This place is amazing. It is in a strip mall with limited parking. The outside is deceiving. Once you come inside, the store looks small with only a few tables for seating (maybe 12 seats) but the stairs leave you down to a huge bar with TVs, games, and plenty of seating. Also, they purchased the business besides them so they have a bar area upstairs as well. This place is huge. I sat at the new section and was pleasantly surprised that it is set up like a sports bar. I ordered a 20oz $5 Abita Beer (well worth it), Double smash burger with fries (highlight of the meal), $2 taste of bread pudding (worth trying), and the Boudin balls (not much flavor but a lot of food). read more

Real New Orleans style food for sure. You can taste it in everything. Got the boudin balls, Creole BBQ wings, and the andouille sausage po'boy. Boudin balls were the best thing crispy and full of flavor. Wings had a good kick and sauce was hitting. Po'boy was loaded and filling, bread was solid too. Good spot, especially since they open late. I'll be back. read more

Every crawfish season, I somehow find myself back at The Po Boy Shop in Decatur, and every time, I know I am likely signing up for inattentive service. Still, for the sake of crawfish on a Thursday, I give it another try. The setup is pretty much open seating, so you squeeze in where you can, which is fine. I was greeted promptly when I came in, but after being seated, that was about the last I saw of my server. I understand that the staff may help each other out, but no one really stopped by to check in, refill drinks, or make sure everything was going well. As for the crawfish, this first boil of the season was disappointing. They were mediocre at best and noticeably overcooked. Quite a few were already dead, so I did not eat those. The standout, as always, was the corn. The corn and the sides continue to be the best part of the bowl and were easily more enjoyable than the crawfish themselves. I am hoping this was just an off day because I may give them one more chance this season, but this visit did not leave much of an impression in a good way. For a place people look to during crawfish season, I really wanted the crawfish to be better. read more

Bread pudding still hits the spot! Even if you have never been a fan (I was not), the bread pudding here will change your mind. I brought three to go to bring to my front desk staff. Service was prompt and I enjoy the secret bar in the basement which you access by the staircase to the left of the register. Gotta be 21 years or older so I cannot bring my teenage son, but for a date lunch with husband, it works well. If you are wanting vegetarian, the oyster mushroom po boy is delicious! read more

So it's crazy that I've been to this place several times and have yet to write a review smh. A coworker put me on to this place many moons ago and it has always been clutch! I normally get the small shrimp po boy because i made the mistake of getting the regular my first time there and let me be the one to tell you it is a lot of food! Ever since then I have always gotten the small. Last night I tried the chicken sausage Philly po boy special they had going on. It was very good! I took off a star because we had wrong items brought to us twice during our visit. They were very very busy though. That won't deter me from coming back though! read more

My friend had mentioned this place, especially because it's really close to where he lives. I was surprised to see how large the space was in the lower level. We got seated right away since it wasn't that busy for a Thursday afternoon. We shared their Crawfish pie, alligator po boy, and debris po boy. The pie was really good, but definitely on the small side. Comes out piping hot so be careful. Both of these sandwiches were nicely filled and we were sure which one was necessarily better than the other. Would come again and can't wait to try more from their menu! Our waiter was nice and efficient with coming to our table. This is a very casual place that you can easily spend hours playing pool, darts, or watching a sports game. read more

All in all there is to many options in the area for a place to fall this short . read more

The Po'Boy Shop - Not crispy no flavor what a shame - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

So I visited with my bro on 4-4-2026. Last time I visited this place was like 5'yrs ago maybe 4. I used to order a shrimp poboy sandwich or half and half shrimp &: oyster poboy combo to go. That particular time my sister was in town visiting so I brought her and my mom here for food. What happened next made us exit the restaurant immediately. The waitress had someone food order in her hand and the condiment fell on the floor and she picked it up and didn't throw it in the trash and wash her hands and get a replacement she put it back in the container and proceeded to walk downstairs to the basement. Hopefully the sanitary ethics have improved here. My brother has been going here recently with friends to shoot pool so I decided to give them a try again. After we parked we entered and went to the basement my first time in the basement. Keno and some other digital games available and Darts and 2 billiards tables. I went to the bar area and I got my brother a Stella and me a Guniess 0.0 NA beer. Be sure to get a receipt and check your funds that you received if you are getting change people can make mistakes and are only human. The bartender got the drinks and a server was over there. My bro and I were near the pool tables with a end table small space not a big table where other patrons were. The waitress was over there taking care of them and even past by us with out asking us did we need service or menus. My brother had to ask her literally. My brother ordered fried mushrooms and gator bites and I ordered a shrimp and oyster poboy. Everything came with a spicy remolaude sauce. Idk what happened the waitress might have had something on her mind or got it mixed up I received a shrimp poboy sandwich at first then my order got sorted out like I said mistakes happen and the other server took care of that with my oysters. The food order came out and it was alright.I enjoyed myself shooting pool a dollar per game using quarters iit's been a minute for me since my last game also my brother showed me something about Keno a friend showed him and played. read more

I've been to The Po'Boy Shop in Decatur a few times now, and one thing I can always count on is their wings. This time, I ordered the Country Fried Cajun Chicken Wings, and once again, they did not disappoint. They were a good size, extra crispy, and packed with flavor--definitely the highlight of my meal. I also tried a cup of gumbo, but unfortunately, it wasn't to my liking. It didn't look or taste like the typical gumbo I'm used to, so that was a bit of a letdown. But it was very nice of them to comp it off my check. read more

I will say it was an okay experience at first with having a newer waitress. The food was decent until the dessert came out. The beignets looked amazing but they were covered in what Craig, one of the partners, said was baking powder. AFTER we already ate one each. The server took the plate without even explaining why they were taking the plate. Awful experience, Craig was very defensive and dismissive and only offered to comp the beignets and then walked away. Spent over $70 on brunch and was POISONED. read more

I've been meaning to come here for quite a while. I think I didn't because Hubby and I are frequent New Orleans so much and always go to the best po boy shops. But I was in the neighborhood yesterday and decided why not. First off the lady at the front counter is the nicest. Pleasant attitude and smile. I ordered the half and half (half shrimp, half oysters) fully dressed. It was very good. The remoulade sauce had a little kick that was just enough. Also the beer was really cold. I believe they even be using leidenheimer bread. Which is delicious. I see that they have a basement bar with pool tables, etc. I'm gonna bring Hubby with me next time and we'll check it out. read more

The po boy shop is always a hit! Our order was taken by a lovely employee who was very attentive and friendly right upon our entry. She took our order and told us our food would be ready in about 15 minutes. My family and I sat down at a table and our food came in about 10 minutes. The food was incredible as always! I got the blackened shrimp. Poboy and the flavor was insane. This is the kind of sandwich you only find in New Orleans. It's such a short way away, so I always love to stop here whenever I can. I will definitely be returning ! read more

Dope little spot!! You walk in to the counter at the front then the downstairs bar has a ton of tables and seating. I went with the double cheeseburger and it was great. Very simple, good meat blend, potato bun and special sauce top it off. The fries are delicious, like steak fries but thinner and crispier. My buddy had the surf and turf that looked amazing as well. Service was great, food is good, huge menu so there is something for everyone. Definitely recommend! read more

Another visit to the Po Boy Shop. This time for the half and half with a side of red beans and rice, with shared fries. I have now tried most of the po boys they offer and the half and half probably moved into the top 3. Actually, the only one I would not order again is that Patton sausage po boy. I think that is a local sausage that I'm sure others probably love. In any case, the shrimp were great and the oysters were even better. I really like their red beans and rice and the fries are simply the best in town. The service was good, as always. You can't really go wrong here. read more

Food is beyond awesome. People are friendly. Never been to the bar downstairs that's next.

Loved Heidi! Wow what a beautiful breath of fresh air and fun. The food is the same old good eats. But consistency of service seemed challenging at times. Nice folks. read more

This place looks unassuming from the outside, even the front counter. But go down the stairs for a super spacious sports/dive bar feel and wonderful cajun. I sat at the bar for dinner. My bartender/server was very friendly and checked in on my every once in a while. The food was absolutely delicious. I settled on boudin balls and the shrimp platter with Jalapeño Hush Puppies & Red Beans & Rice. I had a little bit of leftovers, but wanted to taste the bread pudding. The taste size was the perfect portion for a sweet treat without being too filling. read more

Po'Boy is a totally iconic establishment. Unfortunately for all of us, it knows it's an iconic establishment, and the prices reflect that. I got the cheapest Po'Boy (chicken) for $18 + tip. My friend got another Po'Boy for $20. In all, we spent nearly $50 on just two footlongs. The food and service was good, but in no world are two subs worth that. My guess? They started hiking the prices and all the Emory kids spending their parents' money just kept on coming like lambs to the slaughter. More power to them--I'd do the same. I just won't be going back myself. read more

I'm mad I haven't been here before now, there is a basement y'all with a nice bar area, pool tables, etc. They have plenty of TVs to watch the games and the food is banging. The fried pickles taste like the ones I used to get in Texas, nice and salty. The po boy was delicious but I saved half for the next day and all the sauce soaked up in the bread and it was even better. The gumbo needed more seasoning, the crawfish pies were full of flavor, the service was great and the food didn't take forever to come out. I will be back. read more

The Po'Boy Shop brings New Orleans flavor to Atlanta. The po'boys are generously filled, perfectly messy, and packed with seasoning, while the bread hits that ideal balance of soft and crusty. It's casual, satisfying, and exactly the kind of place you go when you want comfort food done right. I got the shrimp poboy, half of it blackened and half of it fried, with crystal sauce on it. It was slap your momma good! read more

The Po'Boy Shop is a lively and eccentric place for yummy food and drinks! While I have only been to the basement bar of this restaurant, I have had good times. There's plenty of seating downstairs, as well as games (i.e., billiards) and television screens to fill the hearts of sports fans. Service can be slow or fast downstairs--I think it depends on the time and the server. I ordered the Fried Pickles and snacked on a Popcorn Shrimp Po'Boy that my friend had ordered. The Fried Pickles were really good and hit the spot while I was sipping on the Puppy Punch, which tasted strong but also like cough medicine. I had a small bite of the Popcorn Shrimp Po'Boy and it tasted yummy! I feel like it is hard to go wrong with fried food, which is why I enjoyed the few food items I had here. read more

I've ordered from here to-go numerous times but this was my first time going down to the basement. I had a great time! The atmosphere was very laid back and exactly what I was looking for on a Wednesday night. We ordered fried prickles and Cajun meat pies for our appetizers and they were amazing! We also ordered a shrimp po'boy and a crawfish po'boy (both with sides of fries). The remoulade sauce is spicy (if you have digestive/inflammation issues like me, do NOT risk it because they unfortunately do not have a mild version). The fries were surprisingly great! I was nervous because of the shape but they somehow worked. I also had a cut of the bread pudding which was great but was on the heater/hot plate a little too long because the top part was a little dried out while the inside was super warm and moist. Overall, great place, great customer service, can't wait to come back and try breakfast! read more

So some of my favorite food is Cajun and someone put me onto this spot. The front part of the shop is a regular storefront. It looks like a carryout type of situation. There's free parking so you'll come in and park and walk in the front and order and wait for your food or sit at the tables that they give. It also has a "hidden" bar, which is something that I gravitate toward on a regular. The downstairs basement area is about at least 10 times bigger than the upstairs part. Coming in. Looking to your left, you see a door that leaves downstairs and there's signs that say the basement. So it's not something that you are looking at straight away but you really can't miss it. The top floor has a few seats, inside and outside, but space is very limited. Maybe only like 5 tables on the inside. The basement has tons of seating, pool tables, TVs, and mad space. You can order food in the basement area if you would like to, they'll give you a number and you'll sit at the table. You can order from the bar, watch some TV, or play pool. It's much more lively. Just to know, there's also a back entrance that goes straight to the basement bar versus going to the front entrance and walking downstairs. So there's parking on both sides that's also free so just keep that in mind. If you come around the back of the building, you can still go in. Crystal wings - I thought the wings were okay. They really want fried as hard as I would like they were definitely seasoned. Well and very meaty. If they fried them with a little more time in the fryer, they would come out a little more gold and crispy and they would have been great. You get a choice of ranch or blue cheese and you get celery with it as well. Boudin balls - Now these were actually really good and they were exactly fried to perfection. It came with a spicy mustard sauce, but she added a little extra kick to it but the flavor was really good. The texture was really good. They were very crispy and full of meat. You get about a handful of them, but they were actually a really nice size as well. I would get these again. Half and half po boy - So I got the sandwich that had oyster and shrimp. Both of them were fried and it came with a remoulade sauce and lettuce and tomatoes. The sandwiches are really good size, you only need one of the regular size sandwiches. You should be good to go. Everything was flavorful and tasty. I would love to try more of their sandwiches but I don't have any issue with the sandwich that I got! French fries - was it really overwhelmed by the french fries. They were like steak fries cut very flat. Nothing special, I probably would need to get the fries again on my next order. Overall, this spot definitely asked some things that I want to try. But what I've had has been really good already. So think of it as a sports bar setting in the basement. So I enjoyed all of that and look forward to more of what they have to offer. read more

First date experience. First time here ever and I've never heard of it before. I'll be back. It's a unique establishment bcos when you walk in it doesn't seem large or like a sit-in restaurant. Very smart to keep takeout orders upstairs. Tables were plenty. It's first come, first serve & family style. You just sit at any open seat even next to strangers. Lots of TVs mounted, pool tables, casino slots, & music. We ordered few things to taste. Two Poboys, crawfish étouffée and boudin balls. It was all tasty, but not like New Orleans. The Hurricane seemed smaller than I expected but it packed a powerful punch. We had to share ours!! - 1 star due to ridiculous noise level. I couldn't hear the person across from me. Cut the music if you're going to have games & TVs going. - 1 star We had to keep waving & searching for a server. They're spread thin! read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon with the family. We entered and there was a register, kitchen, and a few tables. The lady at the register told us that there was a downstairs, aka basement, with more tables, TVs, and a bar if we wanted to sit there. Of course we chose the basement option. Walking into the basement gives you a little bit of Mardi Gras vibe with the colors and decorations, it was also more lively with the TVs and the conversations of the people down there. I like the concept and believe it was executed well. We chose a table and while we waited for a server we grabbed a few more menus since there was only one at the table. For appetizer, I chose fried pickles and my sister ordered crawfish pies, and we ordered a round of waters for the table. Our server also brought over a couple of drink menus. For our meals, my sister and I ordered the regular fried vegetarian po boy, and she got fries. My dad ordered the small blackened catfish po boy with fries. My husband ordered the regular alligator po boy with fries. 2 beers and a lemon drop were also ordered. Crawfish pies were ok. Could've used a little more flavor. Fried pickles were good and I enjoyed the remoulade dipping sauce that it came with. I appreciated that there was a vegetarian option and the po boy was good. Nice size, flavor, crunch. Alligator po boy was good with a nice portion of fried alligator. Catfish po boy was also good. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we enjoyed our time with each other. read more

Po'Boys service was prompt and the ambiance in the basement area was like a typical sports bar with an abundance of tvs. I had the crawfish pie appetizer, shrimp poboy and fries. All were great. The only draw backs were that they only serve beignets in the morning (why), the gumbo tasted a hair above burnt (a friend let me taste hers) and the king cake was warmed up in the microwave so it was tough to eat. I would go back though for the poboys and crawfish pie! read more

PLEASE NOTE: This review is only about the 3rd-party ATM machine in their restaurant. Somebody skimmed my card at their ATM. The withdrawals pictured at the Po Boy's ATM were mine and are only to show that I'm not making it up that I used their ATM. I used it to withdraw rent money, even though I was warned by a local not to do it. So far, not listening to that advice has cost me $3100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MY $3100 BEER AT THE POBOY RESTAURANT ON CLAIRMONT RD. I asked a local where to get a quick beer to wait for traffic to go down. She said The Po'Boy Shop, but she warned that lots of Emory students were saying they had problems with their ATM cards after going there. I didn't listen. This is what happened to me after using their ATM machine to withdraw rent money: Over $900.00 in cash was stolen via multiple ATM machines on Cheshire Bridge Rd. within 20 minutes. I was paying for *FIVE* Ubers running at the same time all over Atlanta; I was paying for an $1100 hotel suite at a hotel; I bought $120 in gas while I was riding MARTA on the way home; I paid another $135 at a liquor store; I paid $135 for Uber Eats and $155 for a taxi; I spent $300 at a strip club and $175 at a different strip club; I bought a fancy steak dinner; and I paid for some girl's car repair and also her rent, because I guess she just meant that much to me... evidently I also attempted to buy her jewelry, but my money had run out. My bank and I are still adding the total up; so far it has cost me $3100, and my bank says 5 more charges are still pending. Lesson Learned: Even if it is a local favorite restaurant, avoid using 3rd-party ATM machines, especially ones placed in dark places where someone can put a card skimmer on it. It's also really bad for the business' reputation. Message to Owner: If locals are warning strangers about your ATM machine, then surely you should have also heard complaints. It paints you, as the business owner hosting that machine in your restaurant, as either indifferent or out-of-step with what Emory students are warning the public about. In the worst possible light, people might even think you are aware of the complaints- thinking that it's your own ATM machine, or owned by a business friend, etc. Federal banking laws stipulate that if you have been made publicly aware of possible wire fraud occurring in your establishment, then you can face up to $30,000 in fines per incident (I did 4 withdrawals), along with 15-30 years of federal imprisonment. You can lose your right to own a business forever, in any state, and be banned from owning a stake or even a minority partnership with any business that handles money of any kind - even a nonprofit. You can be denied home and life insurance, and real estate brokers, CPAs, and retirement advisors may refuse to do business with you. read more

People were nice. Food was okay, not true Cajun Neighbor feel. Bar downstairs but didn't go.

The basement bar is a lot of fun. You have to be 21 to enter downstairs. It has a fun atmosphere with lots of interactive games, like darts and pool. Everyone is always friendly and helpful as we order. The manager has come over to speak to us several times. We always get the same thing because it is so good. I love the hurricane and my husband gets a smoked whiskey. We share Cajun meat patties for an appetizer. I get a fried shrimp Poboy, the hubby gets a blackened tilapia Poboy, and we split an order of fries. There is also an upstairs to order "to go" or sit in some of the smaller tables if you're not 21. read more

ordered a muffuletta sandwich to go, my name was called, I left with my order (I thought). when I got home and took a bite, not a muffuletta but was a fish sandwich instead. Called them, explained that we had each taken a bite and was told to bring the rest of sandwich back to store. I after a bit of disagreement back and forth over bringing them a sandwich with bites taken out of it, I was told to come back up and get my sandwich. I did so after finishing lunch. When I went to get my muffuletta the shift had changed and no one had a clue about my issue. I finally left with my sandwich thanks to the dinner crew but The horrible service and lack of communication by the lunch staff cost me what should have been a pleasant lunch in addition to the time wasted undoing the mistakes of the lunch staff.
