Calliope’s

"Calliope’s serves Cajun-Creole food, and the sandwiches are the stars at their Almeda food truck location. Like the “Surf And Turf” po’boy, which stuffs breaded shrimp and slices of roast beef between taut slices of baguette bread. Even as the foot-long sando cools down, it never enters soggy territory—which makes it a great takeout option that can withstand the car ride home. So come to Calliope’s if you’re in the neighborhood and need a new entry for your sandwich arsenal. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"Calliope’s serves Cajun-Creole classics, and sandwiches are the priority at their Third Ward food truck. The best one is the “Surf And Turf” po’boy, which combines thin strips of roast beef with breaded shrimp that maintains a fresh-out-of-the-fryer crispiness. Between the delicate meat and the slight crunch from the shrimp, it's a balanced sando. And though dishes like garlic-laden seafood boils with turkey necks are also on the menu, they’re not as exciting as the 12-inch po’boys. Swing by when you want a quick lunch or a solid takeout option where the sandwich can maintain its integrity through a car ride home." - Gianni Greene
