"For po' boys, head to Gene's. 'It’s only $9, and they’re huge,' says Nina Compton, executive chef/co-owner of the widely-acclaimed Compère Lapin. Options at Gene’s include shrimp, catfish and chicken patty. 'Can’t go wrong with any one, it just depends on my mood.'" - Abbe Baker

"Gene’s Po-Boys is open 24/7 and the bright pink exterior makes it a beacon for bar goers from blocks away in every direction. Order a roast beef po’boy with debris - the delicious cooking juices that make this sandwich something special - and if you’re there before midnight, make sure to grab a drink from Curbside Daiquiris next door, too. photo credit: Erwin Kuhn" - Team Infatuation

Poboy is a famous local New Orleans food. We are attracted here since this store get the number 1 rating for poboys. The restaurant environment was sketchy. I cannot believe this is so called number 1 poboy restaurant. But tasty is tasty, we ordered chicken, catfish and shirmp poboys. They are all delicious. I will recomment chicken poboy. To me, the poboy here are a little bit pricy.

The best late night dive and so incredibly delicious. That NewOrleans flavor. And with the addition of the street car everyone will be chasing this small window of Nola Soul

For all the hype it really didnt live up to the expectations. The food was not what I expected I had the half and half poe boy it tasted alright but it wasn't amazing I mean it was nothing special about it what so ever. Its a small sandwich shop, no seating... and very little parking

Literally best poboy I've EVER had. This place is like what defined a poboy. It's luke 1920 when Budweiser revolutionized the beer industry, this place set the standard for what a poboy is. I've never really liked poboys that much, but after this, omg, amazing!! Will be back!!

We saw Gene's poboys on tv, had to try it, it exceeded our expectations, the shrimp poboy is a must have, loaded with shrimp, hot, and freshly made, and the roast beef philly didn't disappoint.

There was a long wait. The owner and staff member got into an argument in front of the customers which made the experience uncomfortable. Five thumbs down.
