Where to Eat the Best Muffulettas in and Around New Orleans

"Chances are, any old-school po’ boy joint in Jefferson Parish will also serve a solid muffuletta. This is true of Parenton’s, a small Irish Channel grocery-turned-Jeff Parish staple that’s been around since the 1940s. It’s served cool here, which is some folks’ preference, in some cases because it makes for better leftovers, and on seeded French bread instead of traditional muffuletta bread." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff

22 Essential Po’ Boy Shops in and Around New Orleans

"Parenton’s got its start as a small Irish Channel grocery in the 1940’s — yes, you read that right. It’s been in Jefferson since the ’50s, flying under the radar for some but with an unwavering following of fans who frequent the shop weekly. It’s known for shrimp and roast beef po’ boys, but consider taking advantage of the daily specials, which include its famous chicken fried steak po’ boy. Either way, you’ll be happy you made this stop." - Eater Staff

This is the first time I've eaten at this great little neighborhood restaurant. Brenda & Dennis are the owners and prepare everything to order. The Shrimp Po Boy was one of the best I've ever had! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the french bread was exactly how I like it, crunchy outside and soft in the middle. I will definitely be back to try the renowned oysters! Prices are very reasonable too.

Adorable family run restaurant. Delicious onion rings. Fried to perfection. Country fried steak poboy was top notch. Oysters were fried perfectly. Will be back!

I was craving a shrimp poboy today. I had been looking at this place for a while and finally decided to give it a try today... It's located in a cozy little neighborhood not far from the main highway. If I lived there, I'd probably be there quite a bit! Lol. It's a cute little mom and pop joint with very nice people, pretty cool decor, and a pretty chill atmosphere. I got the six inch shrimp poboy. It was a pretty decent size that actually filled me up. The bread was fresh and had the perfect crunch. The shrimp were seasoned well, and all the toppings were fresh! If you're in the area, I'd definitely give them a try!!

Great selection of food. Shrimp poboys are delicious! Large portions of food. The people working there were friendly and talk to everyone. No wonder that they're still in business after all these years.

O.M.G. How have I not eaten here before??? I am from down here but only found this place recently from a google maps search 'restaurants near me' type search. This is probably one of THE best kept little secrets in the area. Chicken Fried Steak po-boy with roast beef gravy, on seeded french bread was KILLER!! We should have asked how big was big, because the poboy was the size of my arm.(see attached picture). could have easily fed 2 of us. Crispy fries were just as ordered. Cannot wait to go back for the shrimp poboy and roast beef poboy, and hot sausage poboy, oh and the Teddy (swiss, ham, roast beef), and try the red beans on mondays, or the fried chicken on tuesdays...ugghh so fat.

Got the half shrimp half oyster po-boy quite possibly the best I have ever eaten. Oysters literally melt in your mouth. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this spot.
