Po Boy Jim’s on H Street serves up hearty, authentic Louisiana po’boys, Cajun classics, and strong, vibrant cocktails in a lively, casual vibe.
"The family-owned icon on H Street NE offers an extensive selection of its eponymous sandwiches, all served with a side of Cajun fries. Shrimp po’boys here come three ways (barbecue, grilled, or battered), but pulled pork, lobster, steak and cheese varieties are also fan favorites. An additional outpost sits in Columbia, Maryland." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
"Po Boy’s pillow pastries are served with strawberries and heaps of powdered sugar ($6). The dough is so light, there’s no sugar rush with this dessert. It’s easy—maybe too easy—to order another round." - Abi Newhouse
"Po Boy Jim’s two-story D.C. locale quietly closed this spring." - Tierney Plumb
"H Street’s po’boy stalwart serves not one, but five, types of layered Hurricanes. The strongest of the bunch starts with Bacardi (dark and white) rums, fruit juices sinked with grenadine, and blue curacao. A whopping five more rums (white, pineapple, coconut, black, and spice) join Captain Morgan Cannon Blast. The dangerous drink is topped with a bottle of Abita Purple Haze lager." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
"It’s the best po’ boy shop in D.C. now with two locations (U Street, NW and H Street, NE). Here you’ll find both seafood and meat po’ boy varieties along with spicy voodoo wings." - Tim Ebner
