"Poor Boys in Kingston is known for having queues that go all the way down to the river on a sunny day. Don’t give up. Excellent comfort food (get the seafood platter), a lively dive bar atmosphere, and laid-back service make this New Orleans-inspired restaurant a go-to." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"If this New Orleans-inspired restaurant in Kingston took reservations, it’d be fully booked every weekend. Instead, the queue for Poor Boys skirts around the side and goes all the way down to the river. Excellent comfort food and the lively dive bar atmosphere make this restaurant worth the wait. When it gets to the 15-minute mark and you’re tempted to give up, just glance through the window at the person giving googly eyes to a buttermilk fried shrimp sub, and they’ll give you all the motivation to wait it out." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Crispy buttermilk fried shrimp, sweet brioche bread, top-quality honey mustard sauce. No, you haven’t fallen into an M&S ad, we’re just letting you know what to expect from the seriously tasty and seriously hefty sandwiches from Poor Boys. A New Orleans-style restaurant in Kingston, this casual spot is all about po’boys—a huge sandwich that was handed out to strikers in New Orleans way back in the 1920s." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Nothing we say can prepare you for how filling the seafood sharing platter is at this New Orleans-inspired spot in Kingston. You’ll question whether it’s enough for the three of you. Then 10 minutes, countless bayou-blackened prawns, fried calamari, and half a soft shell crab later, you’ll realise you’ve hardly made a dent. The tray comes filled with three different types of shrimp, a fried crab, springy calamari, and garlicky grilled oysters—it’s comfort food at its finest." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
"“PSA: anyone who likes shrimp and huge sandwiches should probably get acquainted with this beast of a roll. The shrimp is crispy, the mustard adds a nice sweetness, and the brioche bun is the perfect vehicle to safely deliver it all to your mouth.”— RS" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
