Guy's Po-Boys

The Best Restaurants on New Orleans’s Magazine Street Uptown | Eater New Orleans

"Refuel from strolling and shopping at this petite Uptown lunch staple since 1992. Find well-seasoned fillings stuffed inside loaves slathered with mayo and topped with pickles, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Indeed, the fried shrimp po’ boy is one of the best the city has to offer (there’s also a very good grilled shrimp po’ boy)." - Beth D’Addono

New Orleans’s Best Po’ Boy Sandwiches | Eater New Orleans

"Marvin Matherne has owned this 60+-year-old, petite lunch staple since 1992, and he’s usually in the kitchen making the po’ boys himself, stuffing well-seasoned shrimp inside loaves and slathering them with mayo before topping it with pickles, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Indeed, the fried shrimp po’ boy is one of the best the city has to offer and there’s also a very good grilled shrimp po’ boy." - Eater Staff

Where to Eat in New Orleans | Bon Appétit

"Po’boys are supposed to be simple, affordable, and satisfying—and that’s Guy’s: my go-to (often to-go) spot. Grab a fried shrimp po’boy dressed (lettuce, Blue Plate mayonnaise, pickle, and tomato when in season) and round it out with potato salad, red beans and rice, and a Barq’s root beer; keep an eye on daily specials, and if you’re not feeling shrimp the ham-and-cheese or fried oyster are great alternatives. The place is very old-school New Orleans—small, about four tables and zero outdoor seating—so it’s better to eat outside standing on the street or take your po’boy on a leisurely walk to nearby Audubon Park, and remember to generously shake Crystal hot sauce all over it before you head out." - ByAna Castro, as told to Megan Braden-Perry

"When I think about a dish that people primarily go out for, the New Orleans po'boy is the first thing that comes to mind. There are great examples all over the city, but my personal favorite is the shrimp po'boy from Guy's Po-boys. It's a small shop that's always busy but definitely worth the wait." - Trey"
