**Tasty Tails Review: A Taste of New Orleans Right Here!**
Oh, how I long for that classic Po' Boy sandwich! Tasty Tails brought a little slice of home to my plate, and I couldn't be more grateful. The atmosphere? Think lively sports bar vibes with self-seating and attentive table service that makes you feel right at ease. The background music set the perfect tone--just loud enough to enjoy without drowning out conversation.
Now, let's dive into the food! We kicked things off with a couple of 6" Po' Boy sandwiches and crispy French fries from the lunch menu, plus a generous 12" Oyster Po' Boy from the regular menu. The shrimp? Absolutely fried to perfection! I opted for my oysters to be flash-fried, and they nailed it!
These Po' Boys were served on authentic New Orleans French bread, "dressed" just like back home--with fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy pickles, and a spread of luscious mayonnaise. I couldn't resist adding a drizzle of remoulade sauce to my oyster Po' Boy for that extra kick. Each bite was a delightful trip down memory lane!
Now, here's where I hit a small snag: the portion sizes of the seafood. My 12" oyster Po' Boy had only five oysters--come on, a sandwich that size deserves at least 10-12! And the shrimp? Ideally, I'd like to see 8-10 plump shrimp nestled in there. While the Po' Boys were beautifully prepared, I found myself needing to remove some of the bread and toppings to truly savor the seafood.
Overall, Tasty Tails has captured the essence of a New Orleans Po' Boy, and the flavors are spot on. Just a few tweaks on portion sizes, and they'll be golden! I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit. Until then, happy dining!
