The Poboy House

Ridiculously Delicious! Prompt service! Decent prices! Here is their Philly Cheese add jalapeño.

What an amazing find! I grew up eating Po Boys and this cozy restaurant doesn’t disappoint! Inside is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Outside is clean and ready the seating is well lit. Staff are super friendly and attentive. And the sandwich….OMG! Delicious and done to perfection. Veggies are fresh and the bread is crisp and chewy like it would be. If I could give 6 stars I would! Go by next time you’re in Port Allen. Or make a trip. You won’t be disappointed!!

Used my hard earned money on a taco salad that contained only lettuce with a spoon full of beef and cheese. The chips tasted like they had been open for 2 weeks. Never again!!

We loved the atmosphere of this shop. It was adorable. However, the food was underwhelming. It ended up being pricey, considering it was just the sandwich with no sides or drinks. My daughter loved the hot sausage poboy, but nothing else really stood out. But the desserts looked great.

I have been ordering my cakes here for several years and they KILL IT every time!!! This one was for my bridal shower. Seriously the absolute best cakes and service around!! It’s so nice to have this great of quality in Port Allen!! And the fillings omg this one was Barry Chantilly and it did not disappoint!

an absolute treasure, great food, very sweet people, fast service. The deserts are the bomb. I have been here several times and always very happy with my food ( taste & temperature ) staff ( smiling & friendly ) and speed of service. Highly recommend!

This was my first Po Boy sandwich. Was driving through from San Diego Ca to Florida and found this spot on google. If you ever want to enjoy a great place with a good vibe and well above customer service this is the place. Oh yeah they have amazing deserts and bake their own bread rolls.

Great good and amazing service! These ladies really know what they’re doing! Best shrimp poboy I’ve ever had, get it with the Booom Sauce and you won’t regret it.

Looks like a locals favorite. Came here for a late lunch with friends and the atmosphere was great so we sat outside. There's a small amount of tables inside but big patio outside unfortunately didn't get any sweets this time but next time I will they look fantastic and looks like you can get custom cakes here. I got the Cubano which wasn't that exciting but definitely filling.

This is a little tiny restaurant on a side street in Port Allen. Their parking lot is cramped, and they're only open for lunch during the week - sadly not open on weekends at all. And it is SO worth the effort to get there! The seafood stuffed avocado is amazing. A whole avocado full of shrimp and lobster and crab with a spicy sauce? Yes, please. We can also say good things about the shrimp poboy, the pork belly Cubano, and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Waffle fries were well seasoned, and it's nice to sit outside when they've got swamp misters going to help beat the heat. And don't leave without a fresh baked cookie! I recommend the peanut butter. Bonus recommendation: when they've got king cakes, get the mixed berry cream cheese or the Zulu. Best on the Westside, in my opinion.

There is a great vibe to this place. A friend and I went for lunch. Wonderful staff. Very friendly. Had bacon burger and fries. Big portions. Loved the food and the place. There was also a lot of chatter about their bakery products being very good. Didn't try, but hey, there's always a next time.

Stopped by after a football camp at LSU. The food was really good and the service was spot on.

Extremely disappointing. The Mediterranean hummus appetizer was made completely different than the description. It had candied walnuts, feta, and covered in dry thyme! it was inedible. The pita tasted of pure grease and was soggy. It was inedible. The roast beef poboy au ju was tasteless and having to pay to dress the poboy with lettuce & tomato was a first in Southern LA. While the deserts were tasty, the portion size and price of some of the cakes are disproportional. Overall, do not waste your time & money for the savory food.

Excellent food and customs service; worth the price and drive. I am really looking forward to going back.

Stopped as we were passing through area. The service was great, people were friendly. The pot roast po-boy was the best po-boy I have had. The bread was phenomenal. The garlic sweet potato fries was a great addition and glad I got them but the po-boy could have stood by itself as a show stopper.

Ruined the Roast Beef Poboy for me that I would drive across the river for frequently. It's an obvious change in ownership and I love the upgrades to the building, but why would you change the food that made this hole-in-wall what it is. They changed the flavorful home cooked roast beef to something tasteless. The bread is not nearly as good either. I know this rant won't change anything, as they're probably making decisions they think make sense - likely out of convenience for them, but they don't know that subtle difference of what makes really good food. There are not a lot of choices in Port Allen so still are busy, but such a shame to loose a previously great sandwich. No reason for me to ever return. Oh well!

Great little gem! I had trouble deciding what to order because everything looked good. Even the baked goods! Great little atmosphere too. Can't wait to come back to try more. Sweet potato fries were bomb!

Had the Philly Cheesesteak POBoy which was delicious. Service was very friendly. Nice atmosphere and music in the background. Had me one of their turtle cookies and let me say it was delicious and worth the $2.50 I paid.

I ordered the Philly steak and sweet potato fries when I received the order the Philly steak look kind of messy there was kind of messy but the flavor was excellent nice melted cheese hot meat the sweet potato fries were delicious and have parmesan cheese on top it was something you need something I've never eaten before I gave it four stars because the place was clean food had good taste the appearance was clean organized people were friendly I spent $18 on a sandwich and fries and a Coke it is pricey

Used to love this place however the winning menu they had has changed. The roast beef poboy tasted nothing like it used to. The dipping gravey is too thick and greasy. And there are no small salads anymore. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Well note to the new owners, don't change something if it's working great. Don't know if I can recommend this place anymore. Also the pictures of that used to be on the wall that gave it its flair is gone. Replaced by generic stuff that has no soul. It's like someone took what's made this place great and gutted it. I wasn't the only unhappy customer. Another man was trying to order gumbo but they ran out of rice. Not a big deal but the place is only open for Lunch. I will be hard pressed to give my future recommendations to anyone. My advice is bring back what works.

Let me preface this by saying I love my girlfriend. However, after 1 bite of their king cake, I contemplated leaving her to run away with this delightful pastry. Beautiful to behold, this King cake stifles any competition. This masterpiece is perfectly moist, with a delicious cream thats bursting with flavor, yet airy and fluffy. While not per say, "traditional", I'd argue this king cake should be the template for all other New Orleans' classics. Simply put, this is a must try.

So I'll start off by saying this place has wonderful food. My husband and I came to eat here often. However, we were highly disappointed with the customer service regarding a custom cake we ordered. The quality of the decorations were beautiful, but it was NOT what was requested. When we brought it back to be fixed, it was rushed and still not right. This was for a gender reveal party the next day. When we came in to discuss what happened the following week, there was zero apology or ownership of the miscommunication for the cake by Chris or Christina. We were offered a refund for the macarons we were mistakenly charged for, but told the cake was not their fault, and refused any sort of apology or solution to make up for the situation. I had been so excited to order a cake from this business, and I was devastated with how the situation was handled. Unfortunately we will no longer return as customers.

Food is delicious. They bake their own bread for the poboys and sandwiches, so it is always fresh. The staff is so friendly and there's an outside eating area that's perfect (when the weather permits). They also offer cakes to order and other baked goods for dessert.

The Queens cake was amazing definitely will get that again. And the ladies were super nice, and all around a cute little place.

OUTSTANDING! We were passing through town and found this place on Yelp. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. My family of 6 tried the Shrimp Poboys, the BLAT sandwich, and Philly Cheesesteak. All terrific! The Chocolate Strawberry Chantilly dessert was a first for us and possibly the best dessert I've encountered in a long time! You must try this! Overall it was a friendly and delicious stop! We will be back!

I've eaten here many times. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich is my favorite. Their desserts and cakes are to die for!! Everyone is always so nice and it's full of locals.

Packed at lunch and for good reason. Staff is very friendly, and quite inviting! I had the Shrimp Pasta Salad, and my, oh my, was it good! Very healthy portions!! My only complaint is that the restaurant fries nothing( not a bad thing, typically). Reason that I consider it a bad thing in this case: no FRIED SHRIMP POBOY. I love my shrimp poboy, but after having this salad, I guess it's not that bad afterall.

By far the best Poboys in the Port Allen area. And the safest, judging by all of the police that eat there. Try the Meatball poboy, add mustard (tell 'em Jamie said so!) I've never had it, but the Whip Salad is the stuff of legends. The staff is so friendly, you'll be back for more!

I live a block from this place and it's always nice to visit and grab a quick boiled shrimp poboy on wheat or a quick shrimp pasta salad. Both are very good and I always feel better giving my money to this local business than a Subway. As another reviewer said, the portions are very generous. The building is tiny and doesn't really look like a restaurant at all, but the food is good and there is plenty of parking and a few tables if you bring a friend to eat with. They're open at lunch only, but if you have the time, swing in and give it a try. The staff is extremely friendly and will learn your name very soon if you are a repeat customer. That's what is so great about small, local businesses. I'm hoping to see them add outdoor seating and some umbrellas at some point in the future. It would be great for the small neighborhood it's in... and for me!

Great place to grab a quick lunch if you are in Port Allen. I had the Chef Salad and it was great! This is definitely a local favorite! They were busy from the time I walked in with phone orders, dining in and taking care of to go's. Small dining area, very friendly staff! I like the fact that they don't fry anything...the food was fresh and healthy tasting!

The BEST salads ever. The whip lady has long been a favorite of mine for over 10 years. With that kind of loyalty, it's got to be good, right? The menu items are great too. Great little family owned business tuck away in historic Port Allen.

Hamburger Poboy was served cold the hamburger was not warm enough to melt the cheese! SAD experience!

Cute little spot with decent grub. Ordered lunch to go with no hassles. Great spot to grab and go as they are fast and efficient. I'd suggest trying the shrimp po boy.

This place has the most amazing sandwiches. Nothing fancy. Just big delicious sandwiches. BLT Po Boy and the Chicken Salad are delicious!

That whip lady salad is a whole lotta awesomeness!!!

The best little poboy house makes all of their salad dressings from scratch. Their salads are very, very fresh. I love visiting this place on lunch break from downtown BR, because of the swiftness of service. The fact that nothing is fried in this place is a plus, especially when you don't want to return to work smelling like a skillet. The place is super small, it may seat less than 20 people. Nonetheless they have a loyal following lunch following that often call in orders for take out. They are only open during lunch hours, so call ahead, place a take out order and enjoy it out by the levy river walk which is less than 1 minutes away. If you want to eat like the locals do, then this is your place.
