The PoBoy Shop

I stumbled into The PoBoy Shop after a quick visit to the Wells Fargo next door, and I am so glad I did! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can feel the pride and excitement they have for this new spot. The space is vibrant and inviting, with a dark green color scheme that gives it a cool, fresh vibe. I tried the fried shrimp PoBoy and was seriously impressed. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection — flavorful, crispy, and full of that classic Southern comfort. But the real surprise star? The fries. Hands down some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly seasoned with a kick of spice and so much flavor packed in every bite. To top it off, I had a huckleberry soda made with real cane sugar that was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect refreshing complement to the meal. If you’re in the area, make it a priority to check out The PoBoy Shop. Amazing staff, bold flavors, and a genuine sense of community. This place is going to be a hit!

I just had the shrimp pony and the curly fries. Yummy. I’m from Louisiana so I’m a huge critic of any type of Cajun food (fried shrimp). 10 out of 10, I absolutely recommend. Seasoned well. Very tasty.

Delicious sandwiches! I ordered the Debris (roast beef with gravy, lettuce and tomato). As a native Orleanian, this measured up very well to what I grew up with. The bread is authentic New Orleans French bread, which makes all the difference.

Nice spot right on the corner of Nw hwy 12. Turning left down preston Rd then berkshire might be easier then tryin to cross traffic to turn left off nw hwy 12. Owner informed people on how they came to be and what they're about. Very friendly, they get their bread from Louisiana. The shrimp brought in daily. Good portion size options (6 or 12 inch I believe). I had the shrimp poboy, had a shrimp with every bite, shrimp was breaded and seasoned well; it could've used more of the sauce (Cajun mayo), I'm sure you can always ask for extra. Overall great customer service and awesome food and will try again!

I passed by this location previously and promised myself that if I was in the area again I would visit. Parking was tight but I just parked in the shopping center parking lot across the street. It’s is a cozy place. About 5 tables. I ordered a dirty Cajun, gumbo and large shrimp po boy. Everything was good. I’m usually very critical of gumbo but it was good. Probably in the top five in the DFW area for a restaurant. The dirty Cajun was good. Wish I would have added that Cajun mayo and gotten it dressed but I will next time. The shrimp po boy was good dressed well and had shrimp in every bite. I usually just like mayo and hot sauce but I gave the cajun mayo a try and it was good on the sandwich. I’m from NOLA so I hate to break it to you. You are not getting corner store prices off Preston but I think it’s not over price based on everything location, food quality etc. The real sugar drinks are great! And there is every Zapps flavor you want. You should visit. I’ll be back.

Too much for too little mediocre flavor. The thing is that if you’re going to charge 14.95 for a Poboy make sure to advertise it as half sized. And include fries or a side. I was under the assumption it was a full sized sandwich.

The bread was the star! Soft and the most similar to New Orleans that I have experienced in dfw. Definitely, order a whole vs half PoBoy listed on the menu. I ordered the shrimp. It was tasty but for $24.00 I was still hungry.

Came in for grand opening weekend 😊Jess and Seph were super helpful and friendly. They gave me great recommendations that I will have to come back to try. I went with the classic shrimp poboy for my 1st time. Let me tell you I wish I had gotten a full sandwich because it was so delicious and fresh. Shrimp were seasoned perfectly! Thank you so much and I wish this business the best. For the haters saying it’s expensive… the owners come from a background of a meat deli , so they know a thing or two about the cuts of meat and a good quality place is worth the price 🫶

It was good. Not sure I'd say as authentic as where I've had Po'Boys before, but I also didn't try everything on the menu. Very nice staff, very nice fancy bags, drink cups, etc. A bit pricy in my opinion but..., It is a Po'Boy shop in dallas so.... Food was fresh and tasty. Pretty rich actually, I don't know how one could eat a whole sandwich. Didn't try the mufaletta bc I'm so picky about a good one! Personally, the bread could have been better. Mine was a little soggy. BUT I would go back and try again. At this point I'd give it a 3.5-4. Friendly staff makes it a 4

I was really excited to try this place, espeically knowing how good Evan's Meat Market is. I really enjoy the turkey Poboy so I thought I would try something different at this place. I was particularly excited to try the pastrami. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. The pastrami, which had a decent flavor, but became a little too salty as I kept eating. Also, I love mustard, but it was a little overpowering. Would probably asked for it on the side next time. The biggest disappointment was the curly fries. The portion size was great but most of them were inedible. They were overcooked, and hard a rock. Such a shame because the seasoning on them were tasty. The inside is very nice!! The branding is great. I also appreciate that they offer sugar cane soda. Everyone was super friendly and happy to serve everyone that came in. Overall I didn't have a great first experience but would give it another shot.

Was kind of a fan of this fried shrimp poboy! Flavorful and juicy and tender shrimp. Good bread. Could use a little more sauce on it. Sad to hear this place closed!

The use of "Cajun" is more loose than accurate, especially among those of Louisiana heritage. It's a spartan space in an historic center. The prices are inflated probably due to the high rent. Food did not meet expectations. I will give them an A for effort. Much better muffuletta at Jason's Deli And better sandwiches at The Great Outdoors Parking is horrible. I don't think this location has a long life.

The address must be wrong bc it brought me to a residential neighborhood. I drove around twice and called asking for directions and never found it. The employee told me it was the corner of Westchester and Preston by the Wells Fargo, but I only seen a Wells Fargo off lovers lane. Very confusing waisted 20 min and didn't get to try

If you were sad about Evan's Meat Market don't be. They have virtually the same menu. The delicious sandwich is worth a venture over to NW Highway near tollway. This location was once Yonkers Pizza and before that once upon a time it was a Jamba Juice. The quality of the interior is outstanding. Very well dressed up location letting you know this place cares about its presentation. You're reminded of that when unwrapping your sandwich. Got cold sandwich with their delicious smokey pastrami and added some roast beef with provolone and of course would be complete without their Cajun mayo. This has quickly become my favorite cold sandwich because of that wonderful pastrami. I'm already planning my next visit. The service was very quick and friendly. The overall quality of ingredients is evident with the first bite. We got the dirty fries this time and they were bursting with flavor and had some broken down sausage (plenty).

Great service. The food was good. No tartar and cocktail for the the shrimp PoBoy. Grossly over priced. It was $70 for 3 PoBoys. What? I probably will not go back.

Great authentic Cajun po'boys!!! Excellent quality. I love going here for lunch in Preston Center.

I experienced PoBoy Shop when they were a part of their meat market and again when they opened their PoBoy Shop. While their sandwiches are tasty, they have now cut the amount of sandwich to a "sample size", but charge as if it was a whole sandwich!! Very disappointing!!

A friend of mine brought over a sandwich from there. He got two debris sandwiches. I didn't eat mine because it had mayo and tomatoes on it, and I don't eat either. He got the smalls, and they were barely three inches long. THREE INCH sandwich for $11! WOW!

Not authentic po'boys. Unfortunately Dallas still needs a real po' boy shop. Bologna on a muffuletta?! You won't find bologna on any muffuletta bring severed at Central Grocery in NOLA where the sandwich started. Stop trying to make your own pickles! Pastrami po'boy... again you would be hard pressed to find a pastrami poboy on any menu in New Orleans. The only authentic part is the Zapps potato chips. Look, if you want a decent sandwich it's not a bad spot to grab a sandwich. They are trying! That's why I'm giving it three stars. But if you're looking for a poboy, this isn't the place. I hope the revise and expand the menu.

Had the Dirty Cajun. Boudin was great and the bread was excellent. Real sugar soda fountain was a nice touch as well. Wife and kids really enjoyed the gumbo. Will be back for sure.

I've been excited to try this new sandwich shop, and I finally had time to stop in. It's a small space, nicely decorated and clean, there's minimal seating. I ordered half a roast beef and cheese cold sub. I have no issues with the sandwich, it tasted great. The bread was especially good. The prices are a little steep. The average price of a full-sized sandwich is $19.00. My total was $12.43 for a tiny half sandwich. I'd definitely stop in again, but this won't become a frequent stop.

Small, clean, well organized shop. The decor, glass display case and Huckleberry soda all reminded me of New Orleans. Very friendly staff. The muffuletta was absolutely stuffed with meat and the bread was totally authentic. Will definitely be back.

I really enjoy this place I have had several of their sandwiches , all amazing. Even the fried bologna-outstanding!!!!. The debris fries are great. I even like their regular fries!!! Please go you won't be sorry. Then maybe they can expand and we can all have lunch at the same time lol

We went back for the second time this week and tried a few more sandwiches. The Hot Pastramai was my husband's favorite! I had to get the shrimp again - only I got it with pepperjack cheese, Cajun mayo and pickles only. It was amazing. We also tried the Dirty Sanchez - a grilled boudin poboy topped with jalapenos. All of the sandwiches were out of this world.

Muffuletta was $25.00. Very light on veggies. Only one meat. Let's just say Central Market is not being threatened. NOLA rules !!!

Had great New Orleans Po-boys! Today we had both the fried shrimp and debris roast beef and both were great. The service was also quick and friendly.

Messy, below average taste & quality and couldn't get the order right. It should not be difficult to make an all cheese only with all the fixings correctly, but that's what happened twice. I asked for a cold sandwich, they made it hot. The bread was very hard and dry in several parts of the sandwich. I also asked for all the fixins on the sandwich, and they left a few off. The Manager or GM was working and was not very friendly especially considering I had to wait longer for them to figure out how to ring up and make the sandwich. I don't get it... also why make a vegetarian option not vegetarian by dunking it in beef tallow. Makes zero sense. I don't think I'll be back.

One of the best sandwiches ever! Delicious po boys with fresh, heavenly bread. Has a well decorated little eating area and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Had the hot pastrami and shrimp. Great bread, fresh veg, solid pastrami, and crispy, well seasoned shrimp. No complaints. We love Evan's and will be back here soon! I like the guy below that is apparently the arbiter of what a poboy is. Fairly certain that the chef/owner that grew up in Lafayette butcher shops knows what he is doing. Yes, you can 100% put mortadella/bologna on a muffaletta and it doesn't matter what Central in NOLA does. There is excellent pastrami at Cochon Butcher and Stein's Deli among others. Parkway puts corned beef on a poboy. You're trying way too hard.

I called and ask where I could find their menu. Their return response was we don't publish it. The the person's voice was rude. For this reason I will never go there.

Delicious! Had the debris half and potato salad. My husband had a pastrami. Food was yummy, staff was nice and it didn't take too long. Love the concept will be back often.

Best Poboys in Dallas HANDS DOWN! Everyone is super nice and service is quick! Immediately added this to my list of hot spots in Dallas! I would add a pic of my poboy but it was so good it's already almost gone!

Love the diverse menu! The flavor is awesome and such a needed lunch spot in the area.

I was born and raised in NOLA and have to say that the fried shrimp poboy tasted just like home! The shrimp had that freshness that only comes with gulf seafood, the French bread was "right" - tender on the inside and flaky on the outside, and the service was fast and friendly. If you want an authentic New Orleans style Poboy - RUN, don't walk, to The Poboy Shop! Highly recommend!!

Tried for the first time. Had the hot pastrami, which I would give an average rating due to the meat being extremely dry even with mustard and cheese. The bread actually accentuated the dryness of the meat. If you like NY style pastrami, this is not the same. Service was friendly. Based on this one experience, I prefer Jimmy's Italian market and East Hampton sandwiches. The sandwiches just have more flavor to me.

Had the boudin and Cajun fries and it was all great. It's a small place, but food comes out quick and table turn over quickly as well.
