Streetcar Po-boys

This place is closed! Went by today because I had a groupon and looked through the windows of the locked doors — kitchen is totally cleaned out and bare. Phone is disconnected. Bummer.

We have tried to eat there three times now on different days and they are closed during normal, posted business hours. This is so frustrating! I’m done trying.

This place is presumably OUT OF BUSINESS. Visited for lunch on Dec. 17, 2015 only to find a sign explaining they were closed due to illness. When I called in the evening, I found that their phone is no longer in service. No business disconnects their phone if they’re merely closed for a day or two due to illness…

The sandwiches here are great. Large and messy, I enjoyed every bite. The chicken parm was my favorite.

AMAZING!
The food was AWESOME! We had the View Carré (barbecue beef), the catfish platter, and full seafood platter. All were perfect. Love it.
Their peach cobbler, bread pudding, and bignets are also perfect.
Everyone there is amazing and nice and super friendly. I felt at home right as I walked in. I’ll be visiting again often.

First timers! Cute family owned restaurant, New Orleans themed.
This is what we ordered:
The Big Easy– Fried Shrimp Po-​Boy sandwich. Good portion, cut in half. Included mayo, tomato, pickles, and lettuce. Juicy plump shrimp! Lightly battered seasoned. Everything on a baguette bun.
Boyfriend ordered the catfish Po-​boy. (I forget the actual name of it)
Also included mayo, tomato, pickles and lettuce. Catfish was lightly battered and seasoned. Fresh taste and cooked perfect, juicy in the middle and lightly crisp edges. No fishy flavor.
Fried pickles– super good! Lightly battered with a creamy dipping sauce.
Sweet tea– enough said :)
All in all I enjoyed everything! My only complaint would be the fries were a little over cooked but we were too busy enjoying our sandwiches to let it ruin our meal. Great place. Will be back again!

The catfish poboy and gumbo was fricken delicious! My wife had the ragin Cajun and was equally satisfied. Big cat had the shrimp platter and was blown away. This place is definitely worth checking out!

I’ve been here two or three times now, and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s clearly family run, and the owner of the restaurant takes a lot of pride in her business. And she should, because it’s the real deal!
I’ve tried a few different places in Las Vegas, but have always been disappointed. Lola’s for example, was AWFUL. I’d about given up, when I found these guys.
Things I’ve tried:
Shrimp Poboy: just as delicious as the poboys I used to get in New Orleans.
Homemade Cajun Chips: nice and crispy with a hint of spice.
Poboy with Boudin: It’s been years since I’ve had boudin, and I literally sighed with happiness with I stuffed this bad boy in my mouth.
Beignets: HUGE fluffy, airy, and covered with brown sugar.
Cajun Hushpuppies: ahhh, a little piece of heaven.
Things I want to try out next:
Gumbo. Because of COURSE!
Red Beans and Rice
Fried Pickles
Cajun Fried Mac and Cheese.
I love this place so much I could live here. Not only is the food delicious, it’s also pretty reasonably priced, considering the prices of the other local «cajun restaurants». The service is wonderful too. They go out of their way to make you feel like family.

I’m a regular user of GrubHub, both because I don’t have a car and, when I’m not working, I really don’t want to leave my apartment. I was going through the list of boring and familiar options available for delivery and I came across this little gem. As soon as I started looking through the menu, my hopes were high. They certainly didn’t disappoint.
As a sandwich, I got The Gulf. It’s a delicious catfish sandwich slathered in tarter sauce, lemon juice, mayo, lettuce and tomato. I got it without tomato because, let’s face it, who eats tomato? Yuck! Anyways, when the sandwich arrive and I took a whiff, it was heaven. Having grown up with grandparents who were from the south and fished quite often, I was used to having delicious fried catfish at least once a month. Po Boy’s definitely brought me back as I bit into that sandwich. It was a little messy, but it was that most tender catfish I’ve had in a long time.
Next was the Cajun Mac and Cheese bites. Yum! They had a nice spice, though not a burn, to them. They were cheesy and gooey and also came with ranch! Frankly, they were bomb (dot) com!
I also got a Southern Sweet Tea. It was a little less sweet than I would have liked, but still pretty darn delicious and it was gone before I know it. Too many places out here take iced tea and add sugar to it and call it sweet tea. No. That’s not sweet tea. That’s cold, unsweetened, tea, with granules of sugar floating around in it. Po Boy’s knows how to make it right and I could love them just for that.
Lastly was the delivery portion. GrubHub gave me a 60 – 70 minute delivery time. They were here in about 30. The guy who delivered was very polite and professional and seemed to have a great attitude when it comes to his job.
Overall, from the food to the service, I’m highly impressed and definitely recommend it to others. I know I’ll be back!

Their food was really good and fresh. I’m skeptical to buy alligator po boys from places because they tend to never be as good and fresh as you would get in Louisiana. But they did an amazing job with the gator.
If you love yourself some southern food I suggest you Check this place out.

I tried the new place recently, and I really like this location much better. The food was very good. I enjoyed the seafood platter and the beignets. The fried food was good, but not the best. I really wish the portions were bigger. Two small pieces of fish, 3 – 4 small shrimp, and the same for oysters. The service was top notch. Parking was easy. I will try this place again. I see they have a happy hour M-​F 4−6(?) with half price sides and deserts. The place is clean and well decorated.

Really nice lady at the counter. Food came out fast. We had the street car po boy and the BBQ beef sandwiches as well as the fried pickles and fried mac n cheese for sides. The sandwiches usually comes with the Cajun chips but they were out today and they gave us Cajun fries instead. The fries were delicious! The streetcar po boy which had the shrimp, catfish, and oyster was good but needed a bit more sauce. The fried pickles were a little salty. The Fried Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy. Oh we also had the beignets for dessert it was a bit on the heavy side but was still airy. Overall a good experience. My husband said we’ll definitely come back so he can try the fried alligator po boy!

A Streetcar Po-​Boy I did desire.
Loved the food and the service, but what I didn’t like is the décor. Holy moly, I get it, you’re a New Orleans themed Po-​Boy sandwich shop. I don’t see the need for cheesy gold and purple Mardi Gras décor to hit me in the face everywhere I turn. This place sort of looks like a forgotten Mardi Gras storage unit from Party City. Ok, now that I’ve given birth to that brain baby, on to the food…
I came here with few friends so I was able to try a multiple things off the menu; The Big Easy, The French Market, House Cajun chips and Cajun Fried Mac n’ Cheese balls. I normally just highlight the few stellar items from my visit, but everything I had was amazing with deep rich flavors; crunchy, spicy and filled with heart and soul.
The French Market, Andouille sausage with slaw and creole mustard. Pure classic flavors, the Andouille sausage was juicy all the way through and the bread was light and didn’t bury any of the sausage snap.
The Cajun Chips and Cajun Fried Mac n’ Cheese Balls were a pair made in crunchy, greasy heaven. Crunchy on the outside and piping hot and gooey in the center, I bow to you Mac n’ Cheese ball. I think the Cajun Chips are sprinkled with magic, a magic that doesn’t allow you stop eating them or maybe it’s Voodoo?
The Big Easy matches it’s name perfect. A large sandwich that’s amazingly easy to devour in a matter of seconds. Lightly fried large shrimps and spicy mayo on a soft French roll. The bread is so soft it almost disintegrates in your mouth.
Great service, great food, but it can be a little pricey. Definitely a Streetcar Po-​Boy I did desire.

Guess who’s back? Streetcars back… with fried chicken! But more on that later…
The new Streetcar is somewhat tucked away in the corner of the Red Rock Plaza just off Charleston & Decatur. While a bit smaller than the original location, this new one is brighter, updated, and overall just a much nicer spot. There’s plenty of seating available, and I like that they still have the display of little stuffed animals they let the kids pick from. This was something my son fell in love with at the first one, and was pretty excited to see it come back too. About the only thing they seemed not to bring back was the full service. You’re now going to be ordering at the counter and waiting for you food to come out, unlike the original spot.
The menu itself seems to be mostly the same, but with quite a few twists thrown in. Remember that fried chicken I mentioned? Come out to Streetcar on a Wednesday with about $ 8 in your hand, and you’ll be eating good! Their all new fried chicken plate is one of my personal favorite «special» items and reason enough to stray away from the po-​boys. In fact, it’s one of the better ones I’ve had in town. Although a little on the greasier side, the flavor is outstanding, and it comes out super crispy. Then they serve it with a large side of mashed potatoes, a cup full of corn, AND cornbread too. Let me tell you, for $ 7.95 you’ll be hard pressed to find a better plate of fried chicken in this city.
Though if fried chicken isn’t your thing, they’ve also added quite a few other items. They’ve now got a gumbo, jambalaya, red beans & rice, and other daily specials. If you follow their Facebook page, they seem to be steadily posting a specials menu every week.
But what it’s really about is the po-​boys! On my first visit to this new location on the day they opened, I went with the classic «Gulf» (fried catfish) po-​boy. You have the option to get your sandwich «dressed» with all the standard toppings, or customize it to your liking. I like mine without lettuce, and just a little mayo. That way you can really taste the fish, and get the flavor of their infamous bread. It’s still just as close to perfect as you can get for this type of food in my opinion, and I love the soft, but crispy and flaky textures.
My only complaint is with the portions. We hadn’t been to the original for quite some time, but heard some talk of smaller portions being an issue, and I hope that doesn’t stay a usual thing. My catfish was noticeably smaller when directly comparing my pictures of the exact po-​boy from the original location. Even my sons «View Carre’» (bbq beef) was pretty lacking in the meat portion department. Sadly that beef was so dry in his, I wouldn’t recommend that one anyway.
Overall though, Streetcar is, and likely always will be a spot I really enjoy eating at. With the addition of specials, and other really good options on their dessert menu, they’ve got a whole lot to offer. As long as they stay on this track they are on now, I don’t think they’ll be going anywhere anytime soon.

Excited to go to the restaurant after reading all the raving reviews and I was highly disappointed. I order the streetcar poboy which includes shrimp catfish and oysters. None of the seafood tasted fresh the «catfish» reminded me of a combination of Swai and fishsticks. Adding to the fact that it’s not fresh the prices should reflect as well. They’re very overpriced for the portion and quality of food. The seafood had absolutely no flavor very very bland and served at room temperature. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere gives off a New Orleans feel which is where the one star comes from. Oh and the fountain station for drinks was laughable everything was out of order except for Orange and coke (that would be nice information before asking if you want a drink). Unfortunately I won’t be coming back

When I say this is the real deal NOLA food!!! Its a family own and run establishment. French bread ordered straight from Gambino’s and Leidenheimer bakeries in N.O. They also have Pattons hot sausage TOO! The owner is always present and greets all the customers with hugs and treat everyone like family! We came in while some else was having an event that the owner made King Cake and my family (party of 8) was offered some to eat while there and to take some home as well. This is the only place in my 8yrs of living in Vegas ive been able to get REAL beignet and Café au lait! Definitely going to become regulars here

I honestly felt like I was in New Orleans. The hospitality, the flavors and the atmosphere took me back to the place I love. I now love this gem in Vegas. If I lived here, I’d be here at least 5 times a week.
It was so good the first time around, my guy and I had to come back the very next day for more.
Thank you for the love, Gwen and the Streetcar family. We will head your way straight off the plane next time we’re in town!

After a long wait, Streetcar Poboys is back in a brand new and better location.
The restaurant is at the corner of Decatur and Charleston in a small strip mall. It’s a smaller location than their previous restaurant, but it still feels spacious. You order at the counter and they still have all the favorites on the menu.
I ordered the roast beef and gravy, my fella ordered the chicken parmigiana sandwich. The bread was as great as I remembered and the sandwich was solid. We shared the fried mac & cheese as well. Everything we ordered was excellent and I look forward to coming back again soon even though they aren’t close to me in the least.

They’re back, and it’s better than ever!!! Food is amazingly authentic and hits the spot every time. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and the surrounding area, so trust me when I say I know a good poboy when I taste one! I’ve yet to try anything on the menu that wasn’t to die for. So glad they’re back open, and in an even nicer location to boot! No excuses now, Vegas — you have to check out the best in town!
Pro tip — you can’t leave without having an order of beignets and a cup of bread pudding. You can thank me later!

StreetCar’s back ALRIGHT!
I was SO thrilled that Streetcar Po-​Boys opened in a new location.
I had such a great visit at the old spot, and never had the chance to take my fella to enjoy their food.
We stopped by today, just a day after they opened for business!
I love the new location: much nicer neighborhood, much cleaner, bright… really good location.
Service was great. There was one tiny mixup with the order, but to make up for it, they brought us out some beignets for dessert… I’ll get to that in a minute.
We ordered the Streetcar, which is fried catfish, fried shrimp, and fried oysters. We got it dressed with lettuce, tomato, and half mayo (fella isn’t a fan.). We also ordered the Cajun fried mac n cheese, and the fried okra.
After a few minutes, our server brought over a sandwich that looked great, but wasn’t ours, it was a roast beef with gravy. She apologized profusely, and when she brought our actual order over, she let us know that due to the mix up and the wait, they’d be giving us some complimentary beignets. That was very sweet, and not necessary.
The Streetcar was delicious. Fried catfish, full of flavor. Oysters that weren’t dripping in grease, and perfect shrimp. The bread is to die for.
The Cajun Mac n Cheese was a HUGE hit… perfectly battered, hot and creamy on the inside… I’m thinking now that I should have taken a picture of the inside, it was so unbelievably cheesy.
The fried okra was nothing less than perfection.
This was the first time I’d ever had beignets, and let me tell you, these are WONDERFUL. Crunchy on the outside, doughy and sweet on the inside, covered in powdered sugar… (*Pro-​tip: When sharing these with someone you love, think of Echo and the Bunnymen’s song «Lips Like Sugar» and share a sugar kiss. Trust me.)
The owner stopped over to chat with us, like she had at the old location, which I think is a great personal touch. She truly loves what she does, and seems to delight in making people happy with great food.
There will probably be a few growing pains while they settle in to their new place, but be patient. The food is delicious, and 100% worth any minor snags or delays.
Great job, Streetcar, and welcome back!!!

Streetcar Poboys is back in business! And I finally get the hype. Get the namesake Streetcar Poboy, packed with fried catfish, oysters, and shrimp– all carefully and thoroughly breaded in light cornmeal, and fried crisp. They also have versions with boudin, sausage, and just shrimp or catfish.
Sides include Cajun chips, Cajun fries, fried okra, fried pickles, or fried mac and cheese– notice a theme?! Almost everything is fried here, as is true in Louisiana proper. Round out your meal with a massive order of beignets blanketed in powdered sugar.
Service was friendly, things still seem to be run by a large family. I definitely prefer this new location to their old one, and not just because it’s closer to home. Spot is clean and nicely decorated, in a safer and better-​trafficked part of town.
