Buddy’s Po Boys

First time coming here while in town. My friends brought us so we had a few different things. The shrimp oyster po boy was awesome, fried chicken is a must here. Great seasoning and not over fried. The cheeseburger needs a better bun — french bread was too hard for it. Over all really great place and we will be back

This place as been sold several times, went there today was craving a burger poboy walked in read the menu placed my order and was advised that they had no ground meat, so I left on search for a burger.

New owner as of June 2013. I used to go this place with my mom when I was a kid. That was back in 1980 somthing. New owner says he’s the 5^th person to own this place. It’s Monday so naturally I had the red beans which came with lettuce and tomatoes with a packet of italian dressing, french bread, and I decided to go with «pork chop» option. I was not totally disappointed but I wasn’t impressed either. I guess I’ll never forgot what this place used to be back in the day. However I will give Buddy’s a second shot. I think the poboys may be better and may have more of a bang for the buck as the poboys are less expensive than the ten bucks I paid for today’s lunch. I hope I’m correct. I will say the latest owner is very friendly, kinda cute too :) and the little place is really sparkly clean. That’s always a plus! I think I’ll stick with my «mama’s» red beans. Lesson learned! Sorry Mom :)

Buddy’s has been my favorite poboy place since i was young and it was a treat brought home by my dad if he went across the lake.
You have to love the roast beef, it’s the perfect juicy but crispy poboy I could imagine. You also have to respect the owner and his Fugitive Recovery Agent/​Purple Heart/​Vietnam paperwork hanging up inside.

This is a great little lunch place which is a little hard to find. It does not front on Vets but rather on Orion just across the street from the side driveway to the Walgreens. The plate lunch portions here are generous and the po– boys as well. The fried seafood po-​boys are the best. But what I get here mostly is the fried chicken which is well above average. It is a little lacking in spice, but it is cooked to order and nice and crunchy. You should call ahead and order because it takes a good 30 minutes to prepare. They have good fries, but the best side is the potato salad. It’s one of the best in town. The place is very tiny, so you might have to take your lunch to go, but you can usually find a seat.

This is a total dive located in a shack off of Veteren’s right behind Jigger’s Grill in Metry. The ambiance here seems more 1970’s style than anything else I could pin on it. They have decent po boys, hamburgers, sandwiches, plate lunches and they offer fried chicken. They offer a «chicken loaf» which is half of a bone in chicken fried and served on top of two halves of garlic buttered French bread. They have some good seafood gumbo and some daily specials that are ok. The roast beef po boy is alright but could be better if it had more gravy. They have a few indoor seats and very limited outdoor seating. Most folks just pick up to go orders here. About the only issue I have with this place is they don’t brew their own iced tea and rely on fountain «tea» which never tastes right.

Good poboys good prices

One of NOLa’s best, local sandwich spots right off of Veterans. I recommend the shrimp poboy to go.
