Description:
What is a po-boy? If you have to ask, you need to get one! A po-boy is the traditional sandwich of New Orleans. Made on French bread and usually stuffed with fried shrimp, oysters, or juicy roast beef, po-boys are big, messy, and delicious. Order your po-boy “dressed,” and it will come with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise. Ignatius and Parasol’s are known for their roast beef po-boys, Casamento’s and Acme Oyster House serve the best oyster po-boys, and Deanie’s and Liuzza’s have great shrimp po-boys. There are also many other varieties of New Orleans po-boys, including catfish, soft-shell crab, and, for the adventurous, the French fry po-boy served with roast beef gravy.

Description:
Take a short bus ride down Esplanade Avenue and discover this cafe near the racetrack. Locals have been keeping this favorite haunt a secret for far too long. The no frills appearance offers a Mardi Gras decor, with memorabilia that is never taken down. The kitchen here quite possibly serves the best gumbo in town. You may follow that with fried shrimp, catfish or a platter of oysters. The homemade salad dressings are also delicious.

Description:
A bakery by default is Parkway's claim to fame, and that is not all that New Orleanites will tell you. The owner, Jay Nix, did not want the Parkway bakery to stay just a fading memory in the customers' minds; hence this tavern was resurrected on Hagan Avenue. The museum-styled interiors only add to its charm. On the cards are roast beef, oyster fry and hot sausages, which are demanded incessantly. And for the saccharine tooth, Hubig's pies are in constant supply.

Description:
New Orleans is home to world famous, first-class restaurants. But the locals know some of the best food can be found at little neighborhood places. The casual, old New Orleans neighborhood feeling of Ignatius Eatery & Grocery is unmistakable. The Crawfish, Corn and Potato Soup serve up all of the flavors of a crawfish boil in one bowl and the Roast Beef Po' Boy is arguably one of the best in New Orleans. A delectable brunch menu combines breakfast favorites with New Orleans traditions to create tasty treats like Jambalaya and Crawfish Etouffe Omelets. Check the chalk board on the sidewalk for a daily special that has been known to feature dishes like a Sautéed Shrimp Remoulade Po' Boy or Boudin Meatloaf.

Description:
"Good food" and "cheap" are words that foodies in New Orleans love to find all under one roof. The lines here are a true testament to the food, if not to the great prices. The lines really are long- sometimes out the door. So if you're going and it's cool, wear a coat.Things like atmosphere and decor would only increase the overhead expense so they are not relevant here. Pictures of numerous famous patrons line the plain walls; but no one comes for the scenery. It's all about the food, especially the overstuffed po-boys. Also available here some of the best breakfasts in the Crescent City.

Description:
This Garden District restaurant takes their oysters so seriously that they close down when the little mollusks are not in season. This place is small and sparse, but the atmosphere benefits from good-natured waitresses who serve up fun with the food. The house specialty is scrubbed clean and well selected. Another delicacy is the oyster loaf, a big loaf of bread fried in butter and filled with oysters or shrimp and fried again to seal it. They also serve a gumbo that is quite possibly the best in town.

Description:
This timeless New Orleans establishment has been popular since the management first opened its doors in 1910. Located just off Boubon Street, the seafood house offers its own twist on New Orleans cuisine in a noisy, casual atmosphere. The food is not to be missed. The popular neon sign beckons locals and tourists to the trademark oysters at unbeatably low prices. If oysters do not tempt your taste buds, try the restaurant's famous Poopas, a French bread bowl filled with sausage and shrimp gumbo or red beans and rice with sausage on the side.
