Mr Po-Boy

If you're looking for an authentic, unforgettable taste of Louisiana, look no further than Mr. Po-Boy Restaurant. Located at 860 Grand Caillou Rd, Houma, LA 70363, this beloved eatery serves up a delightful selection of po-boys, seafood, and classic Cajun dishes that will have your taste buds dancing. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Mr. Po-Boy is the perfect spot for a casual yet flavorful meal.

A Local Favorite with a Personal Touch

One of the first things that sets Mr. Po-Boy apart is the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere. Stepping inside, you’ll immediately feel at home with the cozy, down-to-earth vibe that’s so characteristic of Houma’s best eateries. The staff is friendly and eager to offer recommendations, especially if you're new to the area or unfamiliar with Louisiana cuisine. If you're lucky, you might even strike up a conversation with the owner, who is known for personally ensuring that every guest leaves with a smile.

But it's not just the ambiance that draws in the crowd—it's the food! Mr. Po-Boy has perfected the art of crafting po-boy sandwiches, the iconic Louisiana dish that’s both a snack and a full meal. From the crispy shrimp po-boy to the rich roast beef version, each sandwich is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and served on perfectly toasted bread.

The Po-Boy Experience

When it comes to po-boys, the choice of fillings is endless. At Mr. Po-Boy, you can choose from a variety of proteins, including shrimp, oysters, fried chicken, and even catfish. The crispy shrimp po-boy is a fan favorite, with plump, juicy shrimp fried to golden perfection and layered with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a special remoulade sauce that packs just the right amount of tang.

If you’re craving something more hearty, the roast beef po-boy is another must-try. Tender roast beef drenched in a savory gravy is piled high on the sandwich, and every bite feels like a comforting hug. Pair it with a side of crispy fries or coleslaw, and you’ve got yourself a meal that’s truly Louisiana through and through.

For those with a larger appetite, consider the seafood platters or combination po-boys, where you can get a mix of shrimp, oysters, and fish served in generous portions. If you’re not in the mood for a sandwich, the seafood gumbo is a hearty option, brimming with shrimp, sausage, and okra in a rich, flavorful broth.

Fresh Ingredients, Louisiana Flavors

What really stands out about Mr. Po-Boy is its commitment to fresh ingredients. The seafood is sourced locally, ensuring that every dish is as fresh as it gets. This is particularly evident in the fried shrimp po-boy, where the shrimp practically melt in your mouth, paired with a crispy yet light batter that doesn’t overpower the delicate seafood flavor.

The remoulade sauce that accompanies many of the sandwiches and platters deserves a mention too—it’s a tangy, creamy dressing that adds a burst of flavor without overshadowing the star of the dish. Many locals say it’s the perfect balance of zest and richness, and it’s a great complement to the fried goodness of the po-boys.

Great for Every Occasion

Whether you're dining solo, grabbing a quick bite with friends, or bringing the family together for a meal, Mr. Po-Boy is an excellent choice. The portions are generous, so it’s great for sharing, and the menu has something for everyone, from meat lovers to seafood fans. Plus, the casual and inviting atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a laid-back meal.

Planning a special event or gathering? Consider catering from Mr. Po-Boy. With its expansive menu of po-boys, platters, and sides, the restaurant can easily accommodate large groups. Whether you're hosting a birthday party, a work event, or a casual family reunion, Mr. Po-Boy will bring the flavors of Louisiana to your table.

OMG!!! So very delicious at a great price We shared an 11" poboy (half shrimp/half soft-shelled crab) with gravy fries and two fountain drinks. Came to $22.50 with tax included!

I always make a conscious effort to stop by here whenever I'm down south to get the shrimp Poboy dressed with extra mayo. 10/10
