Really good shrimp poboy and roast beef poboy Driving at lunch I challenging bc of the parking and seating.
Absolutely my favorite place for a roast beef po boy. It practically melts in your mouth. They sell it by the gallon which is great for parties. My go to place and everyone I go with loves it. Great onion rings also. Great service and convenient location
Great old school sandwich shop with an old school bar next door to match. Best beef PoBoy I've ever had...actually one of the better sandwiches I've ever had of any kind!
I really don't have any complaints about the sandwich itself because it's a good, authentic po boy! I got a fully dressed shrimp po boy. I ordered take out on a week day during lunch time and it was pretty busy. I stayed on the phone waiting for them to get my order for like 5 minutes. The parking is annoying and gets busy, but they do have parking under the bridge. The service was nice, but it's in a small little shop. I wouldn't try going there with more than 5 people. Overall, good po boy!
On my most recent trip to New Orleans, I wasn't necessarily in search of the best Poboy, but I just so happened to find it. Over the duration of nine days, I believe I ate six Poboys, with two of them being from Bear's. When it comes to a Poboy, it is all about the bread. And whatever bread they are using at Bear's is absolute perfection. It is soft enough to soak up all of the wonderful juices from the Poboy sandwich, but sturdy enough to not fall apart in your hands. I absolutely loved the two roast beef Poboys that I had from Bear's. The roast beef is sliced perfectly, and so tender and juicy. There's really nothing more I can say other than do yourself a favor and come get a Poboy from Bear's. Don't forget to order some onion rings while you're at it!
Known for their Roast beef po-boy and that is exactly what I ordered. A regular (half) dressed roast beef and I added cheese. My bf ordered the shrimp poboy, both of them were really good. The roast beef was tender and juicy. Service and atmosphere was great. They use Leidenheimer's French bread. I highly recommend the roast beef poboy.
THE BEST ROAST BEEF POBOY IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA. Boom. There I said it. That is worth 5 stars by itself. Atmosphere is casual/divey. Go ahead and keep your hat on while you eat, no one's going to judge. My go-to order is the Ferdie, which is a ham and roast beef poboy with Swiss cheese. Yum! I always get mine dressed no tomato. As far as the service goes, ALL FOOD IS MADE TO ORDER because that's how they do things. That means when they are busy you might have to wait 30-40 min for you food. Just buckle up and sit tight and don't even THINK about complaining because you're about to have some of the best food of your life. The quality is worth the wait. I promise.
