One night in Huntsville with so many restaurant offerings, and so glad this was the winner! Hit it just right with no wait. Staff friendly and helpful, and the food was outstanding! I prefer great food and service to atmosphere, but this place had it all. Don't miss this gem!

I thought the food was okay. But it was a little distracting by the big cockroach sitting on the ceiling. I wasn't able to really focus on my food too much. I felt like they didn't give our group very much attention either. The service was not good for us.

We came to Huntsville for a hockey tournament. We decided to try The Po Boy Factory after checking TA's reviews. Turned out to be a great idea! We had the Shrimp and Crawfish Dip which comes with French bread as an appetizer and 2 Po Boys, one crawfish and the other oyster. Both were fantastic! Service is great and the... More

The Po Bo Factory has not yet been showcased in an episode of "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", but it ought to be. My wife and I met an old friend on mine at the Po Bo Factory for dinner. We are from out of town and they suggested the spot. As we were parking I was saying "Oh no" to... More

.....just meaning "not fancy". Just casual and fun. Plus the food is delicious and the service is good and the price is right. I particularly enjoy the grilled grouper there. My favorite seafood place in Huntville.

Craving Cajun? Everyday feels like Mardi Gras at The Po Boy Factory in Huntsville. Located a few blocks north of historic Five Points, the restaurant features Louisiana favorites like spicy shrimp and crawfish etouffee, gumbo, red beans and rice, crab cakes, and jambalaya. Lots of po boy variations to choose from like shrimp, oyster, and Caribbean jerk chicken; as well... More

Po Boy Factory is a local favorite for us. Highly recommend the gumbo. There is a special price when ordering 2 bowls. The Hot Damn sauce is the bomb!

nobody is saying anything negative about this restaurant, That is because all of the reviewers, now including myself, loved everything about the place. I am glad I was able to convince the group I was with to go here. We showed up at dinner rush and still had a very short delay to get a table for 4. GO!

I have been coming to Huntsville for many years and just now discovered the Five Points area. The Po Boy Factory restaurant was a real find. Food was excellent, hot and made me begging for more. Even on a Tuesday night, the place had lines out the door. Service was great and our waitress always checked on us for beer... More

Po Boy Factory is not a fancy restaurant but is one you don't want to miss. I had the oyster po boy with red beans and rice. It was the best po boy sandwich I have ever ate. Don't expect a fine dining experience but expect excellent food with a down home feel environment.
