This fine hole-in-the-wall is our lunch place of choice in NO. Be forewarned, the po'boys are huge. Knowing this, we opted for a half sandwich and cup of gumbo special--big mistake! The gumbo is watery and thin on protein ingredients--we downed a spoonful each and ditched the rest. Despite that glitch, Johnny's delivers on the rest of its menu, and... more

It closes at 3pm, only takes cash and is about the size of a walk-in closet, but the line still snakes out the door. Had some seafood gumbo and a fantastic muffaletta. Salivated over the shrimp po-boys, which looked phenomenal. Caught up with one of the workers outside the shop and he gave us a clue as to what went... more

Roast Beef Po-Boy was delicious. Don't let the long lineup scare you..service is fast and friendly and food is definately worth the wait. more

Half of the people preparing food wears gloves. One who wasn't wearing gloves wiped his nose and proceeded to touch food without washing out. As if that weren't bad enough, there was a RAT in the back room near the bathrooms where people eat! We told the manager and he casually said, "Thanks for letting me know." - as if... more

We had wonderful breakfast of Biscuits with chicken fried steak and gravy and bacon... more

As I was looking up this restaurant to write a review the words that kept coming to mind were "overhyped" and "tourist trap" so again - ditto on the last review. While they at least got our order right, it was the worst meal we had the entire week we were in Louisiana. The shrimp po-boy was subpar at best,... more

We stayed in New Orleans for two nights in summer 2009 on our way crossing the US. We've only heard good things about Johnny's Po'Boys. After a bad restaurant in New Orleans the other night (Embers) we looked forward...and what a let-down again!! First, there is a HUGE line around lunch time.... but we knew that...we can handle it. But... more
