I stumbled upon this place walking around the French Qtr and I am glad I did! It is cash only and quite "divey" but delicious. You walk up to the counter and order your food. I had the shrimp po-boy and side of fries. It was PERFECT! On fresh bread, crispy fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, & crispy fries. Nothing soggy or oily. The sandwich was gigantic and I have a hearty appetite. I couldn't even finish it, so gave it to a homeless man on the street. I'd highly recommend a po-boy from here! I only wish I was in NoLa longer to have tried some of the other choices.

We ate lunch and breakfast here. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. You walk up to the counter and order your food and find your own seat at a small table. No frills, but yummy food. Get the roast beef po’ boy and lots of napkins to wipe the gravy drippings off your chin...yummy!!!

Johnny's serves great food anytime. My wife and I visited Johnny's for both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast platters offered great variety and large portions. For lunch, I had the alligator sausage Po-Boy while my wife had the chicken salad Po-Boy, both were delicious.

My husband and I shared the chicken tenders meal. It was enough for the two of us to share. It came with several tenders, fries, bread, and a small shredded lettuce salad with tomato and pickle. I made a chicken sandwich out of the bread, a tender, and the salad. The food took a little while, but it was worth it for the price compared to all the expensive places around.

We wanted a Po-Boy before we left town and many of the spots that came up were not within walking distance so we decided to try Johnny’s we’d been by it several times. I’m so glad we went, the combo meals are a great price and I was stuffed. The roast beef po-boy was really good and so were the red beans and rice! My kids enjoyed the grilled cheese so it was a bonus to find something everyone was happy about!! We went at an off time so the line wasn’t long at all, but it is cash only!

It says vegetarian friendly, but it is only in the most basic way. In other words, they are not going out of their way to make a unique veggie Po' Boy or anything or to make vegetarians welcome. The Veggie Po' Boy was basically olive spread, with lettuce, tomato, pickle and cheese on average bread. It was sizable, but nothing you couldn't get at Subway for less and nothing to write home about. Plus, I asked for it hot and got it cold.

This is supposedly one of the best places in NOLA for po’boys, and they did not disappoint! A long line inside the door, but it moved relatively quickly up to the counter, staffed by such an accommodating person. Chose one shrimp and one catfish special with a cup of seafood gumbo. Everything was absolutely excellent! Great filling on a great bun, and the gumbo was just right. Perfect lunch.

We enjoyed our fried shrimp po'boys at Johnny's. Sandwich was huge and really tasty although it's said that it's the bread that makes the Po'Boy and I thought the french bread here could have been fresher. Cash only.

It was so worth the wait! The food was authentic and delicious, the staff was so friendly, and it was overall a great experience. Unlike other restaurants in New Orleans, it is not on a busy street, and they have indoor and outdoor seating (in a courtyard, not on the sidewalk). It was a bustling place, and loud due to all the happy customers!
We got po' boys, jambalaya, and gumbo. They all were fantastic!!

We came early around 1145 and there was not a wait. Johnny's special was good just made the bread soggy, others enjoyed the catfish po' boy and breakfast. Classic stop in the french quarter.

As opposed to many of the restaurants we visited in New Orleans, Johnny's had all of their food in stock. The food was delicious, but we did wait quite a while for our food. Like many restaurants in the area, their were heavily impacted by the pandemic. My biggest negative is that the restaurant was packed and no one was wearing masks. It did not appear that anyone was following COVID protocol. That aside, I would highly recommend Johnny's.

My husband and I had the crab po boys Okay but nothing special. Others at our table commented grits were tasteless and fried green tomatoes all batter. Wish we’d gone elsewhere

This is a very New Orleans po boy experience, so a decent stop to try the local signature sandwich. Holding back the rating is that there was too much bread in the roll and too much breading on the seafood. It just tasted like lots of starch, which is why I doused mine in hot sauce.

I debated giving this 3 or 4 stars. I have been in Memphis and New Orleans for 5 days and now had 3 Po Boys and the ones at Jonny’s are the best I have had. I though keep trying them as a local dish and honestly I still do not get them. Are they a nice sandwich? Yes! Does that justify the 15+ dollars price tags? No! I have decided I must be missing something but I m unlikely to try any more. What I would say though is the Alligator Sausage is beautifully seasoned and really good, so if you are coming to this place definitely get some sausage.

French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.
