My husband and I discovered this place about 15 years ago. They truly have the best po' boys I have ever eaten. Since then, we have been back many times to New Orleans, and we must always eat there at least once. The shrimp and oyster po' boy are the very best. We are going again in July, and this will be one of the first places we stop.

There is a reason everyone says to go here.... The food was amazing! I would have eaten here every meal if I could. You have to stop here for breakfast or lunch.

The crab po-boy rocks. Gumbo, gotta try it at least once to decide for yourself. Big portions for an okay price.

Pros: they have beer

Cons: nada

I just got back from a fantastic trip to New Orleans! We stumbled upon Johnny's Po-Boys on our last day for lunch- soo good! It's very casual- step up to the counter and order your meal, grab a seat and enjoy! I had one of the po' boys (it was called Judge <blank- can't remember>)- it had ground beef and three types of sausages (italian, andouille, etc.), lettuce, tomatoes, mayo all wrapped in the freshest, softest bread! It was absolutely delicious!! It's cheap, too! My 12-inch po' boy was only $6-7!! I highly recommend this place!!

We found Johnny's the first time we went to NOLA. Since then, we have made it a priority eating place during our visits. One thing we found out was not to go to late because the bread is baked every day. One time we waited until the last day to go there, and the bread was gone. Also, there is a place to sit in the back.

Pros: good food, good prices

Cons: small

We stopped in on a Sunday morning about 9 a.m. No crowd, no wait, just low prices and terrific eggs and hasbrowns (yum!). Good coffee, laid-back deli-style atmoshpere (you have to ask for it if you want it), and great prices. It was our last morning in town, and the wallet wasn't quite as heavy as when we first got there, if you know what I mean. Can cure a hang-over if that's what you need.

Johnny's is the one place that I make sure to eat at when I visit NOLA. The po' boys are the best. Get there before the lunch crowd or you'll be waiting for a seat.

Don't miss Johnny's. They will make a po-boy out of just about anything you could want. The shrimp is my fav, over flowing with shrimp, the gumbo is best I have ever had and the crab cakes are wonderful. The shrimp creole is lusious. We LOVE this place.

Pros: fast service, great food, cheap eats
