guy's po-boys

yummy!. had lunch there on saturday. had a great grilled shrimp po boy. cash only.

best in the area. best poboys in uptown. cash only!!!!! they really pack on the shrimp on their shrimp poboy. order the small as i don't see a big difference between the small/large.

yum!. lots of po-boy places around town. not only is this close to me, but it's consistently great.

my favorite place for a po-boy! everything is amazing but “the bomb” is the best! grilled shrimp, grilled catfish, cheese and special sauce...whew, making me hungry!

this & parkway are my two favorites for poboys in nola. so if you're in the uptown area, this is the "go-to" place for poboys as far as i'm concerned.

the best roast beef ( sloppy) poor boy in town!!! perfect!!
the gravy cheese fries are to die for- cheesy & covered in debris gravy( almost a meal in itself.

best po boy ever. just ate here for the first time & am so glad i did. i had the roast beef po boy and it was the best !! also a side order of dirty rice which was amazing as well. the place is very small but don't let that fool you because the food is big:);) i give it an a+

an all time great. the experience is always good, and the grilled shrimp is unbeatable. the roast beef po-boy is also one of the most flavorful for for the variety that has slices as well as debris. these are some of the most carefully made po-boys i've ever found.

the bomb po boy (dish review). the bomb --- guy's signature special is a jaw dropping creation titled "the bomb". it is just that and so much more; a roll filled with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried shrimp, fresh shrimp, and alligator sausage. every ingredient works well together, particularly the gooey cheese and delicious gator. vegetables add the slight fresh flavor otherwise missing in the foot of cheese and bread. though the shrimp is underwhelming (as mentioned in the overall review), it barely detracts from the quality of this creation. i have dreams about this sandwich.

guy's (po-boys/cajun). right off the bat i'm just going to say it: this is a hard review to write. guy's, arguably the best po-boy stop in the city that gave birth to po-boys, has infinite upsides and one major detractor. for starters, the menu is great; options abound, including gator, shrimp, beef, and sausage. though the restaurant accepts cash only, the prices are low enough to make paying with cash reasonable. the location itself is downright charming, a lovable cross between a hole in the wall exterior and an sf-style trendy interior. parking isn't fun, but the smile that greets you when you walk in the door eradicates any hard feelings. positives extend to the food; fresh meats, perfect fries, and amazing bread grace every order. unfortunately, in the middle of all the excellence, a sore thumb - nasty shrimp - sticks out. the harsh, pungent flavor of iodine overwhelms part of the sandwich. when picked out, the po boy is amazing, but when left in, it is inedible. that said, guy's still receives high marks for doing absolutely everything else right. next time (and i truly hope there will be a next time) just make sure the seafood is of a quality you want to serve to customers.

rating: 7.8/10

great food, great service. stopped in while in town at straight-up noon. it was busy, but the service was very polite and quick enough.

shrimp poboy was great. roast beef poboy was great. fries were perfect.

seek this place out. go eat!

go now. go right now.. good god this place has excellent poboys. i just wish they were open later. and in my neighborhood...and everything was free...and they carried you on piggyback while in the restaurant...and they liked you on facebook. but in the absence of those things, it's still wicked good.

best roast beef poboy!!!. my husband and i are new to the area. we have tried several restaurants in hopes of finding one that serves up a delicious roast beef poboy. well now can say our search is over. yesterday 2/21/2014,after finding guy's on the internet and reading reviews we decided to give a try. omg!!!! that was the best roast beef poboy had in a long time. good portion of meat,dressed perfect lettuce and tomato with lots of gravy. (have lots of napkins handy. :) delicious!!!!
try guy's will be happy you did. we surely are,for this will be our choice when craving for roast beef poboy.
by the way we also got a regular shrimp poboy. great!! loaded with shrimp so so good. loved it!!!!
thanks guy will be back soon.

there are tons of spots around the city that serve up a great fried shrimp po boy, but guy’s is consistently delicious, and very affordably priced for the quality ingredients used.

great guy's po-boys and service!. i emailed this into smiley anders, the advocate: today at 10:33 am smiley, yesterday when i was in n'awlins, i got to check out a poboy shop that jamie, a colleague, had told me about: guy's poboys ( http://menuorleans.com/guys-po-boy) -on magazine between bellecastle and valmont - close to my old high school (de la salle). while i was unable to get my beloved fried oyster poboy there, i decided to try one of their special's for the day: alligator poboy, which was only $ 9.95 for large (foot long)! when i went to pay by credit, i was told that they only take cash there. since i only had two $ 5's and a little change, i told the check out guy that i'd downsize to the 1/2 foot for about $ 7.50, at which he took a $ 1 dollar bill out of the tip jar and said, "no problem, us 'guys's' got you covered!" he even gave me the change, which i, of course, put into the tip jar! what a delight it was later to chomp into that fully dressed alligator sausage poboy at an audubon park shelter adjacent to the lagoon nearby - right off of st. charles avenue and in view of my old alma mater, loyola university, and getting to enjoy the view and sounds of some streetcars that strolled by! i'm definitedly gonna send a belated real tip to that guy at guy's and want to spread the word out to others about another great "naturally n'alins" place, as the late and beloved frank davis always noted; may he rest in peace - i'm sure god has him in charge of communication, cooking, fishing, etc! keith john paul horcasitas, lcsw, mha

i am lucky to live across the street from this restaurant. they have great po-boys that are overstuffed and way to much to eat in one sitting. i get the small po-boys for lunch and always have enough left over for dinner that night. the daily lunches are also awesome and large portions. just remember that it's cash only!
