Original PoBoys will open Friday at Broadway and Alhambra Boulevard, bringing what owner Eric Crawford said will be an “oasis for anyone from New Orleans.” Crawford said the restaurant will offer authentic New Orleans food served in a fast food setting, and everything served – from the signature shrimp po’boy sandwich to the beignets – will be something found on menus throughout New Orleans. “It has that smell you only get in mom-and-pop shops down south, and it has a Mardi Gras ambiance,” h...

I will be there to patronize your business as soon as possible. I will be writing another review as soon as I review your menu and taste your food. See you soon.

I work downtown and live in Elk Grove but I only take 99 on Thursdays so this will be my first stop at least once a week! I'm guessing it'll be worth the drive any day of the week.

How did I not hear of them and they are already closed up for business. Wrong I was! Yeah. You were just not open yet. Great to know. I'll be back soon.

I'll check it out ASAP- hope they can stick with it this time, as after KFC closed Quizno's moved in there but was gone about as soon as the sign went up, then it was "Broadway Wings and Things" which also seemed to have been open for about a day before going under. 8traxrule 2012-01-31T21:18:43Z reggiedavis comment-62980 2012-01-31T21:11:38Z 2012-01-31T21:11:38Z Congratulations Eric! I'm a Nawlins native too. It's good to see some realistic Nawlins fare in the west. I will certainly patronize your business and introduce myself to you. Best of luck going forward. reggiedavis 2012-01-31T21:11:38Z Mindy Giles comment-62958 2012-01-31T19:37:59Z 2012-01-31T19:37:59Z Any parking available besides street parking?

I do hope the name they selected doesn't create confusion, as a long-time NoLa style venue which showcases live music has a similar name. http://poboyzbarandgrill.com/ in Folsom.

If I can go to Flowers (Best fish in Northern Cali), I can certainly get my "grub on" here! hjazzyherm 2012-01-27T17:29:22Z Terre Johnson comment-62800 2012-01-27T15:50:59Z 2012-01-27T15:50:59Z Getting this great new unique business on the gateway of my neighborhood is awesome! When you get your meal here you are going to be engaged by the family of entrepreneurs eager to make this business a success. It's time to put your money where your mouths are!

I work down the street and my grandmother still lives around the way. I been watching to see what the restuarant would become. I will be patronizing "Po' Boys come Friday. Good Luck to the Crawfords.

All the best to this franchise and to the Crawford Clan in making it a success.

The place looked ready to open a month ago...

The breakfast menu is important--this town can use more reasonably priced corner breakfast spots, and they sound very reasonably priced. Such places become magnets for community as well as places to eat! William Burg 2012-01-25T15:26:24Z
