  I used to go here a lot when I lived nearby, but this is still one is still my favorite Poboy Express Portion sizes are huge and the food tastes awesome. Catfish, shrimp, and oyster boy boys sooo good here.

  I know this place is a chain, though I think it's only a local one (Baton Rouge and maybe a couple of surrounding towns), and I'm not the biggest fan of chains but until someone proves otherwise, Po-Boy Express has the best po-boys in B.R. The bread, although slightly pressed, is stupendous. Soft, which is how your po-boy bread (French loaf) should be. Hard, tough, chewy, too crispy.....all of those are cardinal sins and in that regard, Po-Boy Express is sinless.
  
  The second, and equally as important, part of a po-boy is the "insides".......the meat and vegetables. Well, my favorite po-boy has always been the shrimp and Po-Boy Express does this justice and much more. The shrimp are tasty enough to eat by themselves. Seriously. You could take 'em all off the sandwich, act as if you bought a shrimp platter and be completely satisfied. And they PILE dem thangs on there like it ain't nobody's business. One of the marks of an outstanding po-boy is an abundance of meat and this place excels in that department. Shrimp were BUSTING out the sides of mine. My hot sausage po-boy had a nice amount of meat as well.
  
  The lettuce.....the tomato.......everything about my po-boys made me miss home as soon as I hit the interstate to head back to FL. They were so good, I had to get another right before leaving. If someone in Baton Rouge knows of a joint that serves better po-boys, let me know. Until then, I'll have to keep singing the praises of Po-Boy Express.

  I love po' boys, so whenever I come to Baton Rouge, it's the first food I eat. Out here visiting family, and my cousin recommended Po' boy Express. I ordered a shrimp po' boys with fried pickles. I dont know, but the po' boy was just ok. They're not stingy with the shrimp, which is a good thing, but I felt it lacked flavor. Now the fried pickles, those were pretty darn good.

  I loved PO BOY express for quite some years now. started with visits to B.R and going  to the Florida Blvd location for shrimp poboy and meat pies... ooh meat pies!! About those meat pies well, they still have the same spice and great flavor but they've Shrunk  ... well they are no longer 1 regular sized meat pie instead it's 3 extremely miniature pies, so I was a bit sadden with the order.
  
  Everything else was great, even managed to please my picky mom she enjoyed her Oyster poboy!!
  
  Minus a star because of my disappointment with the meat pie change and OMG the grease on the onion rings WHY??!!! I swear please do not order them you will not be pleased, unless you enjoy Grease no seriously Grease totally too much grease I have no idea how or why they are so Greasy. We had to throw them out the bag was saturated and eating it taste like flavored Grease no seriously Grease I am so disappointed in the Grease level on the onion rings I will definitely ask about this on my next visit... I never experienced this before when I visited years ago at the other location and I recall visiting  this location and don't recall this level of grease on the onion rings.
  
  You should visit because minus the bad onion rings:
  Great foods are:
  -Meat Pies
  -Shrimp PO Boy
  -Hamburger Poboy
  -Oyster Poboy
  -Combo basket
  -Chicken Tenders
  -Kids Shrimp
  -Fries
  -Salad

  After reading reviews I had to try the shrimp po boy! I don't think there was a whole lot of seasoning or unique flavors but the shrimp was very fresh and the veggies were crisp. Bring your appetite because it's hard to finish a small order.. I couldn't.
  
  The staff was very friendly and polite. I went in when they were closing and they were cleaning the entire time, smelt very fresh (like bleach and fabuloso). Prices were average and food was tasty. Can't ask for much more.
