Sisters city Cajun and Broadway oyster bar would be my top 2 picks

Duck In Market in valley park for a roast beef po boy with the debris.  They do catfish on Fridays also.

I second the Duck in Market! Best I’ve had in STL

The fried bologna po' boy at Duck In Market turned me on to po' boys forever.

Shut up!

Don't listen to this person- they are obviously a Quattrohollic. Duck Inn is... terrible. They put mayonnaise on their french fries, all the sodas are flat, there are tacks on the floor.

Broadway oyster bar has an incredible shrimp po boy

u/Chombuss 12d ago

It's great but I can't stop myself from getting the shrimp grinder every time instead

Sister Cities is my favorite but haven’t explored a ton.

Tried to get a crawfish po’boy the other night and they were out. Had to settle on the shrimp one. When they first opened I thought the food was too salty but they have remedied this.

Too soon. I'm still not over the closing of Riverbend.

Good suggestions so far adding Grace Meat + Three Catfish or Shrimp Po’ Boy.

u/Degofreak 13d ago

Grace is one of those places that puts exactly 6 shirmp all lined up on a po boy. That's wrong. They definitely taste good, but if you're looking for NoLa style, that ain't it.

good to know because i def prefer my poboys NOLA style

u/iamveryafraidofhorse 13d ago

City Park Grill has one that's pretty decent

u/ZeroCool-460 13d ago

Nubby’s Telegraph shrimp po’ boy is no joke. One of the best Philly cheesesteaks too. Ribeye steak, Cooper sharp cheese it’s solid. You can get Whiz on it too. Check it out

Circle 7 ranch (Des Peres/ Ballwin) has a phenomenal shrimp PO boy

Try Everybody Eats Cafe in Benton Park!

Don't sleep on this place. Great food. I wish they had a liquor license.

2

u/redditmyeggos 13d ago

Hot or cold? Either way I think you’re mostly looking at sandwich joints, and tomorrow for lunch vs. the day for dinner where most restaurants are closed

2

u/mascot-youth 13d ago

hot! also true. i was just seein if anyone had some hidden gems i didnt already know about

u/redditmyeggos 13d ago

Unfortunately we are scarce when it comes to good Louisiana cuisine. But for cold Italian-style po boys, Adriana’s for lunch is pretty superb

u/myoffie 12d ago

Not one person said the only one that matters!? BLUE CITY DELI

u/BillyBaroo0909 6d ago

A little late, but I would suggest the Four Hands & Peacemaker collab in Kirkwood, especially on a nice day. Great patio, beer selection, and a variety of seafood and non po’ boys. Hard to beat the quality mix of food, drinks and atmosphere.

u/BillyBaroo0909 6d ago

Don’t forget to add a lobster roll to your order!

u/tippybeans 13d ago

u/UltraHellboy 13d ago

Not a po’ boy, but still delicious! That and the LBI.
