If you order a 12 inch, it’s the same size as a 6 inch. There was literally no difference between the 2 except the price. Also, the fries are very soggy and if they spill on the counter they pick them up with their bare hands and scoop them back onto your plate. The most bland poboy in all of New Orleans and doesn’t even come fully dressed.

Bartender was great but the fish sandwich was damn near inedible. Fish was the consistency of old chicken.

Best Oyster Poboys! Always fresh tasting. A hidden find in plain sight as most people are attracted to the music clubs across the street and don't notice this innocuous hole in the wall. Really good sandwiches and consistent quality.

My dad and I stopped by this place last night looking for a late night bite. Even though the kitchen had run out of many menu items (it was 9:30 on a Sunday night), our bartender Martin was very helpful, funny, and great company. We settled on the Hot Sausage Po Boy, and it was delicious! Mild heat, LOTS of flavor! Thank you Martin and 13 on Frenchmen!

Worst place down town New Orleans. Expensive with poor food and service.

I don't like to write a negative review, but ... we are both still suffering from yesterday's meal. I've never had heartburn before; but if you have and you liked it - well then you should eat here!! The flavor of the food was great but I have no clue how they managed to make me feel like I consumed liquid Drain-o. Ugh. My stomach was burning all night - it kept me awake for hours. I should have known something was up when literally half of the menu options had a black line through them saying "unavailable." I guess I should be grateful they didn't have any oysters! My only reason for posting this review is in the hopes I save someone else from the experience I had. There are so many great places to eat in NOLA - eat there, not here.

A highlight of our trip thanks to our bartender Kena and the line cooks. Everyone was friendly, fun to talk to and the drinks were great! Kena Sunrise should be a feature drink for sure!

Best server! There was about 14 by the end of the meal. She was absolutely the funnest person! Most of us are sober so it wasn’t bc we were even drunk. She was on top of everything! Everyone at the table raved about her as much as our food. It was the best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever eaten! Server is front center in the photo!

Super clean, super cool atmosphere. The bartender (owner?) is really nice and very attentive! Next time we’rein NOLA, this will be our first stop.

Sent to management four days ago and they felt no need to respond. Note: It seems 13 on Frenchmen (added to business name: NOLA Poboys & bar) was bought in part or total by Brian Mullin. The establishment I am refering to is 517 Frenchmen.I am taking this opportunity to convey to you the absolutely horrible experience my husband and I had at 13 last night (Thursday October 26th). I had considered posting a public review online but I think that a private email might be more beneficial to your restaurant.We arrived at 13 at approximately 5:45 PM. It was fairly empty. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Pinot Grigio and my husband ordered a beer. The "manager" (older, white hair man) told me he had "just given all of his white wine to Bamboola's so if I wanted a glass of white wine I had to go across the street". I'm not sure why a "manager" would give ALL of their available white wine to another bar, across the street, which doesn't make much sense in itself, but then to tell a customer to leave and go across the street if they wanted wine is even more perplexing. I opted for water.We ordered our dinner at about 6 PM. I ordered an eggplant po-boy. My husband ordered chicken wings well done. My food arrived at 6:30. It had a side of blue cheese and hot wing sauce on the side, which typically comes with wings. This raised a red flag. I asked the waitress the status of my husband's dinner. She snapped: you ordered them (wings) extra crispy so it takes longer! I didn't want to eat in front of my husband, but I also didn't want to eat a cold eggplant po-boy, so I ate. At 6:40 (40 minutes after placing the order) I called the waitress over and asked her to back out the wings from our tab because we had tickets to a 7:00 PM show and we weren't going to have time to stay. She turned around, went to the kitchen and suddenly, the wings appeared! They were barely cooked. The chicken skin was still white and they were not even tossed in wing sauce. Obviously, the order was lost, misplaced, and/or forgotten. There was no follow up by the bartender (she was too busy talking to a couple of people at the opposite end of the bar) despite asking about the order a couple of times.The time is now 6:45 PM and we asked the bartender to take the undercooked wings back and remove the charge from our tab. She got an attitude and said she didn't know how to do that. Out comes the "manager" and he too said it's a new system and he isn't sure how to credit the credit card. This task seems like a routine transaction so there is obviously a total lack of training or the "manager" just didn't want to deal with it. My husband watched the "manager" fumble for a few minutes and then out of frustration said: the wings were $13 the beer I ordered (after we had paid the tab) was $5.00-$6.00 so just give me $7.00. The "manager" replied I have to figure out how to open the register. Again, a routine transaction that the "manager" couldn't perform. Finally, he got the register open and handed my husband a $10.00 bill.No apologies for the terrible service or entire experience.We had been to 13 a couple of times before and had good service and food. Then we noticed it closed. When we were eating at the Junction a few weeks ago, the bartender told us it was being re-opened by the same owners as the Junction and Molly's. We decided to try the newly opened 13 since we like both the Junction and Molly's. If this is true, (same owners of Junction and Molly's) I am surprised. What a disappointment. We will not be going back.

Sign said they open at 11 got there at 1220 walked in and an old guy in a Rastafarian blouse barked at us that they were not open yet with people sitting at the bar ??‍♂️. This use to be a good place to hangout but the name has slightly changed, maybe the ownership did too. Ended up going next door with another group of people that he told they were closed too. Menu looked ok if you can get inside
