What an awesome gem that we found on the way to the Jazz Fest. Located in Mid-City, the building and the restaurant has been around for a long time. We arrived at 10:30am and had a yummy roast beef & gravy po boy on the best bread I have ever had on a sandwich!! The venue is set up for community and it was clear that all are welcome. Even in the morning, the staff was friendly and inviting and the locals and tourists were coming by for great food, drinks, and a good time.

Quintessential New Orleans Experience. Best poboy in town. Do not pass an opportunity to eat here. Had a James Brown which is BBQ Shrimp and roast beef with debris. This place is the reason I have gained 100 lbs in 3 years living here. Soo good.

My order got lost and took 45 minutes so this review may be biased. The poorboy was decent, but not worth the wait or a detour. Staff was very pleasant after realizing the problem.

Pretty solid poboy. The bread is what does it for me. This place had great bread. I would assume it is baked in-house. It had the flare of French baguette but only the kind of Louisiana French you can get. The oyster and shrimp were delicious.

Nice tourist trap. I had the oyster po boy with extra shells because every bite had shells included. Whoever is shucking those oysters is shucking and jiving because another person in my party had shells included too. I heard tge gravy fries were good but I didn't order that.

We ordered about 20 poor boys for an event. Eileen was a pleasure working with. She even called me to follow up. A+ service! They also have the takeout system down! Everything was smoother than I could have ever expected. Our guests raved about the food! The bayou beast was the crowd favorite.

I came here Saturday during my vacation in New Orleans. I heard about this place from the Bon Appetit channel on youtube and decided to go out of my way to try it. I'm so glad I did. I ordered the James Brown sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I ever ate. The beef, shrimp, bread and sauce was full of flavor and delicious. Be warned; the place gets packed during lunchtime and the line can go out the door. But, if you walk past the outdoor dining area inside the property, there's an indoor bar area that will get you service quicker (with that being said, the food came out fast and the customer service was great, even with all the busyness). Shoutout to manager Kennedy and the Parkway crew!
Perfect spot for a Po’boy in mid-city. Came here after Cafe Du Monde location at City Park. Outdoor dining vibe is wonderful. Shrimp Po’boy and frozen lemonade drinks were an unexpectedly good combo

Googled best po boys in New Orleans And with almost 5,000 reviews and a 4.7 star rating this is in fact best. My pictures they did not skimp on the shrimp, Make sure you get it with all the dressing. Also not picture but very amazing The rum cake.

So I may have had the best po boy of my life yesterday. I loved Mabile’s out in LaPlace and it is still at least 2nd if not right there for 1st, but I got a half fried shrimp and half fried catfish po boy from Parkway Bakery and I am still thinking about it a good 24 hours later.The roll was absolutely perfect for a po boy so that immediately made me happy. The breading on the shrimp was nice and crusty with a good bite and was very flavorful. The shrimp were still tender inside and you could tell they were super fresh. Catfish, when it’s done properly, is one of my favorite things. This was an A1 catfish. I took a few bites of each (dressed of course) and then doused the ever loving hell out of them with Louisianas own Crystal hot sauce.I’d go back today if I wasn’t in the middle of smoking a brisket ?. I recommend ordering an ahead and getting it at the pickup window. We waited in line a good 45 minutes and the sandwiches are wrapped to go anyway. Order to go, grab your food, and find a table. Delicious. Downright delicious.Parkway Bakery - Didn’t Suck!
