Anthony's deli has an excellent roast beef poboy.

Best roast beef is probably the one at Jasmine’s.

Best seafood is hard to say, but one of my personal favorites is the shrimp po’boy from Cork’s.

For weirder po’boys, I like the turducken po’boy from Bellue’s, and I also really like the shrimp philly at Goodwood Grill.

Places in Baton Rouge have a bad habit of a terrible bread to seafood ratio. They often use soft but stale bread that isn’t even toasted, and like 2 tiny shrimp on each side. It’s embarrassing. I could call out a few places directly, but I’ll refrain.

Good po’boy bread should be a little crusty on the outside (but not hard as a rock like many New Orleans establishments), but soft and chewy on the inside. There should be a lot of shrimp. It’s okay if the shrimp aren’t huge as long as there’s a good ratio of meat to breading.

Phils oyster bar used to have a good shrimp poboy, havent been since they were on Government st though
