Mahony's Po-boys & Seafood

Mahony PoBoys is on the walking food tour. It is the place to taste the most amazing PoBoys. Not being local, we expected to be another aptly named sandwich but it is not. It is the shrimp PoBoy that will amaze you. It is their signature dish. A perfect mix of lettuce, mayo and tomatoes. We enjoyed it so much we can back to only be disappointed by the Angus Pot Roast Beef – the meat was too dry and juice that came with it changed the texture of the baguette. The alligator sausage was ok but not to their standard of shrimp PoBoys.

So we walk in, 7:20pm, and the guy jokes that we might be the last set of people, they close at 8. Nope, a few more groups do show up. But the music playing? Blind Faith's Can't Find My Way Home. Oh, BABY! That's just the start of a great experience. Awesome, awesome food, atmosphere, and service. My son had a shrimp and something Po'Boy, I have the seafood gumbo, my daughter had the chicken and something gumbo, and my wife had the catfish and (looked like) collared greens. Everything was great, authentic, and tasty. A+++

Hands down! Delicious! Best gumbo that I have found in town yet. But let me tell you, the staff is some of the best I have ever met in my travels. The kindness shown to an out of towner was truly a delight. Even in Vegas I have never experienced the hospitality that this place shows. Please visit them and support them. Not only do you get wicked good food but the people, the people are what make it special.

Mahony's was right across from our hotel, so we decided to stop in one day for a quick lunch. Honestly, we didn't have high expectations for some reason. It seemed to be closed a lot - again, it was by our hotel, so we passed it many times. And when we went in, it wasn't very crowded. Well, it turned out to be a surprisingly good find! My son and I thought it was much better than some of those higher rated places - don't be fooled by ratings! I'm not sure how some places have the ratings they do. Anyway, we ordered the Blue Crab Jalapeño Bites because the Tabasco powdered sugar intrigued us. They did not disappoint! We liked them a lot, and the powdered sugar was an interesting add. However, our favorite thing was the Peacemaker Po-Boy. I see why they say it's an award winner. We got the smaller size - and it was still HUGE! Enough for us to share, although I do think my teenage son could have eaten the entire thing and probably wanted to, lol! I only got a couple of bites, so I guess that wasn't really "sharing", now that I think about it! I think we had a po-boy at two other places during our stay, but this was our favorite. It was piled high with everything cooked just right. The service was also great! I would totally come back to Mahony's just for that po-boy and a glass of wine.

I had the small (6”) root beer glazed ham po-boy fully dressed and it was amazing. It’s served warm and the ham had a nice sweetness to it. I’m definitely going back again before I leave, and plan to have the king cake ice cream dessert next time. Service was quick and nice. I visited just before noon on a weekday.

This is by far one of the best po boys I ever had. The service was excellent from the door. Our waitress (Shante) was outstanding. She was so sweet and attentive. She made some excellent recommendations. We chose the catfish with shrimp on the side. The fish was seasoned well as land crispy. The food was fresh and huge portions. The sweet tea was homemade and made to perfection. Definitely a must in the French Quarters!

Delicious local flavors! We had an early afternoon meal here...tried po-boys, catfish, and alligator sausage. Everything was heavenly. Mahony's wasn't too crowded, but the dinner hour can see bigger crowds. Prepare for a brief wait anytime after 5:30 or so. Our server was super charming, too. Win win!
