Curious as to where the best shrimp poboy you ever had was? I’ve had them all over Louisiana, Mississippi, and the panhandle. The best I’ve ever had is from Soul Fish in Memphis, tn.

But to your question… I like them, but I’m pretty limited in my experience. I liked the Islander in Jackson. Haven’t done many at all toward the coast/NO. Can say the ones I’ve had outside of LA/MS/FL have been pretty weak
In my opinion, the correct answer is Bozo’s in Pascagoula.
I do not think it is possible for a landlocked town to have a better poboy than a coastal town. Particularly, a grilled shrimp poboy. You simply can’t beat the fresh shrimp.

Jan’s Restaurant Lafitte, LA
it no longer exists thanks to Ida, but they’re working on coming back.

I was pretty disappointed when I tried Bozo’s. In the Jackson area, Sal & Phil’s is hard to beat.
Marilynn's in Shreveport is pretty damn good. And the biggest damn poboy I have ever seen.
For nostalgic reasons I remember being a kid and so many times my grandfather and I going to the Pirate’s Cove in Pass Christian for a shrimp po boy and a Barq’s in the bottle. I’d give anything to do that with Pa one more time.
Lil Rays on the coast.

Mine was at some hole in the wall bar in NOLA. I don't even know its name.....I'm not sure it had one. We just stopped in for lunch. That was 20 years ago.
I am forced to disagree. The Seafood Bistro in Montgomery, Al is the best I have ever had, and I have had them all up and down the coast. It doesn't hurt that it is so massive that it's at least two meals worth.
Now if you go nontraditional, then the New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Company is pretty damn dank. But it's a BBQ shrimp poboy and they do not slice the bread, but hollow it out from one end to contain all the sauce.
Pirates Cove roast beef with a Barq’s. Grew up going there. Best I’ve ever had.
Parkway?
Pirates cove?
Bozos?
I’ve had a lot of good ones, including from some pretty nondescript places. Not sure I could pick one out as the best.

The shrimp/oyster combo at Mahony’s on Magazine St in NOLA may be the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had po-boys all over MS, LA and AL.
Parkway Tavern is really good, Johnnys used to be great but I haven’t been in a long time, Seafood Express in Meridian is legit as is Fins in Laurel.
Debris po-boys in Mobile AL is really good.

Any location that is not in south Louisiana is wrong. Personally I say Loupe’s Deli in Norco LA
my favorite in the Jackson area is Sal and Phils in Ridgeland. Pretty hard to beat theirs.
My favorite in the south is Flying Harpoon in Gulf Shores (not Orange beach which is the tourist trap one) youll know you're at the right one if it looks like someone's house up on stilts.

Shrimp Buster at Herby-K's in Shreveport. Good stuff.
For a way back reference, my all time favorite was any po boy at Fisherman's Wharf in Biloxi before the Lady Luck took over in the early 90s. Good memories going there with my dad.

It's all about the bread. leidenheimer bread to be specific. Got to be soft but a nice crunch on the outside.
Domilise is a hidden gem. Same old ladies in that old building still making them up. I get lunch there ever couple of months. guys po boys are good but pretty high price being on magazine. I've had a bunch from hole in the wall places that are good too. Frank and Johnnys has a good ferdi. Nice laid back atmosphere too. Mahoneys on magazine is good too. Honestly I've had some really good ones in little corner marts spread out New Orleans. Couple of little cafes on north shore like la pines cafe in Slidell, nans cafe in mandeville. Pretty damn good.
Good shrimp poboy places are all over S. Louisiana and the Coast. Just need good poboy bread and fresh shrimp. Grew up eating them, had one a few weeks ago on a fishing trip in Grand Isle, but I don't find them all that special. Not really a fried food fan. But a good roastbeef, not with some canned gravy crap, is a great poboy. Several good places in Nola including Parkway, Parrain's, Mahoney's, Parisol's (but not as good as a young, drunk me remembers), Short Stop, R&O's...any place near the Gulf that has a good roast beef poboy will have a good shrimp poboy but not necessarily vice versa. I need to try Pirate's Cove. Never been there.
Barbecue shrimp poboy at Luizzas by the track in New Orleans.
Not going to say it’s the best I’ve had, and I’ll probably get flamed here, but Little Dooeys has a jamming fried shrimp poboy with homemade remalaude(sp?).

R&O’s
with an extra helping of claw machine plush toy winnings for the kiddos.
But I only get the shrimp after I grow tired of the roast beef or soft shell parm po boys.

I’ve eaten at Liuzzas many times. Do yourself a favor, turn the corner and go to Katie’s.
One of the best restaurants in N.O.
