Central grocery in NOLA. It's one place I definitely remember (like the poster above some of the best has been 20+ years ago). I would get a muffaletta from there, hit the southwest gate at the airport and eat as we wait for the plane. Many people would be in shock that I had that at the airport and would beg for where (in the airport) I got it.

I don't remember the last really good SPB I had but it may have been Parrans on Vets. Quave Brothers in D'iberville was good. It's all about the bread. IF they pull some of the bread out of the loaf after slicing it, the sandwich will be much better.
I live in the FL panhandle and your take is trash. Stay away from the obvious tourist traps and the food is fantastic.
You don’t know good food.
You won’t do it, but name me your top 5 restaurants from Pensacola to Tallahassee.
Last time I went to parrans it was really dry and the bread was too hard. Wasn't impressed
I'm not surprised. True New Orleans french bread is an endangered species these days.
Crabby jacks is good food.I like their jambalaya and fried chicken wings. Roast beef poboy is good too.
Pirates cove was my childhood. Shrimp poboy, barqs and a few rounds of Pac-Man
Shrimp poboys are hard to 17 up as long as you don’t use chewy bread and don’t try to make it fancy. I’d like to see this same thread for a roast beef poboy.
Bozo’s grilled shrimp was the best I’ve ever had but they aren’t consistent. Bozo’s Too is more consistent though.
Half Shell Oyster House grilled shrimp with Orleans sauce is damn good if the arteries can handle it.

Captain Joey Patti's, The Grand Marlin, Peg Leg Petes, Dewy Destins (If I bring my own fish), and Juana's Pagodas for the atmosphere and drinks.
Not a Poboy but Dewey’s has the best fried shrimp on the planet. Had some last week.
Trapani's in Bay St. Louis. They also had the best fish taco I've ever eaten. It had Triple Tail in it. We hit Trapani's every trip to the coast.
Another good poboy. In OBA at GTs on the bay. They have a firecracker shrimp appetizer, it’s smaller fried shrimp tossed in a really good firecracker sauce. Order the shrimp poboy and ask them to toss the shrimp in the firecracker sauce. It’s not on the menu but they will do it and it’s fantastic.
There is absolutely no reason not to eat oysters 12 months out of the year. For an oyster to be sold commercially it must have been handled by people who work in accordance with the national Shellfish Sanitation Program. Here is some light reading, 502 pages of detailed instructions and rules.
Nobody harvests wild oysters during spawning time, the warmer months. So in those months without an R, you are getting farmed oysters. Farmed oysters are triploid oysters which do not spawn and are sterile. So they do not exhaust themselves in those warmer months.
Nobody who buys from Frank Patti better see this. Otherwise you sleep with the fishes, capiche?
Honarable mention is Fayard's in Ocean Springs off North Washington.......you won't find a better gas station po boboy anywhere on the planet.
I live on the gulf coast. Im not eating motherfucking farmed oysters. So, like I said before you tried to sound all motherfucking smart, I ain’t eating oysters in a month than doesn’t end with r.
I was always a roast beef po-boy guy, and grew up on Lil' Rays in Gulfport. Best rb poboy going back then. 2nd best for me was Mother's Debris Poboy in New Orleans.
That said, the best damn sandwich ever created or eaten by mankind is the Central Grocery Muffaletta.

Captains Table, Bayou on the Beach, Dee's Hang Out, Uncle Ernies, Hunts Oyster Shop. Shall I had a Cap'n Ds to satisfy your taste?
So you are illegally harvesting oysters, or buying illegally harvested oysters, or do not know what you are talking about. Which is it ? Are you a criminal or a dumbass?
Peg Leg Pete’s is excellent. I’ll add Indian Pass Raw Bar in Cape San Blas to your list, we’ve driven over two hours one way just to eat there. Not between Pensacola and Tallahassee but Sunset Corkroom in Gulf Shores is as good a meal as I’ve ever had, it never disappoints. Don’t tell anyone, the damned tourist will ruin it.
When I lived in Mandeville, we used to get Poboys from Rips. Looks like they’ve gone to a full on restaurant on the lake now, not just a sammich shop.
Now a days it dosen't matter what month it is. If you don't watch them shuck them 9 times out of 10 you are eating pastured pre-shucked oysters on the half shell or they are from a bucket.
Some people call Mother's a tourist trap but that place is still legit. The best hangover cure in town is their debris biscuit topped with an over easy egg.
