Johnny's Po-Boys Restaurant Review

: Johnny and Betty De Grusha opened this place in 1950, and it’s been feeding French Quarter workers and visitors a cornucopia of classics ever since. Expect lean boiled ham, well-done roast beef in garlicky gravy, crisply fried oysters or shrimp, and a wide variety of other fillings enclosed in soft-crusted French bread. The chili may not float in San Antonio, but the red beans and rice are respectable. Breakfasts are hearty and bounteous, focused on egg dishes, biscuits and muffins. And you can wash down lunch, or breakfast, with a cold beer. For dessert, Johnny’s offers a true 1950s-style banana split with everything you can think of on top, including gummy bears.
