Can’t get much more old school than a ham and cheese and a hot or mild sausage poboy on the menu. Poor Boy Lloyd’s has been downtown forever, and they pride themselves on doing everything the old way. There’s a cashier booth at the front with lottery tickets for sale along with candy and gum and you can walk up and tell them what you had and they will ring you up right there if your waitress is too swamped to get you your ticket in a timely fashion. They offer breakfast and the usual plate lunches with a lot of fried seafood dishes thrown in, but they are first and foremost about their sandwiches and poboys. I got the mild smoked sausage poboy because they’re not that easy to find anymore. Really good. And since I had the chance to get a side of rice and gravy, I got that instead of fries or onion rings. Good debris gravy, so I’m pretty sure their roast beef poboy rocks too. I’m about to go on a meatball poboy tear, so I think I’ll throw these guys on the list along with Rocca’s, Po-boy Express, and Anthony’s Deli. Maybe Phil’s Seafood as well since they do more than just talk a good Italian game. Coming soon.
