I can’t believe how long it has taken me to review this place. I mean, dead grass and leaves starting to come back.. hell.. long sleeve shirts were still appropriate daytime attire. \u00a0Now it’s consistently in the 90’s and humid enough to swim. \u00a0I’m on the brink of growing gills. Tangents about my lax writing schedule aside, I digress. \u00a0I’ve dropped by numerous times for the shrimp Po Boy. Shrimp is always perfectly cooked, light layer of mayo on a semi crusty bread. \u00a0Crisp lettuce and fresh tomatoes. \u00a0Drop some hot sauce on the Po Boy and it’s the best Po Boy I’ve had in Tampa (to be fair, I’ve found very few places that offer shrimp Po Boys).<\/p>\n

The prices aren’t too high, but it’s not cheap either. \u00a0The quality of the food outweighs any misgivings I might have had though. Coworkers have told me about how good their beignets are, but it’s something I’ve yet to try. I keep wanting to try their Jambalaya and Gumbo, but the draw of a perfectly made Po Boy keeps me from straying.\u00a0The decor is fun, but I’ve never been to New Orleans.. so I can’t really comment on how it relates to that. Cozy atmosphere and servers have always been friendly.<\/p>\n

I give it a [rating:4]. Excellent Po Bo, but I’ve yet to try anything else out.<\/p>\n
