It is cetainly better than the Chimes po-boy, but I still think the best po-boys in town are at Dempsey's.
I worked in the French Quarter for years skip Mothers to me its overrated and not worth the wait. Go to Johnny's for your shrimp po-boy. Its on St. Louis and Decatur.
Daisey Dukes makes a pretty good Po'Boy as well. Great breakfast. And it's 24 hours. On Chartres right across from the side entrance to the Marriott.
It's a good po-boy . . . just not a great one. I rate the Chimes highly on some other dishes, like the shrimp and corn soup.
don't listen to the folk talking down Mothers! well it's up to you the ham / roast beef debris has been on the Food Network and it's just awesome Mother's Restaurant - Recipes - Dictionary - New Orleans - World' Best Baked Ham - 401 Poydras, New Orleans, LA 70130 Tel: 504-523-9656
I say skip the skrimp po-boy and get a roast beef debris from mothers. Skrimp po-boys are as overated as Bosie.
I could not agree more Bud you can get a shrimp any place in Louisiana Mothers is a one of a kind but you don't have to listen to this old man that has ate em all!!!:wave:
They don't grill the bread in butter. If that doesn't happen, I don't think the sandwhich even deserves to be called a po boy. I also don't like their bread in and of itself. It just doesn't hold up well. I don't like the breading on their shrimp. It comes off way too easily. I like the food (and beer) at the Chimes. I just don't think they do a very good job with po boys.
