Classic po' boys, including fried shrimp and roast beef
"On a list of greats, few po’ boy spots can match the iconic status of this classic Mid City corner institution. Parkway is best known for two favorites, the overstuffed fried shrimp and the roast beef and gravy, which have fervent followers — unless it’s the holiday season, then Parkway’s Thanksgiving po’ boy is most coveted. In Metairie, two spots fight for the crown of most iconic roast beer po’ boy: Bears at Gennaro’s, and R&O’s in Bucktown." - Eater Staff
"Lines here are often daunting at peak hours, but it’s worth the wait. Bring a book and settle in. " - Atlas Obscura
"A neighborhood favorite for roast beef or fried shrimp po’ boys; it sits right next to Bayou St. John, making it a natural stop for a post-lunch stroll along the water." - Beth D’Addono
"There is plenty of covered, relaxed outdoor seating at this casual place, one of Nola’s premiere destinations for po’ boys." - Missy Frederick
"Parkway is often people’s first recommendation for excellent po’boys. While we don’t share quite that level of enthusiasm, the po’boys here are still necessary to try and very good. The counter-service operation and expansive patio are great for groups, but grab a table at the bar inside if there’s a spot available so you can chat with the construction workers and politicians who come through daily. Go for the deep-fried shrimp and oysters or the classic roast beef, which is served dripping in gravy." - megan braden perry
