1929 Po-Boy Kitchen

Nestled in the heart of town, 1929 Po Boy Kitchen delivers a culinary experience that's nothing short of extraordinary. My recent visit was a revelation, with each dish showcasing the kitchen's mastery over Southern cuisine.The fish and grits with shrimp were the star of the meal. The fish was perfectly seasoned and fried to a golden crisp, maintaining a delicate balance of crunch and succulence. Paired with creamy, buttery grits that had just the right hint of smokiness, each bite was a delightful harmony of textures and flavors. The shrimp were plump, juicy, and infused with a rich, savory essence that tied the dish together beautifully.As a side, the bacon was impeccable - thick-cut, crispy, and with an intense smoky flavor that only the finest quality bacon can achieve. It was a perfect counterpoint to the main dish, adding a layer of indulgence to the meal.And then, there were the beignets. Light, airy, and generously dusted with powdered sugar, they transported me straight to the heart of New Orleans. Each beignet was a bite of heaven, with a fluffy interior that melted in the mouth and a slightly crisp exterior.Overall, 1929 Po Boy Kitchen excels in delivering authentic, flavorful Southern cuisine. Each dish is prepared with an evident love for the craft, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a taste of the South.

So since it's Black Restaurant Week and My Birthday my best friend asked where did I want to go. I've been wanting to try 1929 Po Boy so here we are. The only person working at this time was kind and offered some suggestions. He was the only person, cooking, checking people out, and serving. Not acceptable. The red snapper was OUT. The ettouffee that was supposed to go with the grilled catfish po boy was out. The red beans and rice had too much chili powder and was a pour replacement. I wish he would've told me what he did have. The swap water was scorched. The one thing I thoroughly enjoyed was the fried green tomatoes and the company of the other patrons. I'm sad because I was excited. I am willing to try one more time though my birthday dinner was bad.

Staff was attentive and very obliging to answer questions... ultimately went with the Bayou Water and could eat this, three days in a row!

This PoBoy was amazing. Something I loved about it was that instead of using mayo (gross) they used a remoulade, and it was delicious! Something I did like was the bread-to-fish ratio. Way too much bread which gave the illusion that there wasn't enough fish. However, the flavor was super good! Another thing to add: very pricey. Overall, I will definitely come back!

My husband and I went for a date night to check out the famous yakamein and boy was it amazing! It's has different type of food restaurants surrounding it and a very nice bar up front. The service and friendliness of the staff was top tier! We ordered the oxtail and seafood yakamein and it was heaven. It's about 30 a bowl but boy is it worth it. We will definitely be back. I think I'll go back this weekend!

10's Across the boards!!!! I absolutely love this place! The food and the service are all tens in my book! I came here about two weeks ago... After hearing from a coworker about how good the gumbo was... I am from New York city and have been working downtown Houston for the last five weeks. The food in houston is so good, so I knew I was in for a treat or at least I'd hoped.I imagined I would get the gumbo but when I arrived there and looked at the menu, I was a bit on the fence about several things. I just didn't know what to get I mean everything sounded really good. There was a young lady there, who had just placed an order and she was with another friend who had also just placed an order they seemed to be frequent customers, so I asked what they would recommend. One of the young ladies exclaimed, "I absolutely love the Oxtail Yakkamein!" I responded, "the oxtail what?" She said it again, and laughed. Once I heard about what all was in it, I knew I had to try it.The young man behind the counter, Shawn, was the one who helped me place my order! What a sweetie! I wound up getting the Oxtail Yakkamein with some yummy seafood on top, as well! Woweeee! And I really mean, woweeee! What a dish! I don't think I've ever eaten a dish like this! The oxtails were humongous and incredibly tender and flavorful! I could barely finish one in my first serving. I definitely ate on this dish three times and was full all three times so know that the price is absolutely perfect! The broth, the collard greens, the boiled eggs, the seafooood!!! Oh my goodness! This place is a must!!! I leave for NY just after Christmas and am hoping yo get back there to get this dish before I leave!I tried to get this dish again today, but since the owner and chef that prepares this dish was on vacation. The dish was unavailable. There was a young lady and a young man that were working there and they took very good care of me considering I placed an order online for the dish and then when I went to pick it up, it was unavailable. I wasn't even mad, lol, they were so kind and gracious, and sent me away with a few eggrolls and some rice and beans. The food was so good and hit the spot really nicely before my performance this evening. Thanks you two!P.S. The first time I went, while I was waiting for my dish, Shawn offered me a sample of the sweet potato bread pudding! Yummmmy! Love this place!

My first time trying authentic yakamein and it is absolutely delicious! The food came out nice and hot! We didn't have to wait long at all. I got the seafood yakamein and my friend got the oxtail yakamein. The vibe is laid back and the owner is wonderful!

My husband & I have eaten at the 1929 Po-Boy Kitchen on several occasion. Most recently, today we got a take out order. Their red beans & rice with Tasso & sausage is our favorite. The fried green tomatoes are outstanding, as well as their boudin egg rolls! For dessert we got sweet potato bread pudding & beignets. Delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves the taste of New Orleans & hasn't tried it!

Most authentic New Orleans food in Houston, hands down! Customer service was the best thing on the menu! Mama Mo was delightful and has a beautiful soul. Absolutely amazing flavorful dishes. Great portions and definitely fresh. Beignets were delicious and don't get me started on the bread pudding! My husband and I talked about how much we enjoyed our meal days after our visit.Located in the beautiful Lyric Market food hall downtown; parking is free with any purchase from food hall (just enter ticket at exit gate then scan QR code on purchase receipt). There is live entertainment there on Thursday and Friday evenings. 1929 Po-Boy Kitchen is at the top of our list and we will unquestionably return to try additional items on the menu.
