Bear's Po Boy's at Gennaro's

Absolutely my favorite place for a roast beef po boy. It practically melts in your mouth. They sell it by the gallon which is great for parties. My go to place and everyone I go with loves it. Great onion rings also. Great service and convenient location

Hubby wanted a po boy and this was one of the places open. A staple in Old Metairie. The place was packed at noon on a Sunday. We did have a bit of a wait for the food but that's to be expected when it's a crowded restaurant! The roast beef poboy was delicious dressed but hardly had any gravy which is what you want so we had to ask for a cup of gravy. We also found it to be a bit small and needed salt. The sweet potato fries were amazing!!!The servers were very attentive even though the place was packed.

Ok Yelpers, this is officially my top choice for a fully dressed roast beef or french fry with roast beef debris poboy in the New Orleans area. Oh man, the perfect blend of mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and Leidenheimer French bread. There is Louisiana hot sauce and Tabasco on the table. The waitresses will gladly bring out extra gravy if you ask. The only problem is the wait, it took 40 minutes after we ordered to get our food. There is a sign on the wall stating the possible long wait during peak hours. By this time my glass Barqs root beer was not cold. So use the supplied paper towels at your table cause you'll need them. Enjoy! Eat local.

I've driven by this place a thousand times. My 86 yo Mother was telling me about going to the bar next door in the 70's so I told her there's a little po-boy place right next door and we decided to give them a try. I'm really glad we did. Our usual spot is out of the way today. We were tiring of their debris po-boy and wanted a different sandwich. I ordered a large roast beef dressed with mayo and a side of au jus. This sandwich is the epitome of what a roast beef po boy should be. Its super thin slices were tender and delicious with a hint of garlic. Just a hint!I took it to go so I cannot comment on the restaurant itself. The ONLY reason I gave them less than 5 stars was the price. $20.75 is just more than I can afford for a sandwich. In their defense, I'm a big guy and I'm FULL. This sandwich could feed my wife and teen daughter easily. It was good and good, just pricey. You get what you pay for!

Ordered a poboy with hot sausage and hamburger meat. It's called a who dat burger. Very good, tasty, and one of my all time favorites. Service was a little slow today but probably cause of Mardi Gras and people being off from work. I'll be back again soon and try the Ferdi. My friend said it was delicious.

How did this place earn 4.2 stars?Beware if you're looking for a good Po-Boy.Food had no flavor, server got our order wrong, we waited 42 minutes to get our food, it was expensive, and the place was freezing.

Great old school sandwich shop with an old school bar next door to match. Best beef PoBoy I've ever had...actually one of the better sandwiches I've ever had of any kind!

On my most recent trip to New Orleans, I wasn't necessarily in search of the best Poboy, but I just so happened to find it. Over the duration of nine days, I believe I ate six Poboys, with two of them being from Bear's. When it comes to a Poboy, it is all about the bread. And whatever bread they are using at Bear's is absolute perfection. It is soft enough to soak up all of the wonderful juices from the Poboy sandwich, but sturdy enough to not fall apart in your hands. I absolutely loved the two roast beef Poboys that I had from Bear's. The roast beef is sliced perfectly, and so tender and juicy. There's really nothing more I can say other than do yourself a favor and come get a Poboy from Bear's. Don't forget to order some onion rings while you're at it!

I really don't have any complaints about the sandwich itself because it's a good, authentic po boy! I got a fully dressed shrimp po boy. I ordered take out on a week day during lunch time and it was pretty busy. I stayed on the phone waiting for them to get my order for like 5 minutes. The parking is annoying and gets busy, but they do have parking under the bridge. The service was nice, but it's in a small little shop. I wouldn't try going there with more than 5 people. Overall, good po boy!

One of the best roast beef po-boys we've ever had. Well worth it. Will be back soon. Parking can be a problem as the place is never empty.
