Mike Serio's Po-boys

Great place for Po-Boys and the see some LSU sports memorabilia. Little small on the portion vs other po-boys

We relied on this place quite a bit during Mardi Gras because of its great location off the parade route. I did grab a Mufulatta sandwich for dinner one evening and it was ok - more of a panini actually. It was good size and fed two of us. I feel it could have been better with different bread. The service itself was quick and friendly, the restaurant is clean. Here is where things get a little dicey - it was the $2 per use restrooms. Yes I paid and used them a few times but man they were super sketchy and not so clean. My remedy was to make sure and bring a lot of sanitizer and wipes with me. I did appreciate them being there and allowing the use but for $2 I would expect a bit more upkeep.

TLDR: Definitely get the roast beef & check in on yelp for a free drink!Roast beef: I was expecting roast beef slices but it was like a stewed beef in shreds with lots of juice (like au jus). The bread must have been lined with mayo or something because the sandwich was juicy without it disintegrating at your touch. The sandwich could have used more veggies (just somethibg to add more freshness/texture) but can't complain. It was delicious and by far my favoritest one. Muffaletta: Solid cold cut sandwich! On french bread & pressed like a panini. They no longer do them on the round loaves & sell as halves/quarters. Overall a good cold cut sandwich but as someone who doesnt love olives, it wasnt my fave but was my cousin's!Fried shrimp: The shrimp was well cooked & pretty plentiful but the ratio of the sandwich seemed bread heavy. Like the roast beef, I found myself wanting more veggies for the crunch/freshness but honestly not bad!THINGS TO KNOW: They are only open for a few hours each day! I think it was 11-2pm (maybe 3pm).

This rating is ENTIRELY on the Bloody Mary. Owner made it for me - to go, of course - and lunch was basically served on the skewer or in the glass, and I'm quite sure he took me seriously when I said 2 shots.Very cool atmosphere, personable staff (everyone talked to us) and great location. It wasn't a cheap Bloody Mary, but it was a memorable one. :)

Serio's is simple with no frills but it's absolutely superior taste and quality. I've sampled their entire Po Boy menu and my favorite is the fried shrimp fully dressed and the Muffuletta (it's panini style which we prefer to the traditional big bread muffuletta). My husband prefers the hot sausage but their all delicious. Mike is a genuine soul and LSU fan to the max, another reason I love the place. We come to NOLA about every 3 months and always find time for a Serio's. Yes there are many other great places for Po Boys but with it's easy location on St Charles, we end up there at least once during our visits.

Great food. Great folks. Great Place. We had a great lunch at Mike's. The crew were super friendly to us. And we had a great time talking with Mike. If you're an LSU fan or Alum, or even if you aren't, you will be if Mike has any say. Don't skip the muffaletta either! Be warned, however, Mike hasn't updated the business hours, LOL! They close a bit earlier than advertised.

Waited for over an hour and a half for our food. Ordered two bloodies but they forgot so I had to go remind them after 30 mins of waiting. Fries were terrible. Shrimp po boy was mid. Guy at the register was nice but the overall experience was terrible given the wait and lack of quality.

Almost 4 stars - the fried shrimp po boy was hot and delish. But for $16 and the not-so-huge portion size, you can do better for po boys in NOLA!

Restaurant owner is prejudice. If you are black or a person of color, please find another place to eat. Let the owner know that your money is valuable and you don't have to spend it in his establishment. Save your money for a black business. He also employs workers who "Mike" thinks it's okay that they use profanity towards you. BEWARE!!!!

Service and food was Horrible I wouldn't Recommend this place to my worst enemy. Place was dirty and it had a bad smell, the bathrooms put me in mind of a horror movie. I rate this Place a negative-10. The health department is probably getting paid off the allow this Place to open.
