Parenton's Po Boys

We're from Texas passing through New Orleans for a bit ended up needing to get he Alternator replaced at Jefferson's auto service.. While waiting on our vehicle Josh suggested to have lunch at Parenton' s Po boy ... The fish & shrimp were so fresh .. Hamburger & Po Boy we're amazing The owner was so sweet and had a nice conversation as the storm passed by.. We would drive back just to eat here again... Thank you, Mrs. Rose DeLaRosa

This is a small little dive po boy place tucked away in a neighborhood one block off Jeff Hwy (turn at the Blue Tomato / Jefferson Feed Pet & Garden Center then first right on Ellen about a block in). This joint has a dedicated following of local fans that frequent this establishment. They have good seafood po boys and different specials each day of the week all at really great prices. Legend says they have some of the most fantastic fried chicken and I certainly have found it to be quite a nice version of the many great versions of New Orleans fried chicken. The folks that work here seem friendly and like to strike up conversation when it isn't too busy. Most things about this place I really like while the one thing I don't enjoy is that this place is only open for lunch so that can be challenging when you might like to have some of their food for dinner time but you certainly should make an effort to sample the daily specials when you can. Parenton's Po-Boys is also right down the street from Central Poboys so you always have a choice of these two great poboy joints to choose from right in this area. Overall Parenton's really offers some good food at a great price. My video review of Parenton's Po-boys is here:https://youtu.be/364GuHohAJM

If I could eat here everyday I absolutely would!! Even her club sandwich has me craving it weeks later! This place is so special! It's just a perfect experience all the way around!

The roast beef poor boy was so good I am thinking about it more than two years later. Can't wait to go back next time in New Orleans.

I had an earlier appointment today near Parenton's and decided to stop in for a late lunch. WOW. The shrimp/oyster combo was just amazing. Easily one of the best poboys in the greater New Orleans area.Also the owner was in the restaurant and she was just as kind as possible. These are really good folks and they will work hard for you. Show this place some love.

The roast beef and the fried green tomatoes were one of the best I have ever had! Absolutely delicious!

The Food is great Everything I get is very very good I have been going here for 14 years I will add more picturesOn Fridays you need to try the oyster poorboy don't take it home eat that sandwich their

Food delicious! Customer Service awesome. You gotta get their chicken fried steak with best-ever Mac & Cheese plate lunch. Only served on Thursdays I think, and they sell out fast. We've also enjoyed their roast beef Po-boy (served every day) and Spaghetti with meatballs. Call ahead to find out what their specials are but everything is delicious. Comfortable & safe environment. They close at 3:00 pm so go early or call ahead to place orders. Kudos to Brenda & her restaurant family.

Shrimp po boy and red beans and rice were awesome!! Huge portions!!! The fried pork chop with the red beans & rice was my favorite!!!!

Service was fine. It's a local spot with the local ambiance. My food was... well, it wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for. It wasn't That busy, and yet my sandwich...a hot roast beef...was nowhere Near hot. I prefer my roast beef to be shredded, so I will take the blame for not asking first. But it was not even warm and the roast beef was not even thinly sliced but thick. The gravy was grey and tasteless. French fries were Sweet (????). All in All, a very disappointing lunch.... Sorry, but I won't be back
