Radosta's Restaurant

Great poboys! Very tasty. Good bater on the soft shell crab. Fresh French bread. Definitely recommend. Staff is friendly too. And, they had live Astros game playing on their TVs! Unique bread pudding that was really tasty too! Nice atmosphere. Shell on one of soft shelled crabs too hard, couldn't eat. Prices are a little high.

Stopped in here for a quick lunch while shopping in Metairie. I had the soft-shell crab 7" poboy and a cup of chicken andouille gumbo. The gumbo had a very dark roux and small bits of chicken and sausage. It was good but not exceptional. It needed salt and Crystals. It was served with crackers (my choice) but they were stale. The crab was fried in a corn-flour batter and had a nice flavor. I added lemon juice and Crytsals. The bread was fresh and wasn't tough. I ordered it loaded which includes, shredduce, tomato's and dill pickle slices plus a heavy layer of real mayonnaise. It all came together well and was very filling.

Place has unfortunately fallen off since the new owners. Similar to reviews below, placed a to-go order and waited the stated 20 minutes. When I got there wasn't terribly crowded but food wasn't ready. 30 minutes later food finally came out. Live less than 3 minutes away and food was already cold when I got home. Cheese on the poboy had coagulated like it had been sitting awhile. Medium fry for $4.50 was one of the smallest orders of fries I've seen. Maybe it was an off day for them but for a not busy Saturday lunch seems odd.Used to love this place.

Wonderful neighborhood place for salads po boy and hot plate favorites. Friendly comfortable atmosphere. Out of the way local place. Thanks to my cousins introducing me to this place!

So I heard they recently (or maybe not so recently) changed owners but the food has remained the same. I posted online asking what I should order for dinner if I live in old Metairie and Radosta's what the winner BY A MILE! I had eaten there before but the people spoke and I followed and once again, was not disappointed. Employees are wonderful and friendly. Food is reliably delicious. Order what you want, it will be good! Oh and their fries are done to a crispy perfection.

Came back for some take out and service is beyond friendly and it no longer smells of cigarettes. The owners wife aa the cashier is wonderful. Great neighborhood place!

Driving around the Metairie area looking for a po' boy place and saw the good ratings. And they were well deserved! It's a little unassuming spot on the corner with kitschy decor. We were a little confused when we entered but the cashier directed us to the back counter. It looks like a deli counter with a bunch of signs of items on the menu. We were greeted by a friendly guy and then an even friendlier guy greeted us and gave us the highlights of the menu. They have so much to choose from, and we wanted to try everything. They had plates or po' boys. It was lunch so we ordered po' boys. My son ordered a meat extravaganza po' boy, I had grilled chicken, and the husband got sausage. We all loved it. The po' boy was stuffed! They come in 7" and 10", and to be honest, my 7" looked just as big as the 10"! The chicken was chargrilled and so juicy. It was so good. I could only eat half of it. The bread was bomb. Soft and toasted. I love bread and I had no issue with it. And service - everyone was so nice. Not sure how it was before but we had a perfectly pleasant experience!We had originally gone to another po'boy place and it was closed today. And now I'll never know how the other restaurant is because we will be going back to Rodasta's and try all the items on the menu!

Funny story, while trying to find parking I asked a gentlemen who worked at the city park for guidance and we got to talking. He mentioned Radosta's and said we had to stop there for dinner, they had amazing food.So, after a long day of sightseeing, we pull up at 6PM and worry that with only an hour, we would be rushed or turned away, NOT AT ALL!The owner Robert listened to our tale and gave us recommendations of the items on the menu we would most enjoy. We put all of our trust in him and sat down.The first thing to arrive was a hot bowl of seafood gumbo that was the best we've had in the city so far. Thick, full of flavor and seafood, we'll take a gallon next time!Our next two plates were the Creole and catfish, but in-house recipes that absolutely did not disappoint. My lady and I actually switched plates halfway through just to enjoy both meals.It's easy to pass by this unassuming storefront and never know how good the food is inside. It's laid back inside, beverages are all self service, and they other diners that came in left satisfied with their meals.If you are in the area, stop in and give it a try. They have a large selection and I'm happy we had the best seafood on our trip.

Rob and the crew do a great job on all the food but im partial to red beans and rice with hot sausage patties made in house with a shrimp poboy.Tough to beat-- keep it up!

My roast beef poboy was to die for. The meat pies were delicious, but very spicy. Staff is wonderful
