Today I decided to try the River Fine Foods Store. I've been hearing for a while that they make a mean Po Boy and it's been on my list for a while, I just never made it over. The snow storm gave me the perfect excuse to go since it's so close to my house. I got the shrimp po boy 8" dressed, which for $9 is a pretty good deal. They were also SUPER generous with the shrimp. A very satisfying picture! They also have 32" Po Boys so if you want a good Yelp photo that would be it! You order the food at the back of the general store and pay for it at the front register. It's meant to be taken to go as there are no tables inside or outside. The Po Boy made it safely to my house and it was about 30 minutes before I finally ate it. Even so it was still really good! The shrimp was still crispy and the bread had a good crunch. This is definitely a great option if you're looking for a Po Boy fix!

River Fine foods is known for its generous and fair priced Po-Boys and cold ones (from PBR to Holly Roller). River Fine Foods Store also stocks a variety of household goods, groceries, dairy, eggs, a good variety of low end and high end beer, wine, liquor and champagnes, chips, cookies and t-shirts and hats. I've been getting my usual dressed hot sausage poboy and beer here since the first day I ever walked in. They offer a variety of your favorite poboys, as well as Hamburgers, Chicken and breakfast. My boy likes the oyster on a bun and the Pirate likes a 16" shrimp or oyster.I requested higher end beers and explained that I most people would have to drive to Rouses to find nicer items. Slowly but surely they started adding higher end stuff and now when a new neighbor moves in, I run over to grab a bottle of Veuve Clicqout Champagne. Fancy. It's my go to now, it should be yours too. Whether you live here OR are visiting this part of New Orleans in Algiers;stop by...grab a cold one...and walk up the levee to watch the boats go by.....

my husband requested a 6 inch but rather than pointing out to him they only have 8 inch they "mis-heard" him and fixed a 16 inch instead. Then they refused to correct the mistake and insisted he had to pay for it. We will never be back. I understand others have had this problem also. Very poor customer service!

The food counter the back really is the shining star of this establishment. Their po-boys are generous in size, flavorful, and full of toppings at a great price. So far we have tried the oyster, hot sausage, fried shrimp, and beef debris po-boys and all have been quite good, although I probably favor the oyster. Every time we have a party, we order a few of the 36" (I think that's the largest size...) and chop them in pieces and rotate them through the oven to keep them warm; so far, they have always been the hit of these parties. The french fries are more steak fries in style (thick, absolutely the opposite of shoestring), and because you don't eat there, they haven't been the best when we get them home. The girls taking the orders are nice, but their English isn't always the best, so sometimes I try to use my Spanish (poorly...) to complete the order. The store itself is your average corner convenience store; some alcohol, beer, random things that you might need for your kitchen that you might have forgotten at the grocery store and just need to pick up quickly.

Ordered over the phone and my order was already when I pulled up. Ordered shrimp poboy dressed with fries. The shrimp were flooding off of the bread and seasoned so-so good. I'll always be back.

This is hand down the best place to get a cheap fresh sandwich. You see them cooking it and the prices are unbeatable. Nothing from a frozen bag here. Then you can sit on the river and eat.

River Fine Foods is an interesting place. It is a typical inner city convenience store packed with merchandise with a small po-boy shop as part of the business.The claim to fame of this place is the ability to get a 32" po-boy or some similar length. I would assume that would feed multiple people, but you never know.Their sandwiches are good, but not spectacular. They get very crowded at lunch time so be prepared to wait, or call ahead.

Great customer service. Big menu for poyboys and side items at a good price. A lot of items for the food pantry and a big selection of liquor and beers. Great place for the convenience of being close to home.

I have gotten a sandwich from here before but after today I won't be back for a while. The guy in the front is super nice by the way but the lady in the kitchen she's tall has a funny attitude she miss heard me so she assumed what I wanted. I explained to her no that's not what I said. She fixed my order and apologized. However My fish had a bad smell to it when I took a few bites it tasted foul. I just discarded it. The other sandwich I brought for my husband tasted great.
