Frisco Deli

I ordered a BLT. It was pretty good. It smells great in there and is definitely try it again. Good prices as well

Immediately after Hurricane Katrina I was stationed in a warehouse nearby helping out with the Red Cross. We drove by this place several times until I couldn’t stand it any longer and I made my co-​workers stop for lunch. It was the best move during that whole 3 weeks! We ended up have a meal there just about everyday after that. Their red beans and rice were excellent — the catfish was too. And the couple who ran the place at that time (don’t know if they’re still there or not) were the best and treated us like family. One night they provided a huge pot of red beans, rice and other wonderful food to our group for free as a thank you. When can I go back!!!

I’m going with 4 stars on the best «joint» we’ve stumbled onto in this area so far. Stopping locally to buy andouille from a Cajun family they told us that this was the spot for Friday Red Beans and fried catfish. Now I’m from the bayou, and my partner is Seattle, so we’ve got tricky palates… forget healthy, but it should be fresh and authentic, and perfectly cooked to suit us both, so that includes my penchant for good Cajun flavor, French sauces and creole spice, and his «no mushy» clause on veggies and the «clean but simple» rule for his German palate. Frankly, this was a jackpot. Its run by a local family, so a homemade bread — thinly sliced hot link poboy suited him wonderfully, and my gumbo and cornbread hush puppies worked for me. Over my shoulder I noticed the table beside us had the red beans and catfish, and I was a bit envious. As that dish can go many ways, I played it safe. Wish I hadn’t! Everything was amazing, and our newbies vouched for their meal too. Many thanks, w’ell be back.

Been driving by this place for a couple of years. The parking lot, while not enormous, always seems to be full. The sign for the Cuban PB (Po Boy) always catches my eye. I have to try that place some day.
Friday, that day arrived. The parking lot holds maybe 10 — 12 cars. As usual, it is full. It’s not helped by the foursome with their four cars saying their goodbyes. Finally, the hugs and kisses are over and spaces start appearing.
Classic dumpy lunch place. Mismatched everything. Let’s go with eclectic. Not big, seats maybe 30 comfortably. Clean. Seemed like everyone knew each other. Service is fast and the waitress was hustling.
I was there for the Cuban PB and fries. I topped it off with a diet coke.
A Cuban is not something that is done very well or very often in New Orleans. However, should someone make a Cuban, there is a local secret weapon that would enhance even a Cuban smuggled in from the home land — Zatarains Creole Mustard– the perfect Cuban condiment.
The moment of truth, the plate arrives. Clearly, not a lot of effort on presentation. That’s OK, I’m not here for culture, I’m here for the food. The verdict — luke warm french fries and a very average rendition of a Cuban — French bread was overly dry, virtually no pickle and, sadly, no Zatarains. Meat was OK.
I will eventually get back here to try something else. I’m intrigued by the reviews singing the praises of their gumbo and other sandwiches. It will be tough to drive by Mabiles to get a po-​boy here.
Lunch was about $ 13.50 with a tip. Seems a little pricey. I’m giving this 2 stars based on my single visit.

Another small, family owned cajun eatery in LaPlace. This place is run by a cuban family and they have the cuban sandwich po boy to prove it.
Generally speaking I prefer Mabile’s po boys to Frisco, but there is one notable exception: the ham and cheese with roast beef gravy. It is exactly what it sounds like; a pressed ham and cheese with a decent amount of home made roast beef gravy (with little bits of roast beef) on it. This is a fantastic sandwich and I think more restaurants should offer things smothered in roast beef gravy.
The plate lunches are what make Frisco as good a choice for lunch as Mabile’s. Everything I’ve had here is good. The daily specials, the gumbo, the jambalaya, the lent specials, all of it.

This would be a great place for and episode of Divers, Drive-​ins and Dives. It doesn’t look like much from the street and the interior isn’t much either. While I was there for lunch I think half the police department was having their lunch there as well.
I had the roast beef Po Boy and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! WARNING! This is one messy sandwich so you will need to lean over the plate with elbows out and napkins within easy reach. I also enjoyed the hush puppies, one order includes ten pieces.
All in all a great experience, I will be back.

This place has excellent food! They should really consider expanding.

This place does gumbo and po-​boys better than any other place I’ve tried. I’m not sure what their secret is, but the word’s gotten around town. It’s not exactly a well-​kept secret within La Place. At lunch time you may be forced to take your gumbo and po-​boy to go because the place is PACKED!
The oyster po-​boy and shrimp gumbo are to die for. Beware: the portions are huge. A po-​boy might be enough for two meals, and a bowl of gumbo is a large meal in itself.
This place is homey and unpretentious. I have a feeling they’ve been doing traditional cajun deli food their way for decades.
Had I not heard about the place from locals, I probably wouldn’t have tried it on my own. I’m very glad I did, though. I wish they were open for dinner! :)
