Adams Street Grocery

Shrimp Po-​boy, was full of flavor and packed with shrimp!

You could double the price of their very good small shrimp po boy and still pay less then the same thing at Domolise’s.

usual oyster po boys are amazing.
this time, they didn’t have shipment of oysters yet, so got shrimp and catfish.
the catfish was perfect. exceptional batter (salty and flavorful). catfish is eaten for texture not flavor and they managed to keep moist and plump.
shrimp was as expected in most of new orleans.

Great poboys at a very good price. A very solid 3.5 star place for food. Probably 2 stars for the actual store.
Most sandwiches are about $ 5 for a full foot with the fried seafood ones being a little more. If you get them dressed, they come with just the right amount of mayo, lettuce, and tomato. The shrimp and fried fish were pretty good and worth trying. No skimping on the meat. The bread is perfect poboy sandwich bread (supposedly from dong phuongs— only the best bread in NOLA). Overall, a very simple, straightforward, poboy.
The ambience? Ehh well it’s in this dinky little convenience/​liquor store with no seating… But it does mean you have every selection of drinks and chips. Pair it with hard liquor if you would like!
Also don’t expect speedy service. You may find yourself waiting a while. And nobody ever answered the phone to take our order ahead of time…
Sweet place for a very budget friendly, tasty poboy. But don’t expect to get your socks knocked off.

Great poboys at a great price. The basic ones are pretty cheap (e.g., ham, turkey, $ 5, or $ 5.50 with cheese). The really good ones (e.g., fried shrimp, fish, or oysters) are more like $ 8-​$ 9 but are worth it. This place isn’t anything fancy but they make great food decently fast and it’s cheap. You should call in your order to save time!

Hidden gem in New Orleans. They make great, top notch poboys for about $ 5 which is a steal. I recommend that you get the hot sausage poboy, and that you call your order in so you don’t have to wait. Only docking them one star because there’s no seating inside of the store. I usually just grab my poboy and eat in the park anyway.

Certainly not a destination,. It is really just a liquor store with food.
The poboys were average, but the price is right. So if you are looking for a cheap neighborhood takeout place with no frills, this will hit the spot.

Poboys are pofect. Location so clutch, love this place. Typical expensive convenience store prices on everything else, but really great price for tasty sandwiches!

I really love this place. They serve GREAT po’boys for cheap! My favorite things to get here are the fried shrimp po’boy (dressed of course) and their amazing chicken fingers. Everything else is good too

Excellent, inexpensive po-​boys. Roast beef, smoked sausage, etc are all quality sandwiches. Quick service.

I love sandwich shops in the back of old neighborhood markets and this place does not disappoint. The po’boy was perfect– crusty bread, plump fried shrimp and the crawfish pie was even better. It took probably 15 or 20 minutes for me to get my food, but I’m sure it was because I ordered the crawfish pie. It was totally worth it though! So get off Bourbon Street and come eat a damn good sandwich!

Best prices for poboys in the city. It’s literally a better deal than subway because they sell whole poboys (more than 12″) for $ 5. It’s also a little mini mart and always seem to have some football playing on an old school tube television. I think they’re running some gambling operation but I’m not privy to that. I’ve had the shrimp and the roast beef, both solid. I hear the club and other more deli sandwiches are good too.

This is a convenience store and very small grocery with a kitchen in the back slinging food. The quality and flavor of the po boys is really more of a two star but the very cheap prices bump them up a star. This is probably one of the cheapest places in the city limits to get a po boy. They also have some ambiance and character inside with the best collection of beer signs of anybody in the city. The roast beef is pretty forgettable and not worth getting. The seafood options are generous portions but the batter could really use some pepper or Tony Chachere added into it as the shrimp, oysters and soft shell crab really end up tasting quite bland and flavorless. This store is really small and stuffed full of things so its really best to call ahead and have your order waiting for you to pick it up as there isn’t a lot of standing room to wait and nowhere to sit and eat.

The best hole in the wall in Uptown, love the poboys. The people who work here are great and usu friendly.

Tried this bodega-​like neighborhood grocery store on a search for poboys. Probably will not return.

This is my go to place for poboys. I live nearby, the food/​service is good, and the prices are GREAT! I always get a fried oyster poboy dressed with lettuce, mayo, and pickles, fries, and a can of iced tea. At $ 14, I would definitely say it’s the best bang for your buck compared to other places I’ve been.
You can order a half or full sandwich (a foot long – or pretty close to a foot long) and I love their fries. They sell some other stuff too – egg rolls, meat pie, crawfish pie, wings, chicken nuggets. Definitely drinking food, which is good because it also sells liquor (but make no mistake, there is NO bar in here – it’s really just a convenience store that also serves food).
During lunch time, especially during football season, there can be quite a wait for food. Good thing is – you can order by phone and pick it up, which may save you some waiting time.
I would give this place 5-​stars, but sometimes there are small pieces of shell in my oyster poboy. Not a big deal, but definitely not worthy of 5-​stars. Still, I’m definitely a fan of this place!

When I first walked up to Adams Street Grocery, I thought I was at the wrong place. Totally looks like a hole-​in-​the-​wall, but the po’boys were delicious.
We all ordered the shrimp po’boys, dressed. The bread was crusty but not too chewy and the shrimps were all freshly fried but not too greasy, and well-​seasoned. Everyone’s sandwiches were well-​dressed, but maybe because I got a half-​sandwich, my sandwich was more skimpily dressed and ended up being a little bit dry.
The price is unbeatable though, the sandwiches are massive, and eating on the curb afterwards and almost having a car run over our sandwiches was a pretty hilarious and unforgettable experience.

You can’t go wrong at Adams Street Grocery. The sandwiches are excellent… fresh meats/​seafood, crusty bread, PLUS they are more than willing to customize your order to make your po’boy just for you.
The guys behind the counter are friendly and helpful and are willing to answer any questions you may have.
If you are in Uptown, don’t miss out on Adams Street Grocery for a solid po’boy.

I’ve been here three times with others (my girlfriend, roommate, and cousin) and have had the meatball po-​boy, smoked turkey po-​boy, and hot sausage po-​boy. Have also had onion rings, fries, the meat pie, and crawfish pie. I also tried a bit of my girlfriend’s bacon club po-​boy. Everything I’ve had has been delicious, yet simple. Perfect po-​boy bread, and a perfect amount of goods in between. They don’t overstuff, but they don’t skimp either.
There is also a plethora of household goods, pantry foods, snacks, and beer available in the grocery part.
The prices are incredibly low. Three bucks for a 6-​inch turkey po-​boy. Eight bucks for a 12-​inch shrimp po-​boy!
Can’t be beat.
This will be a regular for me, my girlfriend, and my roommate, as it’s only a block and a half away and the prices are so low.

This is my go to lunch spot if I need a quick sandwich on my lunch break. The menu is diverse enough for every budget and appetite. I recommend the club on toast. It’s delicious and affordable. I suggest that they keep it local and offer more local craft beer options though.
