Mahoney's Po-Boy Shop

What’s a foodie to do when times get tough? Jaunted has you covered with our list of high-class restaurants with recession-era pricing.

Of all the development problems in post-Katrina New Orleans, local foodies complain loudest about one thing: The proliferation of high-end “New Orleans cuisine” in the touristy districts, and the dearth of traditional, no-frills po' boy shops.

So NOLA residents were justifiably thrilled when Mahoney's Po-Boy Shop opened on Magazine Street. (And now that the rest of us are hard-hit in the pocket, tourists may start venturing there, too.)

You won’t find a shred of fusion-y, New Orleans-meets-New York food at Mahoney's, just traditional giant sandwiches like fried catfish, shrimp and Cochon De’lait (Cajun pig roast). Small po' boys start at $6.75, and if you know anything about eating down south, we probably don’t have to tell you they ain’t that small.
