Now that I've had a po' boy with fried shrimp, roast beef, and gravy I don't one one without them. I had my doubts about that sandwich, ordered it and never looked back.BMX Bandit said:

Growing up in SE Texas access to good po boy bread was not too hard. Lining in the Texas Panhandle (20 years now) good po boy bread is impossible. There's a few place that feature po boys on their menu, but without the correct bread, it's just not as good.

Just broke the packages down and put in freezer bags so we can easily grab 2 or 3 at a time as needed. They look like the real deal.
I've known Gambino's for years as a popular king cake maker, but there bread upon initial inspection appears to be the real deal. Tasty Tails in Dallas apparently orders their bread from both Gambino's and Leidenheimer. I know their poboys are fanstastic but I have no idea which of the two companys we had for our pbs there in the past.
When we occassionally make the drive from DFW to Nola instead of flying we always buy a few packages of loaves at the grocery. I forget the branding but on the back in fine print you'd see it was baked by Leidenheimer's. I'd buy 24" loaves and cut them into 6" pieces before freezing. Pop in the oven at 350 for a few minutes and you wouldn't know it wasn't fresh.
We'd also load up a cooler with green onion smoked sausage and other items you just can't find locally.
Edit: FWIW my wife is from Nola which is how I knew of G's for their king cake. I hate king cake other than Dong Phuong's KC. I avoid it unless it is Don Phuong. Once you've tried their's you'll never want to touch it from another bakery, and you'll wake up sweating and craving it. I'm pretty sure it is laced w/heroin
Second edit: get their cream cheese KC. I just looked and they're shipping orders are already sold out. Only available for local pickup now starting on January 6thI'll try again then - maybe the "sold out" is for 2021 and not 2022.
Originally from NOLA and feel the exact same about King cakes. Leidenheimer bread is the best. There are restaurants in Austin that either order it or have it delivered (not sure which).
Went to Buzzard Billy's in Waco this weekend and ordered a shrimp poboy. Very disappointing. Not even close to the necessary about of shrimp.
Bubba's 33 in Waco on the other hand has a decent one, although it is a little bit different. They load up the shrimp, but they coat the shrimp with some sort of honey glaze.

Did up shrimp and oyster poboys yesterday.
Egg washed both. Shrimp got coated in crackermeal and black pepper. Oysters got coated with mix of 2 parts flour, 1 part cornmeal, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
Butter toasted bread. Cocktail sauce on one side. Tartar sauce on opposite side. Shredded cabbage, then big slice of lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, then fried goodies.

The pics posted look amazing. Only thing missing is a good recipe for remoulade sauce, anybody got one?

With a username like that I'd say this is high praise.
I live in northwest Washington - we have out catfish from the frozen isle - straight from Korea or Vietnam. Or something
We did shrimp poboys the other night, need to find a suitable storage method for the fry oil that is less messy than returning it to its original jug. Always figure out how to make that messier than it should be.
ETA- as far as bread, I just use HEB fresh made bolillos toasted on a comal. #PP956ALVCuhhhh!

I've used this to dispose of used oil. Let it solidify and then just throw it away.

For good po boys Houston go to Cajun stop downtown
I went there after not having been in several years - it's gone way way way way down hill
I haven't been in a long while either but before covid it was a regular visit every 4-6 weeks. Disappointed to hear the review.
they had really good crawfish too in the spring

I moved away in 2017 - but when I lived there - yes, agree - it was spot on - I went back in 2021? It has fallen off
