New Orleans is known for many foods, and po’boys are just the tip of the iceberg. Countless restaurants around the city have made a name for themselves as having some truly delicious po’boys, like Parasol’s, Domilise’s, or R & O’s in Metairie. This one long-standing restaurant in New Orleans has a roast beef po’boy that’s so good, we’ve crowned it the best in New Orleans, and you need to check it out.

Parkway Bakery and Tavern first opened their doors in 1911.

In its earliest days, Parkway was a neighborhood bake shop run by owner Charles Goering, Sr. and then Henry Timothy Sr., when he purchased the shop from Goering in 1922.
They began selling po’boys in 1929 after the streetcar workers strike and they’ve been slinging hearty po’boys ever since.

It’s been a long-standing tradition for both locals and tourists for 90 years and is still going strong.
The counter-serve eatery has both indoor and outdoor seating.

The indoor seating fills up rather quickly during peak times, so get there early if you want to snag a seat inside.
Outside, you’ll find rows of tables.
