There are plenty of excellent restaurants in New Orleans where you can chow down on a delicious po’boy. If you’re up for a little trip over to Metairie, you’ll be treated to one of the best po’boys in the city, especially if you get the roast beef po’boy. Roll up your sleeves and grab a stack of napkins, because today we’re headed to Radosta’s near New Orleans.
When it comes to nostalgic restaurants, Radosta’s ranks high on many a New Orleanians list. This iconic corner store has been around for nearly a century, and over 40 years in its current location in Old Metairie.
This casual little neighborhood restaurant is a hidden gem. It’s one of those places where you could run into an old friend no matter what time you go in, and find yourself sitting for hours catching up and reliving old times.
The menu is just what you’d expect at a traditional New Orleanian restaurant. All your favorite Creole specialties make an appearance here, and every day they feature a new daily special. Of course, on Mondays you can expect red beans and rice.
For starters, be sure to get a cup of their gumbo. Nothing pairs better with a po’boy than a hearty cup (or bowl) of gumbo, and Radosta’s has some of the best.
Not only do they have an endless list of your usual suspects, but several specialty po’boys, too. From a french-fry po’boy to a ground chuck burger po’boy, you’ll have a tough time deciding which one to get.
And don’t forget about the onion rings. Fried to a golden brown and seasoned to perfection, these massive onion rings are an absolute must, and many will tell you they’re the sole reason they go to Radosta’s in the first place!
