Excellent And Multiple Options!

NOLA is a little difficult for food-loving vegans. I was so thrilled to find 3 vegan poboy options all in one place that I got 2 to hold me for a couple days. The sweet potato and the BBQ Tofu were both delish and tasted like quality ingredients. Next time, I’d begin my trip here and stock up the hotel fridge! I only wish they stayed open later.

Pros: Creative take on a local dish, Multipe vegan options, Good quality ingredients

Vegan Po boys!

I've never had a normal poboy, but I've heard finding a good vegan one is hard? At this restaurant, half of the menu was vegetarian, and half of those were vegan. They also had vegan steamed greens as a side which is hard to find! The Thai BBQ Tofu poboy was delicious. The sauce was tasty and the tofu was cooked well. A quick, relatively inexpensive bite in the French Quarter

Delicious, affordable, and fast!

My partner and I popped in here during a visit to New Orleans, and we were totally satisfied! I ordered the cauliflower po'boy with romesco sauce and my (non-vegan) husband had one with BBQ chicken. My sandwich was delicious and just the right size for lunch. I was afraid it would be huge from the pictures, but it was perfect. They had an ice water station and bathroom, too. Food came out within 10 minutes! The value for the taste is incredible.

Pros: Multiple vegan options, Perfect portions, Great value

Delicious Poboys

Clearly labeled vegan options! The BBQ tofu poboy is delicious. I'm hoping to go back and try the cauliflower one.

Go early because they run out of vegan options

I ordered the tofu Poboy and they were sold out, as well as out of the cauliflower. I tried the only other vegan option which was the sweet potato. It was not well presented with 90% collard greens, an overwhelming amount, and only a tiny bit of sweet potato with no black eyed pea and pecan spread as advertised. Next time I will go earlier!

Pros: Friendly service, Convenient to the French Quarter hotels

Cons: Limited vegan items , Menu item not as advertised

A Frech Quarter Delight

One daquari down, and it was time to eat. Stopped by at around 2pm Sunday and boy was that the right time because a line started outside the building waiting for seating! Thai BBQ Tofu Poboy was awesome; sweet, sticky, with a good acid hit from the slaw. Highly recommend checking this place out !

Pros: BBQ Tofu Poboy, Chill Atmosphere, Friendly Staff

Don't leave NOLA without going here

The bbq tofu poboy slays so hard. The cauliflower one is pretty dang tasty too, but the tofu gets it with the crunch from the peanuts too🌱 So awesome, the staff are excellent, and what a fun place:)

Good flavor, but eat it fast

The tofu po'boy was pretty good. I loved the tofu but the slaw was a little brine-y tasting. I also didn't eat fast enough as the slaw made my bread soggy and inedible pretty quick

BBQ Tofu Sandwich

Was in NOLA for a bachelorette trip in 9/2023. Happy to find a place that is veggie friendly. BBQ tofu sandwich was great- flavorful and had a nice kick to it.

Been there almost every day of my trip

The cauliflower one is the bomb, bbq tofu is good too. Need to try the sweet potato but I think I'm going to end up getting the cauliflower again

Worth the trip

When we went there were three vegan options: Thai tofu BBQ, cauliflower and sweet potato with collards. I had the Thai tofu which was nice and spicy with a full flavor. The local tofu was special. My wife had the sweet potato one and enjoyed hers fully as well.

Pros: Taste, Multiple selections, Openness to substitutions

Cons: Busy at lunch time!

Good sandwich

We were staying a few doors away from here. Had the Thai Tofu sandwich. Kind of reminded me of a Bahn Mi sandwich. Very tasty and a little spicy.

Can’t go wrong

Quick and easy. The lady behind the register praised all of their vegan options with pride and excitement. I got the cauliflower Po’Boy. The kale chips sprinkled in were and interesting touch. I very much look forward to trying the other options. #Veganuary

Poboy without the killer

This is a pretty good review. Since they serve meat, 4 stars is the top, and it's not the top, but it was very good.

I got the cauliflower poboy, and it was really good. It had a lot of flavor, and I was left satisfied.

Updated from previous review on 2023-12-01

Pros: Thanks for the vegan options.

Cons: The place was dirty behind the wall of soda.

Thankful for Vegan Options!

I got the sweet potato poboy and my spouse got the cauliflower poboy. Loved the greens and the flavors were not lacking at all for vegan options which happens sometimes.

Pros: Vegan options!, Flavor, Friendlyness of Staff

Veg PoBoy

Vacationing in New Orleans with meat eaters I was a hungry vegan for a good part of the week. Before a bar tour I needed food. The majority of my friends wanted to eat at a place that only offered an iceberg salad that I would have to modify. So a friend offered to go somewhere else so I wouldn't have to eat alone again. Yay for friends. We decided on Killer Poboys.

This is a awesome hole in the wall in the middle of the city. I ordered the lemongrass tofu. I think I should have gone with the other vegan option. but it was good. the staff was great, side note my omni friend went with an animal protien option and she said it was the best food she had on the trip. So this is a great option if you are traveling with death eaters.

Thanks for the tips. Heading to NOLA and I know what it’s like to eat alone. Death eaters, funny in a sad way.

Cauliflower poboy for the win!

I've stopped in 2x in 2 days and have tried the Cauliflower poboy and the Thai Tofu poboy. In my opinion, the cauliflower was the best. There's generally a lack of vegan options in the French Quarter, but this place makes up for that with 3 really solid sandwiches.

Ok yeah!

They have 3 vegan poboy options, plus a pecan butter and jelly sandwich. I tried the Thai BBQ Tofu Poboy and loved it! The tofu was downright delectable! Everything in it tasted great, the only issue was the slaw was too wet and made part of the bread gooey (ew). I also got to try the pecan butter and jelly sandwich. Do not sleep on this sandwich! It’s hearty and well balanced, 8/10 would recommend!

Pros: Several good vegan options, Tasty!, Reasonably priced

Cons: Slaw makes bread soggy
