What people say, in short
Frady's is a Bywater corner spot people recommend for budget-friendly plates and po'boys, with the shrimp, oyster, roast beef, turkey and meatball versions all getting a nod. Diners describe it as an old-school, low-key place with a daily plate with several choices. One visitor had an off day with the oyster po'boy, and another notes it is cash only.
