What people say, in short
Guy's Po-Boys is recommended for its shrimp po-boy, with one diner saying it always hits and another naming it a last-meal pick. One commenter describes it as a hole-in-the-wall spot where the food is the whole point, and it comes up as a lunch stop and a place to take someone for New Orleans food. On price, one commenter says it runs a little more than average but is really good, while another places it below the city's priciest po-boy shops.

Calls it a hole-in-the-wall where the food is the entire draw, so it has to be good.
