    I used to love this place when we first tried it. However, the fried oyster poboy I got during my most recent trip still had pieces of oyster shells in it! I was very disappointed when I took a bite and almost chipped a tooth! The cooks at this place need to do a better job in extracting the oysters from their shells or else it may end up a lawsuit!

    Other than that incident, the rest of my poboy was okay. It seemed a little dry than normal; it needed more remoulade. Also, after having Parkway's poboys, I am no longer a fan of the bread that Zimmers' uses. It didn't have that nice crunch I longed for.

    Overall, this place is not bad if you're going for the size of the poboy, but they've jacked up their prices and now I don't think it's worth going to anymore.

    I really only have two words. MARINATED Crabs. Honestly they're like nothing you've ever had, worth every penny, and just simply addictive. The marinated crawfish is a decent go to as well.

    Great food but the business isn't another more than a Seafood Market which capitalize on the location, local university.  The seasonings were fantastic on all of their products and the staff are more mature and willing to help anyone who comes in.  I would highly recommend these Mom and Pop Market / Cookery.

    I discovered this neighborhood gem from a story in the online edition of the Times Picayune newspaper. Todd Price wrote how Charleen and Craig Zimmer have run the shop since 1980 and how it is hugely popular among locals.

    The shop is known for its fried crab poboys and for its boiled crafwish, so we ordered a couple of the poboys, outfitted with bread from the John Gendusa around the corner, the company that provided the bread for the original New Orleans poboys.

    Both the sandwiches and the crawfish were excellent. The staff was friendly despite the crowd of customers that came into the takeout shop.
