Griffin's Poboy Shoppe

Stopped by on a cold weeknight and was excited to try Griffin’s. Food came out really quickly and the waitress was delightful, gave recommendations and very attentive. I could see this being a haven for travelers who have been on the road for hours, especially with it being inside the gas station. Ordered the seafood gumbo, crab soup, green beans and blackened catfish. The food was hot and fresh, however a few things were noticeable—the gumbo tasted great, but the rice in the gumbo was undercooked and a bit tough, the cream of crab needs some more salt/flavoring and was essentially half and half with crab, greens felt very overcooked. I realize I also went an hour before closing and would be open to trying again—probably also should’ve just stuck to a po’boy. Overall food was good for an area with hardly any options outside of fast-food chains and I’d go again.

This place has good down home cooking! We had the shrimp stew which was on special every Friday! It's very good and you should give it a try..Rayna was our server and she was absolutely wonderful and pleasant! We also had the bacon wrapped shrimp which were pretty good 😊

Rayna took very good care of us. We walked in about 20 minutes before they closed and she didn’t make us feel rushed at all, actually made us feel very welcomed. In addition, the food we had was fantastic. The bread pudding was amazing. My only regret is getting the bread putting before my food… I barely had any room to enjoy my poboy!

Most of their food is good. I've had the platters and some of the daily specials but where they really shine is their Friday specials. The seafood gumbo with a side of potato salad is one of the best I've eaten in Louisiana. The staff is usually busy but with staff shortages all over Louisiana right now, they have found a good team of customer service oriented people. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is some flavors I am still getting used to and an example would be the Cajun cream sauce over pasta. Its good but I'm not quite there yet.
