Quarter Grocery & Deli

Delightful little deli. Their fried shrimp po’boy is excellent!

Non de script place in the French Quarter. One stop shopping… po-​boys, food, groceries, alcohol, and cigarettes. They pretty much sell everything. The kids and I got a fried shrimp po-​boy, shrimp platter, cheesy fries and chicken tenders. All very good. Hubby had the red beans and rice and crawfish pie. Tasted very authentic. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. We will be back!

Did not disappoint! Steady stream of custlomers and we now know why. Catfish… excellent, redbeans n rice… excellent, french fries… excellent, my friend had blt poor boy and said it was… you guessed it, excellent! They were closing up when we came in, but were super nice and took care of us.

Ok, we came here the most during our trip for Po Boys. The Shrimp is delicious, the ham was tasty & turkey was good. The egg rolls are tasty & friendly service & patrons. Great bang for your buck with a lot of options. Enjoy

Randomly found this deli while trying to find a place to eat that was open at 8pm on a Saturday. I walked in and was overwhelmed by all the options. I didn’t know what po boy to order, especially since I already had fried food for lunch. The guy behind the counter and the other guy (who I assume was his son) were both super patient with me. I asked what they recommended (something not fried) and they suggested the New Orleans roast beef po boy.
After waiting a few minutes, I received my sandwich and it was so big considering the price for it. When I went to pay for it at the cashier, the son threw in a crawfish pie on the house.
The crawfish pie looks like an empanada and was warm and super delicious. I totally would come back to pay for another one. The po boy was stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes, and roast beef and was very flavorful… so good!

Maybe this is common in New Orleans but I was surprised to find that this little neighborhood grocery has very good sandwiches. It’s usefully close to the Best Western Landmark, and the have the usual little grocery stuff that you might need if you’re staying in a hotel and flew in.

What a great find. We’re staying at Hotel St Pierre, kitty-​corner from the store. Decided to stay in, and get dinner from the deli.
The crawfish pies were great, the fries were as good as others have commented, and my hot sausage po-​boy was great.

Yep, quite possibly the best fries ever. In addition, the prices for liquor are completely reasonable and they even cut up the limes we bought there for drink making! If your staying at The Hotel St. Pierre, or in the north part of the quarter, this is a perfect stop for a snack, bottled water, alcohol or sundries.

Found this small convenience store close similar to our 7 – 11 back home where they have your grocery needs for your hotel/​Inn stay. They have drinks, water, snacks, etc. It was not the cleanest place but it also had small aisles that will not fit many people. They even had a deli or hot foods stand in the back. The owners were asian and were pretty cool. The lady in front was not all smiles though. haha The man who was making all the food was really busy. All the hot foods were freshly done. Everything decently priced as well as the hot foods if you don’t want to go to Bourbon Street or restaurants.
The shrimp Po boy and warmed up New Orleans Roast Beef sandwiches were good. Their fries were good and crispy. You can also add their Creole seasoning on top for a little spice. I heard their chicken was good so I will try it next time I am around.
This place seems to be known to many locals and other out of town folks. I just missed this place on our way to the Inn as the front doors were all covered with bars. It was just dark outside that I didn’t think it was a grocery store. I barely noticed the ‘open’ sign outside. I am glad this was close by our place…

A good place if you’re not into spending a lot of money. I always get the BLT with extra mayonnaise and add pickles. And the French fries are the best ever.

I love places like this. It’s so unexpected. Other reviewers mention the fries as being so amazing. Yes they are correct. I really think these are the best fries I’ve had at any restaurant. They remind me of a much better version of Burger King fries.
For po’ boys, I’ve only had the fried catfish but it’s real good. I only ate half of it because with the fries, it’s quite filling. I then had it cold the next day and I was just as happy with it. I had this the first night I was in New Orleans and then again, on one of the last nights I was here. This was the only place we went to twice. It was worth it.

Small grocery with a deli serving quick and cheap po boys, burgers, sandwiches, crawfish pies, meat pies, chicken wings, chicken tenders, meat gumbo, red beans, seafood platters (no oysters), salads and their famous fries. The crawfish pies are probably my favorite thing here and the fries are alright along with being a huge portion size. This is a take out only place as there is no seating inside or outside.

I had the red beans and rice and catfish. The red beans and rice were pretty good, although I liked the red beans and rice I had at Zea Rotisserie and Grill better. Zea’s red beans were super flavorful and had little chunks of sausage, whereas the Quarter’s didn’t and didn’t have the same bold flavor.
The catfish was not good. The batter itself tasted very fishy and the pieces were chewy.
My friend got a catfish Po boy, and they definitely skimped on the toppings. They gave her one tomato slice and one pickle for the whole sandwich. She said the Po boy itself was good though.

This place around the corner from our hotel made some really good po boys. I had both the chicken tender and the fried shrimp po boy and they were both really good because the bread was fresh and quality. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

I’m a hole in the wall kind of gal so this was on my radar. My biggest issue was what to order, then some guy called in a catfish poboy fully dressed and gumbo, why not? I ordered, rushed it back to the room, ate, fell in love… the rest is history. YES! Oh, and the guys who work there are really nice. But bring cash if you can help it.

After another food filled day in New Orleans, we were on the hunt for another quick, convenient, take out spot where we could find some un-​fried food. After looking at reviews on Unilocal we learned that the Quarter Grocery & Deli was near us and served what we were looking for.
We ordered a ham and turkey po boy to split, some potato chips, and salsa. The man preparing the food was very friendly and offered us suggestions of where else to eat while visiting New Orleans. One of the spots he recommended was «Eat» right around the corner from this place and the other was near or in Harrah’s that served up oysters in a way that you can’t get them anywhere else. I can’t remember what it was called which is a bummer, but you could always go back in with that description and ask!
The po boy was prepared quickly and made well. The bread was great, the quality of the meats and cheese were good. He asked what other add-​ins we wanted like lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, pickles, etc. We got all of those and it made for a great po boy. One was more than enough for us to split. This place is a good stop if you’re looking for a quick take out spot where you can pretty much make whatever po boy you want with the ingredients they display on their main menu.

The Quarter Grocery & deli located at the corner of Burgundy & Dumaine street makes the best po’boys on the planet.
As a matter of fact everything they serve in this tiny little Quarter Grocery shack, is freakin food porn fantastic creole crack.
Lunch, dinner or snack, a heavenly addiction that will keep you coming back! LOL
There is no place in the Vieux Carré that comes even close.
My mum was from Nola. I was born in this beautiful city & I have spent a good part of my life here. When I come home to Nola the first place I want to go is the Quarter Grocery. When I am not in Nola I dream of the Quarter Grocery’s food porn :)…
The owner Cindy, her Brother Boc & very sweet & extremely talented daughter Liz do all the cooking. I don’t know what voodoo they do back there or how, but you need to get a taste of the Boc & Liz show. They are truly blessed by the food Gods.
Quarter Grocery & deli serves their po’boys on super fresh alligator-​back loaves of crispy, thin-​crusted New Orleans French bread baked by G.H. Leidenheimer Baking Co. The only way to have a po’boy ;)
I don’t know how they get their french fries to taste the way they do but they are super crispy on the outside & like creamy mashed potatoes on the inside. Amazballs.
The shrimp & catfish batter they make is so light if you toss it up in the air it turns into sunshine. I would cut my pinky off for them to teach me how they make that batter.
The Quarter Grocery & deli is located in the French Quarter. However, it’s in a quiet residential neighborhood far from the touristy areas. If you didn’t know it was there you would probably never find it. The best way to get there is just to walk. However, the Canal streetcar stops on Burgundy St. You can easily get off on Burgundy & walk 9 blocks over & your there.
There are no tables inside or outside. You walk to the back of the store, order your food from Liz & Boc, grab your drinks/​beer out of the cooler & you wait for them to make your food fresh. Within mins you are served fresh made, piping hot food blessed by the Creole Gods of Vieux Carré.
On your way out you stop by the register in the front to pay. Cindy will also hook you up with ketchup & other condiments if you like while she bags your magnificently smelling creole grub :)‘
Hopefully, unlike my hubby, you will make it the three steps out the door b4 you stuff half of it in your pie hole & wear the other half on your shirt like a badge of honor.
For civilized people make a right out the door, in a couple blocks you will find yourself in Louis Armstrong park. A perfect place to savor this bewitching creole Quarter Grocery lagniappe.
If you have never been to the Quarter Grocery & deli at the corner of what we call the «vampire crossing» in Vieux Carré you need to get the lead out & get on over. There is some supernatural tasty voodoo going on up in this place that’s gona have your tastebuds spellbound!
Bön appetit!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!

BEST DARN FRIES IN THE QUARTER, THE CBD, THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, MARIGNWATER… Now although I love a good Montréal poutine slathered in chili & curd, and Texas’s Whataburger fries dipped in their delicious house branded ketchup (it’s cut with steak sauce); for me Quarter Grocery’s frites, on a condiment-​less unadorned basis, are the absolute best.
SLAP!!! «THOSE’RE MINE!» when I mistook another’s order for my own.
THICK, CRISPY CRUST, CREAMY INSIDE, and over half a pound cost just $ 2.59!!!
(& THE CRAWFISH PIES ARE SO GOOD, that I even have friends from Abbeville who insist on at least 3 or 4 every trip.)

Love me some Quarter Grocery… quaint local store but the hidden gem is the grill in the back! (11am-​9pm). Now I’ve been coming to NOLA several times throughout the year for YEARS! All I can say is I wish they opened earlier and stayed open later when I’m there (hahaha Bak is going to kill me).
They have an extensive menu and I’ve been going here for years! Can’t begin to tell you how much I love their food. Now I’ve not tried everything but what I have has been FREAKEN FANTASTIC!
PoBoy’s — chicken tender, hot link, hamburger, bacon cheese burger, french fry and roast beef.
Plates (w/​fries DON’T forget their fries YUMMM!) — chicken tender, chicken wings, red beans & rice, hot links.
Their food is not made until you order it! So it’s served PIPING HOT! can’t wait to get back during Easter to make my visit! Quarter Grocery… I’ll be seeing you guys soon!

Day 4 of hotel living in the French Quarter-​all three credit cards were smoking and our eyes starting to glaze from endless restaurant overload and miles of walking. The idea of standing in line again on Friday night was just too much. Thank heaven for Quarter Grocery! Two po’boys and some Zapp’s added to the leftover sandwich from lunch at Praline Connection, and we had us a fine hotel courtyard picnic! The club and roast beef were so good we went back today and got shrimp and Philly cheesesteak. The meats are all good, and the bread is crispy without shattering or cutting your mouth. And they’re a bargain-​12″ long, and all under $ 8! My friend got a really good double hamburger for less than $ 5.
The store is in the quietest corner of the Quarter, and it was a relief to walk right up to the counter and order. Not being a local, I can’t say how the selection of grocery and household stuff compares to the other stores in the neighborhood, but the staff are friendly and they have a good selection of beverages-​boy was I happy to learn I can buy one bottle of Abita (can’t do that in KC!) for $ 2! Now that’s culture shock I like!
