Listen up, Chicago: if you haven’t been to Daisy’s Po’Boy, you’re doing life wrong. This place doesn’t just serve food; it serves magic wrapped in toasted bread.
The staff? Oh, they’re a whole vibe. Jesse there is so funny! They’re so friendly and helpful. They’ll help you choose your po'boy (which, let’s be real, is hard because everything looks amazing), and you’ll leave feeling like you just made some new friends in the process.
And don’t even think about skipping the fried green tomatoes. Highly recommend it. Can’t wait to go back!

So far I’ve had the fried oyster po-boy, the fried catfish po-boy, and the blackened cauliflower. The other reviews weren’t lying when they said the food didn’t seem hot enough. They were fine. Flavor was pretty good, but for some reason every item was not as hot as I feel like they should be. Also, asking for a tip on the machine when you pay, which is before ANY service or food has been provided, should be illegal.

Nice lunch spot!

Meh! Daisy's is just okay. The flavor of the shrimp and alligator is good. However, the food is always lukewarm which is a pet peeve. I also don't understand why the alligator is cut in thin strips. This causes you to lose the flavor of the meat because it's overshadowed by the breading. I must have repressed the memory of the gumbo because this is the second time I've ordered it and it wasn't good. Tastes like seafood in gravy. I had to bring it home and doctor it up. As someone who visits NOLA a lot, the gumbo is not it. So disappointing. The employees are generally nice, however.

Good food, music and atmosphere. I'm from the N. O. and I found the food here well made. The staff was very accommodating too.

I had the grilled chicken sandwich and it was not good. No seasoning, touch and the chicken definitely was not cooked fresh. Most importantly to add, the chicken made me sick and I threw it up. Would not recommend.

The cocktails are great. The food is... just ok. The quality and seasoning of the protein (I tried fish and shrimp) are great, but the bread and other toppings are horrible. It's basic cheap white bread that gets soggy really fast. And they won't do any substitutions - I hate mayo and wanted my sandwich with remoulade, and apparently that's impossible.

Me and my husband ate here today for lunch. it was a 10/10 the service was perfect and that also goes for the food and atmosphere. This is my second time here and both times have been amazing. Definitely will be on the top list for date nights (:

I had originally planned to get the Po Boy, but a gentleman in a nearby bookstore had recommended the muffuletta. Glad I took his recommendation because the sandwich was great! It did just feel pretty pricey for half a sandwich at a casual restaurant.
