Delis near Hammond

“As a helicopter pilot, I’ve had the privilege of covering a lot of ground (and water) in my search for the perfect shrimp poboy. From the bayous of Louisiana to the beaches of the Gulf Coast, I’ve tried them all. And yet, not a single one has come close to what Ryan’s Deli serves up.

Let’s start with the bread—because any true poboy lover knows that’s where the magic begins. Ryan’s nails it: a perfect balance of crispiness on the outside with an impossibly soft interior that cradles the shrimp like it was made just for it. And the shrimp? They don’t skimp. This thing is overflowing with perfectly seasoned, crispy, and fresh shrimp that taste like they just came out of the Gulf. Every bite is pure perfection.

Ryan’s Deli isn’t just making poboys; they’re setting the gold standard. If you haven’t been, go. If you have been, you already know. No matter how far I fly, I always find my way back here for the best shrimp poboy that has ever existed.“

“Ppl hating on doos but besides them forgetting to put my boiled eggs in with order I’ve always like the shrimp box and the crawfish,shrimp and crab legs…hate that they seem to fallen off 🤷‍♂️“
