“Great crawfish!! kids love it!!“

“Best crawfish on the Northshore from the best people in the south!!!“

“Picked up a shrimp poboy tonight and it was the best I’ve had in a long time. Even the bread was legit. Will definitely be back.“

“This is probably only my 6th time eating here, but I really wanted to take a minute to give this place some praise. Since they don’t have a comment/survey option, a (public) google review will suffice and perhaps help to bring more people to other door. I do hope this business finds great success as I believe it is well-deserved. I am beyond impressed with a fast food chain for “Louisiana” food that can actually produce really delicious versions of my down-home favorites. Although dining out (even fast food) is a bit out of my budget most of the time these days, I do find them to be reasonably priced. Additionally, the staff at my Hammond location has also been so very courteous and friendly every time. And, they really are FAST food, but it is real food, real beef, real fish, and shrimp and sausage, actual quality ingredients, not just processed mush shaped to pretend to be real food. So far, I’ve tried and can recommend their fried catfish, French fries, hush puppies, homemade onion rings, hot roast beef poboy, red beans and rice, and their gumbo. Each of these items could stand head to head with my other local eateries’ versions, but what is extra surprising is that they have pulled this off in a drive thru chain restaurant format. Kudos to the founders and kudos to your Hammond staff! Thanks for the yum!

Dietary restrictions: As much as I’m impressed with this place, since google asked, their dishes can be too salty for my very salt-sensitive (& medically restricted) father’s palette. However, I do not share that opinion.
Also, in case you’re not from Louisiana and reading this review, I generally don’t think of Louisiana food as being super friendly to dietary restrictions, but I haven’t reviewed this establishment’s menu options with this question in mind.

Parking: Typical fast food drive thru parking here with the row of parking spots around the building in a rectangle lot.“

“Ej was a friendly and great sever“

“If you are wondering if you should ever check this place out, ask yourself these three questions.
1. Do you like potatoes and/or poboys?
2. Do you like being hungry?
3. Do you like affordability?

If you answered yes to #1 great they have so many great and unique options to choose from! If you answered no to #2, that's great because this place will leave you Stuffed! for sure after your done. The experience made me a couch potato! Haha. The best part is if you answered yes to #3, then you gotta check them out! For everything you get, you will still have enough left over to get some dessert. So grab your keys and start heading their way!“

“Our first trip there. The food was delicious. I had fried catfish with fried rice. It was cooked perfectly. My sister had fried shrimp with sweet potato fries. Again cooked to perfection. Whitney was our server. She was so attentive. We wanted oysters, but they were out until later today. The have fresh shucked oyster's. We definitely will get them next trip. The owner Miss Sara came an talked to us about our experience. They all made us feel like we were important to them. Some places make you feel like a bother. Not here. The price for the amount of food was incredible too. Can't wait till next time. Thank y'all so much.“

“PICKY EATER ALERT! so we ordered the shrimp/snow crab bag( came with corn, potato, sausage, boiled egg) and ordered it with sauces mixed. (Cajun, garlic butter,lemon pepper) OMG SOOOOOOOO GOOD. well seasoned, hot and prepared exactly the way I ordered. Hubby got the shrimp/fish basket, came with fries. crispy fries seasoned. fish and shrimp flavorful, hot and a good quantity. Clean restaurant ✔ friendly employees ✔ great food ✔ = returning customers!“

“We went to the restaurant today for the first time with a group of 9 people. We had 3 children, one of whom is a special needs child. Adeline was our server. She was so helpful with our ordering and with our service. The food was exceptional. We highly recommend this restaurant, and next year, when we return, we are planning on eating there again.“

“Red beans and rice with fried chicken Smothered cabbage and cornbread was awesome and to top it off strawberry shortcake 😍 so delicious.“

“😃The fried oysters where perfectly done, not something you find in a lot of seafood place.“

“We are forever customers! Not only is the food amazing and the staff top notch, East of Italy goes out of their way to accommodate guest. We wanted to book a party and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Our son’s celebration was everything and more. We haven’t had a meal we didn’t like. The food is always fresh and ANY type of bread from here is heaven sent! I“

“Get the wings! The menu has something for everyone!“

“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.“

““Great food,great service,great people!! Definitely a “come back to” restaurant!!”“

“The food is subpar, especially for Hammond.“
