Reviews Summary
Wardo's Poboys is celebrated for its authentic New Orleans-style Po' Boys, especially the roast beef and fried shrimp options, all served on genuine Italian bread. Diners rave about the friendly and attentive staff, the cozy atmosphere, and the unique experience of watching food preparation from the counter seats. While the Po' Boys and desserts like the white chocolate bread pudding are standout favorites, some find other sides like red beans and rice less remarkable. The limited seating is a minor consideration for this highly recommended local gem.
"The Po Boys here are delicious! They use authentic Italian bread from New Orleans and the flavors are amazing! Great staff, super friendly.
Tried this place again, this time for dinner. Po Boy was great, as expected! Dined in and sat at the back where there is some seating right in front of where they prepare the sandwiches. It was fun to watch and smell all the delicious food while waiting for our sandwiches."

"While passing through Natchez, we thoroughly enjoyed this gem of an eatery! We sat at the bar overlooking the food preparation area. This area was clean and well organized. The staff was very attentive, friendly and hospitable. We love to support locally owned businesses. We ordered the ham poboy; best we’ve had! We will be back. Keep up the awesome work 😊"
