Just DONT Do It
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

My family and I went to Mothers because of several recommendations we received including the Hotel we were staying in. All we wanted was authentic po'boys at a decent price....First of all we waited outside in the hottest of hot weather for nearly 30 minutes. The inside of Mothers is definately a "hole in the wall" type of restaurant with cafeteria styled seating. We waited another 15-20 minutes to order. We ordered 4 shrimp po'boys, 2 sides of fries, and 4 sodas....When the cashier told us the total we nearly passed out....EIGHTY DOLLARS!!!! For sandwiches and fries....We went to more upscale restuarants with waiters who catered to your every want for less than 80 bucks. The food was decent but I wouldn't go back. I don't recommend for anyone to go unless you want a dent in your wallet.

Pros: Decent Food

Cons: No Parking, Long Wait, Expensive Food

Editor's Review

The perfect po'boy is worth the wait at this cafeteria-style deli.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Mother's ain't roomy. The lunch line stretches out the door and down the block, so come early--or late.
