Frady's One Stop Food Store

Stopped here today for lunch and this is a diamond in the Bywater neighborhood. The staff we interacted with were super friendly and you could tell that they invest in their customers many walking in and they already knew what their order would be. Got there just in time before the heavy lunch crowd hit. We ordered 2 Po-Boys, shrimp and meatball. Both were sooooo good! We also tried the tiniest muffuletta sandwich I have ever seen. It was very good, despite its small size it was still packed with flavor! Love to support long-standing local businesses like this.

Great po boys. So friendly inside, this sort of place is a keystone of its community.
But they welcomed us as tourists and made a lot of recommendations.
We have tried a few of the rolls, our favourite is the smoked or spicy sausage. But you can’t go wrong with any choice here.

Tip- if the weathers nice, walk to the river and eat your sandwiches there.

Ohhh, Frady's...how I love thee! Nestled in the heart of the Bywater, Frady's has been going strong for over 50 years and it's not hard to see (or taste) why.

A truly locals spot but of course the secret starts to slip out over time. The decision on what to order is nearly impossible but on my recent visit I had the half shrimp po-boy and a small red beans & rice (it was Monday after all.) Both were just perfect with a dash of Crystal. The service is so friendly as well, you'll feel like a local as soon as you walk in the door.

This is mainly a to-go spot but there are about five tables outside which fill quickly during breakfast/lunch. You can always take your food to the park a block away too!

There are daily specials, extensive list of po-boys, meat & three sides (amazing), various ice cream sandwiches/cones in the cooler, various bottled drinks, etc. etc.

They note they are "home to the grumpy old man breakfast, po-boys, lunch specials & groceries." I can say, you might be grumpy when you enter but you sure won't be grumpy when you leave!

Love Po’boys
Love Shrimp.
Love bringing both together at Frady’s!
Fantastic sub! Love your feature on Netflix’s Show ….

We went here for our po boy sandwiches and wish we had more time to come back to try their all day breakfast and lunch menu - it all sounded and looked great. The store was packed with locals and the staff were super friendly helping us decide what to get. We had the shrimp and roast beef for lunch and couldn’t eat dinner after that! Only two blocks from crescent park, pick up a po boy, walk to the park and enjoy some local food with a great view! The neighbourhood is brilliant to walk around and explore too!

I had heard a lot about this place, so my expectations were pretty high. It did not disappoint. The roast beef po boy was the best i've ever had in my life for a mere $10. The atmosphere is amazingly funky and fun. The people were very friendly. Sitting outside eating their food in the Bywater was a revelation. Can't wait to go back for the $7 breakfast. Tomorrow.

Awesome local spot for po-boys. Take to go or eat at tables right outside.

The half lo-boy on French is huge, (what I’d call a full sandwich). We asked for a recommendation on what to order, and shrimp and Louisiana sausage po-boys were both delicious

Amazing Po’boy sandwiches! Exceptional service from the restaurant owners! We will definitely be back!

Why did the Chicken cross the road? For Frady’s Hamburgers, Fries & Coca Cola oh my! Frady’s is known for one of the best shrimp poboys in the city but the Hamburger is top notch! Never be over done by the fast food guys, this Bywater hole in the wall holds the flame on the competition!

Such a great little hidden secret!! Their daily hot plates are so good. They will gladly mix and match the sides and give you whatever portions you want. So cool! They’ve also got great po boys and muffulettas. And they are the friendliest people in town. Just don’t tell anyone about this place please.

Very good Roast Beef Po-Boy!!

I Approve!

Love this hidden gem/local spot!!!

Got the poboy hot link and catfish poboy…potatoe sald and mini bun sand!!!
Staff are fun and polite, local crowd were fun and helpful with tips and such for Marci gras parade!!
Highly recommended

One of the few old school corner stores that keep it real. Cash only; if you can see over the counter you can buy a tall boy; & crumby AC. I hope this place never changes.

Such a great spot! We were driving through on our way to Cresent Park and made a split second decision to stop when we saw the sign(and line!). Best decision ever! The catfish poboy and Mac and cheese were amazing and the people are the nicest and so patient with the amount of people in there.

Excellent mom & pop market and sandwich shop. Very friendly employees and excellent sandwiches. Got a whole Roast Beef Po Boy in French bread and a whole Muffuletta. The roast beef was lean, tender, and very juicy. The Roast Beef PO Boy was perfect and the best we've ever had. The Muffuletta was also perfect and better than those from the Central Grocery, which claims to be the originator in Jackson Square. Frady's is definitely worth the short bus ride to the 9th Ward. After we got our sandwiches, we walked the short distance to Crescent Park to eat on a table by the Mississippi. Cash Only.

Unique, small grocery store/poboy spot in the Bywater neighborhood. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They have great all day poboys with fresh ingredients. Breakfast is made fresh and they have a great choice of drinks. You can sit outside but no room inside for seats.

Where to begin?! A Bywater GEM. Went above and beyond for us and a large order for our wedding down the street. Even left us a note of congratulations after. It’s a perfect Po Boy, a perfect spot and truly genuine customer service. Thank you Frady’s!

Friendly family run joint with a lot of character and delicious food! Best shrimp oyster po boy ever.

Great poboys. Good price and quick service. Really friendly atmosphere with seating outside. Good pit stop for lunch

Loved this place. Super-friendly people and great Po' Boys and Muffalettas. If you do like we did and try eating the Roast Beef Po' Boy in the car, buy a roll of paper towels. It's messy delicious. The Muffaletta was enormous and also delicious.
