Poboys Shrimp Shack

I’m sad to be the poo poo this but the service and food were terrible. This is probably the most overrated restaurant on Unilocal.The shrimp was not fresh and everything had clearly been frozen and just reheated. I dint know if they changed management since the other reviews but I would avoid this place as there are plenty of other good places in Naples.

This place is fantastic. The Burgers are the real deal. Tonight I’ll be trying the shrimp, Can’t wait!

I can’t stop thinking about the boom boom sandwich! And I had a great and friendly sever!

This place was quaint and a little gem. The food was great and I would definitely be back. The bang bang shrimp tastes just like bonefish grill. The flavors were spot on. The onion rings were crispy perfection and didn’t suffer from the breaking sliding off the onion problem. They have flat panel tvs throughout which would make this a great spot to watch sports.

This place is fantastic.
I have not been that crazy about the dining options here in Naples, but this place really rocked.
I had the Boom Boom Shrimp Poboy and it was simply amazing. The shrimp were good sized and plentiful, the flavoring was so good I just couldn’t get enough.
The bread was good, but not authentic (but it’s hard to replicate New Orleans bread)
I had a mix of fries and onion rings, they were ok, but not on par with the sandwich.
Looking forward to returning.

I have had «Poboys» bookmarked for quite sometime. Mrs. K. and I stopped in for lunch. I had the «blackened shrimp po boy». Every time I took a bite of food my mind was just telling quick eat another bite. Plenty of shrimp served on a hoagie roll with a side order of homemade hand cut french-​fries. Both just outstanding.
This restaurant is a mom and pop operation. When Mrs. K. and I were there it was a one man operation. Owner, server, and wondered it he was cooking also but did not see him actually cooking. So some people might not cut him slack but it was off season and I am sure he was in survival mode.
I wanted to come back for one more visit before we came home but it was not in the cards. Mrs. K. had the fish and chips and I had a bite. Awesome. I so wanted to try the fish and chips but that must wait till my next trip in the fall.

Amazing for a bite after the beach! Casual atmosphere, friendly service, and clean! The buffalo shrimp Po-​Boy is full of big juicy shrimp and just the right kick! Crusty bread, big juicy tomatoes, perfect breading, and to die for shrimp!

Fish was not fresh, very mushy and over cooked. Blackened fish tasted like season dealt with a bit of fennel. Way over priced for the quality, or lack thereof. Service was fast & friendly though.

Had a fabulous BBQ shrimp po boy sandwich here the other day. When I pulled up to the place, I could see smoke billowing out from the side of the building. The smell was nostalgic and drew me in right away.
For ten bucks I got a monster of a sandwich that probably had about 10 – 12 good size shrimp. Lightly battered and the flavor was more like hot wing sauce than BBQ… got it with the onion rings. They REALLY love their onion rings down here in southwest Florida!!! These were more battered than the ones I had the night before at Steamers, but the onion slices themselves were thicker as well.
I’m definitely going to try and make it back here one more time before we leave paradise and head back to the freezing cold that is Chicago winters. I definitely recommend eating here as opposed to Randy’s which is right down the street.

For some reason the Poboy I had tasted like anise… besides that there was no flavor to it and same with the grouper platter. It was pretty crowded and there were only two servers who kept disappearing. The food took way too long to come out. How long does it take to put a side salad together?! They tell you to seat yourself which is fine but hey thanks for being aware enough to tell me that but then not come over to the table for ten minutes while I sit there with nothing (not even a menu). We literally had to ask the people next to us if we could look at one of theirs. Oh and when the waitress finally came over she didn’t even bring menus with her! I’Im just saying it’s cheap comparatively to the other restaurants in Naples but we still spent $ 40 and it would be nice to feel like it was worth it but it wasn’t at all. Ps I got a soda and it arrived with the straw already in the cup with no paper on it. If the restaurant looked a little cleaner this wouldn’t bother me but if and when you go here you’ll understand why it grossed me out.
I’m giving them two stars because they all seem like genuinely nice people… They should just stop serving dinner. They have the look and feel of a lunch place and to be honest I probably wouldn’t be so critical if I was going here for lunch, its really laid back and lively but its just doesn’t have the right vibe or food for dinner. Pretty much everything on their menu sounds more like something you’d eat for lunch. The platters seem like an over priced after thought.

Cheap, fun, tasty.
Its affordable tasty food in Naples area. Not the most upscale but does the trick.

Who would of known a good place was in a strip mall. It located across from the Trader Joes of Naples.
I had the blacken shrimp po boy with onion rings. Fresh shrimp and tasty. Onion Rings were great. Lightly batter and crispy. Done right.
Staff excellent attitude and quick.
2 quirky thing 1&5 dollar bills hanging from the ceiling.
Redneck salt and pepper shakers. Made from SOB corona bottle :-)…
Not fancy just real good food. So make this a destination before or after Trader Joes.

We went here last night for dinner. 5.50 for my shrimp po boy. 3.50 for a plate of fresh cut homade fries loaded with cheese, sour cream, chili, real bacon, and jalapenos. It easily fed 2 people. 5.99 for a kids meal. It comes out in a cute little car like steak-​and-​shake and it INCLUDES a shake or soft drink. Deal! If you don’t want to eat heavy they offer salads that are quite large. The owner came out to our table and was very nice. Can’t wait to come back and try the 13.95 all you can eat fish special. GREAT VALUE– GREAT QUAILTY!

They get 5 stars just for their onion rings from me. I grew up loving The Varsity in Atlanta, GA and they will always be the standard-​bearer for onion rings in my life. Poboys style is very similar with a the perfect crunch and flavor.
It is a shack, it is in a stip mall, but it is a very clean/​organized shack with excellent prices. They do fried food, and they do fried food right. I just have to be careful of making it a habit lest I accelerate the clogging of my arteries.

I decided to give Poboys a try from seeing some reviews on Unilocal.I brought my parents in to try it out. My father and I had the all you can eat fish for 10.99 and my mother got the all you can eat shrimp for 10.99. The food came out quickly and was fresh from the fryer. The fish was cooked perfectly, the beer batter was delicious and the french fries are hand cut. They give you 2 huge pieces of fish — Which was Haddock by the way. (This was a big plus for me since it is hard to find in restaurants in the south.) My mothers shrimp was great too. They give you a lot to start with. We all got 2nds which was way too much for all of us. They give you 2 more pieces of fish and a bowl of shrimp.
2 reviews that were on Unilocal almost deterred me from going to Poboys — and I am glad I disregarded them. One stated the food was too greasy. This lady obviously has not had fried food before because that is what happens when you put something in a fryer! What else would you expect? The other guy complained about his 2^nd round of shrimp having only 7 shrimp, and they were in a bowl. Any place that offers all you can eat are going to ration out your portions so they don’t waste, especially seafood. Simply ask for more when you are done. I am glad I didn’t heed the warning of these 2 brainiacs because I would have missed out on a great place to eat. Will be coming back here again to try one of the poboys and fried pickles!

My first time here and definitely will be back next time I am in Naples! Ordered the boom boom shrimp po boy and conch fritters to take to the beach! It was the best lunch ever — the sauce on the sandwich was so flavorful and had a nice kick but not spicey. Conch fritters were amazing not doughey and very flavorful! The dipping sauce was also very tasty and flavorful.

Had lunch here today – the beer battered fried fish, fries and onion rings.
First the pluses: it’s a cute, casual place and the waitress was very friendly and good natured. Service was quick.
The bad news: the food was just so so soooo greasy. All of it. Grease just oozing out of the fish batter, which probably would have been good, cooked to a golden brown, if it weren’t so damned greasy!
I might consider going back for a sandwich but as for anything fried? FORGET IT!

Wow, great daily specials. If I lived in Naples I would eat here everyday.
Great job guys.

I’m not a local, and I have only been here once. I have a feeling this may turn into a 5 star place for me. I was very impressed. It’s very casual, but you get fresh made food. You can get carry out or can eat in and be waited on. A good portion of there menu consist of Po’boy items that are basically like a sub sandwich (
). They also offer all you can eat specials for fish, shrimp, a combo, or ribs.

If you are expecting great fried products, this is the place! I ordered fish and chips and a fried shrimp Po Boy with onion rings. Both were exactly what I wanted, light crisp battter and a good portion! The onion rings were battered in house and were light and very tasty. The chips were also made in house. Nothing like good fresh cut fries! The place was clean and people very friendly. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Plus they have all you can eat fish, shrimp and ribs!
