Terrebonne Po-Boys and Desserts 805 Vermont
Alligator Po-Boy with seasoned fries... $9
Type of restaurant: Lunch carvout
ryout
**Overall star rating:** 4 out of 5
**Signature dish:** Po-Boys, $7-$8
**Tastes like:** Buffalo Bob's mixed with New Orleans Cajun flavor
**Price range:** $2.75-$8
**What I ate:** Take one: Alligator Po-Boy with Seasoned Fries, $9; Take two: Gourmet Grilled Cheese with pesto and roasted red peppers, $4.95
and of course, po-boys
The po-boy is a sandwich that has a spicy Cajun sauce and lettuce on it. Usually they have some kind of seafood on them. The food is made-to-order, so there is waiting time involved.
The pleasant employees take the time to chat with guests while making their meals, and although there is one table where guests can eat, it seems most take their meals on-the-go. The restaurant is open for lunch during the week and lunch and dinner on the weekends.
Review: Terrebonne does a different take on traditional lunch. Since almost all its food is carryout, guests walk In and order at the counter from a diverse menu of homemade soups and salads, sandwiches, barbecue
The po-boy tasted just as expected: delicious alligator, with a strong seasoning, but not too much bite. The alligator basically tastes like fried chicken, only a bit chewier.
The grilled cheese was a pleasant surprise because of the pesto and pepper flavoring. Their homemade desserts are always changing.
Terrebonne Bo-Po-Boys and Desserts, 805 Vermont, is a nontraditional to-go restaurant offering a diverse menu. It specializes in Cajun-flavored po-boys.
Terrebonne is also a great value because some sides, such as
chips and pickles, are included.
This restaurant would make a great pick for anyone looking to have a value gourmet lunch on the run.
