But in New Orleans, this prized sandwich is known as the po’boy, and it’s been a favorite meal for New Orleanians for over a century. There are plenty of places to grab a decent po’boy in the city, but for one of the best roast beef po’boys you’ve ever had, you’ve got to make your way over to Metairie where you’ll find the beloved R & O’s Restaurant, a favorite spot for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a casual space.
