If you ask 20 different Louisianians where to get the best roast beef po’boy in Louisiana, you’ll get 20 different answers. Sure, there are the iconic po’boy restaurants in New Orleans like Parkway Tavern, Crabby Jack’s, and Domilise’s, but there are also some delicious po’boys outside of the Crescent City, like Darrell’s in Lake Charles or Dempsey’s in Baton Rouge.  If you find yourself in St. Tammany Parish with the hankering for one of Louisiana’s most famous sandwiches, then you need to make your way over to Bear’s Restaurant, where you’ll find one of the best roast beef po’boys in Louisiana.

You’ll find Bear’s in a rather unassuming parking lot in the heart of Covington, Louisiana.
