"The Fat Man took a little jaunt south for a weekend in the Crescent City. I've been told that this is a foodie town, and I was excited to see what New Orleans had to offer—starting with Mahony's Po-boys Seafood. Mahoney's is an informal eatery offering a variety of Po-Boy sandwiches other Cajun-Creole grub, plus cocktails.@mahonyspoboys My friends and I decided to start with the Debris Fries, shredded cheddar, and roast beef debris gravy. We received Cheese fries made with house-cut fries, cheddar cheese, and pimento cheese queso. We were hungry and didn't mind, so we tried them. The fries could have used a little bit longer in the fryer as they were cooked slightly under, but they were salted well. The cheese is melted well, and you get an excellent pimento flavor in the queso with some heat on the back end. Our server came by and noticed the mistake, so they upgraded us to the debris gravy, simply pouring the gravy over the top. The roast beef was tender with great flavor; the gravy was rich with a good salt level. Everything worked well together. It was a small mistake that turned out to be great together. For my meal, I ordered the Fried Catfish Fillet Po-Boy, 10 , a cornmeal crusted Louisiana catfish filet on French bread with Braised collards as my side. The greens were tender with a good salt level but needed some pork for flavor. I found them a little bitter and needed some more vinegar. The bread and veggies were fresh, a good amount of mayo on the sandwich and the bread had a good chew but very soft. The bottom bun was a little soggy. The catfish had a great fresh taste but could have used another minute or two in the fryer. The breading was light with a great crunch on the outside for most of the sandwich but slightly mushy in the middle and bottom. It had flavor and tasted good, but a mess of a sandwich to eat as it fell apart when bitten into it. Mahony's serves plenty of NOLA favorites for starters and entrées, beer and a full bar. Their menu also offers two Po-boy Fest Award Winners. The service was fast, and the server was excellent. The Fat Man says that Mahony's Po-boys Seafood is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin."
