Superior Seafood is on the St. Charles Streetcar line, a quick ride from the Quarter. Superior’s menu incorporates the best of local seafood, po boys, plates, and fresh catch, with beef, chicken and pasta available for those who partake in those edibles. It’s moderately priced ($10 – $25), is happy to toss you a loaf of Leidenheimer’s to start with, is open for lunch and dinner seven days, with brunch service Sunday mornings.
My companion is a local, as local as you can get, her family having arrived in 1750, and she had a hankering for a shrimp po-boy and said Superior was the one for her. I ordered a half with fries, she ordered a whole one and said I’d regret my diminutive order. Which I did. She said she’d share, but she lied.
It’s one delicious sandwich, and they had outstanding coffee as well.
Classic cocktails run $8-$12, and they have a happy hour daily from 4:00 – 6:30, the highlight of which is 50 cent raw oysters, a bargain these days. Wine list is respectable and value-priced.
They do catering, including crawfish boils.
