Poor Boys - West Sacramento

I've ordered from this restaurant a couple of times. The first two experiences were fantastic, but unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. I decided to try their vegan sausage, which is pricier than their regular vegan mushroom po' boy. However, it was incredibly salty—like someone dumped an entire salt shaker on the Impossible meat. For $18, it should be much better. In fact, I ended up throwing the whole thing away. When I called to share my feedback, they offered me a new sandwich for free. A few weeks later, I received my replacement, again opting for the mushroom po' boy, but it was just mediocre. I was really let down and haven't returned since. I'm not sure who's in charge of the vegan dishes, but they either need to be retrained or let go. If you're going to offer vegan food, you need to make it taste good and be enjoyable to eat. The sausage was practically inedible, and the fries were usually cold, lacking any real seasoning despite being labeled as "Creole fries." The execution of the dishes is poor, and the quality does not justify the price. Just because the food is vegan doesn't mean we don’t expect it to be flavorful. I’d consider trying them again if they change their cooks and put genuine effort into making the food taste great. Until then, I won’t be returning for their vegan menu.

I was really disappointed. The fries were so burnt that we couldn’t eat them, and the shrimp po’ boy tasted more like fish. I feel like I wasted $16.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem by chance while looking for a new lunch spot in West Sac, and it was exactly what I needed! We ordered the shrimp po' boy and the Reuben, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. Both dishes were incredible and had generous portions, so I got to enjoy lunch for an extra day. I've already told everyone at the office, and I'm actually considering making today a Poor Boys lunch day! The service was exceptional too! I can't remember our server's name, but every staff member seemed genuinely happy to be there. I highly recommend checking this place out! And definitely try the Buffalo fries—they're amazing!

The closure of poor boys is honestly so upsetting. My bf and I came here all the time and the sandwiches were off the chain. We still can’t get over the loss.

Honestly it's the best food I've had in a long time. I have also don't eat meat and it was so good !!! I ordered the shrimp and crawfish sand ice with the shrimp and crawfish fries
