Poor Boys

ALL WEEKEND - THE FUME PIT

The ultimate crowd-pleaser, the most loved independent restaurant in town and a true local legend. Set up by two brothers obsessed with the energy, culture, and flavours of New Orleans, they bring proper Southern Louisiana hospitality and massive portions straight to the FUME pit. Expect bold, messy, flavour-packed plates that fuse classic Po’ Boys with serious smokehouse soul: think crispy buttermilk fried shrimp Po’ Boys dripping in Cajun mayo, juicy beef brisket donuts with rich gravy, sticky bourbon BBQ short ribs, fiery Hot Honey Shrimp, loaded Mac Boys, and indulgent sides like mac ‘n’ cheese balls and fried pickles.

Big flavours, even bigger portions, and that unmistakable New Orleans party atmosphere — all cooked with smoke and fire for the ultimate festival feast. If you’re after generous, unapologetically delicious Southern comfort with a smoky edge, Poor Boys is unmissable.
