500 Po Boys: Charlie’s Restaurant In Violet Louisiana

Charlie’s Restaurant In Violet Louisiana via RL Reeves Jr
One of the young meat cutters offered that Charlie’s down in Violet puts out a good po boy so we took him at his word, hopped in the old Econoline, and motored the 10 minutes down St Bernard highway to see for ourselves.
We fantasize that upon walking in we’ll be blasted with the sound of Violet’s favorite son Eldridge Holmes but our dreams are for naught. Holmes has been dead for nearly 20 years, and we doubt that he’s ever gotten much airplay inside Charlie’s.

A full page is devoted to po boys.
22 different types are on offer, and New Orleans pricing is not in effect. February is the heart of oyster season in Louisiana, and we’re angling for an oyster po boy but our waitress is not having it. “We’re famous for mama’s roast beef and that’s what you should have” she emphatically states leaving us little option.

Service is attentive and unobtrusive. Our waitress is a sunny-dispositioned lass well-skilled in the art of service. Our tab comes to just north of $6 for a po boy that would easily cost $15 in New Orleans.
