I am in Ponchatoula for the week to work, and decided to look for a place to get good food locally. I am glad I picked Paul's, as their shrimp Po Boy was delicious. I even got to help the owner Paul hoist the American flag on memorial day. Overall a very good place to stop with great food and even better staff.

This cozy, family-run spot offers classic Southern comfort food that truly hits the spot. I opted for simplicity, a grilled-cheese sandwich with a side of onion rings, it felt like home. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness made the experience even more enjoyable; they treat you like old friends, ensuring glasses were never empty, including a refreshed to-go cup. The ambiance, with its rustic decor and friendly chatter, added to the overall charm.
