Parkway Bakery & Tavern

$ · BudgetLeashed only

A New Orleans institution since 1911, famous for overstuffed po'boys - especially roast beef with gravy and fried shrimp - in a historic tavern on Bayou St. John. The spacious covered outdoor patio is dog friendly, with counter ordering and a drive-thru. It's a short walk from the Bayou St. John waterfront path.

Why it made the list

Eating a legendary roast beef po'boy on a covered patio with your dog, then walking the bayou, is about as New Orleans as a dog day gets.

Good to know before you go

Per local press and the venue's reputation, the covered outdoor patio welcomes leashed dogs; ordering is at the counter separately from the patio. Hours were not published on the page reviewed.

Practical notes

  • Order at the counter first, then claim a patio table with your dog.
  • Walk Bayou St. John's banks before or after - it's a favorite leashed dog stroll.
