Bringing New Orleans’ Soul to Metro Detroit

About That Poor Boy Kitchen

Rooted in Tradition, Served with Passion

That Poor Boy Kitchen is dedicated to serving the most authentic New Orleans Po Boys and traditional Creole and Cajun dishes to the Metro Detroit community. Our journey began over 30 years ago in Louisiana, where our passion for soulful, flavorful cuisine took root.

From humble beginnings as a dishwasher at Chateau Estates in Kenner, Louisiana, the founder quickly advanced to a short order cook, honing skills in classic Southern cooking. Every dish we create is inspired by that rich heritage and commitment to quality.
