Spicy Boy’s

To start off, I feel like I simply placed the wrong order at spicy bois.
When you arrive you are facing a menu and the seating area is behind you.
After I ordered almost everyone in the bar who was eating was eating a plate of crawfish.
It looked really good and they make it on the patio. I don’t like writing negative reviews, but after paying over $30 for a shrimp po boy and a can of Diet Coke with a modest tip and I feel like it’s probably fair. There are way too many other options in Nashville for better food at a lower price point to ever consider coming back. If you are going, find out if they are making the crawfish and consider ordering that instead. It’s a smaller space inside with a few tables located around the property.
Everyone I talked to was very nice. The food tasted fine.
The sandwich bread was delicious. This one missed the mark for me in many ways though.
I didn’t feel like it was a premium dining experience for a $24 sandwich.
It didn’t come overloaded with shrimp.
The atmosphere was warm and fun but so are 100 other places in town.

We were the only patrons on the food side and it took 5 plus minutes to get waited on at the counter even after employees saw us.
The guy that finally helped us (from the bar) was great.
Menu is limited, and food is hit or miss.
Shrimp poboy was good, the fries great, but the roast beef poboy was amazing! The Boudin balls (no flavor & looked like dog food) and gumbo (almost tasted burnt) were horrible. The place is cute enough and in a high traffic area.
I hope the outside seating and bar area will keep it afloat, but honestly, I'm afraid from my experience it will be gone in a year.
There is just too much competition in Nashville.

On our first visit to this charming restaurant the roast beef po-boy was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten especially with the flavorful, tender homemade roast beef, finely sliced lettuce, beautiful Bâtard and the mayo.
Man what a sandwich.
The gumbo on the other hand had way too much salt.
On another visit the roast beef po-boy was a mediocre sandwich for $20 a go.
Here is the hoping the roast beef po-boys will always be good in the future.
It’s a nice place and please don’t forget to support all our Nashville owned independent restaurants and businesses.
