Reviews for Gold Post Sandwich House Inc in Hattiesburg, MS
Historic burger and gumbo joint.... Well run and wonderful food.... seafood gumbo uses blond roux and therefore surprisingly... light and delicate.... nice change in our part of the world Read more
Very good Gumbo, grilled cheese and shrimp po-boy.
One of my favorite local Hattiesburg restaurants for the past 25 years is the Gold Post! Their po-boy bread is authentic,... shipped daily straight from New Orleans, and the house salad dressing is local famous. I recommend any of the Po-boy sandwiches,all the salads, and both the red beans and rice and the seafood gumbo. It's a perfect spot for a quick, casual lunch at a veryreasonable price! Read more
--- there are a lot of restaurants that serve outstanding shrimp po-boys -- [some are legendary, such as Lil' Ray's in Waveland... ( now gone but still alive and well in Long Beach ) and Catalina's in Pascagoula ( still here but not the original ), and newones such as The Front Porch in the woods North of DeLisle. ] - the Gold Post isn't one of them. First, it is NOT a "NewOrleans style" po-boy - they use the wrong bread - it is some kind of hoagie bun, NOT French Bread at all. Second, it istiny - like, really tiny. Third,. there isn't much shrimp on it ( it's tiny, remember ? ). Fourth, it is terrible - inedibleterrible ( one bite and a second nip of a single shrimp just to see if it really is that terrible - it is ). Fifth, it issuper expensive for what you get ( tiny terrible sandwich and limp fries will beat down a $20 bill to 'not-much-left' ). Strangely, I ate here in the not so distant past ( it was in 2022 ) and the cost was way less, the shrimp was way better, andwhile the sandwich wasn't any bigger, or the bread any closer to being French, it , overall, was a decent meal at a reasonablevalue - no longer. With some 3/4 of a century of shrimp po-boy experience, I can declare this the worse I have everencountered. Read more
We found this place on our way through town, and are so glad we stopped here instead of some chain place.ove the fact that... they've been here for decades, it let's you know that the locals must like it. I had the cheeseburger and my wife had thegrilled chicken salad. Both were very good. Fast (FAST) friendly service to boot. We will definitely be back! Read more
My favorite place to eat in Mississippi for decades. The po'boys are made like a po'boy should be. The ham, dressed roast beef... with gravy, and shrimp are good enough it is hard to choose which to have this visit. Also get the cup of gumbo with yourPo'boy. There are other things on the menu that I am sure must be good but getting past ordering a po'boy and gumbo make itimpossible to tell. Read more
Given wrong side order (broccoli bites instead of cheese sticks), burger was pretty small, and fries were dead cold. I haven?t... eaten here in years, thought I?d give it a try and realized why I don?t hear of it as a good option anymore. The price of theburger compared to the size was off, and I couldn?t believe how cold the fries were. Giving two stars because the burger wasactually good, but the other two items were not good at all. Read more
I love it! The food is good! And the people are even better
