It’s not hard to fall in love with New Orleans. Our unique culture, incredible cuisine, and breathtaking architecture have captured the hearts of countless people for centuries. When New York native Jacques Leonardi was stationed here while he was in the Coast Guard, he fell in love with New Orleans so much that he moved here and worked to open his own restaurant. His dream came true in 1996 when he opened the popular Jacques-Imo’s Cafe, a favorite neighborhood eatery on Oak Street.

Six years later he opened Crabby Jack’s, and it quickly became known for having some of the best po’boys in New Orleans. Be sure to come hungry when you visit Crabby Jacks, because the portions are very generous!

Located right on the Jefferson/New Orleans edge, Crabby Jack’s is about to become your new favorite lunch joint.
