Walker's BBQ, located on Hayne Blvd in New Orleans, has garnered a reputation that echoes through the culinary streets. With a tantalizing focus on barbecue, this spot offers dishes that leave a lasting impression on all who visit. Customers rave about the mouthwatering poboys, with highlights like the Cochon du lait stealing the show; indeed, many declare it the best they've ever tasted.
The ambiance is equally inviting, with picnic tables that create a casual and friendly setting for diners to savor their meals. Guests have praised the friendly staff and the walk-up window, which adds convenience to the experience. One standout feature is the BBQ sauce, which has been described as heavenly and seductive, accompanying each perfectly smoked cut of meat.

Your next visit to New Orleans wouldn't be complete without a stop here.

Came here while visiting new orleans and I'm so glad I did! Me and my family got 3 different poboys and oh my were they good! Super friendly staff. They have picnic tables around the side which we sat and ate at. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!!

Let me start by telling you that we woke up extremely early and waited for them to open so we could get our BBQ. This place make other BBQ restaurant look like a joke. Their BBQ is to die for, they literally sell out all their food by 1:00-2:00PM. You always get fresh food! The BBQ sauce, oh my, oh my! I feel like driving back to NOLA to get me some. You need to wake up early to catch them, because they’re not going to stay open once they sell out their food, and they sell out pretty fast. What are you waiting for? Nom-nom-nom!

Good folks, good food. Had the sampler with ribs, pork, brisket, jambalaya, and potato salad. Thanks to the locals for the great recommendations. Our favorites were the pork and jambalaya.

Went to Walker's, for the first-time in a good-while, on Friday. The walk-up window and ordering-process are new to me, BUT, the ribs are still great and the potato-salad is incredible! Do yourself a favor and get the center-cut ribs! I will make a point to get out that way more often, at-least bi-weekly!

I had the best ever Cochon du lait poboy at French Quarter Festival 2023. It was recommended, so I found the tent and ordered. I didn’t notice which restaurant it came from at the time so googled it the next day..that is how good it was. Best poboy or sandwich I have ever had. Walkers BBQ is the best ever!!!!!

By far one of the best BBQ places we tried on our trip to the south of the US. We arrived almost at closing time (2pm) but they were very friendly and accommodating with our order, even though it was last min. The Cochin de lait (pork) poboy was excellent and the brisket burnt ends was probably the best we had in a long time! All was served promptly and there was some outdoor sitting to enjoy the food. They gave us some free samples of the smoked chicken salad as well, which was delicious. The staff was super nice and even recommended us some places to visit in New Orleans. Is everything you will expect from a southern bbq experience, great food and even better people.

The Cochon de lait po boy and smoked chicken wings are beyond sensational. Staff is direct and friendly. One of my favorite spots in New Orleans.
