Dont come on a Saturday!!! Waited almost two hours in the rain for a seat and decided we would sit outside under the heaters outside. However its raining and we were not totally covered by the canopy so made the decision to get the food and eat in our car.The venue is small and staff suggested its better to come during the week as they are busy as soon as they open.The staff were up beat and as helpful as they could be. I gave 1 start for atmosphere because we never made it insideWe brought the meat sharing platter, which is mainly chicken, lots of chicken!The brisket lacked flavour, even the bourbon bbq sauce did nothing for me. The fried calamari was not crispy and the chicken was just ‘ok’ nothing special. I loved the burnt ends and the dirty onion rings - delicious. The drinks are expensive for the cup.Was it worth a two hour wait; personally no. However, on a quiet day I would buy the burnt ends and onion rings again.Spent £68

Took my little brother here for his 18th. Had a lovely meal and a couple drinks.The food was lovely. Mac and cheese balls I would highly recommended.The brisket could have been a little more tender, though. The ice slush cocktails were lovely too.

Read this before visiting! So if you visit on weekend expect a long wait! We queued for approx hour! Once seated service was slow and we ordered took another 45mins before coming out! The portions are huge!! The PO boy sandwiches are filled and big enough for two people.Food wise the shrimp big pieces crispy buttermilk 3/5Wings again same butter milk batter 3/5 would preferred sauce over the wings with some garnish.Mac cheese balls are size of a tennis ball very dense 2.5/5PO boy chicken sandwichSame crispy batter huge pieces chicken.The sauce dips where great would like to see some gravy on menu to accompany the sandwiches as the batter gets to dry!I would recommend one portion fries between two people and don’t order everything with butter milk seasoning all tastes the same. Overall average food wouldn’t be in a rush to return. Not worth 2 hours wait!!

What a beautiful little spot in a beautiful location.You always know you’re in for a treat when you get there 10mins before opening and there’s a line 20+ people deep waiting to get in.Great portion sizes with a great selection of food, which is all done to perfection.First time in a while I haven’t finished a whole meal (that’s saying something)Well worth a visit.

Queue seemed long but moved quit quickly. Waited about 20 minutes for the table but worth the wait. The portions are massive for the price.We ordered the Mac and cheese balls, brisket donuts, the jalapeño poppers and the crab dirty boys. All were delicious, I think the Jalapeño poppers were the best I’ve ever had. I wish I could have gone with a larger group to have tried more on the menu. I also had a frozen daiquiri which was also delicious and didn’t taste too strong

My first visit to poor boys and it did not disappoint! We were greeted by a really nice server and told there was a small wait but he brought out menus so we good have a browse whilst waiting.The server who took our order and looked after us was super friendly! He was patient with us and always smiling. He then went above and beyond with a table nearby to sit with them and go through the menu as they were clearly also first timers.100% recommend, the food did not disappoint, the servers were all lovely, and the atmosphere was great!

This place is an absolute gem of a place. The surf and turf is crazy amazing. I love the soft shell crab…. If only they give you more of it…. It’s beyond tasty. The Cajun mayo is the best sauce hands down. The wait staff are lovely and friendly…. Best place for fast fried food ever….

We had an absolutely amazing meal - we arrived at 1pm and had to queue for about 15 minutes but the food was well worth the wait! The food was incredible and the portions huge - would highly recommend the Mac Boy! Also thoroughly enjoyed the festive shake with salted caramel and baileys.Only downside was that we were sat right next to the door so it was a little cold but didn’t ruin the meal in anyway.

So good! Now I understand the massive queues in the evenings. The buttermilk chicken is beautifully tender with a crunchy coating with tasty seasoning. Not oily at all. Calamari was delicious. The BBQ brisket was mouthwateringly delicious. I'm not normally a fan of mac n cheese, but this was pretty good - al dente macaroni and a non-stodgy well-flavoured cheese sauce. Fries were good. We tried 4 of the sauces - Cajun mayo, honey mustard, Louisiana hot, and Texan BBQ - they were all tasty. Loved the root beer float - made me feel like a kid again.Service was friendly and helpful.We came on a Wednesday afternoon after the lunch rush. It was still busy inside, but there was plenty of outdoor seating.
