New Orleans To Go

Best food truck food ever. I have had their shrimp po boy and catfish, both amazing! Fired to perfection. The spicy honey sauce packs some heat but is perfect balance for the fried food. Their sandwich may seem pricy on paper but the portions are huge! I usually share it.
If you see their truck parked definitely go for some amazing food, you won’t regret it.

I got lucky that I stopped at the tanger outlets on July 5^th because this truck does not go to taste of Cincinnati. I had chosen to eat a philly and was ¾ done with it when I heard the owner/​husband of the truck being friendly interacting with customers and raving about the spicy honey sauce so I had to try it. Got the shrimp Poboy with spicy honey fries. The Poboy was overflowing with shrimp and the spicy honey glaze was ridiculous! I ended up eating the entire meal and may be willing to pay to have this truck at taste of Cinci next year so everyone can enjoy this food

I’m not sure why this listing exits. This location is closed and has been for a while. I wasted my lunch hour looking for this place. Unilocal needs to remove this.
The food truck stil runs, but they no longer sell food at this address. This information can be verified by calling their listed phone number.

great food! just like new orleans!!! i travel 2hrs just to eat there. She made me Crawfish Pie, her sweet potato Pie is awesome. get the cornbread also. you really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. it really want a taste of NOLA go during her annual Crawfish boil!!!

This has now bumped up to my #1 favorite food truck in Cincinnati! New Orleans to Go will surely surprise you with their truely New Orleans taste, vibe, and personalitiy. The owners and people who run it do an amazing job at leaving your tastebuds satisfied and they are happy to do it.
I had the catfish po’boy with the spicy honey. it was soo good. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, breaded, and fried, and the fish meat was very tender and moist. The also give you so much fish that it overflows! The bread that they used is DIVINE. slightly crispy on the outside, but fluffy on the inside to keep the contents from making it get soggy. The spicy honey sauce is so unique and is like a beautiful combination of hot sauce and honey and they are generous on drizzling it all over the sandwich. Don’t expect your fingers to stay clean! They also load it with tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. The french fries are fried cajun style and are glazed with that spicy honey sauce that you just can’t get enough of. GET THEM.
It might me slightly pricier than your average food truck, but the quantity AND quality make it well worth your buck! They also had fried oyster po’boys and shrimp po’boys that I’d like to try. I am so happy to read that they have their own standing restaurant now as well.

This shrimp Po boy is about all you need to experience the NO! I mean I’ve been to New Orleans before and the Po Boy I had was good, but I will never forget the one I had at New Orleans to go!
The only thing I dislike is the fact that the hours sometimes seem hit or miss. I sometimes look forward to going to the hairdresser which is in the same complex just to get the sandwich. I mean not like I need the calories but if I had to consume a few extra this sandwich it’s definitely worth every single one of them!

I hadn’t heard of NOTG until we went to Lumenocity this summer down at Music Hall. There was a whole line of food trucks down there and we couldn’t decide which one to go to… until we saw people walking past us with these amazing looking po’ boys in their hands. We figured out where they were coming from, and of course they had the longest line! I waited with my husband and brother, and our mouths were just watering every time someone walked away from the window with another delicious looking po boy. All three of us decided to get the spicy honey glazed chicken po boys. It took up the entire container and smelled so amazing! We walked back to our spots and started eating… and all I can say is WOW! The bread was the BEST bread I’ve ever had, hands down. It was crunchy and chewy all at the same time, and warm and soft on the inside. The chicken was so perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. And the sauce… omg the sauce! A sweet and spicy amazing honey glaze that you could probably pour on anything to make it taste good. It was seriously one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten! I can’t wait to try their brick and mortar place, or find their truck again… I’ve been craving it ever since!

I’ve yet to have a bad meal from New Orleans To Go. We go back to their Tri-​County storefront days. Make a point to seek them out, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

This food truck was parked out in front of my business on several occasions. I am not an expert on Cajun food but it’s not very often that I have enjoyed everything I had tried off of a food truck. But with this one I can say that everything is wonderful. The Mac and cheese is amazing.
They will be welcome back anytime.

I would eat here almost every day if I lived or worked in the area. had a spicey honey chicken poboy. it was amazing. A nice bite, but the spice was not overpowering. More chicken than the bread could handle, which is great since it is usually the other way around. The creole potato salad was very good. The cheesy grits were good but surprisingly not great. The sweet potato pie was the best I ever had. I can’t wait to go back some day.

I was on a quest to get some good Cajun/​Creole food so I went to New Orleans to go Restaurant on Reed Hartman in Blue Ash which is not that easy to find. Felt like I was walking into a doctors office more than a restaurant. I was told by very nice woman that they were closed today, but their food truck was down in Blue Ash parked in the Shell station, across from the City BBQ on Kenwood Road. Now you have to be pretty confident in your food to describe your location by another restaurant location, but being from New Orleans this is how directions are given. It was a little bit before noon and there was already a line outside the truck. There was a list of Po’boys that were being served today. I could not make up my mind between the Oyster and the Shrimp so I got the small size, one of each with a side of potato salad. I also got an order of Beignet Chips. I do have a picky palate when it comes to Cajun/​Creole food. What I do have to say is that the Oysters and the Shrimp tasted as good as anything I have ever had in New Orleans if not better, and the Beignet Chips I have never had them before and they were fantastic. The bread was not authentic French Bread, but in Cincinnati that is something hard to come by. They told me they have Po Babies, Po Boys, and Po Daddies. Follow them on twitter @neworleanstogo

Well this is a hidden gem if I’ve ever seen one.
No — literally — good luck finding it. I spent about 10 minutes driving around the parking lot looking for a sign to no avail. I’ll save you the trouble: enter the parking lot, head left to building # 10 921. Enter the door and just walk straight. Welcome to Cajun heaven.
You’ll be greeted by some of the friendliest food workers in the city in the middle of this random office complex. Seriously, you can tell they just love what they do. And rightfully so: 90% of the staff is originally from New Orleans so feel comfortable that you are getting an authentic experience.
When I went for my first time, I was hoping to try a shrimp po boy. Unfortunately their fryers were down at the time and I got the Andouille Etoufee instead. Un-​freaking-​believable.
Even more unbelievable was the fact that because they didn’t have the shrimp po-​boy available, they gave me a voucher to return that Friday and get one for FREE. All because they just wanted me to come back and try it that badly.
And thank god that I did.
What you’ll get is a heaping serving of perfectly fried, breaded, tangy sweet shrimp on a delicious bun. I’ve had po boys on Bourbon Street that didn’t even compare. Great bayou eats right here in the queen city.
My only hope is that they continue to expand beyond this location and the food truck and maybe even head to downtown or uptown at some point.
Thanks for the great food and service!

Sweet Christmas, this was delicious! I had the glazed shrimp po’boy…it was awesome. The shrimp was perfectly cooked with a light breading, served on a great bun with the right proportion of shrimp and bread. It was a little heavy on the mayo, but that’s easily fixed. The potato salad was also really good, maybe a tad sweet, but good nonetheless. I will definitely be back!

You MUST try their Shrimp Po’ Boy.
It literally has the power to alter your day for the better, it’s just that good.
I started following NO2Go on twitter, and would stalk their location to go occasionally for lunch. Now it’s even easier to get your fix since they opened their bistro location off of Reed Hartman up in Blue Ash.
Everything I’ve ever had there has been fantastic– and everyone who works there is the friendliest.

I have not seen this truck around town cavorting with the usual suspects; however, I was not disappointed. I had the shrimp po boy, with sides of beans & rice and potato salad-​all were great. And, after a trip to NOLA, will say they were also quite authentic. I love the diversity that food trucks are bringing to d’nati. And, after a little recon, I now see that they have a brick and mortar bistro in Blue Ash and catering service. So, more than just a food truck; which is perhaps why I haven’t seen them around as much, but none the less, if you have the chance, give it a go.

A friend told me about this food truck, so I had to check it out. They recently opened a bistro which is kinda hard to find… it is literally in an office complex. It’s a simple setup, small kitchen with a few tables, and a few items menus to choose from each day. It’s a perfect lunch spot in Blue Ash. Quick and not packed.
I love all Cajun food, and this time I went with the shrimp po boy. I hate it when places serve po boys on massive buns with a few pieces of shrimp (Crave). NOTG is the EXACT opposite. A heaping pile of shrimp, and the glaze sauce was the perfect compliment. It also comes with a side of potato salad. The meal is $ 10.95, but it worth it. My friend ordered the catfish po boy with the glaze sauce. This was 3 large pieces of fried catfish.
Loved it, and will be back. They do close every so often, so make sure you call before going.

We can’t wait til they come and cater our event at our home this summer!
We stopped by the bistro for the first time. The food is as good as ever! Very quaint and thrilled by the shrimp étouffée and grits. The po boy (shrimp) is loaded and delicious with the glaze on it– big enough for two. Left fat, happy and hungering for more!
It’s my son’s favorite as he is a big fan of truly amazing New Orleans cuisine!

The better half is from Baton Rouge, LA. This means that he knows his stuff! We love love love the food here. The Po Boys are the real deal. I have no idea how they get bread that can stand up to our standards but the do.
The glazed shrimp are amazing and if they are on the menu get them. I love the gumbo and all of the picnic salads they make. The cornbread also knocked our socks off.
Sometimes they do crawfish boils. We were lucky enough to take part in one. The crawfish were perfect. Cooked perfect, seasoned perfect, just perfect. That is harder to come by than you think.
The business is family owned and the staff is awesome. The new location is kind of hard to find but you will love what they have done with the inside! It has such a festive feel.
Do yourself a favor. This place is awesome. Try it.

Love the family feel of this place. Menu changes based on what the chef is feeling and what’s in season, so be prepared to be flexible. We went to the fixed location off of Reed Hartman (it’s hard to find because it’s in an office complex, so look for a little green sign at the corner), and the service was so friendly! I had the shrimp po boy with mayo on the side and loved every bite… great sauce and lightly fried shrimp made it my perfect po boy. Not the cheapest lunch place in the area, but totally worth it as a nice treat.

I’d love to lose my blues in Louisiana, but this creole food truck has me torn. The Po Boys are amazing, particularly the shrimp. Evenly seasoned, topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo on a brioche bun and a side of homemade potato salad, this monstrous platter will whisk your appetite away.
The young lady working behind the counter was a doll. Easy going and charismatic, she’s the kind of server who calls you «hun.» With all the markings of a great eatery, why only three stars? Well, New Orleans To Go can be a bit elusive.
I’d been looking to try a meal from the truck, but never saw it around town until the World Choir Games. It was parked in the MarketGarden lot, alongside other vendors. The first day I stopped by was for lunch. The truck was there, but the awning was down and it looked closed. Other vendors were cooking, and I wasn’t sure why New Orleans wasn’t. Later, I returned in the evening for dinner. Again, closed.
A few days pass, and I returned during lunchtime. The sandwich board was out reading, «Will Return at 6:00.» I left and came back again for dinner. The awning was up, the menu was out, but not a soul was in sight. Sigh. I stood around for 15 minutes, then took a stroll around the MarketGarden. By pure luck, after I made a lap around the lot, the clerk had appeared at her truck.
It was definitely one of the best Shrimp Po Boys I’ve tasted, but what an effort was needed to obtain it!
Price per person: $ 10.00

Yum! I love Food Trucks… like LOVE LOVE them. Since we only have a handful so far in Cincinnati and I always manage to find myself in the exact opposite location of all said trucks, I don’t get to indulge as often as I would like. This is probably why it took me so long to finally try out New Orleans to Go.
This is your typical truck experience: wait in line to order — wait for your order to be made — grab order. Pretty simple stuff here folks, but New Orleans to Go seems to have quite the array of goodies to prepare. Their menu varies, but the day I went they had glazed shrimp or tilapia that could be served in a po’boy or over roasted corn grits. Also available was a Cajun Chicken Philly and Gumbo. Now I’m not one to skip over a good po’boy so I went with the grilled shrimp (no mayo please) and subbed my chips for gumbo (only a buck more!)
I ate the gumbo first and it was very tasty, good chunks of sausage and great flavor. As for the po’boy — it was delicious and huge. Definitely a filling lunch. In additional to the glazed shrimp, the bun was packed with lettuce, tomato and pickle (and mayo if you are into that sort of thing.)
If you see the «Streetcar named Desire» out and about — stop by!

NOTG serves up some of the best food you can get. I am not a shrimp lover in general but would not order anything BUT the Shrimp Po Boy from NOTG. It’s a huge sandwich, overflowing with shrimp, topped with veggies and glaze = YUM! It really was a great lunch today.
Not only do they serve up some great New Orleans cuisine, they’re friendly and helpful as well.

I wanted to try this truck for a long time before their schedule finally meshed with mine. I went and I must say, it was worth the wait! I love shrimp po’boys and ate them daily on my trips to New Orleans. NOTG’s version rivals any that I had while in NO. They are super generous with the shrimp and the glaze they put on it is delicious. It really sets it apart from the other po’boys I’ve had.
Another of my favorite dishes is when they make sweet potato fries with apple butter. They aren’t on the menu all the time, and it’s probably a good thing (for my waistline).
They truly believe in great customer service at this family-​run food truck. Fast and friendly!

I’d been waiting to try out New Orleans to Go for something like three years, after reading about their bricks-​and-​mortar store way back when. Having lived in New Orleans ourselves for more than a decade, we’d read that the proprietors were New Orleans natives and Katrina refugees, so I figured this would be the real Louisiana deal in a town where restaurants like Allyn’s and Washington Platform serve off-​kilter faux «Cajun» food from an alternate universe.
But for whatever reason, we never made it out to NOTG.
In the meantime, NOTG folks gave up their restaurant and started a food truck. This truck proved impossible for me to locate for months upon months: NOTG’s website and Facebook and Twitter pages aren’t all that great about identifying the truck’s location, which doesn’t seem like all that great a business plan for a restaurant that’s often in motion.
Finally, a co-​worker told me one day that they were parked down on Fountain Sqaure. This was my chance!
Although NOTG’s website lists a broad range of New Orleans specialties, the truck apparently offers only a tiny, varied selection on a given day. And not all are authentic Louisiana specialties: On this day, there was something called a «fish taco sandwich.» But there was was also a glazed shrimp po-​boy. Although I was never a shrimp po-​boy guy when I lived in N.O. – they were often too dry, and I preferred oysters or catfish – this sounded like the way to go. These shrimp were perfectly fried and seasoned – it tasted like New Orleans. And as many menus and signboards in New Orleans used to say, this is definitely an «overstuff» po-​boy; you get your nine dollars worth of shrimp. But Jeezum, this was one sloppy, sticky mess of a sandwich. I think this was due to the sub rolls NOTG is using in place of French bread; the sandwich rolls over when you put it down and everything spills out. (Leidenheimer Bakery, New Orleans’ po-​boy bread specialist, obviously doesn’t deliver to Cinci.)
But this was a really good po-​boy, nonethleless, and I really look forward to the next one.
Served with Husman’s chips. I like Husman’s chips just fine. They’re a solid Cinci product. But what about Zapp’s!!! (Even Potbelly sells ‘em…)
I wouldn’t normally review a place like this based on a single visit, but based on the fear that I won’t see the New Orleans to Go truck for another couple of years, I figure I’ll get my two cents in now, especially since it was such a positive experience. But will update as necessary…

While attending the New Years celebration in Oakley Square, I had the opportunity to try New Orleans To Go. My cousin has been hyping this place since the early summer. I overheard them say that they only brought a very limited menu since they weren’t sure of the attendance of the event. Basically they only had a few options, but even still I had a hard time deciding between the Cajun rice and the gumbo.
In the end I decided to try the Louisiana chicken and sausage gumbo. Upon ordering a hot bowl of the gumbo was quickly handed to me, fresh from the pot. Not only was it hot in temperature, but it was spicy too! It may not look like much from my terrible cell phone photo, but the gumbo was packed with tons of chicken and sausage as well as plenty of rice to soak up all the juice. I was really impressed with the dish and I hope that I can track down the food truck again in the near future to sample some of their po-​boys and other bayou specialties. Based on other reviews I’ve read online, all of their food is tasty!

For a few bucks I got my taste buds tickled and a hole in my belly filled then I got something better.
But first the food. I had a Red Beans and Rice taco. I had no idea what to expect from that but it’s pretty much as it’s called. Red Bean and Rice in a tortilla. Darn good stuff. We also had there sweet potato fries. I sure couldn’t tell if there were frozen or not — the family agreed No. The apple butter that went with it was also pretty good. I flavorfully fed four of us on the square at 9PM for about $ 13.
But the something better. The guy driving the truck was nice, attentive and seemed to give a rip about his work. And he wouldn’t stop bragging on his wife who he said was the brains of the operation. If she’s the brains then he at least is the smile. We’ll be heading out to find them again soon.

One of the coolest looking food trucks I have ever seen in fact it’s the only Cajun food truck I have ever seen, located quite a bit northeast of Cajun country. As the Po Boys have been clearly described I will note something I found interesting about the potato chips, Grippos. While the logo looks almost exactly like a bag of cajun chips called Zapp’s which are from Gramercy, Louisiana, Grippos started making cajun chips in 1956, in none other than Cincinnati while Zapp’s didn’t get started down south until 1985. So if there’s any question of authenticity those facts alone make it appear likely that the original cajun chips may actually be from Cincinnati, not Louisana. :)

I finally got the chance to eat here last week! It seems that they are usually hosting private events. Maybe it was because of the cold weather, or maybe they were downtown over the Winter and I just didn’t go to the right places. Hopefully they will be around much more in the future.
I ordered a glazed shrimp po boy with bisque. I loved the food, though usually when I get po boys I am stuffed; this time I was not. The bisque came in a small container that was closer to a sampling than a bowl. Unfortunately when running a food truck you have to put everything into a single container for the most part, so unless they included a separate bowl of bisque there really is not other way to get more.
I have yet to try any gumbo or jambalaya, but I am sure they are great too. Next time I am going to ask if they can make it spicy, because the food I ordered had no spice to it. I can tell they enjoy what they do and I wish them the best of luck in the future. I will return (hopefully shortly) to try some other items on the menu!
