Shrimp po’ boy? Fire. Beignets? Melt-in-your-mouth good. Stuffed key lime pie sno ball? Straight-up dreamy. Everything we tried was delish. Can’t wait to come back. Love this place!

The place IS authentic cuisine. I had the the shrimp po’boy and it was delicious and tasted as good as any I have had in New Orleans. Will definitely be going back to try that key lime snowball.

We come here for the beignets! They are amazing. They have regular and bite-size ones. We come several times when staying in PCB. On our latest vacation, we stayed in Destin and had some terrible beignets locally. We ended up driving scenic 30A and went the extra mile to eat here. My son says the sno-balls are good too. Give this place a try. I bet you won’t be disappointed.

The young lady at the front counter was very sweet, and made sure to clarify orders to be sure we got our treats just right! I got the Stuffed Red Velvet with sweet condensed milk on top (the Medium size is JUST right for an adult!) The place is definitely mom&pop feel; we will definitely be back.

Every time we visit PCB, David’s Sno-Balls is at the top of our list to go to! The sno-balls are worth every penny and help cool you off after a long day on the beach! With dozens of flavors, everyone will have a favorite! Not only are the sno-balls amazing, their food is incredible! And don’t even get me started on their beignets; make sure you get one (or many!)

It's actual legit and real louisiana style food. Talking to the owner is found out he is from the same area of New Orleans that I grew up in. Anything you order is going to be good, in my case 2 shrimp po-boy's, an oyster po-boy, along with a bowl of gumbo and an order of Beignets with some Cafe au lait ( it's equal parts coffee and hot milk, it's a must with beignets as is tradition in New Orleans ) This will be our new spot when we're down in the area. My family loved it. Especially my daughter who stole all my gumbo after I made the mistake of giving her a taste. It completely satisfied our craving for some good louisiana style food that we've been having. I need to be clear that I myself am 100% a cajun cook myself. I grew up cooking in New Orleans. I approve of this place. It is what it says it is.
