Price and Value

Pros:

• "Prices are really affordable and the po boys definitely hit the spot."

• "I was surprised how reasonable the price was."
• "Prices were very reasonable for Reading Terminal Market."
• "They have a punch card system where you get a free entree after buying 10, but I didn't need another reason to come back!!"
• "For $20 in Bidens USA you can have fries and a po’ boy with FRESHLY CARVED CHICKEN, PORK - you name it!"
• "The alligator gumbo was delicious, just the right amount of spice."

Cons:

• "Today my oyster platter was half of an oyster basically the normal price I buy the full oysters for 11.95."
• "Noticed how small the portions were(small container of rice with gumbo ontop for nearly 10$)."
• "Then I check my receipt and turns out I was charged for 'GUMBALAYA' $12 and some cents,( the jambalaya is advertised for $8.95)."
• "I ended up paying $2.50 more than I intended."
• "Ordered an entree and the final bill was listed as more expensive than it was on the menu."
• "The catfish was fried in a hard tough breading I threw most of it away such a waste for over 16.00 plus tip."
• "It was $12 and a total $14 with the tip. Not worth it in my opinion."
