Although it might just seem like one of the restaurants featured at several Food-N-Fun convenience stores, Danny and Clyde's is more than that. At least, according to the Yelp reviews for the gas station chain store in Louisiana.

About Danny and Clyde's
According to the Food-N-Fun website, Danny & Clyde's was founded in 1973. Two friends from childhood, Ernest "Big Dan" Danjean and Perrin "Clyde" Rittiner started it together. It started with one location in Gretna, Louisiana, but has since expanded.
"In 1976, an innovative and strategic move was made when the founders opened their first store with a deli," the site noted. "The concept was an immediate success, establishing Danny & Clyde's as the home of the best Overstuffed Po-Boy in the New Orleans area."
Yes, you can get Po-Boys at gas stations in the south, and they're apparently not half bad!
Today, there are five locations across Southern Louisiana, although the convenience stores that house many of them actually number over 20 locations.
Where Are They Located?
