Koz's Harahan

I visited Koz’s twice so far. My first time where I ordered a po’boy, a second time where I ordered fried chicken. Two very different qualities of food. My first visit I ordered the shrimp po’boy with an order of fries and blueberry cobbler. The french bread was fresh and soft. Not crunchiness like plenty of other spots. The shrimp were freshly paired and seasoned to perfection. Hand down on the top 5 best shrimp po’boys I’ve ever had. The fries were also freshly fried. The blueberry cobbler was delightful. The second visit was a to-go order of fries chicken, mac’n’cheese, and potatoes with gravy. The chicken was horrible. It seems to have been fried in cornmeal and flour and no seasoning. But the most horrible part was the chicken was burnt and fried in old grease. That’s wrong on every level. The potatoes were clearly from a box and not from fresh potatoes. There was no attempt to mask that. The mac’n’cheese wasn’t that. It was spaghetti with cheese served at a 1/2 cup, maybe less. It was less than room temperature and lacked flavors. The lack of consistent product quality is a big issues for me as a food lover. Koz’s is a spot worth checking out for the sandwiches once for sure. I can’t recommend them, but I am willing to try something else off of the menu from them (I will dine-in to voice any quality issues) one more time. If it is horrible again, this spot will be a no-go for good.
