I remember these and thought they were called poor boys. Bologna, cheese and maybe salami or peperoni. They were very good and came with a packet of thousand island dressing. I wish they still made them. The microwave made a lot of foods like this disapear

I have ben looking for these,too!! These were the BEST in the 70's!!

My mom used to fix these for my brother and me on evenings when she and my dad were going out - I think they were called Poor Boys and they were made my Lawry. We had them once when one of my friends was over and she liked them so much she started having her mom buy them, too.

They were called Poor Boys, I remember we didnt get them often, when mom and dad were goin to a Cocktail party, u cooked them in the oven and they were GREAT!

I was just talking to my 50 year old brother Bobby about the Oh Boy Submarine sandwich... Now understand that in the 1970's frozen food was a real treat for a kid, there were not fast food places on every corner and gas station only sold gas... I would love to pop one in the oven to share with my kids but would probably get a better repsonse from my brother. Looking back is always fun.

Been looking for these for darn near 40 years

I have been looking for 25 years. I guess I'm not alone. Are we sure they quit making them all together? I sure miss them.

How crazy, I have been looking for these for years as well!! The closest I have come is in the span alaska catalog, they showed frozen poor boy sandwhiches. I had already made the order when I found them, but have always wondered if they were the real deal.

I was one of those kids in the 70's who at school lunch every day - I loved the Oh Boy Sandwiches served on Fridays - they were wrapped in cello and kept hot under HOT lamps!! The Cheese was hot and strechie!! I think that this sandwich was the best thing since Beef Pin wheels! Are there any thoughts or comments about this sandwich out there?

It's over! they havent made them since the micro became the rave! bummer!

I just sent a link to a site I think may be pretty close to what we all remember. However, it no longer has the foil wrap and it look like a white cheese. (I remember yellow cheese). AdvancePierre Foods seems to be the new maker of these. I can tell you that my Dad bought them all the time in the late 50's for us kids. So, they have a long standing history.

Mmmm, one of my favorites as a kid. I remember anxiously waiting for them as they cooked. Never used the dressing, preferred them hot right out of the oven. The closest thing I've had are Cold-Cut Combo's heated from Subway. Not the same but still pretty good.

Hello. Poor boy came in A red box two frozen about six to eight inches. in clear plastic. there was baloney, salami American cheese. two packets of mayonnaise, mustard. That's it.

I went to a private school and the only option for school lunches were preheated sandwiches. I remember the Oh-Boy. It was the smaller version of a snawich called the Chuchwagon (we served both). Landshire, sold in fine gas stations everywhere, still makes the Chuckwagon, but not too many places stock that particular sandwich. Go to Landshire website, click on "Our Menu", and selct "Subs". In there, you will find the Chuckwagon.

I have been craving these for decades. Use to buy them at the store and heat them in the oven. DELICIOUS. Thanks for this web site! Two to a box, wrapped in foil,came frozen. Heated them in the oven, I think for about 20 minutes. I always burnt them, but what the heck. Tasted Great for a young bachelor!

For all that love this Sammy we need to request that they start making them if we bug them enough they will make them,they can be heated in a microwave or oven. I already have a call in to the company look at any Oh Boy product for the number

Where I worked, you couldn't go out and buy lunch. I would buy a box of these Oh Boy Sub Sandwiches, leave them wrapped in foil, on either the dashboard or back ledge of the car (when they had back ledges,) and by time lunch came, the sun would have heated these enough so that the cheese had melted. If it were particularly cold, I open the hood, set them on the top of the intake manifold, and let the engine run until it warmed up. That would be enough to finish defrosting the sandwiches, and melt the cheese. They were cheap, substantial, and well worth the money. I cannot imagine why some frozen food company hasn't paid attention to these posts, and duplicated this product. It would be a great seller. I'd still buy them today.

Loved them they were really good,wish they still made them for a change of pace

I remember these...now u can just buy cold cuts and cheese and make your own heated up in the oven....otherwise the modern day version of these is called "Hot Pockets".

They were definitely a babysitter food. Loved them.

I still remember the toasted bun with a different meats on the inside and cheese I used to dress them up can anybody find them now

I LOVED THESE SANDWICHES-THEY HAD AMERICAN CHEESE-HAM-PEPORINA AND BOLOGNA AND CAME WRAPPED IN A FOIL BAG-2 TO A BOX WITH 2 PACKS OF THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING-WE WOULD TAKE THEM FISHING WITH US AND LET THEM THAW OUT AT THE FRONT OF THE BOAT-GOOOOD EATING

I definitely remember these sandwiches, and they were a favorite of mine back in the 60's. We always had them when our parents were going out to dinner (guess because they were so easy to fix), and despite the fact that I was never happy when my mom and dad were going out to dinner without us kids, I looked forward to these special sandwiches and savored every bite! Sure wish they still made them!

I thought I was the only one one this earth that loved them! After swimming on a hot summer day they were the best. Everytime I order a sandwich I still think of them. Along with the smell of sea&ski that was a summer day. What happen to sea@ski?

My dad and I used to eat the Lawry's version of these together in the 1970's. I remember them being in a foiled paper wrapper, two to a box. Part of my childhood I miss too.

My Mom used to buy these all the time. They were usually a late night snack on weekends. I can still recall the smell as they were cooking in the oven. For some reason the TV show Hogan's Heroes reminds me of the Poor Boy Sandwiches, not because of the Hero name, but because one late Saturday night that show was on in reruns and my Mom cooked them and we ate them as we were watching that show. Good memories. I sure wish they still made them.

Along with Lawry's (1971-81, national brand), a local Ohio company also sold Oh Boy! Farm Boy! frozen subs (1962-80). While on CBS-TV, "Hogan's Heroes" had three primary sponsors: Philip Morris (until 1970), P&G and Kellogg's. It's possible that Lawry's subs may have advertised during the final season, but more likely, in syndication. The few network kinescopes in my collection go up to 1967.

I still have a craving for those Lawry's frozen subs, or whatever they called called them. They were best when nice and crispy. The flavor of seasoning must be nearly impossible to replicate. How I wish I could experience them again. It's like an all-time favorite restaurant that went out of business 30 yrs ago

I would love to find a recipe!

I've been trying to figure out what the sub was that my big brother used to buy in the '70s. I asked that question in an online forum, and one person mentioned "Oh Boy". It was wrapped in a foil package, because nobody had a microwave back then. I think I remember him calling it a "poor boy". There was a distinctive, cross-hatch marking on the bottom of the bun.

I was just searching poor boy soundwich and this site popped up. In the early 70's at the pool hall in town they served the best poor boys. Bologna, salami, american cheese, mayo, mustard and a little sweet relish. They were in a soft hoggie bun and steam pressed. So good. I expermented and mircowaved one 20 seconds then pressed it down after heating. So good.

We need to convince them of how popular they would be! My whole family is craving and wanting these!!

Poor Boys and Chuckwagons were two different sandwiches! My dad used to get both of them when I was a kid. Both were delicious.

Great memories eating these and watching late night horror movies. Please come back!

Wonderful memories, where can i buy theses?

My brother and I use to eat these at our grandmothers house, we loved them? 50 years ago

My Brother David and I were also looking for these. So good. I just had a smell hit the snoze at lunch today and it took me that far back. So Good! We still get Chuck Wagons when we visit Family in Wyoming. Those are good as well.

Poor boy is the name I remember not Oh boy or whatever everyone else is saying but whatever. Yeah I don't think they came with peperoni but maybe but no don't think so maybe other combinations did but...? Anyways I do think it was the Bologna or baloney and salami for I remember the little pepper corns they put into them later on. I didn't like those and wrote them once but it didn't matter to them so they kept them in but less. Anyways yeah I loved those things. I'd put them in the oven and when done I'd put ketchup on them for me yummy that way lol. I try to match it now with Baloney salami and cheese and close but not as good. I use a hoagie bun and either Salami first and baloney of baloney first and then salami then cheese. I think the salami on the bottom then the Baloney then cheese comes the closest but... Yeah sure wish I could find them again.

Sorry forgot yeah at first until the early 80's they came in foil, then later plastic and the microwave would ruin them. Or cellophane as such I guess but still great sandwich until the microwave ruined them and that's when they stopped. Booo hoo lol.

I use to eat these sandwiches all the time. Anyone know if their still made?

Remember these sandwiches myself and been searching to find them. After reading multiple blogs... I seem to think that the ones I remembered came 2 to a box, were about 12 inches long, and came in foil packaging... since the average household didn't have microwave like we do today. You'd pop them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes which would thaw/toast the bread, heat the meats, and melt the cheese. Made with salami, ham, bologna and cheese In my memory, they probably taste better than if I found them today. See many people talk about LANDSHIRE Chuck Wagon Sandwiches... same ingredients, most likely only 6-in long sandwiches these days. Kind of interested in giving them a try to see how they compare. Ours came from a defunct chain called VENTURES. Sure that the product name include "poor boy" in it... not sure of the brand thou.

Links don't save, so trying to add one in post: https://www.amazon.com/Submarine-Grinder-Italian-Sandwich-7-3-Ounce-12-per-case/dp/B015EXYITQ/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

back when roach coaches had fold up sides and cucaracha horns, some of the trucks here in California had these in the "Hot Box"

Guess I was not the only one wanting to know if they were still available. Live alone and thought they would be good to pop in the oven.

Man I sure miss eating the poor boys.i grew up in the 70s eating them with my dad.why would the get rid of them when everyone loves them.im craving them so bad

My dad would make Larry's Poorboy Sandwiches when my mom worked nights. I still make them. here is the recipe as I remember them. nice sub buns, bologna, cotto salami and american cheese.

The Oh Boy! Poorboys were a staple of Little League concession stands in the 60s. I personally remember them heated in their plastic bags (maybe foil) and thinking this is the greatest food ever. That either says something about home cooking at our house, or the absolute brilliance of that sandwich.

1970s they were called Larrys Po Boys company out of Calif, sold in the midwest

I recall them as “Oh Boys” and wrapped in foil, 2 to a box. I Would use a fork and poke holes into foil prior to baking. Loved them!

Oh, Boy! Went out of business in the 80's, I miss the sandwiches, particularly the BBQ Beef, but I was a fan of the frozen pizza as well. Two Pepperoni 10" pizzas for $1.98! But the sandwiches were special! Nothing tastes like them. two to a box, in foil bags, 35 minutes in the oven. I miss 'em!

I remember these as just Oh Boy sandwiches. They came 2 foil-wrapped sandwiches to a box. I only remember the meat as some kina roast beef (?) and don't really remember the cheese or any seasoning packet. The bun and meat would "steam" in the foil wrapper. Even though I haven't eaten meat in over 50 years, I still remember the yummy smell of these sandwiches!

I was just telling my boyfriend about these sandwiches and the name popped right into my mind! They were so delicious and they tasted like quality! Of course they were not but oh boy did we love when our parents were going out we would get to eat then! We could not wait for them to go out… I can still hear the crunch of the bread as my father cut one in half!

I grew up with the family that owned the company that sold the sandwitch. ( DeVito Family / La Canada )

Sometimes that bread would get really hard & crunchy... but we ate em anyways lol The toppings would occasionally be frozen off the bun and you'd have to fix it without tearing the bun - it was all part of the experience
