Darrel's in Lake Charles. Worth the drive. I recently ate at Rodair Roadhouse in Port Arthur. Not sure if they have poboys but everything we had was great.
A little bitty place in Hackberry, La. called "The Park" has a wonderful Shrimp PoBoy. Its not Beaumont, but....
Beaumont really isn't known for their food. The usual suspects, Papadeauxs, believe it or not has a fine steak. Richards Cafe' in the downtown area is great home cooking/soul food with a French flair to it, highly recommend the Ox tail stew.
If you want Cajun cooking, look up Judices in Pt Neches or Larrys French Market in Groves....less crime there too. Judices Shrimp Platter is pretty good and they are still serving boiled crawfish now also.
There is no real substitute for a Darrel’s Po-Boy IMO. The Darrel Special and the Surf-N-Turf are my two favorites. Not technically Beaumont area but you could get to LC in 40-45 minutes pretty easy. Some good recommendations above. You should eat good while you’re around.
All good info posted above. I am in Orange/BC area but eat all over the area each day with customers.
Judices in BC has had $3/lb for the last couple of weeks and they are good, it's more of a cafe style place. The Judices in Nederland is a touch more upscale with different menu. Reel Cajun does have the best flavor but they are pricey and lots of different spice level options. Kimmy's Cafe in Port Arthur(near the mall) for Breakfast and Lunch is great. The new deal is the old school BBQ crabs at Mama Jacks in Kountze, buffet on Friday and Saturday nights. These are as close as we've found to Sartin's and Channel Inn.
Another place to try is 1701 Barbecue in Beaumont. It is very good, lunch only Tuesday-Saturday from 11-2 or they run out. Daddios in Beaumont and Nederland for burgers. Carlitos and Elenas for Mexican in Beaumont. La Suprema and El Viejo Tony's in Nederland. Street style tacos at Carmelas in Beaumont or Nederland, $1 each on Tuesdays.

Just my opinion but Buffi's Peaux Boys in Lake Charles is better. They were close to the old Darrell's but with the storms, they are now on Broad Street. Exceptional service and great food.
For the same style sandwich in Texas, Woogies in Vidor is an exact copy as well as High Tides in Bridge City, with the latter being on the water and a huge outdoor bar scene.

PM for any other info.
Mike pretty much nailed it except reel Cajun lol never been a fan.
For Cajun food don’t miss Floyd’s
Tia Juanitas is pretty hard to beat (probably your best place for a poboy)
sure do miss a good Ol'Po boy,, growing up in Galveston, i member the The best one was and i think still is the Shrimp-N-Stuff on Ave O, before the Hurricane took it the Shrimp Basket on the Seawall @ 22nd was the best
