Rocky & Carlo's: Restaurant & Bar

Rocky and Carlos's has been around for over 60 years. Tommy is currently at the helm and he runs a tight ship. The macaroni is iconic and enough to feed three. I remember ordering the macaroni as a teenager. The fried shrimp and oysters are fried to perfection. The Italian food selection is extensive and so satisfying. The community is what sets this restaurant apart from other parish restaurants. Everyone knows somebody or knows everybody. It turns into a social scene that makes you happy. They either went to school together, and I mean, early childhood development, grammar or high-school. Many are related. When you bring together great food and good people, its a place to call home.

A true local neighborhood restaurant. Lots of variety to choose from. There is a cafeteria style with daily specials. However, you can order off the menu. I know many who love their mac & cheese. It's unique and ok, but personally, I love creamy cheesy baked macaroni & cheese. This is not that kind. But I did like their Muffaletta despite it needing more olive oil with It's salad. The stuffed artichoke was good. The fried shrimp was good, too. My family enjoyed their food and trip here. The staff was amazing and friendly. It's worth a try with so many options and the large servings.

Simplicity awesome food with large portions! Had the small order of macaroni and cheese, couldn't finish it with the other food! Oyster were perfectly fried! Also had the WOP salad and a fried soft shell crab! Great service and food! Glad we got there at opening because within 20 minutes there was a long line ordering and the place became packed!

All menu items come with an excessive amount of food. Get in line to order and pay then a staff member will bring you your food. Not as busy as some other po boy places but at least as good.

The hype over the mac and cheese is way overboard. It’s not that special. It’s not a creamy mac and cheese but more on the dry side needing gravy on it. I ordered the hamburger steak with the aforementioned. As others mentioned, the ground meat lacks flavor. It needs plenty help in the seasoning department. Though I did very much enjoy the grilled onion topping and the brown gravy that covered both. The portions are enough for more than one person. Portion size doesn’t take the place to flavor. .
