I'm spending the day/night down there on vacation Saturday. I wanted to get out of the city for a couple of days. Rocky's is on deck for lunch.

Had an Rx rep presentation down there at Meme's a few months ago. I really enjoyed it. Had the chicken livers and grits as an app followed by some char-grilled oysters. For my meal I had their catch of the day, which was black drum, topped with crab meat. Seems like it would be your kind of place arse. They also had about 5 different specials for the day.

Too far. I'd have to cross the green bridge and navigate through Venetian Isles. It's probably closer by boat.

I heard some things. Is this the same as the Arabi Food Store?

I may say "frick it" and just dine at Rocky's.

MeMe's in Chalmette

Old Arabi Eats in Arabi, not Arabi Food Store. It is on St Claude/St Bernard Highway.

I give a nod to Old Arabi Eats, but haven't had MeMe's for a full dinner.

ETA: Not sure you will be running back to either of these, but I was impressed when finding Old Arabi Eats.

Only pic I have from Old Arabi Eats
fried green tomatoes, smoked salmon, housemade tartar sauce

Forgot about this one


BLTT(urkey), minus the tomatoes (I don't like fresh tomatoes). Carved roasted turkey and handcut fries.

Became my usual lunch place when they were open for lunch. Bread was made inhouse as well.

No clue. I've never been to this one. I assume it's not as fancy as the Marina in Slidell.

Old Arabi Eats is fantastic. The Arabi Grocery has very good roast beef poboys and muffalottas.

So are you staying in Slidell or Chalmette?

Is the Marigny/Bywater too far of a drive for food?

I'm staying in Chalmette. I don't want to have to cross any bridge to eat.

Some people have told me I need to check out the Levee Bar.

go to Old Arabi Eats on St.Claude just past Friscoville (like your heading toward the lower 9).

There applewood smoked bacon mushroom cheeseburge is freaking delicious...has homemade/cut fries and pickles on the burger.

Also they make a half decent old-fashion.

For lunch the next day, go to Arabi Foodstore for a Roast Beef Poboy or Potatoe Poboy (my favorite) or Muffaletta.

Arabi Foodstore is on Friscoville towards the river. (I believe intersection is Friscoville and Royal.
