Rocco’s Poboys - Drusilla

Based on the recs of this board I decided to check out Rocco’s today. Hadn’t been there in many, many years. I ordered the “Crescent City Combo” with a side of extra gravy. I assumed the gravy would be the debris gravy from their roast beef. Instead I proceeded to watch as the guy went to back and pulled out an industrial-sized can of generic brown gravy, opened the top, and dumped it into a big vat and then layered it on the sandwich and filled a little cup with it for the extra I’d requested. When he brought it to me I asked, “Wait, y’all use canned gravy?” to which he replied, “I mean yeah, we can’t make it fresh every day.” I should’ve told him I didn’t want it but I’d already paid and I was hungry. Brought it home, took one bite, and threw it in the trash. It was fricking terrible.

One in Prairieville was horrible....
Between service and prices I quit going after a few visits....
You would be the only one in, sitting at the bar and have issues getting a new beer. Sandwich would come out cold and wrong.... people just didn't care

Yeah, that looks like garbage. I would have thrown it away too.
Not to hijack, but I got a catfish poboy the other day and didn’t question the toppings (which was on me), but when I got home I looked and it came smothered in cocktail sauce. I’ve never seen that before in my life. Threw it away immediately.

roccos is gross. No idea how that place stays open

Rocco’s has been like this. I don’t get how he keeps the doors open anymore.

And you probably paid $18 for that

I used to go to the original on corner of Chimes behind McDs as a student when Troy opened in late '80s/early '90s, and also with a friend to Drusilla location over 15 years ago.
His Manager Bert ran Drusilla well for TRoc for a while in early 2000s. The seafood muff with catfish, shrimp, and oysters, was really good. But, even then TRoc was AWOL trying to be a Prairieville politician or spent his time exclusively out there at new location. It slid and slid, and I haven't been in 12 years or more, despite living close by. I view the guy in the same lite as Louis De Angelo or even a Phillippe Parolla,etc..talented guy that had a winner..but burnt out or just fumbled it all away.
I go to Maxwell's, Eliza, Jed's, Parrain's, Montalbano's, Philly Me Up, Off the Hook,Iverstine, PBE, etc..

It wasn't bad when it opened, I went years after and I would prefer Subway over Rocco's.

Maybe if you went more often than “many, many years” they could afford to make gravy from scratch

JED's isn't that good either
Even Lafayette has better po boy places than Baton Rouge

I second this... have been to Jed's twice and wont be back. I don't understand the hype.

Pop’s is a special place

I think Heads and Tails makes a solid poboy.

I love Heads and Tails, but Michael Cashio is taking a break for now. His Shrimp Poboy was/is great.

Who has best Seafood poboy in BR?

That gravy glop looks disgusting. They could at least buy a good beef base and make a gravy. They could simmer some debris in it for added flavor.

Rocco’s is awful and it costs a small fortune
