R O's And Catering - Metairie

I typically enjoy this restaurant, but my experience today was disappointing. I had one of the worst softshell crabs I've ever tasted; it wasn't fully fried and the flavor was terrible. To make matters worse, it cost $22.50 for a child's portion. I should have opted for the roast beef po'boy, which is the best in town. Food rating: 1/5.

The cheese fries with gravy were fantastic and had a generous amount of roast beef! The fries were extra crispy and held up well under the gravy. My husband ordered the R&O special po'boy, which he thoroughly enjoyed—it featured roast beef in gravy with ham. I opted for the ham and mozzarella po'boy, which was good, and we also shared a meatball and Italian sausage po'boy loaded with gravy and mozzarella. The gravy was excellent, and the meatball was very flavorful; however, the Italian sausage was a bit too strong for my taste, so I ended up removing it. The service was super friendly and attentive to our needs. I can't wait to return for the lasagna; our server said it's her favorite, and based on the delicious red sauce, I'm sure it's incredible! After lunch, we took a drive to the marina park to check out the boats, which was a nice bonus!

The atmosphere here feels like a warm family gathering. Even during a packed lunch rush, our experience was delightful. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, and our drinks were always filled. Despite being located at the corner of two busy roads, the restaurant maintains a high level of cleanliness. If you're planning to visit with a large group, I recommend calling ahead to ensure they have a table ready for you, as it can get quite busy. I absolutely love R and O's and will definitely return the next time I'm in town!

Used to be my 2nd fav poboy. Got the half n half: half shrimp half oyster. Charged full marked for the oyster. Oysters where too hard and crunchy. Probably the closing time oysters and reheated. Worst part of the poboy.And with each first bite of the pizza the cheese fell off. Also asked for thin crust got thick. And waitress didn’t get the drinks till she saw me looking around for them and I was getting up to get them myself.Unfortunately they just lost a customer.

SO good! Everything was delicious, and the service was outstanding. We will always stop by when we're in town.Food: 5/5
