I can’t believe I missed this painting of the original location on Lake Street by campus (LSU) on my first couple of trips to the Rocco’s on Drusilla. This is the original store located underneath the Chimes Street Washateria around twenty five years ago. After digging into the bbq beef poboy, I had a lot of confidence in the philly style and the roast beef and gravy and neither disappointed. I got the roast beef with gravy, swiss and raw onions. Magnificent. The philly came with provolone and grilled peppers and onions. The onion strings were good and crisp and fresh, and it’s always nice to be able to get a bottle of Barq’s with your meal. Still got a ways to go before I travel the whole Rocco’s menu, but I’m game. Looking to try the ham and cheese next I think.
