Lots of good stuff on the menu. The spaghetti and meatballs is awesome. I like to get the breaded veal over mac & cheese with plenty of red sauce on top. Get an extra cup of red sauce on the side. But really, you can’t go wrong.
The only time I get something different is on Wednesdays when they serve the bruccilloni. I get the bruccilloni over baked mac & cheese with plenty of red sauce. They only serve the bruccilloni on Wednesdays.
The one thing that is an absolute must, however, is that you get a large plate of potato salad. Rocky's has the best potato salad on the planet. They give you enough so that you can take some home.

I'm a big fan of their fried seafood. This time of year will find me either getting an oyster po-boy or oyster plate since it is what I consider prime oyster season. Their oysters are large and fried to perfection being crispy on the outside and still moist and delicious on the inside.
My wife is a big fan of the veal and mac & cheese, although she doesn't like gravy with it.
On a couple occasions I've had their steak and it too is done very well being broiled in their salamander type broiler.

I wholeheartedly agree. My grandparents lived down in da Parish up until Katrina. Whenever my brother and I would go down there they would always bring us to Rocky and Carlo's because they knew how much we loved it. I would always get either a shrimp/oyster Poboy or meatballs and spaghetti.
Later on, my grandfather was the one who turned me onto the veal/bruccilloni and baked mac & cheese when I was in college.
No matter what we got, we always got the potato salad.
My grandparents both passed away shortly after Katrina, so going to Rocky's is very nostalgic for me and brings back a lot of good memories.

I've been eating food prepared by Rocky & Carlo before there was a Rocky & Carlo's and they worked at Angelo's a bit farther down St. Bernard Hwy. when they first came over from Italy.
Once they broke away from Angelo and formed their own business, that helped put an end to Angelo's business.

Roast beef poboy, mac n' cheese, and a side of red gravy at Rocky and Carlos

When I was a kid, we caught every parade at Angelo's. Had no idea there was a Rocky's connection.
