So Louisiana Joe's in Rockville Center is this little sandwich shop with a New Orleans style supermarket next to it. It's so cute. Only got the jambalaya, & it is excellent!; everything looked & smelled delicious clean and fresh!

Just had an incredible bowl of chicken gumbo and great vegetarian Cobb salad here. It’s hard for me to find a place I love eating at but this is my go to for lunch around my workplace. Never a bad meal. They let me stay to eat in dining area even after their closing at 3pm. Great place!

I absolutely love Louisiana Joe's! From the service to the food, everything is always on point. Some of my favorites include the Gator Burger, Shrimp Gumbo, Steak Tidbits, Brisket, and the French Dip. I also love trying out their specials – they never disappoint. If you’re looking for delicious food with great service, this is the place to go!

Food was fantastic. We ordered poboys. The blackend chicken poboy was so good! The side was cajun fries we ordered was amazing as well. It does take awhile for your order, but that's not a bad thing at all. Everything is made fresh when you order, so quality is top notch. They request that you do not make/request any substitutions, and within good reason. They have curated their menu to perfection and want you to that the full experience. The shop is a small town shop, alot of the people going there are locals, and they know each other. Real hometown vibe! It was real homey feeling. Can't wait to visit more and try out the rest of their menu!

This place should get 6 stars! Unbelievably good quality, when you take that first bite you know right away this place is the real deal and stands out among many local takeout spots. We have been ordering from here for years but finally dined in for the first time this week. Very welcoming, and uplifting, atmosphere and staff.

This place is a hidden gem. I almost don't even want to post about it. Everything is made fresh so def call before going, it takes time, but sooo worth the wait. I've been going there for years. Food never changes, the menu gets new items but the quality is what never changes. The place is amazing. I have never had a bad dish. Highly recommend getting -the bull. The finest Chicken cutlet oerfectlt fried with bacon egg and cheese on a super soft hero. Perfect!

Outside of going to New Orleans on my annual pilgrimage this is the best restaurant I have been to and I finally found a great place locally. Glad I found this place. Don’t forget to buy the cornbread.

The food here is excellent. I've been here a few times and tried different dishes. I've tried the Creole Shrimp, Blackened Catfish (without the wrap) and the Chicken Pot Pie and they were all super delicious. There's so much flavor in the food here!
