    The oysters are on point!!! The steak sandwich is large but has no taste. The TKO drink is so so, not worth the cost of the very plastic souvenir glass. Our server took our order and only came back when asked to or to bring the check: The oyster appetizer came after the meal came. Oh, and the mushroom stuffing was thinned down spinach artichoke dip, which looked really good at the other table.

    We were extremely let down by this establishment. We did our best to call early to avoid the crowd, but the message said that due to high volumes of calls, they weren’t answering the phone. We decided to walk in and place a takeout order in person, only to be told they were too busy and wouldn’t take our order. Unfortunately, that kind of customer service left a really bad impression, and we ended up finding somewhere else to get pizza. Very disappointing experience.

    We had an excellent dinner at Papa Rocco’s! The pizza was hot and fresh and the spaghetti was a hit with the kids. Great oyster selection too. Our server was very attentive and checked on us frequently to keep us updated on our food. It did take a while to get the food, but everything was hot and fresh when it came out and we expected to be waiting a bit as they were quite busy. Would definitely be a place we would return to and would recommend!

    Visiting from Indiana and our kids wanted spaghetti for dinner. That being said if we lived here we'd probably eat her 2x a week. It was our favorite place visting gulf shores. Literally perfect for our family. Pizza, pasta, burgers, seafood. I mean where else can I get my oysters rockefeller & Alfredo. We loved this place. Food was perfect and service was even better. We will 100% be back

    Please take my advice and others and TAKE YOUR BUSSINESS ELSEWHERE. I ordered a cheese pizza here along with cheese sticks and the chicken club pizza for my wife and our 10 year old.. This was on 9/18 the Pizza on the outside looked amazing.. My wife took one bite of the Chicken club Pizza and dough started falling out of it where it was not cooked properly in the middle. The cheese pizza was doughy as well but not as bad and the cheese sticks were good.. However I called the restaurant the same night and spoke with someone who says his name is NICK and I tell him what's going on and then he tells me to call the next day and speak with a manager.. I asked for his name one more time so I could write it down and he tells me DUSTY.. No where close to the same name but its the same person.. None the less I call on 9/19 at 12:49 CST and speak with the manager who apologizes and tells me she will find me my order in the system which was called in and placed on 9/18 at 9:55PM CST and will refund me for my Chicken Club pizza and leave me a voicemail when she does.. All I ASKED FOR WAS A REFUND TO THAT ONE PIZZA because the cheese was okay.. HERE WE ARE ON 9/24 AND I HAVE NO CALL FROM THIS PLACE NOR A REFUND SENT TO MY BANK ACCOUNT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR UNCOOKED CRAPPY BAR FOOD AT THE BEACH MADE BY PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR WORD GO HERE!!!
