Think Diners, Dives and Drive Inns or Anthony Bourdian, No Reservations. Adrian was our server and was the star of the night curating the perfect Cajun expierence for me while ensuring my not so Cajun curious wife was handled with care. Seafood Gumbo was excellent followed by the Catfish Billy, which is 2 dishes in one. Crawfish ettoufie with a fried catfish filet served atop with a portion "crawfish gravy" ! The flavors and textures were perfection and the crunch of the catfish added character along with a crunch that wouldn't allow you to stop eating. The Carrott Cake was ordered to go and was the perfect breakfast with a black coffee pour over the next morning. To be fair when we pulled into the parking lot we thought oh maybe we had hit the very edge of our find a "joint" ambition. Once inside the vibe of dive and/or joint hits hard but if you pay attention you will pick up on the volume of tables, which is evidence of the volume of patrons that frequent this local hideaway. We were there on a Wed night after the typical 5-630 dinner time so it was quiet. Adrian was welcoming and attentive, ensuring our needs were not simply met but exceeded. The best Resturant review isn't one that simply mashed the 5 stars, rather it's one that declares if I were local I would be a regular, in this case at Robert's River Road Resturant. PS - my wife got chicken strips that came with enough to serve a family of three. The lefties will be turned into a chicken Po Boy for a lunch

We arrived around 6:30 on a Friday night. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was there…read morequickly to offer us drinks and appetizers. The appetizer,, the fried green tomatoes with a wonderful topping were phenomenal!!!! I would come back to this restaurant just for the fried green tomatoes. My only complaints/suggestion would be that the fried green tomatoes were hot and dressing was cold. Maybe the dressing should be brought to room temperature? Bread was not offered until our entrées were served. The bread was lukewarm. In my opinion, bread should be offered when drinks are offered. My husband ordered a salad, and I ordered a hot entrée. Apparently, they were waiting for the hot entrée before they brought the salad. Because of that, my husband's crawfish were cold on his salad. I had stuffed shrimp. Not quite sure what they were stuffed with, but I would not order that again. Our waitress was not as attentive as she could/should have been, especially in light of the fact that the restaurant was not near full. It will be a minute before we go back to Roberto's.

We ordered the 50-50 catfish and shrimp combo and the c'est la vie potato. With our tea and lemonade, the total came to $47.64. Unfortunately, the meal definitely did not meet our expectations. The fish and shrimp were small, the potato was small and undercooked in the middle and hard to chew. Only saw two small bites of crabmeat in the sauce. Well, the food itself had an acceptable flavor, it just was not enough to be satisfying. We left hungry and ended up stopping somewhere else to eat. I will say the waitress was nice. This was my first visit and my last.
