Last chance for gumbo

With many excellent restaurants in town, folks may think twice about driving to nearby Sunshine for lunch or dinner. But those who have dined at Roberto’s River Road Restaurant know that a few extra minutes of drive time off the beaten path is definitely worth the trip.

Roberto’s serves traditional Creole food in a quaint country setting, housed in the former J.J. LaPlace & Sons general store facing the Mississippi River levee.

On these last cool days before spring, nothing hits the spot like gumbo, and in an area where gumbo is almost a necessity on the menu, Roberto’s hits the mark with a classic seafood version.
