I've driven past Carollo's a million times over the last 5 years and have never once had the desire to stop in - it's about the seediest-looking place you can picture. Â However, it kept coming up with rave reviews on my Yelp searches, so I decided to give it a shot for takeout. Â Boy, was that a great decision! Â The food is AMAZING and the portions are gigantic. Â Great value for what you pay.
Only two complaints that are holding me back from a 5-star review:
1) describing the bar as a dive is a compliment. Â I am always extremely uncomfortable waiting for my food, bc the atmosphere is THAT seedy. Â As long as they offer takeout and delivery, you couldn't pay me enough to eat there (the food is so good that I might reconsider if that was the only way to get it). Â
2) Apparently they don't have a website, which is ridiculous. Â I found a picture of half of an old menu on a google search and I use that and other Yelpers' reviews to order. Â If you're going to offer takeout and delivery, why on earth wouldn't you have an online menu??
I love this place! For a dive bar, it has great atmosphere and crowd. The food is f'n unbelievable! You need to try everything in their menu. They have huge portions for those with a big appetite. The bartenders and staff are awesome. They'll get you what you want and will always check up on you to make sure you're taken care of. This is a great spot to go to and I suggest you stop by and experience it yourself.
Review Source:The food is fantastic! Whether you're in the mood for a simple cheesesteak, or something fancy - the plate they'll put down in front of you is guaranteed delicious!!! Their seafood bisque is to die for, as is their Chicken Oscar. Even though the seating is tight and the place isn't much to look at, we keep coming back again & again!
