Roscoe's Bar and Grill

Has some real Louisiana Cajun food. Spiced like I haven't had since I been to New Orleans

This is a "re do" if an old long standing restaurant, reopened for about a year now. Hubs and I were looking for something quick and casual. This popped up and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The owners have taken care to give it some upscale touches. (The ladies restroom is selfie worthy.) There is one pool table, nice dining spots for groups and couples, a dartboard and a really nice couch area with a fireplace. The food was pretty good, drinks and service were great. Happy to have stumbled on this place. Just keep in mind it is a bar. There is music, karaoke the night we were there...the point being if you're looking for some place intimate to have a conversation over dinner this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a good casual time, highly recommend.

Great food. Service was good. The ambience is a total change from the original bar that was there. Jim's bar. Which was where my parents met many years ago. Great hole in the wall and definitely recommend going there.

Roscoe's used to be Jim's. When it was Jim's I rated them three star. Since they've rebuilt the place and rebranded as Roscoes it's five star. Nice clean and modern. Also has great Cajun food.

Excellent food and environmentStaff were friendly and sociable. Super cute inside with great band playing.

Was looking for a new place to grab dinner and a drink. This popped up. You have to try their wings!! Better than any plane we've tried (even Hacketts)! Wait staff was awesome. I had the beef tips and mashed potatoes which was good. We both had drinks from the bar. All in four drinks and two dinners, plus tip was $80. So not too bad with drinks. We will definitely be back!

I'm from out of town, but I'm also a local. I came in with friends tonight and, initially, had nothing but great things to say (the atmosphere and the holidays decorations were great and it's nice Carthage has such a cute bar/place to dine, etc). We appreciated the bar was busy and were patient in waiting at the bar to be seated, and waiting at the bar to get drinks. Waiting. We asked to be seated when we saw a table was available (versus being seated). Again, we patiently waited to be served and then waited approximately 45 minutes to receive 2 of our 3 entrees. As soon as I voiced dissatisfaction with waiting approximately 20 minutes for my entree as my friends consumed their meals, I was met with excuses--no clean plates, the establishment is small, the kitchen is backed up, etc. The owner's daughter, Cara, came over and was immediately defensive, even putting both hands in my face--aggressive and beyond rude. When the waitress gave us the bill, I said my entree should be discounted given I essentially dined alone. Cara came over again, offered a mere 15% off my entree, accused our group of being rude, attacking the server, etc., and demanded that we leave (which we couldn't as they had overcharged us for drinks and we still needed to pay our tab). Cara proceeded with her unprofessional attitude and profound lack of customer service, thanking us for never coming back! She sent a "bouncer" over to stand over us as we paid our tab and gladly left. Customer service is nonexistent at Roscoe's and aggression/defensive/blaming management is---alarming!

The food is great. I've only had the red beans and rice every time I visit. The shrimp and grits are great too. I wish they would have hurricanes all the time. Not just on Fat Tuesday. Service is good. Inside is a big change from when it was Jim's Bar. But it's a great restaurant. On a side note. The restrooms are amazing. Sounds weird. But they have the nicest restrooms in the four states.

April 22, 2033Party of four traveled to Carthage because we heard the food and drink was good: it was average. The music was so loud we could not hear each other speaking. I asked the bartender to turn it down and he complied...barely. Few minutes later right back up even louder. The restaurant at that moment comprised our table and two other couples. There were three people sitting at the bar. They all looked over at us laughing as the bartender cranked the music while looking at me. It's the last time you will see my money.

Driving rt 66 & our motel recommended this place. We sat at the bar - our bartender was great. We left to go & eat somewhere else & wound up coming back here. We had the shrimp & cheesy grits which were amazing & a bargain at $10. Grits were cheesy & the shrimp (6) were seasoned & cooked perfectly. There our flowers everywhere which add a nice touch. The bathrooms are beautiful ( also had flowers ) & clean. Would definitely eat here again.
