Roast Beef & Gravy
Homemade Roast Beef on Gendusa bread, dressed with mayo, lettuce, tomato and our legendary gravy.
Pirate’s Cove Restaurant — specializing in Po-Boys on authentic New Orleans bread from John Gendusa’s Bakery, delivered fresh daily. Our homemade roast beef in gravy and fresh Gulf seafood have been a staple of life on the Coast since 1972.

Local Gulf of America shrimp. Hand battered and fried to a golden crisp. Dressed with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. Best enjoyed on the deck with a cold one.
Straight from the Gulf to our Po-Boys.
Creamy sweet corn, fried golden. This crowd pleaser pairs perfectly with our Po-Boys & a Barq’s.
John Gendusa Bakery opened in New Orleans in 1922. Later that decade he baked a long, even French bread for Bennie and Clovis Martin — the loaf tied to the 1929 streetcar strike. Crisp on the outside, cotton-soft inside. That same bread rolls into Pass Christian so a Pirate’s Cove po-boy tastes like the real thing.
“Light and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside — it’s why people make the trip.”

We have been feeding the Coast since August 17th, 1972. First on the 1300 block of East Beach, now on Menge Ave. We are family owned by Patrick and Mary Keith Puckett Rusbridge. Our General Manager, Dave Necaise, has been on the Pirate’s Cove team since 1985.
Grab a picnic table, send the kids to Pac-Man, and wash it down with a cold bottled Barq’s. We are one of the largest Barq’s retailers on the Gulf Coast for a reason.
Yellow Pirate’s Cove gift cards are at the register. Use them for roast beef and gravy, Gulf shrimp, a Barq’s, and whatever else the Coast is hungry for.
