POBOYS, & SEAFOOD
a mound of French fries smothered with roast beef debris gravy and shredded cheddar. A side of jalapeños makes for a great additional kick.
When it comes to the main course, Taranto’s has you covered. They offer an extensive list of poboys served pressed and dressed on fresh French bread. From fried shrimp to oysters to crabmeat, Taranto’s poboy game is strong. Pair your choice with onion rings and hushpuppies for the full fried experience. Looking to kick the bread cause you’re “watching” your carbs? Have your breaded and deep-fried goodness served platter style. Try the fresh catfish fillets, which are never frozen and are hand-battered to order. Looking to satisfy your red-meat cravings? The hand-cut ribeye is legit delicious. Lightly salted and peppered and grilled to order, the ribeye is 10 ounces of pure carnivorous goodness.
Now, while everything up to this point has been incredible, a place known for their ability to boil the perfect crawfish
no doubt can boil up a host of other yummy crustaceous delights. Arnie’s boiled platters are the perfect way to get that delicious Taranto’s boiled taste when crawfish are out of season. Boiled shrimp, royal reds, dungeness and snow crabs are on the menu and the flavor is on point. Easy to peel and served with potatoes and corn, Arnie’s platters are a hands- down fave.
The Taranto’s team recognizes that their location off the beaten path of your typical coastal favorites means they
have to work a littler harder to ensure that any experience
at Taranto’s is well worth the journey. And it definitely is. Whether it’s your first time there or your tenth, the staff at Taranto’s wants you to feel like its the best experience you’ve ever had. With its easy and laidback atmosphere and friendly staff ready to greet you, Taranto’s is the kind of place you can go and know that you are gonna leave full and satisfied.
