Roly Poly

Office building food is a convenience rather than a choice most times, like the airport, but I enjoy and appreciate this one so came here to say. I work in One Shell Square, and this is the place I go to for a good, quick lunch. The owner and staff are friendly, the quality consistent, the food is good and priced right, particularly compared with the rest of the in-​house restaurants. I’ve tried this place most of almost anyplace in town since I’m in the building 5 days a week, and order differently each time — each yummy.

I used to walk by and eat at this place all the time. When I took a job a little ways away in the CBD, my coworker and I tried multiple times to get delivery and each time was a disaster. I don’t understand how a business who makes the bulk of its profits form lunch service in the CBD can be so reckless and rude with delivery service. Long waits, countless times the phone is placed off the hook– even AFTER you have placed an order online (which is alarming, to say the least because after you order online it tells you to «verify your payment with the restaurant») and your card has been deducted and you are waiting over an hour and no one is answering because they took the phone off the hook. We have literally called there then sent over faxes because they told us they take their phone off the hook when it gets busy. Like … really? If its so busy that you have to leave your customers waiting or take your phone off the hook, don’t provide delivery service! Its that simple. I used to love getting their wraps, but know what? I have NO love for a business that treats repeat customers that way. There are too many other options in the CBD that value their customers more.

Nothing to write home about, but better than the offerings in One Shell, and reasonably priced. Also, if I want a caloric breakdown of menu items, I’ll read the back of some packaged food. Seriously, if you’re counting calories then maybe you should make your own lunch, or make better choices of what’s available, before categorically slamming a place because you’re on a diet.

Lay down a tortilla. Slap down a slice of cheese. Slap down a slice of lunch meat. Roll it up. You have a roly poly.
Go for the warm ones, they seem to have more flavor. I will sometimes walk into a meeting in my office and see them offered to me for «free» (I get to work overtime for this joy) and I will actually stick to water and go buy a pack of peanuts later instead.
Don’t be fooled that a wrap is «healthy” – nutritionally a tortilla is a piece of bread with the air pressed out of it. The healthier fillings of these things seem to lack substance – let’s do some math:
Typical 6» Roly Poly = 300 calories
½ of a 12″ white flour tortilla (used in the wraps) = 180 calories
That leaves about 120 calories for the fillings. Eep. I think my opinion of this place just dropped by running the numbers.

good bbq chicken wrap!

I really dig their rolled sandwiches & soups — my fav sandwiches are the Chicken Popper & the Nut & Honey!
My favorite soups are their Spring Asparagus or the Harvest Mushroom — SOOO good!!! I also like the Tomato & will get that if one of the other 2 aren’t available.
The staff are swift & friendly! Keep up the good work ya’ll!!!

Decent wraps in the NOLA CBD. It can get crowded inside, but when it’s nice out, I like to eat my lunch on the outside steps with my buddies.
