KY's Olde Towne Bicycle Shop occupies a building at 2267 Carey Street with a longer history than its name lets on. Built in 1902 as a millinery store, it later became Carollo's Grocery under Italian immigrant Andrea Carollo, and for 23 years after that it operated as Slidell Bicycle and Lawnmower Shop — the source of the restaurant's name when KY's took over the space in 1992.
The menu runs through Louisiana comfort-food staples: fried oyster and shrimp platters, po-boys, seafood pasta dishes like oyster bordelaise and shrimp with tasso fettuccine, hand-pressed burgers including the KY Burger, and daily specials chalked on a board. It's straightforward, seafood-and-sandwich casual dining built for regulars rather than occasions.
