It’s a sports bar yes…but we went during quiet time I guess. Got in, ate, and left. The poboys were absolutely delish as always and the bread is chefs kiss!!

First time at this local place i ordered the shrimp po’boy. The shrimp were disgusting, the shrimp weren’t deveined. I asked for a turkey replacement, they told me they would have to charge me for the shrimp po’boy that i didnt eat and also the turkey sandwich as well. So i paid for a sandwich that i didn't eat at all. Poor customer service, i will never come here again and I will never recommend this to anyone.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Bubba Contreras · Oct 2025

Been coming to Darrell’s for over 20 years. Shrimp PoBoy now has less shrimp (use to be loaded with shrimp that would fall out) with excessive mayo. Roll was good, but that’s about it. Very disappointing. Not worth making the extra effort (I drove from out of town) for this once exceptional sandwich (why pay more for less). Was ordering PoBoy to go and told to order it at the bar. The person who took the order was RUDE, pushy and she had an attitude. That equated to a big fat ZERO of a tip. Don’t waste your time ordering a Shrimp PoBoy from Darrell’s…they’ve lost the recipe.

Great place to dine. We ALWAYS stop in on our visits to Lake Charles! Everything is always fresh amd delicious! They have several tvs around so you can catch whatever games are playing. They have always been packed when we come so that says alot already! Everyone is very friendly. They do have a nice bar area as well. Great for hangouts!

We came here thinking this place was known for its food. The poboys are very good but this is a sports bar. If you don’t mind college guys yelling at the bar homophobic comments while you’re eating then this place is fine. I recommend the spicy sausage poboy. I wish they would offer homemade sides instead of bagged chips. At least offer made in Louisiana chips like Zapps.
