We drove to Lake Charles with the intention of visiting a different establishment. However, due to…read moretheir limited hours, we weren't able to visit this time around. While looking for a backup, I came across this place. I was surprised to find that they provided a variation of counter service instead of table service. We ordered at the counter, received a number and the staff later brought the food to us. However, with the beer, we ordered at a different counter and brought it back to the table ourselves. This was a while back, so I'm not sure if things have changed since then. Seating was available indoors (2 levels) and outdoors, complete with live music. We ordered the eagle wings & fries, margherita pizza and pretzels & beer cheese. The chicken wings were dry and the pizza crust was less than desirable. The pretzels were salty, but better once the salt was dusted off. The beer cheese was interesting but not my favorite. Overall, I didn't care for the food. The atmosphere was lively, but I wouldn't return just for that. There's 26 photos that should post with this review.

We ate here last night. It was our first time dining there since they remodeled and reopened after…read morethe hurricane. The renovations are top-notch. Such a beauty! We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server, Carson, did an amazing job. He was courteous, prompt, and attentive. We were a party of four and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our drink, appetizer and meal. We ordered Shrimp Ya-Ya as an appetizer after being recommended by Carson, and it definitely didn't disappoint! So much flavor. Three of us ordered stuffed red snapper and loved it. Portion, presentation and flavor were superb! We each had different sides and loved them. The fourth guest in our party ordered a seafood platter and I was surprised to see a nice amount. The manager, Cole, was extremely friendly and even took the time to give us a little history of the restaurant. The dessert ordered for my sister-in-law's birthday was delicious-chocolate lava is a must! We ended the night purchasing some seasoning after enjoying the flavor of our food. We will definitely return!

After hearing from several people that we "had to check out Darrell's," we finally decided to hit…read moreit up for lunch. We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

I…read morearrived at peak time on Saturday it seemed since the parking lot was packed, and once inside, also packed. It took a few mins to clean the last open table. The menus are on the table but you really don't need a menu here since there are only a few items. Everyone comes here for po-boys obviously and they have a few to choose from. The top 2 choices are the most common, the special and the surf and turf. To me, what makes a good po-boy, is the bread....like many other sandwiches. If you have great bread, you're usually making a good sandwich. I tried the small special, while the rest of the table tried either the special or surf and turf. They don't have a formal kids menu, but they just have either PB&J or grilled cheese. We tried the grilled cheese. My fav ended up being the surf and turf due to it being cleaner to eat and more variety of taste and texture between the bread. I liked the special, but I forgot to ask the server to remove the American cheese, so it made it taste funny and would have been better without it.

The staff was super sweet! We waited almost an entire hour for a table, which we knew going in on a…read morefriday night. We were seated and taken care of- but then waited almost an additional hour for food. We arrived at 6:30 and didn't eat until almost 8:30- which was a little frustrating. Again- I realize it was a Friday night, but have had much better experiences at the downtown location. I also got the Maui Salmon (my Go To!) and the shrimp wasn't peeled properly, but that's just me being extra picky. It was good, just very slow service.

There were three of us, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed until closing! We started with the Crab Beignets and the Bone Marrow Tartare. I had never tried bone marrow tartare before, but it was absolutely incredible. The combination of prime tenderloin tartare, bone marrow, garlic aioli, and chimichurri purée was unique and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we had the Lobster Pasta, Mushroom Pasta with Chicken, and the Power Bowl with Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. The Power Bowl was especially flavorful, and I absolutely loved the sauce. The lobster pasta was rich and delicious, and the mushroom pasta was perfectly prepared. To finish, we shared the Brownie in a Cup, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Christiano was a fantastic server and took great care of us. The menu is innovative and the flavors are on point.

The brownie in a cup dessert was my personal favorite, but the nutty cheesecake is surprisingly light and delicious also. All in all, Calla's got it all going on and you can't miss it. Cheers!
