Good hot fried chicken from Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken and Seafood…read more I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana working in Lake Charles, and I pass by this restaurant daily to and from work. On Tuesday 02/27/24 at 7:30PM, I visited the location located at 401 E. Prien Lake Rd in Lake Charles, LA 70601 to give them a tray and I wasn't disappointed. The building is updated, and the parking lot was very clean. Upon entering the lobby, I could smell the aroma of the fried chicken. The order taking area and the lobby were both clean and guest friendly. The customer service was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive to my needs. Since this was my first visit to this location, the customer service order taker took her time to help me navigate the simple menu and offered suggestions to help me place my order. I only wanted chicken, so I ordered chicken by the piece (breast, leg, & wing) which totaled $7.67 with tax. My order was quickly expedited and ready in less than 3 minutes. The chicken was hot, delicious, and served with a roll; however, the chicken does have a little kick to it (spicy), but I like spicy food with a kick. Unlike, Popeyes, the pieces are big and crunchy. Not only was I thanked with a smile for patronizing the business after receiving my order, but an employee outside who was on break took the time to acknowledge me and thanked. Thank you to the staff at this location for making me feel like a valued customer.

Some of the sides were pretty basic and bland while others I thought right on. For instance, the ranch style beans were very bland and kind of felt like they were either stale or just not cooked correctly while the cheesy scalloped potatoes were fantastic! All of the meats were good however my favorite was the baked chicken and the hot wings. We tried their bread pudding for dessert and it was delicious. Star mention is their fresh wheat rolls which in my opinion are the same caliber as Texas Roadhouse rolls, so light fluffy and buttery! All in all for ONLY $15.99 all you can eat including drink it was a decently good meal and we both gave it a 7/10 in taste but a 10/10 in value

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.
