I grabbed a couple of piping hot crawfish pies, not because I like crawfish pie, but because I would love to find one that was as good as it sounds. The search continues. While the pie crust was superb, and price was very reasonable, filling was skimpy. Given that I'm not a huge fan of crawfish, perhaps the hint of filling was better.

This place has been here for a while and they just want to serve a good meal with no frills. They'll promptly greet you when you walk in the door. Take a seat and make your pick off the menu. We opted to share the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes & green beans. Portions were plentiful and they were kind enough to split the portions in the kitchen before serving so we each got our own plate full of deliciousness. These are real homemade sides, nothing out of a can! The green beans were soft and flavorful and the mashed taters were fluffy and thick that would stick to the ceiling if you tossed them up! Lol! Try the cracklins! OMG! Fresh made to order! Buy by the lb of specific dollar amount. Overall a delicious food experience. We will definitely be stopping in again when in the area. Don't be put off by the location (it's next to a small casino), you'll be glad you stopped in!

Let me try to convince you to try it first. Near the Louisiana- Texas border this cafe is attached to a truck stop and casino. The inside has a country feel to it and the staff were more than friendly. Been to my share of these kind of places and they are hit / miss at best. This one is a hit for once. The pepper jack boudin egg roll is different but worth the try. We went simple with both grilled and fried chicken and surprisingly it was good. Prices are more than reasonable and overall it was a good experience as we were pressed for time to get back on the road. Like most greasy spoons the restrooms are not great but good enough for a quick wash up. Didn't have time to play the slots but since my Cajun is a bit rusty , wasn't sure where to cash out if I won.

That should have been my sign to leave, but we gave them a chance. The service was slow for a fast food place. I ordered a poboy and it was terrible. You could tell they just heated the shrimp up in the microwave and they were already cooked. They tasted fishy and gross. They put tartar sauce on it that was crunchy. No flavor whatsoever. My kids ordered the boneless wings, which were chicken tenders heated up in the microwave and dipped in bbq sauce. The restrooms didn't smell bad but the toilets were stained yellow and brown and looked like they haven't been scrubbed in years. Honestly, this place needs a health inspection. Just nasty.

After a few more bites I was greeted with another long blonde hair. Well time to leave that good ol Yelp review. Be wary of long blonde hairs in your food everyone. Also don't order the egg/fur burger. I won't be back.

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.
