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.

The order got here quickly, but, the sub was dressed. My autistic son doesn't do that. Plain Jane, all the way. He probably didn't hear me say "Plain", but made no excuses. Shawn sent Taylor back, but, with a ham and cheese unwich, and a big ol cookie. But, my son still couldn't eat that. That man was prepared to make our whole order again, just to get it right! I had to stop him from a repeat on mine. Only wanted the sub. Not ONE complaint. No excuses. That store is slammed and the drive-thru, with all this horrendous weather, is non-stop, also. For the record, Taylor never lost her smile, and made sure we were satisfied before she drove away. Give this place a shot, y'all! Teddy Nall

Very Ugly and acted like I was a bother to her because she had to wait on me (CUSTOMER) then when I went to the next employee to fix my order and I told her extra onions then the first employee looked at me and tells the other employee I Hate when customers ask for extra stuff on their sandwich!!! Really!! I honestly think this employee had a problem with the color of my skin by her attitude and it's very much not appropriate for a Company to hire people who disrespect customers who are patronizing your establishment!! After I spent $40 for my order I e made the decision to Never Return to this Lake Charles location!! I will take my business and Money down the road!!!

The "Dad/owner" came by and chatted with us before we left and it was a wonderful experience. Only reason I gave a 4 star is because they were out of a few side items. Highly recommend and will be back!

So he ordered a pulled pork sandwitch, about 3 or 4 sausage links, and some brisket...total bill -more than $80!!! I should have learned from that experience. But yesterday, I ordered a 1/4 chicken and a pulled pork sandwitch. Meat was reasonably priced. But, I made the mistake of including pint of their "homemade coleslaw" to go with the meal without asking the price. Contents were chopped cabbage, with a little bit of something added - cost $14!!! For that much money, I could have bought more than 16 lbs of cabbage at WalMart! So, IF I return, I've learned to order only meat, that's expensive enough.

It's an establishment with a PURPOSE! They raise monies for charities!! My first visit was so very impressionable! We sat and visited with the owner. This man is kindhearted and down to earth! He owns it, runs it, trains his own employees with the kindest, most patient heart, and he works there! A man with a mission and integrity! He told us all about his business and their goals. He is very community minded. Before I even received my food, I was ready well hooked! The workers had tables set up along the walls with boxes of food items stacked. They were making care packages to send to the Hurricane Ida victims!! They won my heart and my business!! The staff were all very well mannered and polite. They were all working together as a team! They kept everything running smoothly and smiled all the time. They greeted everyone who entered in. I especially loved the fact that they all took turns checking the bathrooms regularly and cleaning them very often! I judge all restaurants by the cleanliness, neatness, and sanitary conditions of their restrooms and whether or not they are stocked well with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels. Now for the FOOD! I love Boars Head deli meats! A HUGE plus for me, especially because they're all 100% real meat and GLUTEN FREE! YES!!! And they have gluten free bread!!! I ordered the Firehouse Sub Club!! It was PERFECTION!! That's all I order every time I go! The bread is perfect. You cannot tell that it's gluten free at all. The sandwich is LOADED!! I get full on eating only half, but i keep on going because it's so very, very good !! I get the combo which adds a drink and a bag of chips(my fave is Lay's plain baked chips). They have this super awesome fountain drink machine that has probably a hundred different flavors to choose from! My favorite is Fanta Peach Zero!!! YEA!! They have a drive thru window for those on the go. We prefer dine in; we want the whole experience! It's a fun place to be! Very clean, neat, and tidy. There's always someone in the dining area cleaning tables and wiping down the fountain drink area. And they have TVs on the walls to watch the games! There's plenty of tables and chairs, yet not too crowded! It's a very nice place for couples, or bigger parties, and it's a perfect place for families with children and babies to dine as well!
