Stopped twice coming through Alexandria. We were very pleased on quality variety of platters!

I had read in a local poll that Darrell's had the best hamburgers in Alexandria. I've never put much stock in those polls because it's usually the restaurant owners getting their friends and family to vote for them. But finally, I tried the hamburger and fries. It was a very good hamburger for the price. I do think there are better hamburgers in town, but they cost more. This hamburger is certainly better than one you would get from a fast food chain. The fries were pretty good. They're the kind I like. I would eat here again. read more

The food was great, but the service from Charlene was even better!!! We would definitely come back again. Thank you Charlene!!!!

After I posted a positive review a few weeks ago my entire attitude has been changed today. I ordered via GrubHub. When I tell you the livers were burnt. Not only did they looked, but tasted. I called to see if I can exchange. Before I could even ask, the supposed manager was rude and hung up in my face. read more

Darrells special!!! I travel all the time so eat out alot. I would never choose this place from the menu. Thankfully came here with my beer distributor. I will never come to Lake Charles without stopping here now. Best sandwich I have ever had. read more

The chicken is so greasy the fish is so greasy that the crust falls off of it like it soggy and another thing is the employees are so rude and disrespectful my niece went over there for a pick up. She had to deliver and the woman who gave her the food. I was gonna give her the food told her to give her the phone now that's ridiculous. There is a way to talk to people, some people can speak to people in it kind of way, but other people will kick your ass, I won't be getting none of their grease is too much hard to disease going on in this world as it is lol read more

Good food. Good service. Fried chicken livers were the best. There was a very cool camo and American flag wall.

Yuck. I was the only one in the restaurant and it still took them nearly 30 minutes to get my order. I think I broke a tooth on the chicken fingers. Someone recommended this restaurant saying that their fingers were better than Cane's, but they were wrong--by a long shot. I can see why few people go to this restaurant, but why they stay open is beyond me. I really wish that Arby's had stayed in that location. read more

We stopped at Darrell's while we were traveling. Burgers, seafood, chicken, sounded like a little something for everyone! It looks like a bit of a hole in the wall, but inside, the restaurant was well lit and clean. (Restrooms were nice and clean, too!) My husband and younger son ordered burgers, my older son ordered chicken strips, and I ordered the fried shrimp. There were several choices of sides, but we all went with some form of potato product (three curly fries, one regular). Our food came out hot and fresh, and we were all pleased with what we got. The shrimp weren't Gulf shrimp (the menu said imported from Peru), but they were crisp and delicious. The burgers were well seasoned, and the coating on the chicken was light and crispy. The curly fries were really, really good, and I was glad I'd ordered them. If you're particular about soft drinks, Darrell's serves Pepsi products and Dr Pepper. And our family of four was able to eat for less than $40, so it's a pretty good deal. So, add Darrell's to the list of places we're happy to stop at when we're in the Alexandria area! read more

Fried chicken was good. Service was good. Strawberry shake was amazing! I'm visiting from out of town and a friend recommended the restaurant. I wasn't skeptical but I was cautious. There was no need for concern! I will definitely go back before I leave. read more

I very rarely give 5 stars. Hands down a great Burger and Fries. Wish we lived closer, but will be stopping again on our trips to New Orleans. Please expect to wait for your food. It's Fresh and well cooked. Seemed Clean . Great Job , small business America. read more

Soooo there we were in Alexandria, hungry and wanting something and have a swell game of "I dunno, what do you want?" Going on and we passed Darrell's and said that's for us. Honestly we didn't know what to expect. It's pretty much burgers, fried chicken and fish. It's good!! Place is clean folks are nice and they make a really good burger!! It was just right. Great fries!! Next time I'm going to try a shake!! I'm glad we stopped!! read more

Best burger in town ,,very hospitable staff very clean inside and out,,very reasonable prices will definitely be back

Absolutely amazing chicken tenders (both fried and grilled)! Don't forget the special made Darrel's sauce! Their dirty rice is seasoned to perfection -yummy! Great friendly service, example the grilled chicken tenders (not listed on their menu). Clean neat dining area; you will eat along side hard working guys, ladies doing lunch and you could make new friends while you are there! read more

First time here as we're new to the area. Very good food, love the crispy coating on the chicken and other fried food. I like the size of the shrimp, that they're cleaned and they have a delicious, delicate coating. Same with the chicken ... beautiful! My husband and son both love the burgers and are always wanting to come back for them. I love that they have their own "Darrell sauce" which is more than just ketchup and mayonnaise. The service has been very good and the folks are polite and helpful. It's one of our new favorite places in Alexandria! read more

Great food, great service, and very friendly staff. On my first visit there I ordered a cheeseburger and the lady was bragging about their chicken and how they marinate it for 18 hours. I told her I should have gotten the chicken. Next thing you know she gave me a free chicken breast to try. Amazing! So I've been back since and have brought my family. I will be back over and over. In fact, we're going today. read more

My husband and I have eaten at Darrell's several different time. The food was always good, but on Sunday, 30 April was not worth eating. The chicken was dried out on the inside, it was over fried, my husband said it tasted like old chicken. I ordered an hamburger all the way to include mustard, well it looked like someone just thrown it together, there was more mustard on the wrapper than on the hamburger. Now the fries was hot, and that was the only thing that tasted good. Someone needs to check on the staff that works on Saturday and Sunday. If you keep getting people that don't care about how they prepare food, your business is going to go down, fast. read more

The building inside doesn't look appealing but the food is greatI will go to again and the prices are not that bad

Great place to stop for fast food in Alexandria! The chicken tenders were juicy and crispy and came with an awesome sauce. On top of all that, the service was amazing! read more

The food here is amazing, everything was cooked perfectly and the staff was very friendly and accommodating with how we wanted our food prepared. The staff is happy and smiling and so polite! Great place to eat and not expensive! read more

Outstanding food and great customer service! The burgers and fried chicken are both amazing. If you haven't been, GO!

Meh. This was pretty much a total waste of time. We stopped here passing through because of the 5 stars and they even had some award on the door for 2019. It was clean. The price was good but the food was nothing that is worth 5 stars. If this is the best chicken in Alexandria, I feel bad for them. There wasn't anything really flavorful about it. The fries were good and cooked long enough, not soggy and flimsy, I'll give them that. There isn't a changing table in the bathroom. So, if you have kids, you will have to change them in the car. The people working were friendly but just save yourself time and go to canes or chick fil a instead. Oh and it says wings...there were NO wings on the menu. read more

Stopped here on a road trip for fast food but real food. The fried chicken and chicken tenders were battered and fried to perfection, and the Darrell's sauce that came with the tenders was exceptional. But my review is more about the service, which was outstanding. When I realized I forgot to order my son's burger plain, I went to buy a new bun devoid of condiments but the lovely woman working waved me off and brought him a new fresh burger instead. That's only one example of the friendly, kind service we received at our short visit. read more

Pleasantly surprise, I stopped in after seeing the good reviews and being really hungry over lunch. The burger was outstanding as well as the fries and milkshake I had. The place was busy too! read more

I had the shrimp po'boy and it was yummy! Best food stop I made as a drove through LA.

We call our family night "Fried Chicken Friday" because we always get a family size chicken & fries from Darrell's. The whole family loves it. Best chicken in town! The shrimp PoBoy is awesome too. Don't even have to leave the house because we can have it delivered with the Waitr app! read more

The best cooked chicken around. Their chicken is tender, fall off the bone style. Wasn't tough and not dry. I only wish they served original lemonade and or strawberry lemonade drink and not the kind you call a soda. read more

Every-time I go to Darrell's the wait is long, don't get me wrong the food is fantastic. But we ordered and paid said there for 7 minutes and a bag was placed by the window, 15 minutes later the same bag was handed to us... really? But like I said sub par service really good food read more

Hidden gem in Alexandria! Loved the burgers and curly fries. We will definitely go back.
