My bf and I arrived around 9pm, ordered ourselves a burger each because we were STARVING!! We are pretty patient people, so we waited and waited. 30mins go by and still nothing, the guy that ordered after us got his food. We asked and she said she'll check on it. A moment later, maybe 9:40pm or 9:50pm ish, the same girl that took our order said they were short staffed and it will take a bit longer and apologized. It's about 10pm ish now and the manager comes and apologize and explained the situation. The girl that took our order forgot to send the dam ticket to the kitchen this whole time... apparently she's in "training". Manager was very apologetic and told us our options for a refund or a reimbursement through drinks... Ma'am I'm trying to chow down a hefty burger not liquor. Shoutout to Bisou Lounge/Lux Plates & Pours for having their kitchen open late. My bf and I are just nice people and it sucks because we could've crashed out and caused a scene. I think that would be a normal reaction though because you got customers waiting a mf hour just to say y'all can't make the food anymore because the kitchen is closed and now you gotta give them their money back. If I was the cashier, I would've just went back there and whipped up a burger because it was my fault. Other than that, place seems like a cool chill bar, and they have nice staff:)

Note it appears that their menus vary by location, with the University location having smaller offerings. Of the food we tried, I enjoyed the pepperoni pizza the most and the Boudin the least. If you do not drink beer, they also have cocktails and wine. As with the food, the University location has a limited selection of cocktails. The night we came they also had live music outside. The place is pretty huge with an upstairs and outside space. If you have little ones, or enjoy playing pinball yourself, they have a room where you can play on the Main level.

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. Calla is definitely a place we'll be returning to. Highly recommended!

Our waiter was JD, and he was very funny and very helpful. I had a glass of Chardonnay. For my meal, I had Fish & Chips with green beans, and Mike had tea and a Reuben with onion rings. The fish and chips were SO good! We were here once before, and I remembered that they add some sort of sweet salt to their fries, so I ordered mine without. Although I'd rather have mushy peas with my fish, the green beans were exceptional. Mike ate his entire Reuben and loved it. The onion rings were very tasty too. I had to get most of mine to-go, so I'm looking forward to having the rest later tonight! We'll be back. Highly recommended!

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.

Ryan was THE best choice for the General Manager. He is doing an excellent job with his staff and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Gage, was a prime example and reflection of the care going into this place. Gage was so sweet and took very good care of us. Now for the food. Everything was so flavorful and worth every penny. The kitchen staff knows what they're doing, and they are killing the game. We started off with the pork belly bites and the shrimp toast for appetizers. That spicy aioli mixed with the chili glaze on the pork belly was top tier! The shrimp toast was perfectly crispy and delicious. The entrees were just as much of a slam dunk as the appetizers. I had the beer braised beef short rib with the mashed potatoes. Talk about melt in your mouth. The short rib was so tender that I was able to pull every single bite off the bone with my fork using very little effort. It was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TENDER! My husband had the Tasso brined double cut pork chop with collard greens. The Demi-glace was absolutely delicious and the greens were well seasoned. My father-in-law had the wedge salad that he asked to spruce up with a few extra dressings, and they had no qualms meeting his requests. We were too stuffed to try dessert, but we will absolutely be back to try it another time. The pricing was very fair for the quality of food and atmosphere. All of the staff were super kind. You can definitely tell they enjoy their job and take pride in what they do. We can't recommend the lakefront location enough. It's definitely going to become a top favorite that we'll continue to frequent.

We ordered boudin balls and I think it's called the Beauxdines special. I was supposed to come with both snow and Dungeness crab but they were out of dungeness. Our waitress was nice but very very busy which was understandable given the crowd. The crab was a little dry, they shrimp very big and juicy the crawfish were ok, I was expecting a little more spice. The corn and potatoes were also not spicy. The boudin balls were very large and those were good.

I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered the Boudin Eggroll Appetizer. It included some Ranch dressing for dipping and the 4 Eggrolls it came with were the largest Boudin Eggrolls I've ever been served. They were also the best tasting. They had just enough cheese to keep them from being too dried out and were tasty. I would order this again if I was in the mood. Now I want to go back to try more things on the menu, but our server never came back to check on us after our order was delivered. I had to work really hard to flag her down to request a to-go box and a long time later to flag her down again to get our ticket and remind her about the to-go box. My advice is to try to get your ticket early if you can.

I ordered the Fit Dilla with Shrimp, a Chipotle Tortilla and Homemade Ranch sauce and a side of Mashed Sweet Potatoes. The Sweet Potatoes seemed dry and rubbery and honestly, the texture was off so much for me, it didn't seem like it was actually made from real sweet potatoes. I took a couple of bites and gave the rest to my daughter who said it was okay and ate most of it. My Dilla was a little strange too. The shrimp were tasty and fresh, but the Dillas were in the shape of triangles, and not in the traditional sense, and the tortilla seemed a bit on the dry side. I could've lived with that, but the addition of raw spinach leaves wasn't pleasant. I had erroneously assumed they would cook the spinach before adding it which I think would've been a better choice. My daughter ordered the Jalapeño Chicken Popper Wrap and let me have a taste. I thought for what it was, it was a much better option than what I had ordered, but she did complain that the tortilla was wrapped too thickly around on itself and peeled some of it off before trying to eat it and after taking a closer look, i agreed. She also ordered the Mixed Veggies for her side, but felt she wasn't given a large enough portion for the price she was charged and mentioned that it tasted like zero seasoning was added to them. Even though we weren't thrilled with everything we ordered, we liked the atmosphere, our server, the freshness of the ingredients used and the variety offered on the menu, and her tasty wrap gives us enough motivation to go back and try something else on the menu.
