I had read in a local poll that Darrell's had the best hamburgers in Alexandria. I've never put…read moremuch 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.

An Old Fashion Diner with so much Soulful Deliciousness!…read more Great Service! The Kindest Folks! Open Quite Early and Really Late! Hard to believe but true! 24 hours to be exact. Beautiful clean and well decorated dinning room. Warm and inviting booths. The food was delicious! Those cooks are fantastic! Perfect eggs! Very good French toast! Beautiful and Tasty omelet! Crisp smoked bacon! Perfectly fluffy biscuits and correctly made grits! We had breakfast, though they do have an extensive menu for lunch a d dinner. We will be definitely be back! See you real soon-

The only reason this restaurant earned 2 stars is because the service was excellent. Without that,…read moreit would've been a 1 star experience. The food itself tasted good, but the portion size was shockingly small for the price. I didn't order a kids' meal, yet the amount of food I received looked like one--and I'm someone who doesn't even eat a lot. I was still hungry afterward. I paid over $20 for this meal, and it simply wasn't worth it. I ate at two other restaurants this week, spent less than $20 at each, and the food there was far better and portions larger and absolutely worth every penny. ( I ordered the combination platter which consisted of catfish, shrimp and sweet potato fries.) I guess they were rationing food the evening I placed an order for pickup.

I ordered the shrimp and catfish platter and everything was freshly dropped -- hot, crispy, and not…read moreoverloaded with batter. You could really taste the seafood, which I appreciate. Since it's Lent season, I expected a bit of a wait. I'm not big on hush puppies, so I swapped them for shrimp fried rice, and I'm glad I did! It was simple but packed with flavor and well seasoned. A nice surprise that paired perfectly with the platter. The fries were nothing special, but the coleslaw and tartar sauce tasted homemade, which gave the whole meal a comforting, small-town feel. It reminded me of those corner store seafood spots in New Orleans. I'd come back for another fried seafood platter!

My wife and I tried Pelican Seafood for the first time this week. It likely won't be the last time…read more The building ain't much to look at, but don't let that bother you...it's what's going on in the kitchen that matters. I got the 7 Piece fish plate and my wife got a Fish/Shrimp Poboy. I got Cajun Fries and She got Onion Rings and we split each side so we had some of both. Their fish is real, farm raised, catfish. Not imported substitutes. It was crispy and delicious. My wife's poboy was perfectly dressed and, according to her, delicious. The onion rings I will be jonesing for now. So good! The guy at the window was super nice and helpful. This is the kind of place I'll remember. I hope to get a chance to come back when we're in the area. I only wish I had taken pictures.

Very casual atmosphere with hustling servers and kitchen. The muffuletta was good, thinner on the filling than some I've had but enjoyable on a large roll as required!

Had lunch here today. I ordered the hot wings and a coke since my time was limited. It took…read morelonger than I thought to get the wings(15 mins). They were fried naked, but I think they should add a batter to them, make them crunchy. I didn't like the hot sauce they used, it was missing something. Only 7 wing sections come in this order and the price for them was $15. It should be 10 wing sections and a choice of veggies or fries. My initial thought was to get the onion strings, should have went with my first mind.

Picked up a few things from the hot box and was pleasantly surprised by it all. I ate the hot box items an hour later while on the road so they weren't hot but my fault. Catfish was crispy well seasoned not dry. Better than the actual restaurant just yards away. Fried chicken thigh better seasoned and cooked perfectly. Taste like perfect home cooking.
