If you find yourself in the Lake Charles area, you have to swing by Darrell’s. This unassuming little eatery offers some of the best po’boys in Louisiana, and they’re well worth a road trip.

When Susie and Darrell DeRouen opened the restaurant in 1985, they had no idea that it would become a timeless treasure beloved by locals.

The no-frills restaurant has a comfortable and casual atmosphere that will make you feel like you’re being welcomed by an old friend.

The homemade BBQ sauce, gravy, and the ever-popular jalapeño mayo take these Louisiana classics to the next level.

You’re going to need a stack of napkins to get through one of these messy morsels, but as we all know, the more napkins you go through, the better the po’boy!
