A similar sandwich in any other part of the country would be called a hoagie, grinder, or even a sub, but down here, we know it as a po’boy. Now, po’boys are always known for being more than generous with the toppings, but at Darrell’s, you can expect the best po’boys in Louisiana. We know… it’s a hot take but trust us. You’ll be a customer for life after just one bite!

You might be surprised to learn that some of the best po'boys come from Lake Charles, but any Lake Chuck local will confirm that the rumors are true: Darrell's has some of the best po'boys in Louisiana.
