There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into an old fashioned po’boy that’s dressed to the max. Not all po’boys are created equal, and it only takes one bad po’boy to make you truly appreciate those restaurants that are doing it right. Next time you’re in the mood for a hearty po’boy, make your way on over to Lake Charles where Darrell’s has some of the best po’boys in Louisiana, and they’ve been a local favorite for over 30 years.
When it comes to po’boys, one place stands out from the rest: Darrell’s in Lake Charles.
