Darrell's for a good po boy.


Luna's downtown has great food. I love the steak and the Luna Tuna.

Seafood palace on Enterprise Blvd. is really good. Their catfish is really good, gumbo is great, you really can't go wrong there. It's casual.

Steamboat Bill's, either on Broad & Hwy 14 or downtown near the lake, right next to I-10. It's good too but it's kinda pricey for what you get.

There's a place downtown near the courthouse, may have been what your buddy was telling you about, called Sha-Sha's. I was there once and wasn't impressed. I'd steer clear of it.

There's a place across the street from the mall on Prien Lake Road called A-mazen Seafood, the owners also own a steakhouse called Mazen's, hence the funny spelling. I heard mixed things about it. Never personally been there.

Mr. Bill's seafood on McNeese St. isn't too bad. It's across the street from the campus of McNeese. Very casual.

Personally, I'd go to either Seafood Palace (for the seafood). You can get a good burger pretty much anywhere from the chain places.

All Darrell's has are sandwiches. They're good, but that's all they have, not a lot to pick from. Their jalapeno mayo is great though.

what's crackin', birdman

I'm just here to revel in a Lake Charles thread that isn't full of hate

First I want to say something I haven't seen mentioned yet: Lebanese/Mediterranean place smack in the middle of where the hell called Cousin's. Food and, more importantly, beer selection there is unreal, especially for Lake Charles.

I'll also praise the Darrell's bandwagon. Reminds me that after the last day of finals Junior year in high school, a good bit of us went to Darrell's and actually chatted a bit with "Darrell." Apparently his favorite sandwich there isn't the Special, but the BBQ Brisket. Boy was he right.

Another favorite spot of mine back home was KD's diner...better than Louie's IMO, but don't tell any BR folks that.

Other than that, I never really ventured to the more "uppity" places to eat...my parents had four kids to pay for, plus they cook all the time.
But I'll also nod to Steamboat Bill's and Luna's.
