Was a stop on our bike poker run

I visited here several years ago. It was the only restaurant I visited twice. Although the menu has changed, the quality of food and service has remained the same. The food was fresh, delicious, and left me wanting to come back again. I'd highly recommend this place for your next comfort food!

What a dump. First maybe a hole in the wall. Buts a dump from outside and inside. Rude staff, and food is so so. They don’t believe in diversity. I got impressed they only like white peoples and bet they are trump supporters.

Killer food!! Was in town from Ohio. My buddy highly recommended we stop here, said it was a must stop place. He was not lying. Aside from the amazing food. The atmosphere and interactions with the staff was great and amazing. We had crawfish etouffee and smoked sausage and red beans. We were lucky also they had a large order of gumbo a customer from out of town was coming to pick up. They brought us out a sample bowl of that on the house!! Just amazing above and beyond! Thanks so much Darwells!

The food is good and you can bring your own beer because they don't sell it.

Can’t say enough about this place. Food is fabulous and the people are so nice. The Chef is so engaging. We asked him simply to fix us something good for a take-home dinner. Told him nothing more and he did just that! Even supplied reheating instructions!!!

Our first time there. Food was amazing, the owner and staff were warm and welcoming. The owner said she was sorry that we'd never want anyone else's bread pudding. She was right. We'll be back - it was great.

Have to visit Darwell's every time I'm in the area! DDD brought me here the first time many years ago and I've never had crawfish etoufee like his anywhere else. It has set the bar!

If you are looking for amazing Cajun/Creole cooking that is served in a funky,eclectic atmosphere by a family that loves to feed people, you have found Nirvana. We eat here EVERY time we are in town and are never disappointed. The crawfish etoufee is magnificent, crab cakes are light and flaky and the shrimp creole has just the right amount of spice. The husband/wife/daughter team keeps the place humming smoothly and the guests looked after. Wish they would relocate to Michigan so we could eat here more often!❤️
