Jambalaya
Over the years my wife and I patronized the Marina del Rey location many times, trying just about every plate special, a sandwich or two, and jambalaya and file gumbo. Of course we always added a side of the delicious vegetarian bayou greens. Loved the warm welcomes by I believe Uncle Darrow and staff. Because of distance I've only been to the Carson location once to meet up with a friend who lives in Los Alamitos. Same great food and welcoming vibe. My wife and I must create a reason to swing by Carson soon.
Bean Balaya
My husband and I first started eating at Uncle Darrow's 10 years ago when the restaurant was situated in Marina Del Rey. The catfish, shrimp, collard greens, tater salad, jambalaya and peachy cobbler have always been our favorites. The food is always of quality and tasty. Every time we eat Uncle Darrow's food we get a little taste of New Orleans.
Bayou Blend Greens
Love the the greens.
Peachy Cobbler
When you're in the mood for a little something sweet after your delicious meal, the Cobbler is the way to go.
Bayou Classic Po'Boy
They call it a classic for a reason, you can't go wrong.
Zeek Po'Boy
Perfectly coated catfish and shrimp over a bed of potato salad, eat this with Darrow'a green sauce, and you will not be disappointed.
Bean Balaya
The perfect side if you don't want an entire order with your Po'Boy. Just like everything at Darrow's it's delicious and will leave you wanting more.
Jambalaya
Love this place and especially the people. The food is fantastic and you feel so welcome. Glad they're close to where I live!
Jambalaya
It just doesn't get better than this jambalaya!!! I would drive 20 miles in the midst of a pandemic on my birthday to get some of this ... wait, I just did!
Lagniappe Special Shrimp, Oyster, Bayou Classic or Zeek Po'Boy
OMG WHAT CAN I SAY, BUT WOW. FLAVOR EVERY TIME I TAKE A BITE I WANNA SLAP SOMEBODY ELSE'S MOMMA NOT MINE BECAUSE SHE SLAPS BACK LOL. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS UNCLE DARROW THE FOOD YOU PUT OUT TO ME AND MY ELDERLY PATIENTS KEEPS US FULL AND HAPPY. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE STAFF FOR STAYING OPEN DURING THIS PANDEMIC ❤ 💕. GOD BLESS
French Bread
Their French bread doesn't have too much butter or oil on it and has a faint garlic taste. Yum!
Shrimp Supper
Shrimp was Fried to perfection. The batter is very tasty. Bean Balaya as a side is something you won't regret and definitely won't forget. Been coming since the Marina, glad the food is the same.
Shrimp Po'Boy
This food and the overall experience was amazing! I'm so happy to be part of the Darrows family and to get a taste of home out west!
Big Easy Supper
I really have to give this restaurant five stars. Everything we ate was delicious. We also ordered the Chicken Wing Supper and the 32 oz Rum Punch (which took us, who rarely drink alcohol, a couple of days to finish). It was a lot of food for us, which turned out to be a great second meal. We ordered late on Father's Day and they were out of macaroni and cheese, but we were still very satisfied. They have a nice selection to choose from, so not sure what we will order on our second visit, but I do want to try their macaroni and cheese.
Jambalaya
Where do I begin. Uncle Darrow's food is authentic, tasty, and just right! Last month when my family visited the restaurant for takeout, I ordered the jambalaya and it was perfect. It has the right amount of seasoning, not greasy, made with chicken sausage and the right portion size, so I could also enjoy a sample of my husband's food. When you eat at Uncle Darrow's it is like eating back home in Da Boot! Real food with flavor!!
Shrimp Po'Boy
This is the best Po'Boy place in Los Angeles hands down. The batter for the shrimp is great, the sandwich is perfectly roasted and satisfying. I can't recommend this place enough especially for people who have never had New Orleans style food
Zeek Po'Boy
We have been getting the Zeek Po'Boys since the Lincoln days and they are to die for! The potato salad is a perfectly creamy pair to the crunchy shrimp and catfish. Everything about this po'boy is perfect and just thinking about it now makes me want to go get another one!
Cajun Pups
These cajun pups are so good. Perfect amount of heat with such a good flavor.
Shrimp Po'Boy
I've been ordering the Shrimp Po-Boy since I was five, and have never been disappointed!! Perfect bread, perfect crunch on the shrimp, 10/10. If I was on a desert Island and could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be this.
File Gumbo
I have been coming to Uncle Darrows since 2006 when they were on Lincoln in Marina Del Rey. I fell in love with the gumbo and the blue crab they use. I have tried almost everything on the menu. There is no disappointment with this restaurant. I'm so glad they moved to Carson, I work in Long Beach now so I try and stop in every other week for Gumbo, hurricane, and wings
File Gumbo
The most delicious gumbo I have tried, just like my mom's gumbo!
Turkey Sausage or Chicken Sausage Po' Boy
excellent sandwich
Cajun Fries
Fried and seasoned to perfection. Dip it in the green sauce and you're good to go.
Lagniappe Special Chicken Breast Po'Boy
Simply, delicious!
Cajun Pups
We ordered these to try something new off the menu, and were SO pleased. Will need to order two next time because sharing was not a good move. Left us wanting more!
File Gumbo Ya Ya
All you need to know, is that you NEED to order this. Perfection in a dish. Soooo good every time. 💕
Chicken Breast Supper
Yummy meal
Shrimp Po'Boy
Tucking into this po'boy takes me back to a spot on the waterfront in the French Quarter watching the Natchez cruise on down the Mississippi! This is the real deal!
Shrimp
The mild grilled shrimp is the best and wish I could eat it everyday. I have not had any shrimp in California that tastes as good as the grilled shrimp in this restaurant. I wish Darrow's sold the shrimp in larger groups instead of the pack of four, but does not matter - the shrimp is so savory I will always add it to my order.
Big Easy Supper
My hubby and I split this dinner tonight and it was just right. 4 pieces of catfish and 4 shrimp for him and 4 plump, delicious oysters for me. Darrow's has the best fried oysters hands down. They are larger than anywhere else I have had them and always nice and plump. Have a bite for me if you order them!
Red Beans & Rice
Love the spice of this dish. It had great flavor and though spicy wasn't too hot! I feel like this one is a healthier options with the red beans in it. Love the greens, but they were out :(. I will definitely order this again.
Soft Shell Crab Po'Boy
Best Po'Boy's I've ever had! I've tried other places but none come close. I always have to have it when I go. Love the wings as well!
Fillet Catfish
Delicious, tasty, not greasy.
Oyster Po'Boy
I have been coming to Darrow's since they first opened their Carson location. I appreciate the staff and management team. They always have been a pleasure. I have not had an item on their menu that dissatisfied me. I love supporting local businesses. Whenever friends come and visit this is the place I bring them
32oz Hurricane (on the rocks)
The hospitality of the staff at Darrow's is as good as the 32oz Hurricane. There is always a sense of appreciation and welcoming friendliness every single time I go there, which is weekly.
Fillet Catfish Po' Boy
I tell everyone that this is the best Po'Boy place in Southern California. The batter is just like how they do it in New Orleans. The Catfish is good, the shrimp you can't go wrong. I'm glad this place has expanded its hours again
Chicken Breast Po'Boy
Got these for my kids, ages 6 and 7, and they were DEVOURED! I managed to sneak a bite before they finished and it was delicious. Super soft bread, and perfectly seasoned chicken with all the yummy toppings. Will definitely get this again.
Fillet Catfish Po' Boy
Amazing fresh catfish. Seasoned perfectly and was served nice and hot. The big plus with the food here is that the presentation is always on point! I love to eat where I see that the food looks good. Also There's always quality service from really good staff! One of my favorite places. have that good old home feel.
Catfish Supper
We were introduced to Darrows's last year. Been coming every time we're in LA, we live in Orange County. The quality and quantity and atmosphere brings us back. We're originally from Florida, so the flavors are there. We order the catfish red beans and rice, or catfish and grits) always creamy), my husband orders the fried chicken but states that it's kind of salty other than that I would recommend Darrow too as many people that ask where too go for good down home cooking
File Gumbo
Gumbo, peach cobbler, sandwich all the food is delicious all the time.
