Darla’s Southern Cajun Bistro

Had the pleasure of having breakfast at darla this morning. great atmosphere and courteous staff. our waitress was very friendly and greeted us with a smile. it was clean.

Having missed an opportunity to try Darla's when I was in town visiting family for Easter--tried to stop by on a Tuesday before I left, it was a top priority as soon as I landed back in town the Thursday before for Mother's Day...and it definitely was a great experience...Nothing sets the tone for a great dining experience than the welcome greeting of your host...and Tasha definitely let us know we were in good hands. That was followed by great service. Then came the food...I had the smothered pork chops with spice cabbage and rice&gravy. My mom had red beans and rice with andouille sausage. Served fresh and hit, it was more than enough and it was all good. In addition, to top it off, I had a slice of sock-it-to-me cake...and a slice of 7-up, to go. Both were good. However, as good as our experience was, the table next to us, had the shrimp and grits...and, now, I had to try that...and that's what I did, today...To avoid the possibility of a wait on a Saturday morning, I got there at opening. Again, greeted by Tasha AND Chef/Owner Albert, I knew I was in for another good experience...AND the shrimp and grits did not disappoint. The interesting twist to this dish is the grit cake instead of grits. This had egg, green onions and bacon. The sizeable shrimp are placed on top and smothered in a nice gravy. I ordered a side of catfish to complement the meal...well-seasoned it did just that...and another great experience in the books. So, another star for consistency...Darla's is definitely in rotation for my Vegas visits...and I will make sure my fellow visiting and local friends support.

So glad we visited Darla's. Was on the search for down-home cooking and we found it! I had the loaded baked potato with shrimp and my husband had the catfish po-boy. We had to order some wings too. We ate everythang! ? we definitely had to go lay down afterwards, lol. Food was very good, and Tasha, the hostess, made our first visit very pleasant! Will definitely be visiting on our next trip.

I’ve been ordering from Darla’s for the past few years . It was at another location. I ordered at least once a week during the pandemic. Boy!! When I tell you that everything on the menu is delicious, especially the shrimp and grits. Everything is as described ,if not better. You also want to try the French Toast sandwich. I always have some left over so there’s more than enough to share. Chef Albert Washington really puts love into everything he puts out!!

When I say the food was amazing, please believe me! Shrimp and grits, catfish, collard greens, Mac and cheese and the peach cobbler bread pudding was exceptional!Very clean and inviting.
