From the moment you step into Darrows you will feel a sense of community. The staff is extremely warm and personable. I immediately spotted the cornbread but up close and personal it's warm, moist and drizzled with syrup. The owner took my order and he was amazing; such a genuine spirit. I ordered the file gumbo, fried oysters and greens. The gumbo was filled with shrimp, crab legs and sausage. I would definitely recommend and will absolutely visit again.

If you’re looking for exceptional hospitality and good old-fashioned down home cooking, get in the car and stop at Avalon and Carson in the beautiful city of Carson, CA. My nephew and I had collard greens and catfish, and he had red beans and rice. My sister had gumbo. Our food was delicious and what’s more it was fresh and not salty. I also had a bowl of my favorite dessert — peach cobbler. So good and not too sweet. From what I can see, all the customers are treated like they are special. Darrow introduces the customers to each other. Now how cool is that. ????????

Wife and I came here for the first time. The reception we got from the owners was very warm. We got two of their Lagniappe Specials: the Bayou Classic Po Boy (shrimp and oysters) and the Zeek Po Boy (catfish, shrimp, and potato salad.) Both come with a side and drinks. We got greens and Bean Balaya (half Jambalaya half Red Beans.) All were excellent! The seafood was fresh and cooked expertly. They do not use pork in any of their dishes but their use of chicken and turkey sausages and other spices made everything taste authentic to their New Orleans roots. Will come back again and again!

Food was horrible. I had the catfish and shrimp.No Flavor or seasoning. Overpriced food for small portions. Also My fries were soggy, they were supposed to be “Cajun” they just sprinkled Cajun seasoning at the top of it. The French bread is dry. My colleagues also were disappointed. Rice and beans were disgusting as well as the greens. I never make reviews but after paying $25 with tip for my meal I’m highly upset.

I am so happy that we decided to visit Darrow's today. We received outstanding service. Everyone there was warm....friendly and hospitable. I felt like I was reconnecting with full beers down south that I hadn't seen in awhile. The food and the peach cobbler were delicious . I am so happy that you guys are in Carson. <3

Really nice owners, workers, and very good fresh food with a homemade quality. Atmosphere on the inside is amazing and for sure I will return one last time before I go to bootcamp!

The food and atmosphere transported me back to the deep south for lunch one afternoon. The food was picturesque perfect and true to Southern cuisine. However, they Make sure to pay attention to California cuisine and only offer chicken or turkey sausage. No beef or pork here. Which is refreshing. Norwood and his staff took amazing care of us. Now, we need to make sure we get some Hop Valley and Miller Lite in here to truly make this a New Orleans experience. I will be back and bring friends.
