Darwell's Happiness Cafe

Went there for the first time today. Won't be the last time I can tell you! I had the Crawfish Etouffe dinner, and my wife had the Hamburger Steak dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. Both were EXCELLENT! Mine came with several blackened shrimp on top for added enjoyment! The hamburger steak was flavorful. And she said the hamburger was not overdone like a hockey puck. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting quality food. Well done, y'all.

Very friendly staff, they are all family. Delicious food at fair prices made fresh. They seem to use as much local ingredients as they can. FYI - Their political and religious beliefs are clear and present so if their expressing their beliefs bothers you, hopefully you'll take that into consideration before visiting.

Everything about this place was just right. First time visiting Darwell's, but have lived here several years. As soon as we walked through the door, we were warmly greeted. The atmosphere was perfect for the mood I was in. The food!!!! Let me tell ya, I like to try certain things when I eat at new places. Green Beans is one of those things. Not everyone makes them the same and not everyone's is like Glory's..But the the greenbeans were the best I've had. Well, my gf had them, I just ate them. Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be going back. Oh and the sweet tea was the best I've had here on the coast as well. 01/06/2026. ANOTHER GREAT MEAL AT THIS RESTAURANT. Stopped in for a meal with my dad and they didn't disappoint. Again, I ordered the Italian Green Beans and these things are the best. If someone has better, please add a post and direct me to where I need to go. The crawdaddy burger was the ish too. Real southern sweet tea and top tier service from both owners. I don't eat at the se place twice unless it's grade A and this place was all that I look for in a restaurant. Comfortable, homey, great atmosphere, relaxed and fast service with wonderful food.

My family (from England) and I just had a fantastic lunch at Darwell’s! Everything was outstanding. We were greeted at the door and introduced to the whole family. The food was full of flavor - we got the crawdaddy, red beans and rice, crawfish etoufee, and the redfish N’awlins, along with a side of fries. Everyone left with full bellies and a great vacation memory! If you can, sit in the back room with the colorful lights and beautiful artwork! We will absolutely be back when we are in the area, the food was Darwellicius!

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!
