Looking for good food in Venice… usually after 9:00pm.

What can I say? Once a New Yorker always a New Yorker…

Spectacular!

This is probably one of the best, original restaurants in Venice/Marina del Rey. Sure, there’s good Italian (Alejo’s) and Mexican (Lulu’s) and Sushi (Kifune)… but Uncle Darrow’s is something special. It’s not your run of the mill cookie-cutter restaurant. It’s a flavorful experience, a friendly atmosphere, and fresh ingredients.

I first visited Uncle Darrow’s when they were in the ground floor of a house in Vencie Boulevard down in Culver City. The food was good then and it’s even better now.

Their location on Lincoln Boulevard is a nice, “fast food-like” place. Clean. Comfortable. Friendly. But you’re not coming in for the dining room.

You will never have better cajun dish anywhere in Los Angeles. The seafood is fresh and corn-meal-batter fried to light perfection. The red beans and rice are meat-free and a fantastically delicious menu item. I’m a big fan of their catfish — in their supper and Po’ Boys.

If you are up for something new, and want to have a great dining experience that’s not your normal, run of the mill meal run over to Uncle Darrow’s ASAP.

Dishes I tried:

Zeek Po' Boy (Catfish, Shrimp & Tater Salad)

Catfish & shrimp po’ boy with tater salad… An amazing collection of flavors done just perfectly. I’d give it 6-stars if I could!!!
