Darryl’s Corner Bar & Kitchen became an almost overnight sensation for southern soulful fare the day it opened its doors to the public in the South End. When it comes to standout dishes, think Cajun shrimp cocktail, blackened catfish, a classic crawfish boil and, of course, a slice of red velvet cake to finish it all off right.
