Darrell's Diner

Second time coming here and always have been busy. I believe is really popular in this area. It’s a real American restaurant. The waitress are always nice and kind but there not enough in order to give a better service talking about waiting time. It’s not my favorite style food (I like more healthy food lol) but it’s my boyfriend’s style so he loves it. He got waffles with scrambled eggs and bacon and he said it was yummy!

My friend and I stopped in for lunch on a whim. I was attracted to the picture of a dog saying "doggone good food". Apparently Darrell's is a chain of restaurants with multiple locations in the Marion, Sumter, and The Villages area, which I have never heard of before. They are open for breakfast and lunch. My friend described it as a real diner. It has customer restrooms, free off street parking. They accept cash, credit and debit cards as payment. Menu is not robust: one double sided menu coveted the extent of the items, but it has common breakfast and lunch options, which was good enough for us. I didn't see that alcohol was served (which makes sense for their operations hours). The tables and dinnerware were clean, staff were friendly. It did take awhile for my bacon and Eggs to arrive while my friend's bacon cheeseburger that also took a bit too long, arrived way before mine. It wasn't busy, so the delay and gap in service of the 2 meals didn't make sense, but the food was good enough when it did get here. They air conditioned inside dining, and a few outside table with a prominent bowl of water for guest dogs. I wouldn't object to going back another time. It was okay.

Stopped in the other day and was a great experience from the second we walked in the door. Food was pretty good and fairly priced. Still a little room for improvement but for what it is it's expected. Service was on point, beyond what you would expect. If they keep the same energy and quality this will be our regular breakfast spot.

Good food, friendly service, a bit pricey for what it is for breakfast ($2.99 coffee). Our group of friends ate breakfast here on a Tuesday morning in October of 2022. We enjoyed our meal and Carolyn was helpful and friendly. We meet once per month for breakfast and this stop was noticeably more expensive than our other stops. I don't drink coffee, but my friends who do definitely were a little surprised by the $2.99 price for a cup of coffee. Entree prices were fair and included a side or two. There are a total of 13 Darrell's locations as of today and lunch prices are a little more in line with the market, so I suggest giving them a shot for lunch.

Had a wonderful experience! Lisa was our server she was very pleasant and the food was fantastic and well priced! I ordered a create my own omelette with hashbrowns it came out perfect! Our new go to spot!
