Such a unique spot! My husband and i stopped in here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. They have a plethora of options on the menu, we split wings as an appetizer. He had nachos for his meal and i got the pepper jack chicken and pasta. Everything was good, other than my husband saying the nachos were a little too dry for his liking. Portions are large! And service is quick. Our waitress also didn't charge us for the drink my husband didn't end up liking, which was very nice. We fully expected having to pay for it and would've! But that was nice of her to do that. We'd definitely stop back in here again, if we are ever back in the area. read more

I had the "hangover burger" and it came with fries. The burger was big, messy and delicious. Cooked perfectly and served quickly. They have a pretty good variety on the menu. I would return here if I'm back in the area. read more

I ordered 3 pizzas yesterday for my brothers birthday and they were terrible!!! Had little to no cheese on all 3!!! Waste of 65$ I ended up making something else. Worst read more

Horrible experience. Waited over an hour for food that never came. When escaplsyed to a manager to expedited, was asked to leave. We promptly left to honor their request. We will. NEVER return again. STAT CLEAR OF THIS DUMP. read more

I'm only giving a 3-star because of a few reasons. Waitress forgot requested items, only checked back once, upgraded to fries for $2 and only got 11 fries, an average of 20cents per fry...ridiculously pricey. On a good note, the Reuben was excellent and it was nice & cool in building. read more

Just finished having dinner at Darb's and it was the worst restaurant experience that we've had in a very long time. We ordered the chill to start, very little taste to it and we could only stomach a few spoonfuls. For our entrees we ordered one of their salads and the Mac and cheese with brisket. When our entrees arrived the Mac and cheese was about the size of a kids meal, and the brisket looked like it came out of a box from Meijer. we asked if this was the usual serving size and our server's short reply was that everything was weighted then she walked away. The dressing for the salad didn't taste home made and had a unique flavor to it.. and not unique in a good way. Both the food and customer experience leave a lot to be desired. Do yourself a favor and take a hard pass on this restaurant. read more

Today was the final straw ...after several instances of poor service we decided to try Darbs again because dang their reubens are good...never again. We waited 15 min to be acknowledged and after another 15 min without and drink (all water/coffee) or taking our order we walked out. No one seemed to notice. ​ read more

Server was slow, but polite. I ordered nachos thinking you can't really mess up nachos. I was wrong, those were the worst nachos I've ever seen. They just tossed a couple very low quality ingredients on very low quality stale chips and charged much more than they are worth. I tried a couple bites, but it tasted worse than it looked. I won't be going back read more

The service is absolutely horrid. we arrived at darbs patio at 5:10 pm, and still havent gotten the bill, AN HOUR LATER. the food was mid, and my cherry tasted like dirt. FRESH OUT THE GROUND??. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Never had a bad experience. Always been good and on top of things and willing to fix things to keep their customers happy.

Food was fine, normal Americana food. But it took quite a while to get seated. We tried to order for about 30 minuets and almost left before the staff noticed us again, they were much more attentive to the people near the bar. They do fun trivia once a week. Its a large open space, but can get busy and hard to reach the staff. read more

See all

I have been here multiple times with my family and come back from time to time. Food has always been great, my favorites being their burgers or wraps! Good location for a drink and to play pool as well. Staff has always been kind, but they seem to either be understaffed constantly or not fully properly trained due to how long it can take to get their attention at times and wait time. This however isn't a huge deal to me and I have and will still come back. read more

So we have had Darbs before, about 3 years ago, though we live in Eaton rapids, and yesterday were reminded why. There were several things that were not okay: 1. Spinach dip tasted "scorched". It definitely was burnt, and really bad. 2. The boneless wings - were okay, some had bits of gristle, and we ordered the sauce on the side but it wasn't. 3. Pretzel bites - not at all pretzel bites. It was thinly sliced pieces of one pretzel and they were hard and dry. read more

Good hometown bar, with friendly staff. The food was not good at all, but the drinks were good. There was a large party going on so it was very loud, and took a while to get drinks. They were out of a lot of things, but that's Covid to blame. I would visit again. read more

I used to like this place a lot more than I do now. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous for the price that you pay. I would have rated this place a little higher, but the last two times that I was here, the waitress was incredibly rude. She had gotten numerous complaints on a daily basis, yet still, management seemingly would not do anything about it. This place is a good place to eat, but I sure hope that the service has improved since my last couple of visits. read more

Darbs patio for lunch. We stumbled into taco Tuesday. Worth the adventure $1.25 ground beef or $1.50 for chicken. The last pork rind fried on site yum. read more

I ordered a Buffalo chicken Wrap from the salads and wraps section of my the menu, and it was pretty good and satisfied my appetite. It wasn't astonishing, but it's not like I could make a wrap like that at home, it just satisfied my craving for a wrap. The fish was accompanied with a side of chips, which seemed to be hand cut and fried in house. The chips were exceptional, and the waitress was friendly. Overall I'd give the experience a 7/10. read more

Really good food for a local small town joint. Atmosphere not bad. High ceiling and a bit loud. Decent beer selection. But the food is really good. Tex-mex specials, too. But I'm a fan of the Cajun blackened salmon. Priced very reasonably. read more

Very disappointed with our meals. Lasagna was okay at best, served lukewarm, tiny side salad & 2 tiny, burned garlic bread pieces. Nachos plate large but chips were burned tasting, awful. Ordered a glass of wine....got less than 1/2 small glass of less than average tasting pino griego $4.00. We'll not go here again. One plus, wait staff was very nice. read more

Food is decent, typical bar food. The food will take forever to come out, regardless if they are slow.

Meh. Mostly Sysco or other frozen foods. Staff was nice but service was pretty slow. Home fries are ok. Over easy eggs still had runny whites. IMO there is a better place to have breakfast out on M-50 just outside of town. read more

I been here two times and both times where not great. The service was okay and one of the times I was sitting with a friend and two. Of the waiter just stood at are table and talked with each other. That was not right go talk in the back not at your guest table. The food was okay. read more

Working in town and been here several times for lunch. Very nice wait staff and I enjoy the soup.

This is a lazy restaurant, waited over 45 minutes for our food, our children received a lackluster meal that was stale. Waitress was too worried about everything else, except her tables and paying customers. As a resident of Eaton Rapids, it's very sad that the choices for a family dinner restaurant is thwarted by poor service. read more

I come in to play trivia every now and again and I'm still not sure why I keep ordering food there. The burgers and sandwiches are decent but everything else is mediocre at best - especially when your trying not to eat junky pub grub. The last two times I've been in, I ordered the grilled chicken dinner - I have never seen such a tiny piece of chicken served at a restaurant in my life! Also, they never seem to be able to cook the chicken right - it's always really chewy / rubbery and really gross. read more

We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon because it was right next to an ice cream place. Turned out to be a really good decision! I had the French dip, and I thought it was really good! The bread wasn't soggy like it can get sometimes with a French dip, the meat had good flavor and the exact right amount of salt, cheese, and onions (though I like onions light-if you like onions you might want to ask for extra onions) My family is quite picky, and we all asked for like specialties (no onion, light sauce, dressing on the side, fries instead of chips, etc) and all our orders came out perfect. Our waitress was fun and joked with us, and she was the perfect amount of attentive and watching from a distance to just let us eat our food. Plus there was a cool spiral staircase, which is like a weakness for me so I was in love immediately. read more

Food is always good some days seems like it takes for ever to eat but positive attitude great atmosphere

Not a bad little place... They changed the menu about a year ago or so, and they've got some AWESOME steaks. The atmosphere is great. They now serve breakfast, since they are now the only "sit down" place in town other than fast food. The prices are VERY reasonable... read more

Not a good experience!! Not customer friendly, staff inattentive,food just average! I cannot recommend this restaurant because service is slow with few customers in this establishment, and management is rude. read more

We were in eaton Rapids Friday evening looking for a dinner spot not McDonald's type. The waiter was at the table before I could help my wife and young daughter get seated, took our drink order, visited our table frequently, we ordered the meat lovers pizza, took awhile, but it was Friday night they were busy, we didn't care, the pizza was worth the wait. I am a pizza lover and this one is one of the best in mid Michigan. It measures up to Delucas in north Lansing. read more

Pretty good food, Delicious Bloody Marys and half off appetizers on Thursdays. Gets very busy sometimes its a wait for your food.

This a nice pub food establishment, my burger was amazing and we all enjoyed the service received. The music was a little loud for my parents liking but I reminded them that's what bars do when it gets to 8/9 o'clock. read more

Heard good things about this place, but was really disappointed. To start off, the booth we were in had most of the upholstery ripped and nearly torn off. Looking around the place there were cobwebs all over the wall. It looks like it has not been cleaned in years. It looks like The Munsters' house. I ordered the fish and chips. It was about $11.00 and little more than frozen fish fillets that were deep fried. Not only was the food really bad, it took forever to get it. I can honestly say that I will never go back there. read more

For small town, the food offering was good. Had a tasty buffalo chicken sandwich. They have tasty homemade chips and get their onion dip with them. Nice local waitresses. Friendly. read more

I really like Darb's atmosphere and the open feel of the place. Don't be nervous about bringing in the kids. They do serve beer, but during the day it is a family place. The food is a notch above "ok". The philly steak sandwich was served like two halves of a sub. The meat was very good, but there was barely enough to fill just one half of the sandwich. I tossed the bread from 2nd half and added the meat to the first half. Even so, I would buy it again. read more

Very good food, fast service, great atmosphere!!! Will go there again‼ Had the club sandwich. Way too much to eat. Husband had the streak sandwich said it was delicious but couldn't finish it all(that's a first for him) read more

Service here is dismal at best. No consistency whatsoever. Seems poorly managed. No other options in ER at the moment besides McDs and BK for sit down type 'restaurants' (but that's soon to change by July! Not soon enough and looonnng overdue). If you don't mind lousy service, cold food, an average menu and you're in no hurry, go here. Otherwise, I wouldn't stop here. We've done it twice and both times left saying 'never again.' This time for sure we mean it! The word 'LAME' is what comes to mind when I think of this place. read more

Good bar food and love 1/2 off appetizers on Thursdays. Not a place to go if you are in a rush as some nights they are busy.

My mother and I were out for a drive and stopped here for dinner. It was not good. Our waitress was almost non existent. Our food arrived cold but we were so hungry we ate it anyway. The waitress never came back to check on us. Would never go back. read more

We have lived in Eaton Rapids for two years and only eaten here twice. The food and drinks are mediocre and overpriced. I'd rather stay home or go for good food, cheap prices, and local ambience at Abies. read more
