    We met some family here on our way out of town and we really enjoyed it. We were greeted and seated right away, which was a plus, and since there was quite a few of us, they put us in a more secluded back area where we could chat and hang out and my nieces toddler could get some running around without bother bothering anyone. There are plenty of TVs to watch which is a plus if you love sports, etc. I opted for some fish tacos that came with a side of rice and beans. My husband ordered a sandwich. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer as well as another couple of items. I can't remember off the top of my head this go around. I just opted for water while others ordered some beer as well as sodas prices are pretty fair and portions were good size. My tacos were great, but the beans were quite dry and I honestly didn't try the rice cause I was pretty full off of the tacos. Service was good. I don't have any complaints and parking was easy. Plenty of street parking nearby. Vibe is definitely sports bar and OK for family

    Darbys is best for the good TVs they have inside! Lots around the bar & in the dining room. A great place to watch sports. Vibes are good. Place is clean & they have a decent happy hour. The food is decent, nothing great but not horrible either. Bar food. Service is good but every time I've been, they've needed more.

    Fire nachos

    Duuuuuuuude *facepalm* ***Disappointment ***Inconsistency The only word that continues to come up is so disappointed. And the catch is, last time we were here (Nov10) the burger was so fire. Let me start from the beginning. When we came back in November we ordered the pulled pork and a burger along with drinks and the Irish Nachos. The appetizer was fire, the burger was delicious, literally the patty melting in my mouth. The pulled pork sandwich on the other hand has to be sent back because it was too salty. I think their orange sauce had an error. Like they put salt instead of sugar when they were making it because it was that salty. Other than that everything was fine and I was gonna put 4 stars **** on my review. AMAZING service, great feel, and totally fun atmosphere. We came back this Friday. About a month apart from last time. Since the burgers were so good we thought that was the preferred pick. My husband got the chimi spicy burger and I got the darbinator, our pick from last time. Idk if their product distributor changed, or hasn't arrived and they went to their mystery meat and bread because we were sooooo surprised and NOT in a good way. Bread on BOTH burgers was stale and dry. It literally crumbled and we took a bite. The square meat patties weren't even seasoned. They felt like they had been frozen and microwaved. Let's just say my medium rare was fully cooked, and not on the stove. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the regular nachos we got this time were good, and service keeps being great. Two burgers gone to waste. We literally left all our food. We learned our lesson. Don't come here for dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks.

    Filled Dining Room on a Saturday Night

    On my last visit here the security guard asked my age almost apologetically before allowing me entrance, saying he had to ask. He did not seek any written proof of age afterward, probably because my white hair was ample confirmation of adult status. I would have been flattered if the reason for the inquiry had been based on a suspicion that my physical appearance indicated that I might not be 21. But, alas that did not occur. Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was again a superb starter, with really plump and hot shrimps. And, Classic Chili with Kidney Beans was also hot and excellent. Then I moved on to an Ancho Pulled Pork Sandwich wtih Onion Rings that were good and crunchy but varied widely in size. And I only detected a slight barbecue flavor in the pulled pork. Meanwhile, Diane again enjoyed her Orange Street Fish & Chips with French Fries. We received fine service amid a festive atmosphere of happy cantina goers mostly in their 20s. Demographically we looked out of place, but didn't really care. Most important to us here as elsewhere are the quality and variety of food served. And we both really like tavern food done right.

    Fish tacos
    Jasmine M.

    Been here a few times. Always sit at the bar cause it can be a little packed in here. Today I got the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. Pretty yummy!! The sauce was really good. I'll say, I wish it had more fish on it.

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich
    Gillian S.

    We came in after work and were seated immediately. They have happy hour specials after 9pm til closing so we took advantage of the $8 menu. For dinner, we ordered the spicy chimi burger with fries and the chicken pesto sandwich with onion rings. Split between two people it was a very filling dinner. The ambiance wasn't too loud on a Sunday night and the service was quick and attentive. Darby's made for a nice cap to our evening.

    Delicious patty melt and onion rings

    This is my first time at Darby's and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. It's a sports bar with many screens and decent music playing. The help is friendly and professional. The food came out in a timely manner. I had the patty melt, which was delicious. They added a fried egg and avocado, which added some extra taste to the already flavorful hamburger. I definitely recommend this place and plan on returning soon I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed in the food

    I've been going to Saverino's Italian Deli & Market for many years, and it has always been amazing…read more The food is consistently excellent, whether you're ordering a sandwich, lasagna, a side, or one of their daily specials. This place is always busy, both inside and with takeout orders, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead if you're in a hurry. That said, they are consummate professionals at what they do, and even if you walk in, the wait is never painful. My advice: check out the menu while you're in line and be ready to order when you get to the register. They're busy, and nobody wants to be the indecisive person holding up the line! Their daily specials are incredible, but be aware that if you want a special from a different day, it's not happening. Also, get there early if you want the special, because they can and do sell out -- which honestly just proves how good they are. Everything here is done right. The menu items are thoughtfully put together, balanced, and full of flavor. Portions are generous without being ridiculous, prices are very fair, and honestly, I think they may even be low compared to the value you get. The staff is always helpful, and the girl at the counter has been there as long as I've been going -- I believe she's family -- which says a lot about the heart behind this place. Don't skip the market, either. They carry some of the best Italian ingredients, and it adds even more to the experience. Saverino's is by far the best sandwich spot in Redlands, and I'd go out on a limb and put them in the top five on the West Coast. Family-run, local, consistent, and absolutely top notch. This place is a winner and deserves a try. Just one warning: THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!

The menu was so vast that we had difficulty choosing what we wanted to eat. I've already determined that I will go back with my husband to try more items! But for today, I ordered the mushroom Swiss Panini, and she ordered the Caprese on a ciabatta bun. We chose these sandwiches already knowing that we would swap a half to be able to try both! We were not disappointed. The bread on the mushroom Swiss was buttery toasted goodness, and cheese to mushroom ratio was just right. The Caprese was warm and savory, and the balsamic onion jam was absolutely delicious. Very pleased with our visit overall!

Inside is all reclaimed wood and cozy tables, people working on laptops, the coolest Redlands City Limits sign, kids flipping through board games and books in the corner, soft chatter, good energy. Pro tip: get in line as soon as you get there because it fills up fast and the line can absolutely go out the door. I had the chai latte (so good), a cheese danish (dangerous), and an Everlasting Ferments kombucha...the Habanero Ginger is a sleeper hit. You can also snag breakfast burritos if you're lucky (they sell out), or freshly made stuffed waffles from a vendor outside, which somehow makes the whole experience feel extra charming. There are cute little café tables all around and a tucked-away, walled patio in the back that's perfect for bigger groups. Already planning future coffee dates. Late to the party, but fully committed now!

Every bite was either taking my breath away or draining all my energy because I had to stop and process how good it was. Either way, I kept staring at my sandwich in disbelief that I traveled all the way to NOLA for Muffulettas only to realize the best one was closer to home this whole time. Boy, am I lucky. Since it was my first visit, they also gave me a slice of their passion fruit pie to try. The flavor was great -- nice and tart, slightly sour, and the crust was baked perfectly. It just wasn't really for me since I'm not much of a pie person to begin with. But I ended up ordering a whole pie to take home because I knew my mom would love it, and I was absolutely right. It was love at first bite for her. Safe to say, we're definitely coming back.
