Service is great and food is awesome! Actually, Darrell's has better food than most top shelf restaurants around Ocala. When we want a great meal, we go to Darrell's! read more

Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner did us well after our visit to Silver Springs State Park. We went in for lunch at 1:30 PM. We were told we could sit wherever we liked. I ordered the Smashburger special, which came with fries and coleslaw. I paid extra for sweet potato fries. My burger had two thin hand patted pieces of beef with cheese, lettuce, pickles and tomato. The burger was hot, juicy and delicious! And all the fixins were fresh. The coleslaw had more of a vinegar flavor which I liked. And the sweet potato fries were piping hot and yummy! I dipped them in honey. Our server was sweet and attentive. If you are ever in Silver Springs I suggest giving them a try! read more

Food for breakfast was top notch and I'm very picky! Place was packed so bring patience as there was a line to get in right after we got here at 10am. Service was friendly considering how busy they were. Ambiance is clean and quaint read more

Well that was pretty doggone good! We love to pop into a diner and ask for their specialty. Here it's the Rueben with fries and it was perfect! My kid got the pancake with one egg and one bacon. We also tried the omelette which was delicious. All in all great little stop! We loved the decor of completed and framed dog puzzles and pictures of puppies. The wait staff was very nice and service and quick! read more

Biscuits left in steam all morning turn to rubber.Breckfast place should serve butter not fake .Great bathroom.

Walked in and a waitress was complaining about being tired, 4 waitresses and no one seated us or acknowledged us. I watched them take one item from a table and no came to clean up the table. Very poor organization and waitress skills. (And yes I've run many tables in my day. Food was okay nothing exciting so totally unimpressed. Try harder...smile read more

Very busy but seated after a few minutes. Table clean, waitress great, food was very good. Reasonable cost. read more

Visiting a friend from out of town, we popped in here on a recommendation of a mutual friend to grab breakfast. Though crowded, the service was swift and we found a table in a few minutes. The food was good, and served hot. For two hearty eaters, the bill coming to just over $25 was a pretty good bargain. Note: PAY CASH. This was the only place I used my 'travel card' in Florida and someone apparently hiked my CC card digits and attempted to buy a $500 gaming system. Nice (shitty) touch to an otherwise pleasant day. I'm reminded why I hate Florida. read more

I go here once a week because I like a decent cheese burger. They cook them the way you want and the service is quick. It's a big burger but not too big. They have sweet potato fries too which I like better than regular fries. The prices are decent especially considering what fast food restaurants are charging for their garbage. I'd rather spend a couple more bucks and get good food. read more

Formerly long time favorite Stage Stop Diner this is one of Darrell's I've yet to dine at. Their other locations have never let me down so I was eager to try this location. It wasn't very busy and in fact I was the only one in the restaurant. I feel sad that I don't recall my server's name but she was excellent! She was friendly, The food unfortunately was disappointing. The cook was dilly dallying around the kitchen and it took awhile for him to complete the cooking process. Once it arrived I just stared at how bad it looked. The omelet itself was swimming in a pool of grease and the veggies inside had been cooked down separately to barely nothing. The sides were good and that was the only saving grace besides the service. An extra star was added on solely for the server. read more

My omelet was fluffy and tasty, but sadly my partner's breakfast burrito was super salty and was seasoned with some type of seasoning that was off-putting. The decor was nice and the staff members were top notch. read more

Our waitress, Angie, was great! She was attentive, friendly and very helpful while ordering. The concern we had was some of the food. My sweet potato fries were a bit soggy and not hot. The bun for my fish was not fresh. The fish was very good. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and onion rings. It was very good, but even though the rings were really hot, they were over cooked. Lastly, my friends omelet had unmelted cheeses in the center. The grits, however were as good as they get! It must have been an off day or time for the kitchen. We would go back again the next time in the area. read more

went to the one off of Silver Springs Blvd and service & food were amazing, but the tea is the best we've had since we vacationed in Florida. We are from Georgia, so we value our sweet tea! read more

Tasty breakfast and place was full. Ladies did a good job with teamwork and we were taken care of. Tasty hot breakfast next time in Ocala, we will be back! read more

This place was exactly what I look for in a breakfast restaurant. It's very clean, the service is excellent and the food does not disappoint. I had a standard #2 special. 2 eggs over easy, bacon, home-fries and a grilled English muffin. The eggs were fresh and cooked perfectly. The bacon was crisp and most important to me is that the home fries were browned and well seasoned. (Nothing irritates me me than getting home fries that aren't browned. You might as well have boiled potatoes.) Our waitress was authentically friendly and provided excellent customer service. She even asked specifically if I wanted my bacon crisp. We'll be back. read more

Great little place. Good menu. We had burgers and they were amazing. Definitely worth the stop.

Saw this on Yelp ad we were driving through and stopped in for breakfast. It is down home cooking and really good. Omelette was good and the sausage gravy was wonderful read more

We ate here for lunch. The service was great. They were very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was like an old diner and it was clean. The hamburgers were really good. The turkey bacon wrap and Philly cheese were good. The salad was fresh. read more

Mary was our server and we got the best service I've had in a while! Thanks for making us feel at home. The breakfast was great, love the cheesy eggs bacon was on point. I would choose the hash brown over the home fries. Home fries were a little over done for my liking but still yummy, had a good flavor. A def must stop! read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Nothing to write home about. Food was average quality, service was adequate, prices were typical for type of restaurant. read more

Ate here before kayaking Silver Springs. It was SOOO good! Had the veggie omlette with home fries and wheat toast. Even the toast was the best I've had at a diner. They use the good stuff for sure. read more

Loved loved loved this place!! Stumbled on it in the last week and came here several times. Food was great, (we had eggs corned beef hash browns biscuits and gravy waffle with strawberries... not at the same time!) It has a small town atmosphere, Heidi is a great waitress and personable . We wish we had these Darrells in Michigan! read more

Stumbled on this dog gone good roadside diner. Yummy mushroom & Swiss burger with onion rings. Our gal Angie was delightful and took great care of us. read more

Food was nearly burnt, not seasoned, and the best item on the plate was the sausage, only because it wasn't burnt beyond recognition. Didnt have time to have my meal remade and didn't want to make my wife wait while had a second attempt at breakfast. read more

Not greeted upon entering, in fact employees & customers are loudly bantering across the restaurant about their political grievances. Totally unpleasant experience. Interestingly, for all the "patriotism" being spouted in this establishment they do NOT offer a Veterans discount. read more

Great service and delicious food! Angie our server was so friendly. Breakfast Griller was so yummy! Check this place out.

Loved this place for years. Every time that I come to town I have to stop in for breakfast. The staff is super friendly and the food is always great. The menu isn't huge, but the food is great quality and very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a great diner with no BS Darrell's is the place to go! read more

We have been dining at this Darrell's location since they opened years ago, and have never been disappointed. We eat there every other Saturday at 10 in the morning. The servers are always outstanding, the food is delicious and reasonably priced. They also introduced a new menu earlier this year, with great new additions like the Great Dane. It's an excellent place to eat, we just wish it would stay open after 3 PM for dinner! If that did happen, we would eat there for dinner too. Their seasonal gift card deals are also great, buying $100 and getting $25 free, essentially getting every fifth meal free! I highly recommend this Darrell's and will continue to eat there. read more

The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Our waitress Briana was super sweet and took good care of us. Very good breakfast and lunch options. Well kept and clean! read more

The food was cold upon arrival and the cheese was still in slices in the eggs, the potatoes were over cooked, so was the bacon, this is the worst Darrell's in Ocala. read more
