I cower down as I write this review, this restaurant has gotten so much positive feedback and are known for having the burgers in the city. The food is always the most important part of the restaurant and I have eaten here several times, have always gotten different burgers and never found them very special. I've had a couple of "dry" tasting burgers--not enough sauce to balance the meat/bread, and burger usually tends to be on the well done side (despite asking otherwise). I don't find their variety particularly inspired or different compared to other burger joints. I've always gotten really bad service here. Not sure if its just my luck but 2 particular occasions really stick out to me, and since I'm always hesitant to go back. The first was I was double charged. I payed with debit and the waitress said it didn't go through so I paid again. I was assured I wasn't double charged, however when I got home and checked my bank balance I was indeed double charged. At the time I was broke as a joke. When I called to get my money refunded the manager (or however I spoke to) was hesitant and didn't really believe me. I had to bring my receipts and my debit statement (standard requests, I understand that). I was living outside the city, had no car and had to make an 2 hour bus travel all the way in to get my money back, and there was no apology or something like a voucher for my trouble. I am not one to look for freebies but after all the hassle at least a good apology would've been considerate. The second time I had a server who was very inattentive, kept leaving before we finished ordering, and brought our bill without asking if we were finished. I was having a relaxing time with a friend and we were looking to stay and have a few drinks. It wasn't close to closing time, nor was it busy so I am unsure of the abrupt service and hurry to get us out. We had every intention of ordering more and staying for a bit, but felt unwelcome and left. Go here if you want to try their hyped-up burgers and get meh service. read more

Not even sure why Yelp gives me the option of choosing anything but 5 stars for Darrell's. What can I say about Darrell's that hasn't been said a thousand other times? They have one of the best burgers in the city (PB burger), they have one of the best wraps in the city (Pump it up wrap), Darrell fries are amazing and my God the milkshakes.....the madness....!! They're sooooo good! We went during burger week (sort of a mistake) - I only say that because it was so packed - people every where and they even had a line up. Good thing there was only 2 of us, they seated us right away - score for not going out with a bunch of friends! Haha. If I remember the prices right, I think the PB burger and Darrell fries come to $12 on a regular day - but because it was burger week, it was $8. That's pretty good savings if you ask me! And it's not like they cheap up the meal because they're losing out on a few dollars, nope! You get the same great quality food! Ugh, I can't keep thinking about Darrell's, makes me wanna skip work and head down there right now!! So good!! read more

Best diner in town without question. Excellent menu, a leads reliable. All these years later it's still a favorite spot for a casual date or a treat for my daughter. Always love those pickles wedges too. Speaking of pickle wedges Darrell's was one of the first to serve deep fried dill pickles in this city and they deserve high praise for that. One sporadic complaint, turn down the AC. Also the tables are sometimes a touch sticky due to the cleaner they use. read more

I've been by Darrell's so many times when I lived in Halifax, but never actually went in until the Peanut Butter Pilgrimage. First thing I picked up on was that there was two levels, which was great because the upstairs was pretty busy when I got there. The downstairs has a bit of a sports bar type feel to it, but in a compressed way, meaning it can get crowded fast, but can also make for a good atmosphere for watching the big game. Having been my first time, I felt pretty much obligated to have their legendary peanut butter burger (With the Darrell fries) and a matching PB & Chocolate shake on the suggestion of some others there with us. First thing was the fries, which are absolutely amazing. It isn't often that you really get the crispy outside, soft inside thing just right; but they nailed it here. Then the shake. Nice, thick and tons of flavour. When they serve them up, they even bring you the metal shaker with what was left. Talk about good to the last drop! Which leaves the centrepiece, the peanut butter burger. It's been voted best burger in the city a whopping nine years running, and they continue to show why. Imagine a juicy, delicious burger, you know, the kind everyone loves. Now, imagine it with just the right amount of delicious, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth peanut butter, and you've got the Darrell's peanut butter burger. I never thought it was possible for the flavours to jive together so nicely, but they did, and it was awesome. Definitely a spot you won't want to miss and one of the city's best kept secrets! read more

I have pretty much tried it all at Darrell's and not once would I give it under 4 stars! I am a huge fan of their Pepper Burger and highly recommend it to anyone who likes the classics, but doesn't like to keep it, well, boring! It is this wonderful, mouthwatering burger topped with crisp green and red peppers, melted mozzarella cheese and a few jalapeños just to kick it up a notch! There's also this mayo on it that blows my mind, I would describe it as buttery smooth but that just doesn't do it justice. It has to be tried! Their sides are all wonderful, I will go between the Darrell's fries, the regular fries, a poutine but more often than not I will have the Darrell's M.O.B. Salad with italian dressing as a substitute (for a small extra charge) because it is on it's own level of yum! I also highly recommend the Snake Bites at Darrell's! Again, a spin on a classic, it's like someone took chicken breast nuggets and brought them to life! They're crunchy, spicy and just a little piece of foodie heaven! Well worth the higher-than-I-like-for-an-appetizer price! Cajun mayo is my preferred dip but they have lots to choose from for these yummy treat! If you're of age, get a Darrell's Lager! I am not educated in the ways of beer but I find this beverage to be clean and fresh and oh so satisfying! Oh and don't forget to ask for a side of their pickles! After you have the one on your Pepper Burger platter, you'll want more! Trust me! I wish I still lived in Fenwick Tower 'cause now I'm hungry! read more

They have a real diner atmosphere with absurdly good food. It becomes immediately clear why Darrel's is an award winner when it comes to burgers and milkshakes when you order one. My partner and I came here after seeing the reviews and it's become one of our favourite spots. All of the milkshakes are great, Darrell' s fries are perfect, and you can't go wrong with any of their burgers (but the Hen Den is a personal favourite) and they have dangerously good pulled pork. read more

Where do veggie's go when they live downtown and have a wicked hangover and need a burger and fries? Well, if they're smart, they go to Darrell's. The veggie peanut butter burger with Darrell fries is the greatest hangover lunch you can have if you're vegetarian. If you're not, then just get the regular peanut butter burger :) Delicious, fast, and reasonably priced. Just the perfect little spot. read more

Believe it or not, this was my first time at Darrell's. It was great! Unfortunately due to healthy eating issues, I couldn't order the famous peanut butter burger but the salad I had was yummy. Nice size and good price. The milkshakes my friends ordered were large enough to share. You can get 2 glasses per shake. The restaurant was smaller than I thought it was. It's like an older style retro diner- I think that's an appropriate description? I did get to have a bite of the burger and I can't stop thinking about it! The 'Darrell's Fries' were also delish. I'll be back soon for sure to try out ol' faithful peanut butter burger. read more

Peanut butter burger. Those are the 3 words I've been uttering multiple times daily since experiencing my first on my last Haligonian trip. I can read your mind... you're wondering if I'm crazy... how could peanut butter work so well with a BLT, Cheese + mustard, relish and tomato burger? But, wait for it, IT DOES. Burger Rules: 1. Pad your pockets, line your loins with linens. Lots and lots of linens. 2. Don your biggest appetite. This could be your one meal of the day. 3. Don't bring a first date. It's messy. Very very messy. Unless you don't want to engage in any idle chit chat. Your mouth will be too full of burger and PB! 4. Order the wedge fries as a side. And make sure you eat a few before you start on the burger. You just might not finish. 5. Wait for your laundry to be done. Oh, wait, those nooks are just for the laundromat that USED to be in the basement. That makes total sense :p 6. And even after all of that, it's probably smart to have a direct route to the bathroom - which, FYI, is more modern than the rest of this dinery-dive combined. read more

Fair trade organic java, vegetarian options aplenty, milkshakes and onion rings - this is a sport's bar with a twist, priding themselves on quality and consistency, with a dash of originality to boot. Have you ever heard of the Darell's famous peanut butter burger? It's all the rage amongst the converted fiends. They consistently win The Coast's 'Best Of' award for both their crazy nutty burger, as well as their juicy meat-free option. They have a huge menu, with burgers, falafels, pitas, lasagna, nachos and fries, salads and poutine, coming together to create far too many choices for any individuals afflicted by an inability to make decisions! Their service is friendly and homey, and the space is cozy with ample TV screens for your viewing pleasure. When the sun graces the sky for the short Halifax summer months, this patio is a must visit. It is a lovely wooden space, with botanicals spilling from boxes, on a quiet South End street. My recommendations for you: Order a vanilla milkshake, some onion rings, and if you're extra hungry, one of their renowned burger options. You'll be as tickled by your meal as you will be by the great service and hospitable atmosphere. Happy scarfing! read more

OK, I'm admitting it, I walked by this tucked away gem daily for close to 2 years! Then one glorious, yet hungover, afternoon we stopped in. It felt like Moses split the seas and directed us in! We choose a table (downstairs), and then quickly ordered something greasy that would ease the pain of the previous night. I ordered their famous club wrap, and from the first bite decided I would never order another thing off the menu. My girlfriend is less stubborn, and has tried several options on the menu and has loved everything equally. Also, the service is always great, and very casual. You're not pestered, nor are you forgotten. Darrell's isn't swanky by any standard, and if you're looking for a fine dining experience keep on Yelping. But if you're looking for a place with exceptional food, great service, and something to ease the ache of last night than this is place for you! read more

This is the first time I've been here and I loved the food. The peanut butter burger and Darrell's fries were amazing. Only problem we had a rude waitress who was texting behind the counter... That was annoying. I had a $2 off coupon and she seemed almost annoyed...? I'm new to the city, and that coupon is the reason I came into the restaurant to spend my money. She would have been better off to make my experience enjoyable and then I'd come back. I'm going to be trying all my other options in the city before going back. read more

My husband and I ate here a few months ago after I told him (he's from Toronto) that he just had to have the milkshake. It was a Saturday evening, so the place was busy, but not crazy. I hadn't eaten at Darrell's in years, but had all good experiences to date. Boy did I end up disappointed! To start, our server was rude and couldn't seem to hide the fact that she would rather have been anywhere then there serving us. I ordered a pop and it was flat. Sending it back was a huge hassle. We ordered a chocolate milkshake to share and ended up with a peanut butter chocolate milk shake and it was gross. Who wants a drink with floating nuts in it? Regrettably, we did not send it back; was too afraid of our server's spit potential. The main course was the real kicker though. I ordered the turkey pita. It would it have been great had it not been dripping in grease. I was sick all night from it. I think they bathed it in a grease vat before serving. The shame of it was that it would have been good if it weren't so greasy. Bottom Line: I'm done with Darrell's! read more

Mozza sticks, peanut butter & chocolate milk shake, and peanut butter (veggie) burger with Darrell fries. That ^ is my meal at Darrell's. You don't have to "go big or go home" at Darrell's but it's awfully tempting. I can't get it every time because a) that's a lot of food; b) that's a lot of unhealthy food; and c) that's a lot of expensive unhealthy food. I've been coming to Darrell's a long time (since it was "My other brother Darrell's") and always walk away satisfied. If you asked me what the one thing I recommend on the menu is, I'd tell you, plain and simple; the mozza sticks. I think Darrell's was the first place I ever had them and to me they remain, hands down, the best in the city. Which isn't to say the peanut butter burger isn't awesome - it's just messier. I should say: the menu is quite extensive and they have specials that are always of note. You can see them on the top floor's giant chalk wall. And that's a point - they have both an upstairs and downstairs (trivia downstairs used to be a laundromat) dining area. But everyone knows upstairs is where it's at. Actually, their patio in the summer is THE spot. It's outdoor but with a bit of shade so you get all the patio experience without being blinded by sunlight. read more

Ode to a Peanut Butter Burger, Darrell Fries, and Chocolate Milkshake, Or, How I Found Everything I Never Knew I Wanted For Dinner... Okay, I'll admit it, I was one of the skeptics. Peanut butter, something I had previously only ever combined with jam and bread, maybe the occasional cracker, with a hamburger and all the (more traditional) fixings? Come on, how could that possibly taste good? And yet... I now believe. Wow. The whole meal was like a party in my mouth. The salty sweetness of the peanut butter played really well off the savouryness (is that a word?) of the meat. And the Darrel fries were equally good, crispy, slightly spicy, and very tasty. The crowning glory to the meal was the milkshake, incredibly thick and creamy, and full of chocolate-y goodness. I have also had their Original Club Pita, which is seven different kinds of delicious in and of itself. And their nachos. Again, wow. Not *quite* enough cheese for me, but I'm very picky about my tortilla chip to cheese ratio with this dish. Still, VERY yummy, served hot, with a decent amount of toppings, and fresh, crisp chips. Service seems quite prompt and friendly, and I enjoy the old-timey diner feel of the place. So if you haven't already, take a chance and give the ol' PB burger a try! I bet you won't be disappointed! And if you are, can I finish what you don't want? read more

Having spent a lot of my University days in the south end, Darrell's was the #1 place for my roommate and I to go for food on a lazy Sunday evening. I have yet to try anything on the menu that disappoints and with a wide variety of items to choose from, you never have to get bored of the same thing. My favorites are the Abrigo Chipotle wrap and the PB burger! I also love the consistency that you can expect at Darrell's. Whether you're eating in or taking out or whether it's crazy busy or super slow, the food always tastes fresh and deeeeeellllicious! read more

I've had Darrell's take-out a few times but yesterday was the first time I was in the actual restaurant. I went downstairs to their "sports bar" section. It's not really a sports bar at all, I mean it has a bar, and there were sports on the TV, but.... You know what I mean! It's just like an average dive restaurant. The upstairs looked nicer, but it was pretty busy up there. Regardless of the restaurant itself, the food is great! Of course I got the infamous peanut butter burger, that's why I went! I took a PBB newbie with me too, and he seemed to like it! The burger was huge... I couldn't even eat it all! But it was as delicious as ever! I really like the buns they use. I feel like the bun really makes the burger. For my side I got their garden salad with honey Dijon dressing, which was actually pretty good; it was like a shredded salad almost, if that makes any sense! Our two servers, one was training, were super nice and attentive! I love great service! read more

For my second entry on the Burger Baron's list... Darrell's is just the ticket, wot wot. A group of 8 of my friends and I entered, and were almost immediately (which is no small feat if you know the size of Darrell's) accommodated on a Saturday night. I came in, with the intentions of going with the classic Darrell's original, peanut butter burger. But a quick glance at the new menu (since I last attended) brought about a new burger to tantalize the taste buds. The Hen Den Burger. A beef patty, with a fried egg, lettuce, guac, among other things.. and I was sold. A nacho' app to go around the table got us rolling, and then onto the main course. An amazing combination of heat from the guac, creaminess of the egg and just general burger heaven. A must have for any burger aficionado . read more

My husband and I were looking for a casual lunch spot and happened upon Darrell's. It was an easy choice for us because they had parking out front and the city was particularly busy and we were having trouble parking. They got us seated right away upstairs on the deck. It was a beautiful day and was perfect for sitting outside. Our waitress Selby was especially awesome and she helped explain all the different options (since we're from the states so some of the menu items were weren't familiar with). She also gave us awesome tips on where to go in the city while we were visiting which we really appreciated! The food was delicious. I got the falafel lunch wrap with Darrell fries. Their tatziki is really really good. Highly recommended! It was the perfect lunch--not too big but I definitely felt like I had enough to eat. My husband got a burger and said it was very good. He also got the Chocolate PB milkshake and I had a sip and it was top notch. They also give you the extra so it was a good value. Overall we really loved the spot and would definitely return! read more

Holy crow! I cannot believe I have failed to review Darrell's. I used to live just around the corner and the hearty wraps and burgers were a diet staple. Never in my life would I have considered peanut butter on a burger, but one experiment at Darrell's and I was hooked. Sometimes I even do it at home, but there's nothing like the big juicy patty there in those green vinyl booths to make it an event. (They'll even make it with a (very tasty) veggie patty) And I have no success making wedges anywhere near as good as the Darryl's fries. The time is gone again for this year, but the festive wrap is also an event. Piles of just-roasted turkey, moist stuffing, cranberry sauce, all wrapped up and begging to be devoured? Yes please. And back when I ate cheese, the turkey-pecan croissant was also a serious contender. What are you waiting for? It's almost lunch time! read more

If Darrell's was a real person, he'd be one of your favourite people: friendly, fun, reliable and consistent. The service is always friendly and attentive. The reasonably priced food is consistently fresh and flavourful--a step above typical diner fare. And even when the place is busy, the food arrives quickly. While this place is known for its award-winning burgers (perfect hangover food), I always order another signature dish, the Turkey Pita Club. The combination of fresh pita, home-cooked turkey and tasty bacon wins me over every time although on my last few visits I have been tempted by the recent culinary innovation of the Hen Den burger (a massive burger topped with an egg, guacamole and other tasty toppings). The Darrell fries are usually well cooked, making a crispy and tasty side dish. If you're looking for a healthier choice, the house salad is a strong option. In the drinks department, the milkshakes are awesome. With a whack of flavours to choose from, you get full value as the shakes are served with the extra in the metal container. If you're not into shakes, free refills on pop and coffee should tempt you. The environment is definitely laidback and casual. You can sit upstairs in one of the comfy booths. If you prefer a little more space or are with a larger group, opt for downstairs where there are traditional tables and chairs. On packed nights, you can grab a seat at the downstairs bar. On both levels, you'll be able to watch sports on a flat screen tv. In the summer, you can sit on the fairly large patio. The mixture of customers--university students, twenty somethings and young families--shows Darrell's is clearly a favourite neighbour. read more

First thing is first: I didn't actually eat in the restaurant. I got take out for myself and some coworkers. For this reason, mainly, I give it 3 stars. I may change that if I get the chance to dine in. And I'm just going to put this out there right off the bat: the PB Burger was alright. Yes, just alright. Not amazing. Not bad, but to me not "best burger" worthy. To me it was just a standard burger with a smear of PB on it. Not much of a wow-factor for me. The only thing notable was you need a stack of napkins to get through this thing as the sauces and condiments go flying when you bite into it. The fries (the regular variety) were disappointing. I like my fries crispy, but these were lackluster soggy. I hear there is a downstairs bar type portion of Darrell's. The upstairs is small, and cramped, and is certainly diner style. They've got a patio outside as well for when the weather cooperates. Service wise it was Ok as well. The girl I spoke to on the phone to place my order sounded like she didn't like her job very much. The girl I dealt with when I picked my order up was more pleasant and helpful. For a first Darrell's experience it was decent. I'm sure I'll try them again at some point. read more

Just when I didn't think that Darrell's couldn't get ANY better I tried the new fresh, never frozen Angus beef burger!! Oh my GOD!! It was so amazing. The meat was perfect. My peanut butter burger was OOZING with melty PB goodness along with the right amount of cheese and toppings. The Darrell fries were hot a crispy and seasoned perfectly. The service was good and fast. The price was right. There is nothing bad to say! read more

There's a very good reason that the Peanut Butter Burger has won the "Best Burger" award from The Coast for a bunch of years in a row. I think they're to the point where one more win and The Coast will be retiring the award and giving it to Darrell's indefinitely. My only complaint is that I didn't know about this place when I was in university, and that it's too far from downtown to make it up and back on lunch. This would have been the perfect place to run down to during those 2-hour breaks between classes to grab something to eat, but it's too far to go to make it here and back on lunch now that I'm working. We've been here a number of times now, even make a specific trip from Dartmouth a couple times, and it's never disappointed. The staff is good, the service is quick, and the food can't be beat. read more

Had the veggie burger here tonight and have to say it was really good. Did not taste like your garden variety frozen patty; it had the distinct (and I mean that in a good way) flavour of jalapeno and spices. Mmm! The vanilla shakes are great though for the price ($4) I expect them to be a little bigger. I wish they offered sweet potato fries. The Darrell fries are ok, and better than the regular fries, but sweet potato fries and a curry mayo on the side would make everything better :-) read more

I hadn't been to Darrell's in about 4 years or more... so when I mentioned to friends that I was craving poutine when I got off my flight from Calgary, well, they brought me here. When I used to visit Darrell's it was for the pita lunches, so I didn't really know that they had good poutine. It's unfortunate that I haven't tried the famous Peanut Butter Burger yet, but I had poutine on the brain and that's all I wanted! Which is fine, because it was very tasty and filling. Yummy gravy and plenty of cheese curds to satisfy your poutine desires! My friends got the same meal, so I can't say much about the rest of the menu for this trip (but I do remember the pitas used to be very good). The service was very quick and friendly, which was nice because I'm sure I was telling some bad jokes after my long day of flying! I had definitely missed being around my fellow Haligonians and our server reminded me how great the people of this city are. I also quite enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, very comfortable and low key which I like. It's good when you can say that the service and food are still great in between a long break in visits... I'll definitely be back again when I'm in Halifax with another poutine craving. I will have to try the Best Burger then - no excuses! read more

Delicious! Fantastic service (especially from Kim) and great food. It is always quick, tasty and local:) The pitas are the best I have ever had....especially the Holiday pita which they have every year around Thanksgiving! You have to check this place out. Fantastic! read more

Peanut Butter Burger, indeed !!!! What a brilliant thing to be know and city wide famous for. I don't think the paddy itself has peanut butter mixed into it, just a thick layer spread on top like any other garnish. So simple yet soooooo delicious. It must be getting close to my tenth visit and this place is consistent, spot on every time with better than average service. If you are going to brave a milkshake all to yourself, bring your appetite. I suggest sharing the shake with a friend so you don't risk leaving anything behind on your plate. If you are here in the summer, ignore the above. Apply generous amounts of sunscreen, get comfortable on the patio and imbibe. read more

Ordered a peanut butter burger, was swarmed with fruit flies my whole meal, burger was delicious, TAKEOUT ONLY

I truly feel like this place is overpriced for the food. They're very consistent with everything food-wise, but I will never understand their pricing. Getting the lunch size pita club saves you only a couple dollars even though it's half the size of the normal one. It's just not worth the money, honestly. If I do go, I get the original pita club. It really is tasty, just overpriced. I feel as though if they lowered their prices 10-15%, it would line up better with quality and portion sizes. Side note: don't sit downstairs in the back corner by the bar, it stinks something awful back there. read more

I would place a delivery order as good will arrive cold and old! Never had a problem dining in!

Who would have thought, peanut butter on a burger?! WOW. Everything was amazing, the service was good and the food even better! I would defiantly go back again, and bring my whole family with me! read more

Had a great time during burger week. The line to get in went from the front door to about 25 feet back outside the back door cutting through the restaurant. The staff gave hot fries to people waiting. Took 20 minutes to get inside. The place was packed with customers but the staff were quick in cleaning the tables when customers left. The peanut burger was tasty and the waitstaff came and asked if we needed anything a few times. Also had Darrel's fries spilt between my companion and myself an was large enough portion to fill us up. read more

Guys, it's not a joke. Stop resisting the siren song of the peanut butter burger and just give in to its ooey gooey goodness. And while you're at it, shovel in a hand-full (or 5) of Darrell's fries. Your waistline might regret it, but the rest of you won't. read more

Well I had my first experience at Darrell's and the food was amazing. The Darrell fries are to die for and I had the pita club which is better than any other pita I've had before. I don't know what it is but I absolutely love the restaurant decor. It feels very retro and welcoming; the waitress we had was also pleasant, quick an attentive to our table. My next trip will involve the infamous peanut butter burger and a strawberry milkshake. read more

This place has been a place I have wanted to go to ever since I heard of the PB Burger. After almost a year I finally got to try it while having a nice meal with my partner. The overall interior wasn't what I expected but that's not always a bad thing. It felt and looked like a little mini diner. The staff was great and the experience was welcoming. The burger overall was nice n juicy with the perfect amount of peanut butter. It's was great. However It did seem like something was missing. It would have been better with Jam. Strawberry jam to be exact. Next time I eat there I'll be sure to ask for a packet. I highly recommend the PB Burger for people who like trying new things! read more

Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day and after a nice drive, my husband and I decided to stop into Darrell's for a burger and poutine. Our server was very pleasant and he kept a good eye on his tables. There was a sign referencing renovations, but we experienced no inconvenience or disruptions. Their bathrooms have been updated with modern sinks, felt a bit cramped and could use a coat/purse hook but were clean and bright. We sat in the upstairs area, which was filled to capacity. My husband ordered the pepper burger which came with out it's jalapeños. Our server was quick to correct that with a small dish filled with yummy jalapeño peppers! I was very pleased by their veggie burger. I am by no means a vegetarian, but really enjoy a hot, well made veggie burger and I very much enjoyed Darrell's version. it was cooked well, crispy around the edges and tender in the middle. We substituted our sides of fries for a shared poutine. There were sufficient curds and the dark beef gravy was tasty. We did find the fries a bit soggy, but we still (I still) finished the whole dish. It has been a few years since our last visit to Darrell's, and I'm glad we stopped back in. My father in law is a big fan of their peanut butter burger, and I should try that on my next visit. read more

Oh Darrell's! My heart leaps when I hear "Pita Club" now. But nothing ever compares to what you have in store for me!! We were back at Darrell's for the first time in a while on the weekend and I have to say that, once again, they did not disappoint! I knew I needed some pita club, and my husband tried a chipolte burger, both with Darrell fries. Is there any other way?! No. Even on Saturday at 2 p.m. the place was busy. We got a great little table and were served immediately. We knew what we wanted to have so we ordered and our shakes were there within minutes. Once the food arrived it was hot, tasty and perfectly prepared. Just the right amount of mayo on the pita club and extra ketchup on the side for my husband's burger. The Darrell fries were plentiful, crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. It was excellent. And that new (is it new? It's been a while since I was upstairs!) blackboard along the wall is cute - great specials advertised and some cute drawings as well. As always, deliciously done Darrell's! read more

So, although I like to call myself a TRUE Haligonian (as I was born and raised here.)...I am ashamed to say that I went to Darrell's for the FIRST time today! The infamous Peanut Butter Burger is not the only thing that draws people in, yet I had yet to step foot until I myself was showing someone around town! But boyyyy was I happy I DID! I am probably one of few in the world who could take or leave PB. So I left the PB burg for the others at the table, who equally loved the experience. I opted for the Nacho Burger...this contained literally everything you could ever want on your nachos...PLUS a burger! Im talkin nacho chips, jalapenos, guac and CHEEEESE! And the burger itself was moist and delicious! ..... Did i mention the Darrell's Fries? Seasoned fried potato wedges....um, YES PLEASE! The space was crowded but the service was quick and friendly. Luckily everyone is into their own meals, the fact I had to clean my face off after every bite was not a major issue! (or not that I noticed...) I am definitely going to head back, maybe do a take out order to avoid any embarrassing "face covered in burger" situations...But I do want to try the other delicious options, and the location is a nice enough walk from the waterfront or Spring garden you don't feel too bad about eating the ENTIRE meal....
