After hearing from several people that we "had to check out Darrell's," we finally decided to hit…read moreit up for lunch. We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

The stars are definitely ONLY for the service I received which I would give all 5 stars but I don't want people to think the sandwich was worth the stop. I just got a regular club (maybe the other sandwiches/hot are better) but the quality of ingredients gave cheap wall lunch meat at Walmart (you can look at my pictures) I got the Watermelon Lemonade and instantly got a sugar rush from the first sip; that shit taste like concentrate!! And was thick even with ice!! Like you could get a cup of it and take it home to make a pitcher for the family.

Really!! I honestly think this employee had a problem with the color of my skin by her attitude and it's very much not appropriate for a Company to hire people who disrespect customers who are patronizing your establishment!!

The lady that took our order wasn't super friendly or engaging. But they seems short staffed, so very possibly she was just distracted.

So there was just tables filled with old dishes... not many places to sit. Not the most attractive environment.

Upon entering we were met with the cutest sci-fi / star wars themed room. I immediately noticed that they are inclusive to all, and appreciated that deeply. I ordered an iced pumpkin latte with oat milk, and my boyfriend ordered a black and white frozen latte. We would both rate our cof drinks a 7/10. I feel mine would have been better if I got the cold foam but I was worried they couldn't do that with oat milk. We also got a bagel and some beignets. The bagel was good, the cream cheese comes separate in a container and you spread it yourself. Beignets were also decent. The barista that helped us was kind. We will be back since I wanted to try " The Froth Awakens".
