Great little hometown diner, we stopped in on our way to the beach based on the reviews, and folks, they didn't disappoint, the food and service were excellent and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend for anyone in the area for the races or for those on the way to the beaches from Charlotte area. read more

I'm really not sure why I didn't give Takis 5 stars 10 years ago but it must have been a mistake on my part. We have eaten here over 100 times, the food and service are always great! read more

Wow, my wife and I stopped here for a late lunch and all I can say is the food was excellent. The service superb. We really enjoyed it. I got a Pete's burger with chili cheese fries and probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The fries were a bit soggy but still good. My wife had a chicken Philly and she liked it. Onions rings were good. For an app we had the jalapeños cheese puff, they were good. I would get them again. read more

This place is amazing. The food portion is just enough to fill you up and not have food to waste. I had been wanting stuffing for a while. I was so excited when they said they had stuffing and baked chicken. The chicken was moist and the stuffing was a perfect mix. My dad had the fried chicken it was crispy and juicy. The dinning area reminds me of an old time dinner. It was nice having lunch here with my dad for his was his type of place. He's a huge Elvis fan. They have statues of different icons like Elvis. We had to take a picture with Elvis this year and last year. These are memories I'll cherish forever. I don't get to spend a lot of quality one on one time with my dad. read more

I moved out here from Comifornia (California), and someone's recommended the place, so I tried it, and WOW the food was beyond excellent, and the service was even better, prices are great too! They even made sure I always have a full cup of incredibly good coffee, so if you ever visit Darlington South Carolina, I HIGHLY recommend this place! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I don't usually leave reviews on restaurants, but i saw this place had a 4.5 and thought it was way too high. My dad and I came in to eat breakfast one morning and the service was okay but he was served RAW sausage. The biscuits were also hard as rocks, i'm talking so hard they could've broke windows. The waitresses were all nice about the inconvenience but this place needs some new cooks asap. read more

This used to be my favorite go-to. Now the food is hit and miss. I will not go back. My latest experience was last week: Ordered to go, a hamburger steak dinner and a Greek Salad. The hamburger steak was small and over cooked, dry and tasteless and I paid for a full sized Greek Salad and received a side sized Greek Salad. The last 3 times something similar has happened. When I called, the woman hung up on me. There are other diners here that have improved, have been more consistent, but not this one. I quit eating inside. I hate hearing servers talk crap each other. It's a shame. read more

The service is great and the food is always hot and fresh. If you come to Darlington you definitely need to stop by and try it . read more

Very well respected family business Owned and Operated by locals. ALWAYS good clean fresh meals. read more

I really enjoyed the food especially the mozzarella sticks. I would recommend if you live in south Carolina

Great little "meat & 3" place. The food is tasty and service is good. The last time we were I enjoyed the fried flounder with slaw and baked potato. Our server brought enough sour cream for me, which is fantastic. Their unsweetened tea is really good. Hubby had the pork tips with rice and gravy and cabbage. I thought he might lick the plate! We topped off the meal with a shared hot fudge cake. It was served with an additional scoop of ice cream on the side. Again, hubby almost licked the plate. We will come back again soon! read more

Great food. Food: menu has a lot of different kinds of food, yet so far I haven't gotten anything here I haven't liked. Price: personally, I consider any restaurant where you can get a plate for less than $10 a good deal. Atmosphere: 1950's American diner theme. Some of the seats could use updating. Seemed clean read more

A local jewel! The nicest service you can imagine with great food. I will definitely go back next time in Darlington... read more

Takis Diner - Diners Near Me - Darlington, South Carolina

My son and I enjoyed club sandwiches last night. He had fries and I had homemade chips. Delicious. Great service.

Takis continues to be one of the best places to eat in Darlington. The adding of the drive up pick up window has been a blessing to me! The Grilled Chicken Club sandwich is the best around!! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. It has that hometown feeling. Everyone talks about how good the breakfast is. But I have just had lunch and dinner. And I have never ordered anything that I didn't like. But my favorite is the Smothered Chicken. ( except no mushrooms for me). It has the best flavor. Comes with salad and another side. I love the bake potato. Great family restaurant! read more

Food was great customer service was great they made me feel at home and I'm way from California I will be back soon

Classic breakfast items but they're served cold and flavorless. Will not return. Over priced for what it is. Not sure how they stay open.

Great workers and food!! Lots of choices to choose from, and not bad price.

Takis has been a Darlington staple for as long as I can remember. The food here is always amazing and the staff are always on point.

This was a great place to have lunch before going to the race! The chicken salad sandwich was wonderful. My husband had the beef tips and rice and really enjoyed that. They offer a buffet for &9.99 that looked nice. read more

I eat here all the time and it is usually great! But today I got my food and it was slightly on the cold side. I ordered dumplings and Mac and cheese. I got a small portion of both. Nothing like normal. The man at the next table ordered the same and his plate was piled high, like mine usually is. I order sweet potato suffle which was in no way suffle it was yams, huge difference. I hate yams but love suffle. So, I will try again but hope I get better next time. read more

Great service and everything tasted great. Good southern home cooking. Had the diner club and it had carved meat, not prepackaged.

When in Darlington, you must visit Takis. Great food, an incredible selection and some of the friendliest service you'll ever encounter. Any meal at any time of the day, always the best! read more

So you know that lovely idea of an old-fashioned home-town diner? THIS IS IT AND MORE! I live nearby and this place has been consistently delicious from the time I was a young child until now that I am a grown woman with three kids of my own. They feature affordable rotating blue-plate style specials daily which are easily located on their Fb page ...or just call them and ask. You'll get the menu listing as well as a side of southern charm. Some of my favorites are the quesadilla, the 3 appetizer platter, and the grilled chicken sandwich. For as long as I can remember my dad has ordered the "Elvis" burger and it has always come out just right. This is a place where food is affordable and where community comes together. Expect to be greeted with a warm welcome and enjoy a plethora of options from old fashioned American standards to incredible Greek dishes as well. The owners are well known in town and are humble, kind, and community oriented. I can comfortably send one of my kids in to pick up food to-go and know that they will be treated kindly and that the food will be just right. If you are nearby, don't miss this small town Darlington institution...and have a chuckle at the decor! Tell them Laci sent you and grab a piece of coconut pie to go! read more

Great diner gem. Had the Greek salad with Gyro meat. Very authentic and tasty. Can't wait to visit again to try other menu options.
