Best Burgers You Will Ever Find!

by ldressler at Citysearch

Deeeelicious burgers! Wow! My family and I go to Darla's every time we are in SF, and Darla's never disappoints! Literally the best burgers I have ever had. The green chile and Monterey Jack burger is my favorite - and is always served to me the way I request - medium rare. And if the burgers are fabulous, the fries are perfect - never greasy and always delivered nice and hot. Great lemonade too - and the refills on the lemonade are free! Service is efficient and Darla is very friendly. And of course everybody loves the little bite-sized brownies that come with the check. A great place for a tasty, inexpensive meal in a relaxing, casual, family (i.e., kids are more than welcome) atmosphere. LOVE it!

• Pros: Great burgers, great service, casual atmosphere
• Cons: None!

Worth going to

by pookalooka at Citysearch

Darla's was really worth going to especially since I don't live on that part of the city. Anyone with kids should really try this place. It wasn't packed when I had went the other night. Service was quick and the food was delicious. Try the southern fried chicken. It was so good and it comes with mashed potatoes & vegetables. If you're like me and likes going to restaurants that has kids' menus, they do have a variety of options to choose from for your kids. And if you didn't know already, Tuesday nights is the night to go. As long as you order one adult entree & a soda, you can get up to two kids' meals free! And when Darla gave us our check, she also gave us some brownies. That was really good too. I'll be sure to be back!

• Pros: affordable, good food, kid's menu
• Cons: none

Good nonfancy food

by jane_smly at Citysearch

Darla's is the kind of restaurant that you take for granted and if it's not around anymore you will feel a pang of loss. Everything they serve tastes good and is excellent value. Go on a sunny day and seat in the back patio. Or go during Sunday brunch - you can always find a seat, and it's just as good as the other diners on the block. Homemade muffins are a plus, and I love the free bite of brownie they include with the bill. If they revamped the main dining room, they might be a roaring success - there is something about the fengshui of that place that is not right.

Great Service, good food

by futo_maki at Citysearch

Darla was wonderful. She's friendly and the place is very homey.

The omlettes are good, and the red potatoes were fantastic. Sausage was tasty, so was the lemonade. The place was nice and quiet at 11AM and the service was fast. Prices are good, with two people we spent about $24 with tip.

I love this place!!

by dpb05 at Citysearch

Whenever you're in the mood for comfort food, Darla's is the place to go. Her burgers really are wonderful. But they do other things well also, including her delicious fried chicken and omelettes. I also love the fact that you get a little brownie for free at the end of each meal. I always leave Darla's satisfied

• Pros: Tasty food, yummy brownies, service
• Cons: Parking

best clam chowder and ceasar salad

by sfo_fa at Citysearch

While wandering along Irving street, looking for a place to eat lunch, we decided to try Darla's. We walked in and found a table right away, it was 1pm on a Friday. The dining room was welcoming, there are also a few tables outside in a rear patio, but today was too chilly to sit there. Neither of us wanted a burger, but there are plenty of other delicious items on the menu. I decided to try the clam chowder and a cheesesteak sandwich. My friend ordered the California sandwich with a small ceasar salad. The clam chowder is absolutely the best I have tasted. My first spoonful tasted of butter, cream and clams with just the right amount of seasonings. I couldn't put my spoon down until I finished off my cup of soup. Next I started in on the sandwich. It was also very delicious. My friend said the ceasar salad dressing was the best, it is homemade by Darla. She needs to market this dressing for sale! To top the meal off, a small brownie bit was brought with the bill. The brownie was also fantastic, very rich and moist.

This was my first trip to Darla's but it will certainly not be my last! Thank you Darla for a delicious lunch served with a wonderful smile.

• Pros: food, service
• Cons: none

Loved their soup and french fries

by apple415 at Citysearch

Service was not great but food was good.

Some of people commented that the food was greasy but it wasn't.

There was a big tree and I think it should be removed to somewhere else.

• Pros: soup, french fries
• Cons: service, ambience

Probably NOT the best burger in town

by jlevine1234 at Citysearch

We had our first and last experience with Darla's today. Though the staff was reasonably nice and service quick, the food that arrived on the table was, well, just lousy.

Beef burgers were undercooked. Turkey burgers had strong, odd spicing - way overspiced with something like Tarragon. The fries were greasy to the point of being disgusting, and the kids chicken nuggets made no pretense of being prepared in the restaurant - they were clearly a common store brand of frozen, dinosaur-shaped things.

And to top it all off, this was way overpriced for a meal no better than the average McDonald's.

• Cons: Expensive, Sub-par food, Lousy ambience

A rare find

Run by Darla herself, the place is infused with her love, sweat and tears. Not to mention, the food is fantastic. And Darla is, well, darling.

Best Breakfast

by aliciaerin22 at Citysearch

Darla's serves up the best eggs, the best potatoes and the best coffee for and all around never-dissapointing breakfast. I live around the corner and whenever family come to visit, they request we go to Darla's for her potatoes! Service is quick! Love this place
