YUM to Everything!

by jboyer82 at Citysearch

I was only in San Francisco for 3 days, but I came very close to trying everything on the menu. A group of 6 of us stumbled in for a late lunch, never having been to San Franciso, and we couldn't have been happier that we did!!! The service was incredible...the food was as good as it gets...and the bloody mary's were fabulous. I only wish we could have gone one more time before we left (and we went twice)!

Greasy, Greasy, Greaseball!!

by membro at Citysearch

I went to this hamburger joint and could not have had a worse experience. The servers ignored us for several minutes, then the woman who attended my group was rude and sarcastic. The food was oily beyond belief, such that the bread was soaked through and fell away when you picked up your sandwich. The fries were limp, oil-soaked and stale. We threw our sandwiches in the trash.

Utterly indedible.

I want to take Darla home with me!

by mamajew at Citysearch

Since I started dating my boyfriend, we have been back to Darla's innumerable times (one condition of staying at his place on the weekends is that we get breakfast). I love the burgers and the bacon, tomato, avocado and cheddar omelette so much that I have not been able to order anything else. Value is excellent and all the patrons - adults as well as kids - love the free brownie bonus with the check. Now if only we can convince her to stay open late on the weekends so the post-drinking munchies are tended to! There is also something to be said about the owner and real life cutie from the menu cover serving you with a smile!

  • Pros: great food, smiling service, brownies!

Darla never disappoints

by ard6 at Citysearch

We live in the Inner Sunset and eat at Darla's at least once a week. Fresh, quality ingredients, prompt and friendly service (often by Darla herself), reasonable prices and a low-key atmosphere make Darla's our favorite for weeknight dining on the cheap - feels like eating at home. On weekends, brunch is fantastic - fluffy omeletes with super fresh fruit on the side, or the veggie sandwich which is my favorite, with the cream of tomato basil soup. The burgers are all good. On Thursday nights they offer a complimentary glass of wine. Oh, and the brownies are possibly the best around. It is a family-friendly place so occasionally there is a crying baby or squirrely little kid running around which can be a drawback if you're tired and/or hung over. Otherwise, Darla's is pretty quiet and low-key and the perfect place for a relaxing meal.

  • Pros: Fresh food, Friendly service, Reasonable prices

Best Burger in the City by far!

by chrisconan at Citysearch

My fiancee and I go to Darla's all the time! We moved away from SF for a year (2004-2005). Every time we came back to visit, we would HAVE TO get a burger at Darla's. The food is great and Darla is precious. It is MUST to go to Darla's while in SF.

  • Pros: Darla, Burgers, Milkshakes
  • Cons: N/A, N/A, N/A

Best burger according to who?

by gabriella1111 at Citysearch

not the best burger around or even in the running

Breakfast and burgers at family-friendly prices at this cheerful Inner Sunset diner.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
Darla's spare dining room has clean lines, but doesn't feel sterile. Soft touches like sponge-painted walls in a cheery melon shade beckon Inner Sunset neighbors--families with kids, couples, and single diners.The menu's updated diner food includes juicy burgers and crispy fried chicken. A full roster of breakfast favorites can be had all day, including fluffy pancakes and a filling breakfast burrito.

Best Breakfast in the Sunset!

by dtgutman at Citysearch

Wow! My husband and I had given up on finding a nice breakfast place near our home. We'd tried so many restaurants over the last five years and all ranged between inconsistently good to downright awful. We both like to cook, and couldn't believe that no restaurant around knew how to prepare a decent omelet.

We just tried Darla's for the first time last weekend after seeing the good ratings here and were AMAZED. Fantastic omelets! Fantastic service (with personality, too)! Excellent and varied menu selection! Nice ambiance! Rock bottom prices! The beautiful plants everywhere are a nice touch, too.

So far, the best burger in S.F. I've tried!

by porsche951 at Citysearch

I've tried the burgers at the other top places noted on this site, with the exception of the

one at Original Joe's. (I'll have to try that next time!) However, the burgers at Darla's

are GREAT! Grilled to order, (I like medium-rare), and it's always perfect. The service

is great, and they throw in a little brownie for you to sample! Kid friendly, and great for

lunch or take out! I've called in a few times and go to pick up and it's always ready to go

right on time. The portion is good (on the big side), and ingredients are fresh. The fries

are good, too. Overall, I think it is the best burger in town. The only one better, is the one I make at home, and that would win, -just barely! -Thanks Darla for a great burger!

The ambiance is nice, too!

  • Pros: Portion, Service, Ambiance
  • Cons: No Parking, Crowded Str. parking
