Darla's Restaurant

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

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.

Loved their soup and french fries

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

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

Delicious

As always, I'll disclose that I know no one who works at this restaurant, but I do live in the neighborhood. While I won't necessarily say that a fabulous burger is worth a trip across town to ANY neighborhood, if you're anywhere nearby, even Haight Street, I'd recommend Darla's burgers highly. The meat itself is superb, with sourdough buns, and the shoestring fries are excellent, too. They even have "kids eat free" specials. I also am partial to patronizing independent places like this. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did.

Not the best burger...

by flacco at Citysearch

Not the best burger, but pretty damn good. I especially like the portobello mushroom burger. The place tries to be cool with its lower lighting and colors, but it kind of clashes with it's skater boy host and server. The service took a little bit long even thought the place was not quite full. Also, the place ran out of salad dressing that they usually have.

Go for the Fries!

by sgallagher77 at Citysearch

I always felt bad for Darla's, since I had never seen them busy, at the most 3 tables full, so I decided to stop in one night. The burgers were decent, the salad that came with was fair, but the fries were phenominal! crisp, buttery fries, with just enough salt. Definitely worth it for the fries alone.

• Pros: Friendly, Fries!, usually empty
• Cons: parking
