In the heart of downtown Redlands lies Darbys, a quaint establishment known for its diner-esque charm and vibrant ambiance. Despite its unassuming setting, Darbys never fails to surprise with its culinary offerings. A recent visit left me thoroughly impressed.. particularly by the 8oz steak served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, au jus sauce, and perfectly cooked asparagus. Not your typical steakhouse fare, the quality of the cut and its medium-rare preparation spoke volumes. Their attention to detail in plating, reminiscent of higher-end establishments..... At $28, there is GREAT value for such a satisfying meal. It's safe to say Darbys has earned a loyal patron. Here's to many more delightful experiences !! ( Cheers )

Best place in the Inland Empire to enjoy a cold one and any game you'd want to see. Staff are very nice and friendly and very easy on the eyes! Especially the big guy behind the bar! So hot! Love this place!

This place is probably the best bar ever

Margaritas are not very good...they consistently put orange juice in them and it makes them tart and sour. I tried a lemon drop martini and same...didn't taste like they even used Simple syrup. Other than that the food is great

Kitchen closes at 9PM. But they were kind enough to bring out some chips and salsa after that.

I ordered the shrimp tacos and I definitely do not recommend they were not good at all. My family however ordered some different items and they liked them. I'm willing to try it again just not Order those tacos. The place had a nice vibe though.

Had a delicious dinner with friends.The Mike and Larry incredible seared beef with poblano and mushroom sandwich was Great ??!
This place was surprisingly good. Came for lunch and ordered the sliders and fries. The sliders had a good amount of flavor and were not dried out which happens at a lot of places. The fries were seasoned perfectly with salt which is something most places get wrong too. I was impressed. I would have given this place 5 stars except I just can't forgive the fact that the servers had too much of an attitude from the moment we walked through the door. It was actually bordering on unwelcoming.

We stopped here after visiting University of Redlands and I'm glad we did! I ordered their Mazatlan Shrimp Tacos, which I asked for in a bowl with no tortilla. I was very happy with the result - instead of the typical "dump everything in a bowl", it was artfully served as a deconstructed taco. It was a nice surprise. We also ordered JJ's Cantina Rolls and Mozzarella Sticks, which were very good appetizers. Our waitress was friendly and accurate, and the food came out fast! I'd definitely recommend Darby's.

This place has become a staple of my visits to Redlands. On the corner of the historic State St in Downtown, this is a great place to visit. A bunch of big screen TVs, a central located bar with seating all the way around, amazing food, and dozens of beers untap, this is definitely a place worth visiting.Parking: Finding parking on State Street itself may be difficult, but off of Orange Street less than 3 minute walk away is a parking structure. There's almost always something in there.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to get in your way here. Well most of the bar is on high top tables, there are plenty of low tables as well.
Very nice environment and atmosphere that's typically searched for in bars/restaurants, but sadly very bad service. It's understood that bartenders are typically in a rush, but if you're a first timer on a slow day, the service is just not there. Was ignored multiple times over regulars, which is understandable but was never acknowledged thereafter. Would not recommend this place if you're trying to find a go-to spot.
