Great food, friendly family atmosphere, affordable prices. The BLT, sweet potato fries, and onion rings were fantastic!

This was my first time in Darrell's Diner, and it was an overall pleasant experience. There was nothing extraordinary about this place, but I got a solid meal that was tasty, and not too expensive. It had a classic diner atmosphere. However it was a bit sticky and dirty. Overall a decent place to have a quick meal.

I ordered a club sandwich with turkey on whole wheat bread with a side of fries. Interestingly, it costs extra to have both ham and turkey on the sandwich, which is unusual. However it was fairly priced so I can't complain. At least the hot sauce was free.

The sandwich had a nice presentation and was cut into 4 little triangles. All the ingredients tasted fresh and satisfying. The sandwich tasted homemade, not ultra-processed and rushed. Nothing super special, but overall a good sandwich. It was loaded with turkey, but there wasn't too much tomato, lettuce or bacon. However there was enough to be enjoyed. In my opinion, club sandwiches often have too much mayonnaise, but this one had a tasteful amount.

My side of French fries was disappointing. They were hot and soggy; not crispy at all. They weren't too generous with them either (probably a good thing). The fries were definitely the weakest part of this meal.

I would consider my time at Darrell's Diner a generally positive experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the ingredients for my sandwich. My expectations were met for a nice chill breakfast diner. I would return to Darrel's.

It's Darrell's, overpriced and slow service

Nice little breakfast spot I found while traveling in the area. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well organized. Food selections varied in a nice arrangement and easy to find what you're looking for. A few small shortcomings with the food quality but nothing to write home about. Overall a pleasant experience.

This Darrell's was an Aunt Fannie's several years ago and they brought forward some of the heritage meals served there. My favorite breakfast is fresh local raised fried catfish paired with grits and eggs over easy. It's not on the menu, and sometimes they may not have it, but you can ask for it. Three nice size filets. Amazing breakfast!!! Service staff is friendly and checks on you regularly.

It's been a few years since I've been to this place and it was great, so I decided to stop as I passed through town. This time the food was terrible. I got the special that day, which was mashed potatoes and corn with chopped beef with a coffee.
With the place about a third full it took 45 minutes to get the food, and then what was on the plate looked like a child's meal with a very small Patty about a quarter cup of corn maybe a little bit more of that than mashed potatoes, swimming in gravy and felt more like a meal you would get from the cafeteria at a hospital than a diner. I was very disappointed after paying the $20+ bill

Looking for somewhere to stop and eat in Ocala. This was the first one I noticed. Greeted before getting both feet through the door. Incredibly friendly staff. Food was great and all for a good price. The atmosphere was good, and it smelled great, just like the food they are cooking in the back. As for the political sign, I would only complain about it if the food and service was not good. Thankfully, there is not a complaint in this review. Excellent Job.
