Sad ... The wife and I enjoyed the food.
But, being understaffed is a deal breaker for me. Sure, being understaffed is not the restaurants fault, or is it? I believe a business, to stay in business, must make staffing a priority. If you're understaffed, especially in the restaurant business, you should at least have someone walking around filling drink refills and at least telling customers their understaffed. We arrived right when they opened, at 3. They weren't busy. All we seen was, us and another table of 6.
I mean, One hour, wait time, after ordering, to get our dinner...
Empty beverage glasses for 5-10 minutes. I, wanted to just leave after a half an hour. But, my wife is a pacifist.
It wasn't the waiters fault... He did an excellent job... for being by himself.
Sure, the food is good. But, you'll need to be a very patient person.
Pretty sure, we'll never go back. I'm not that patient, to take the chance.

How on god’s earth is this crap-food factory rated 4.3 stars? Literally the WORST attempt at a meal I’ve ever had. Took 1 bite…done. Chicken Marsala? More like old shoe with mushrooms. My girlfriend got shrimp and at first remarked, “Only 5 shrimp?” She had one and said, “Five is way too many.”

Do you like tiny portions served at ridiculously high prices? Do you like your favorite dishes overcooked until they’re hard as shoe leather? Do you like servers that have better things to do than wait on you? If you answered “yes” to these questions, then Darrel’s is just the place for you! Seriously, how does a place this bad stay in business? Awful food, overcooked, overpriced. Went there for my first (and last) time tonight. Tried to take a bite of my chicken Marsala, hard as shoe leather, sent it back. My girlfriend at first complained that her stuffed shrimp only came with 5 shrimp…she said she had enough after just two. There was one good thing: they make a good manhattan. If you want anything other than a manhattan, AVOID.
Appetizers and salads were excellent. The Brussel Sprouts were amazing with the peanut butter sauce. Kids meals were really good and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I had the NY strip and it was cooked perfectly. However the quality of the meat was not what i expected. Same quality or maybe a little worse than like a Texas Roadhouse. I realize we weren’t at Ruth’s Chris but the steak was still $40. The JD peppercorn sauce saved it but just wish the quality of meat was better for the price. The wife got crab cakes and had the same feeling i did. She said it almost felt like there was fish added because it tasted bad. She used the word “scaley”. They were out of all the good beers and had basic stuff. Overall 7 out of 10. The chefs did an excellent job working with what they were provided with. Mid-rare cook was perfect on the steak. Caesar Salad was good too. Ahi Tuna was decent.

Chicken Shack beware. Just had Daryl’s Oven Roasted Chicken family dinner. Best seasoned chicken that I have had in many years. Mashed potatoes like my grandma made. Delicious chicken gravy. Homemade Cole slaw and house baked rolls. 8 pieces of juicy chicken. All for $35. We will reorder again very soon.

Ok y’all…this place has very affordable family style meals for carry out. Tonight after a stressful and unfinished day at work I stopped by to pick up an east coast chicken oven fried and GLUTEN FREE meal for like 33 bucks! Also enjoyed a couple drinks while waiting and having a nice chat with the owner’s wife. As I sit here…Al Bundy style with my hand down my pants feeling so good…I realized that meal was THAT good that I needed to jump through hoops to obtain my google password just to leave this review. I know good for and this meal tonight was crazy good! Darryl must’ve been happy back there in the kitchen tonight.

The restaurant is in a house type building. It's very charming inside I ordered the beef tips with perogies. Loved it. Quite a few good meals on the menu. Place was clean staff was friendly. Sat down right away went on a Friday evening plenty of parking. I love we could talk with everyone at the table and you could hear them. Quite atmosphere

We enjoyed our visit. I don't mind paying up for food provided it's outstanding. Our food was delicious but not outstanding.

Five star all day long! One of the managers served me calamari and a large Bells and it was perfect. Go here first instead of some chain restaurant, this place has style and quality.

Considering it's called steak and seafood, I would think that they would know how to prepare a new york strip and be able to serve it with the shrimp scampi. Instead, I had a clear medium well done steak instead of medium rare, which is what I ordered and my shrimp came out at least ten minutes late than the steak and potato. For that price point, I expected better. I'm so sorry, but I think I will stick to Texas Roadhouse in the future. The server didn't even offer to make it right, and he clearly lied when I asked him if it looked like a medium rare steak.
