Darren's American Grill

Chicken fried chicken is what I had set my mind on. When we arrived, I ened up getting the catfish and added shrimp. The pieces of catfish were small so they ended up giving me 5 (it's the simple things in life that I love). It seemed like a simple cornmeal batter, which I grew up on and wanted. Not sure the spices they add to the batter but I WILL BE BACK TO ORDER MORE!! Staff was extremely friendly and the patrons all seemed to be regulars. My buddy got a burger and onion rings. Burger looked great and I can say the onion rings were absolutely great!

Hope you guys do awesome at Darren's!

Very good food, service was great, prices were good, no complaints. We had a huge party to seat last minute, so they put us in a private room. So nice!

Sat on the patio on a Saturday afternoon to watch the UT game. They switched the 1 TV out there to the game we wanted to watch. The food was decent. Had the prime rib, which had a very smoky flavor, and the chicken fried chicken, which was pounded thin and lifgtly breaded, more like a picatta than a chicken fried chicken. Unusual, but not bad.

The problem I did have was all the patrons and employees alike coming outside to smoke. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and it completely ruined my experience. 3 employees at a time came out to smoke with a patron and created a massive cloud. It was gross, even on the patio.

Waited 45+ minutes with a screaming hangry toddler for mediocre bar food. Service was horrible. No one checked on us nor explained the delay.

Howdy! Absolutely love this place. Has all the homey vibes ✨️ Foods soo daaaamn good. My favorite is the Hamburger steak with no onions of course. Whatever you do, don't sleep on those bacon wrapped Jalapeños. Omg they are amazing. Breakfast is offered til 2:30 on Sundays so brunch is a must ? and you can catch a football game on one of those 7 tvs. Outside seating is available with the nice weather coming up. Vip room also available. Call to check availability. Owner is super sweet and cares about Quality in his products. Give this joint a visit ?

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and booster seats available.

Undercooked eggs. Bad coffee. Rude owner. Owner chased us outside after paying. After reading all the 1 star reviews this makes sense the owner is a bully and apparently the cook so talking bad about the food is a no go.

It started out very good, mis communication ruined the experience. Only second visit. Owner accusation totally uncalled for. Not a happy camper. The owner should of apologized, but instead he sent the waitress over to say oops wrong table. He would not even take responsibility for being accusatory in the beginning which he clearly denies and wants to play it off as "i was only confirming your order" which is not correct, he said we were sharing and it was not allowed for the all you can eat catfish. Then to say "sorry i hurt your feelings" on the review. Owner needs serious people/communication skills. It makes me question the type of clientele he is accustom to. The positive on the other hand is that the waitresses are very polite and the food is good.
