Dari-Villa Restaurant

A nice little find on a busy street. Basic mom and Pop diner food. Breakfast all day. Burgers, sandwiches and milkshakes. Counter service or booth service ( booths are rather tight to fit in ) tables are available.Menu selection is decent.I ordered the Reuben sandwich with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut, and it was excellent just the right amount of thousand island dressing, the corn beef was sliced thin, very tender . The sandwich came with a side of "lunch counter fries" which were hot and tasty . Iced tea was good. Prices were a little high for a diner, but whatnot high in this economy.I was disappointed to see that they do not use Heinz ketchup here in Pittsburgh.My bill was $20.00 with tax and tip.Very friendly waitress, I will return.

We went in on a Sunday morning for the first time. It was buzzing with people in their Steelers gear talking about the game. It's authentic to the diner layout and feel with booths lining the wall and an open kitchen with small bar looking into the kitchen. Food was nothing special. If you're looking for down home food made from scratch this isn't it. The potatoes appeared to be real and cut in house instead of something frozen. It filled us up and made us bloated. We aren't complaining by any means, I felt like I had an idea of what we were ordering when we went into the place. It's a great spot for a quick breakfast if you're in the neighborhood and don't feel like cooking yourself. Service was quick, our waitress kept the coffee hot and checked on us appropriately. We'll definitely be back.

one of my favorite eateries... one of my favorite old school burghers, made on the flat top with toasted bun and crispy ends ... burgers the way I remembered them not that fast food garbage. The breakfast is excellent also!

Old school diner, breakfast/lunch only, restaurant with home-made fresh prepared, right in front of you food! I'm from the south (atlanta) and this reminded me of my childhood diners. Bonus points, SWEET TEA! It was all delicious. I was full and still couldn't stop eating. They have HUGE cinnamon buns that I'd recommend for dessert. I took mine to-go but you can ask for ice cream with it for in-house dining. The server even gave me instructions on how to heat the bun up when I was ready for it so I didn't ruin it (45 seconds) and it worked perfectly. They even have home-made milk shakes (next time!). I will definitely be going back there!

Best diner in Bellevue/ Avalon. The service is quick and friendly, the atmosphere is old school diner, and the food is fresh and what you'd expect from your local diner. Today I had the dari-vila burger. It was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

We ended up here because Joe's Rusty Nail across the street was packed for Sunday breakfast. We were very pleasantly surprised. Dari-Villa is sparkling clean, and is like a step back in time. We both ordered omlettes, toast, hash browns and coffee. Our server seemed new so we had to ask for coffee refills otherwise I'd say a strong 5/5. They had cinnamon rolls a la mode which I regret we didn't try.

I want to give more stars for the locality and nostalgia factors. But the food is a bit yuck.

Stopped in for lunch today. They were still serving breakfast but I was in the mood for a salad. I got the grilled chicken which came with fries and provolone on a bed of iceburg lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced onions and tomatoes. The ranch dressing was THE BOMB! It was completely homemade and the perfect consistency: runny but not watery. It was only $9 and a generous portion (was too hungry and forgot to take a pic). My friend had an omelette and it looked so good so I'll definitely be back to try one!

Note #1: CASH ONLY. However, they do have an ATM inside and will give you $1 off your meal if you use it. Note #2: They have a Facebook page...https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dari-Villa-Restaurant/149962818358775#!/pages/Dari-Villa-Restaurant/149962818358775?sk=infoFor 34 years, this old-fashioned diner has stood in Bellevue, the home of comics artist Ron Frenz, the man who designed Spider-Man's black costume...http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=fullsize&issue=77906321824%20252Betcha didn't know that. Geekiness aside, I had no idea this joint existed until I used some Google-fu in the hopes of finding some brunch this beautiful fall morn.And find good, good grub we did. When you walk in, you'll find that time is motionless here. Stools that resemble upright dumbbells line a counter over which cooks labor lovingly over a steaming, sizzling griddle. Weathered booths have coat hangers sticking out from behind them. The help are all middle-aged and beyond. You feel as if you've known them for most of your life even though you've never seen them before. We arrived shortly after 11AM, and because of this, I almost ordered breakfast, but my readers know that I can't resist a burger challenge when I come across one. Along comes the D-V Burger, a behemoth with the combined DNA of 5 McDonald's Big Macs and 10 Eat 'N Park Superburgers. It is triple-deckered and quadruple the flavor and texture of any fast food burger. Veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, and coins of dill pickle) and a "secret sauce" inhabit the first floor. Bread and smashed, blackened, flattop patties of protein rule the rest of this tower. The bun's brown crust is a throwback; its cushiony freshness an inspiration as the dressing remains an exquisite mystery. Upon first gaze, the burger itself was already catapulted into my Hall Of Fame. 20 minutes later, the burger was in my stomach, its soul rising to Diner Valhalla.The side order of fries were commendably, flawlessly golden and crisp. The form of my dessert destructor came from a waffle iron. Enter: The Waffle Supreme. Massive, brown, fluffy, imposing to behold, and resembling the topographical image of a circular labyrinth, the waffle is topped with golden vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. Having it for breakfast would be oh so inappropriate yet oh so delectably decadent. With two monsters slain, I paid my tab, tipped our waitress well, and headed back to Brookline with Kay behind the wheel. Today was a great Sunday to die.P.S. Kay's corned beef hash was nice 'n crispy. Her biscuits and gravy were homemade heaven.

Everything is really good. Homestyle foods, fast and wonderful every time! Super sandwiches, both hot and cold, are generous and perfect. Soups are excellent! We just love this informal, super comfortable spot! The cook is exceptional!
