Darby's American Cantina

On my last visit here the security guard asked my age almost apologetically before allowing me entrance, saying he had to ask. He did not seek any written proof of age afterward, probably because my white hair was ample confirmation of adult status. I would have been flattered if the reason for the inquiry had been based on a suspicion that my physical appearance indicated that I might not be 21. But, alas that did not occur.Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was again a superb starter, with really plump and hot shrimps. And, Classic Chili with Kidney Beans was also hot and excellent. Then I moved on to an Ancho Pulled Pork Sandwich wtih Onion Rings that were good and crunchy but varied widely in size. And I only detected a slight barbecue flavor in the pulled pork. Meanwhile, Diane again enjoyed her Orange Street Fish & Chips with French Fries. We received fine service amid a festive atmosphere of happy cantina goers mostly in their 20s. Demographically we looked out of place, but didn't really care. Most important to us here as elsewhere are the quality and variety of food served. And we both really like tavern food done right.

Duuuuuuuude *facepalm* ***Disappointment ***Inconsistency The only word that continues to come up is so disappointed. And the catch is, last time we were here (Nov10) the burger was so fire. Let me start from the beginning. When we came back in November we ordered the pulled pork and a burger along with drinks and the Irish Nachos. The appetizer was fire, the burger was delicious, literally the patty melting in my mouth. The pulled pork sandwich on the other hand has to be sent back because it was too salty. I think their orange sauce had an error. Like they put salt instead of sugar when they were making it because it was that salty. Other than that everything was fine and I was gonna put 4 stars **** on my review. AMAZING service, great feel, and totally fun atmosphere. We came back this Friday. About a month apart from last time. Since the burgers were so good we thought that was the preferred pick. My husband got the chimi spicy burger and I got the darbinator, our pick from last time. Idk if their product distributor changed, or hasn't arrived and they went to their mystery meat and bread because we were sooooo surprised and NOT in a good way. Bread on BOTH burgers was stale and dry. It literally crumbled and we took a bite. The square meat patties weren't even seasoned. They felt like they had been frozen and microwaved. Let's just say my medium rare was fully cooked, and not on the stove. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the regular nachos we got this time were good, and service keeps being great. Two burgers gone to waste. We literally left all our food. We learned our lesson. Don't come here for dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks.

I'm on a new kick where I don't review a place until I've visited a few times. I typically come here for lunch and it's nice and quiet. However, I'm writing this review on a Friday during happy hour with a big game on. First things first, GREAT place to watch a game (without sound). So many TV's. Not a seat in the house where you can't see the game. Sound would be nice, but it's fine. Food: I've tried various appetizers and entrees. Everything has been fresh and delicious. No complaints whatsoever about food. Service isn't bad either. I would say it's above average considering it's a bar. Overall a fan of this place. I will continue to come back.

Calm refreshing establishment.Many tvs and a bar so you can watch your favorite sports.Ambiance was 10/10.Waiter was really kind her service was phenomenal.Didnt keep you waiting but also didn't visit too frequent apart from the service food was really goodamazing portions fulfilling portions

Fun place to grab a burger, meet up with friends, have a drink or two and watch a game or just hang out.

Great food. Excellent atmosphere. Unique options. Ofcourse since its in downtown Redlands it is a great place to stop with friends or family. The service was good. We were towards the back hidden away. Next time I would like to experience being in thick of restaurant.

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 )

This used to be a great food establishment. Our children request this place for their birthday celebration every year. I was sick most of the evening due to this food. Today my husband and I went for lunch. we ordered the Western ranch burger. The bacon was raw. They change the hamburger bun on it. It was literally dry and falling apart. It had no flavor. To top it off the quality and Meet has gone downhill. They change the french fries as well. They are thin and tasteless. I ordered the salted caramel bouzouki and it was tiny. They are charging the same amount of money for less food. Which is fine by me, but the quality of the food is trash. I will not be returning to this place. They lost my business for life.The waitress was very nice and friendly.

First time here and came in for lunch. As we came in we were greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us near the window. Kirsten was our waitress and gave us some great recommendations. My father had the pulled pork and I had the Larry's incredible beef. Both of the dishes were well portioned. Definitely worth the money. My sandwich was delicious, I had a side of onion ring they were cooked nicely. Kirsten was very attentive, and kept our drink full. I drink a lot so that is something that is important to me.

Food is always amazing. Kylie was our server and we couldn't ask for a better server! She was great! We love Darby's!
