Reviews For Darlings

First off I was stunned with the whole atmosphere is colorful and charming. The music was tasteful. I need to be seated in the 70’s couches I tried and almost melted in all the comfort. I was greeted nicely with water and a menu. The appetizers are crowd pleasers; hands down the best fried green tables I had personally. The hush puppies were approved by my friend that is from Georgia. The food is seasoned to perfection no complaints. Mocktails are tasty. I definitely need to plan my next trip to try the outside seating. My only concern is I wish dessert menu had different options.

Came here for the first time on a dinner date. Was seated on the front porch. Service was attentive and efficient. Food was excellent. For apps we got the Pimento Cheese and also the Rocket Shrimp. Those were an excellent pairing. For dinner I got Catch of the Week which was Halibut and absolutely delicious. I need to come back and get drinks inside bc inside is a VIBE.

Shelly and I stopped there during our drive. We sat at the bar and ordered some wings and a drink. The atmosphere was very cozy , service was spot on and our appetizer of wings were delicious. Probably some of the best wings I have encountered. Our bartender was one of the owners but I forgot his name. Very personable and attentive. We will definitely be back.

When I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, I had no idea they served brunch from 12:00 to 2:00! Chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, I got the egg and cheese sandwich with housemade sausage and hash browns. The sausage is amazing!!! We sat at the bar. The music and the atmosphere is so relaxing! Great way to start the day

The vibes are strong!!! Darlings is a unique spot with really fun decor and style. They have a variety of seating across the two interior areas (restaurant and bar) as well as outdoor seating. We came for lunch, but I’d love to come back for a cocktail. The deviled eggs were fabulous. My veggie burger was good, though a little on the oily side. I liked that it was house made. My husband raved about his burger. The seasoned fries were 10/10. Their menu is fun and eclectic with great vegetarian options available. Looking forward to coming back!

Awesome backyard space for the nice weather. The food was really good, the blackened catfish was perfectly cooked and well flavored, I could always use a little extra heat. I had a bite of my friends vegetarian mushroom burger and fries which was fresh and so flavorful, juicy and shocked me how good it was. Worth trying even if you're not vegetarian.

Darlings is the real deal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and full of heart, everything I tried was a standout. Great drink menu too, with craft cocktails and a solid mix of natural wines and local drafts. I was also excited to learn they host events and weddings. As someone in the industry, I’m always on the lookout for spaces that feel special but relaxed and this one checks all the boxes. The garden space is beautiful, and the whole setting has that perfect balance of charm and ease. Definitely one to keep on your radar for dinner, drinks, or a celebration.
