After hearing from several people that we "had to check out Darrell's," we finally decided to hit…read moreit up for lunch. We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

In the nicest way they let us know the pizza would be about 20 minutes, so we found a table and got our drinks. The dining area is understated, with wood flooring and tables framed with black metal. The cake cases give you plenty to consider taking home with you after your meal. The pizza was worth the wait: it was boxed hot from the oven. The crust was tender, and slightly chewy texture, with a light and airy quality, and crisp around the edges. The cheese and pepperonis were tasty and not too greasy. We brought home a chocolate cake from the case, with a couple of traditional cannoli. With the kindness shown here and the quality foods, we will be back.

My husband and I recently visited Coffee 30 hoping for a relaxing meal with good coffee. The atmosphere was inviting, and the waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive. We were seated fairly quickly, which gave me hope for a smooth dining experience. Unfortunately, the wait for food was ridiculously long--an hour and a half. For a coffee shop, that kind of delay is unacceptable, especially when you're expecting a casual, efficient meal. While the drinks and food were decent, the extended wait overshadowed the entire experience. If they can improve their kitchen efficiency, this place has potential. But as it stands, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have plenty of time to spare. read more
