Our favorite place in Pinetop - and it's everyone's favorite place! Worth the wait, if you have to wait! The food portions are large and always so tasty! Breakfast or Lunch you can't go wrong! It's a quaint place - and they move quickly to work through their wait list! We love the crunch French toast, pancakes, salads, breakfast burritos, crepes, spicy bloody Mary's & so much more! The food is just that good. You can't go wrong here! The service from the staff is top notch - they're attentive, and busy little bees! Other restaurants could take a few pointers on how this staff runs - you can tell they feel valued, appreciated, respected and loved by Darbi's but also all of the customers! read more

Been coming to Darbi's since they opened. My In laws live in Pinetop and we stop by every time we are in town, sometimes more than once. Food is delicious, and service is wonderful. This morning my husband and I stopped in for breakfast. I had the breakfast tacos which were fresh and delicious and he got the prime rib Benedict which he said was fantastic and of course we had to split an order of their sausage links, an absolute must, they are so delicious and cooked perfectly. They also have delicious desserts to go which we would have ordered had we not been hitting the road. I highly recommend all their pies but the triple berry is my favorite. Already looking forward to our next trip into town so we can eat here again. read more

Delicious food and quick friendly service! At first it seemed as if we were going to have a long wait due to being a Saturday morning but we did not wait more than 30 minutes. First timer and definitely will not be my last. Definitely worth waiting for! read more

Good food & friendly service over at Darbi's! The portion sizes are out of this world. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast burrito & split the cinnamon roll with the family. We waited about 45 mins for a table on a Sunday morning. They also sell merch which I thought was really cool! read more

We were in Pine Top for Fall break and everyone loves this place so we decided to come by for some dessert after a hike. It was about 12p and there was a line out the door. I asked a few people in line if the food was that good and everyone raved about it. Seems like good food in large portions. Even with a long line the staff were friendly and helpful. Would have been a 30-40 min wait so we decided to get some pie and desserts to go. We got some peanut butter crème pie, cherry crème pie, lemon bar, peach cobbler, 7 layer bar their famous cinnamon roll with walnuts. Our favorite was the cinnamon roll, it was huge and the frosting was sweet but not too sweet. The walnuts added good texture as well. Took us about two days to finish it. The next highlight were the crème pie. My wife loved the peanut butter one and my kids liked the cherry. The bars and cobbler were good, but didn't knock our socks off. Next time we're in town we'll try to get up early and get here before the crowds. read more

The wait time was minimal even when they were extremely busy. The staff were very kind and respectful. The food portions were good for the price. The food was so delicious that we forgot to take pictures until half way through eating! I would go again for sure! read more

If you enjoy great food and friendly service, Darbi's is the place to go! Their Breakfast is very good. For lunch we usually get a burger with onion rings. The burgers are huge and they are absolutely delicious!! The onion rings might be the best anywhere and the fries are great as well. Highly Recommend you give Darbi's a try! They do close at 2pm. read more

Good food! Really delicious! Lots of menu choices. We've been here several times and have tried many different plates of amazingness - never disappointed. The servers are super friendly and checked in with us a lot. Be sure to check the dessert case and bring something home for later! read more

This appears to be a small place. Great size. Great staff. Great options and wonderful flavors. The pancake stack that came out was huge and layered with fruit not just topped. The southern Benedict was spicy and the chipotle flavor was mild. They also have a great outdoor seating dining area. Will be back for sure. read more

First, here is an overview. This is the quintessential breakfast diner in town. The food is great, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is nice. My food was a mixed bag, I didn't love my hashbrowns but my sausage was the best sausage I've ever had. The service is really great, there's always a line out the door but they seat you fast and don't forget about you. The ambiance is quaint, it's no five star restaurant - you'll feel at home. It's nice but dated. Now onto the full review. The ambiance - it's fine. Look I get it, it's a diner that's been around a long time, it gets the job done. It's a bit like Grandma's house, you don't even need to wear jeans if you don't want to (please wear some pants though). My big complaint is actually that the ceilings are really low - family actually had to duck in places to not bang there head. Otherwise, it's perfectly fine and clean. The service - the best you'll find in a breakfast place id wager. Every single breakfast place in Phoenix has an hour long wait for some reason with the same amount of people as Darbi's has on any given day. Meanwhile, Darbi's is quick as hell. If you aren't ready, you're missed - good! Sick of waiting around for the whole morning to get breakfast. They get you in fast and your server is ready to go right away. I only had slow service once on just my coffee because the dishwasher was full, I had to wait a whopping 5 mins longer ughhh (that's sarcasm if you hadn't guessed)!! Overall, excellent, no mistakes and good service, you might even get your coffee from the owner herself! The food - good but could be improved. I like crispy hash browns and I did not get them. That's preferential but I usually get that at other restaurants. The sausage I had was easily the best I've ever had anywhere, perfect skin, a nice crack on the bite and great texture for taste. My pancakes were doughy enough but still plenty firm. The syrup was excellent. I also got scrambled eggs and they were over done but pretty much everywhere I go for breakfast is the same. I was plenty happy with my food though. If you are in Show Low and want breakfast, don't bother else where. This is the home town feel with the right stuff and a better breakfast than most places I've been. read more

Great food and the server was attentive! Quick service a the view was wonderful to see pine trees!

After checking all the reviews of this place I had to try it and let me tell you it was Amazinggg!! The food was delicious We stopped by a very busy Wednesday morning. We had to wait around 10 minutes to be seated but it was well worth it. I ordered the pancake with chocolate chip and bacon and three cups of coffee. Everything was to die for. The girls were very busy but they kept the service great! I loved the place I just wished I had the time to visit more times! I will defined come back when I'm in Pinetop again. read more

I absolutely loved this little cafe and wish I could have gone more than once while I was there! I ended up picking an omelette at random and wished just a bit I had ordered the sweet cream waffle. However I was NOT disappointed with my omelette and I couldn't finish it, it was just that filling! The hash browns were perfectly cooked the way I liked them, lightly cooked and crispy! The ham in the omelette wasn't dried out and didn't lack any flavor. Not pictured here were the BEST biscuits I've had on the west coast! They were sooooo fluffy and light but massive in size! The sausage gravy had chunks of sausage and was mildly flavored which melted into the biscuits. The interior is super cute and log cabin like that it's really cozy. They do have patio enclosed dining to choose from. The waitresses were super friendly and attentive. I wish I didn't live so far away cause this would low key be a good go to place for breakfast as it's delicious and affordable!! read more

After all my years visiting Pinetop I finally made it in to Darbi's. It's a shame I waited so long. 5 stars across the board. The employees are at the top of the list with the best friendly service anyone could ask for. Food was plentiful and exceptional. I will definitely be returning soon to try other menu items. read more

The place wasn't exactly clean. When I see a dirty front door I'll I usually expect the worse. I should have known better than to.order fish.. sorry but it was awful. My husband ordered Philly cheese steak, equally unedible. There were lots of people in the restaurant, so I don't think their hurting for customers. It's just so hard to find a restaurant that has cooks who really care what their putting out there. Not anyone's fault. Hard to find good help. read more

Darbi's was recommend to us by a friend, so we decided to try it out for breakfast before heading home from Pinetop - we weren't disappointed! No wait on a Monday morning before 10am. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. Food was plentiful and really tasty - large portions for the price. If you're in Pinetop, definitely have a meal or two at Darbi's Cafe! read more

Excellent service and the food is delicious. Come here if you want a cozy dining experience and large portions. This cafe is the best bang for your buck. I enjoyed the son of a biscuit, it had so much protein and really hit the spot. If I could have a do over, I would get the strawberry pancakes they were so light and fluffy and did not have an overwhelming sweetness. This cafe has cute souvenirs so if you want a nice keepsake that is more than enough of a reason to drop by. read more

Food great, good service and very clean and friendly. Will go back soon for breakfast.

Great food & service! Lots of choices to choose from. One of our favorite places for breakfast.

We love it here. Walked out with the $8.99 cinnamon roll which was the best thing to touch my lips since I've been born. Ya gotta get one!

As one of the many people who travel with their well behaved dogs I hope to encourage Darbi's to rethink their "no dogs" policy on their patio. We are willing to spend a lot of money on a wonderful breakfast or lunch and as they have the best menu anywhere around we are sad to be excluded from enjoying. I hope other pet owners will also encourage them to change their minds on this policy. Show Low is getting most of our dining business as a result. read more

Darbys is one of our favorite restaurants when we're up in Showlow/Pinetop. They always have consistent quality of food. My husband and our two boys love the burgers. Sometimes they even get them for breakfast! Everything I've had on the menu is pretty good. Our favs are like the green chili biscuits and gravy, crêpes and of course The burgers. read more
