    Signage over the corner of the restaurant. Located at Jupiter & Lookout.

    I had seen someone suggest dining at Darren's American Grill on a local neighborhood site, so we decided to check it out. We came for an early dinner on Saturday night. It's a relaxed kind of place with a huge bar and even live entertainment sometimes. There was a sign when you entered that said seat yourself. We found a two top and sat ourselves down. A friendly older server came and welcomed us and took our drink order. She told us that live entertainment would be starting in about 40 minutes. A couple of diners that arrived a few minutes later moved tables from where they initially sat when they found out they'd be right in front of the entertainment. Hubby wanted chicken fried steak and I ordered chicken fried chicken, with the gravy on the side. We both wanted mashed potatoes and fried okra. The food was delivered quickly and it was very good! Part of my breading fell off the chicken so I took a bite of it without the chicken and it was quite salty. I didn't notice that when I ate it with the chicken. Everything had a great texture and it was served piping hot. I did notice that all the servers just pitched in when needed. We had things delivered and table check-in's by 3 different ladies. They were all very attentive and friendly. We asked for a to-go container that we could put our leftovers in. Plenty of food for another meal for both of us! A man started playing guitar and singing right as we were about to leave. We stayed for "Tequila Sunrise" , clapped when he finished and then left. Food was delicious, service was great and prices were fair. We'll definitely be back!

    A happy Darren's customer.

    I ate here years ago with co-workers. Today we met with an ex-coworker that remembered Darren's American. It was a good meeting with good conversation and good food. Walking in, there is nothing that stands out. The restaurant was clean, replete with a modest bar. They'll serve breakfast until 2 P.M. It was time to order. My spouse and friend ordered the meatloaf. The serving was large. The review was good. The sides needed a little seasoning. The chef must be careful seasoning -- a little salt and pepper perked up the sides. I ordered a short stack of beer-battered hotcakes. Unless you're a devout pancake fan, two will be enough, especially if you order anything else. The takeaway is this: From our experience, don't go there if you are short on time. It wasn't a long wait, but we did wait. The portions are good, and the meatloaf size was impressive. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. You'll appreciate the bill. The total was very fair for what was served. I give the restaurant a solid 4. I will return. If you crave dishes ala Americana, Darren's will fulfill your desire.

    This was the Meat Lovers omelette with hasbrown and toast.

    This place has the best meat lovers omelette and toast I have tasted in a long time, better than my moms!!!!

    Took grandson there to get a couple of rib-eyes and they were tough as nails. If they know their quality is poor why have it on the menu.

This unassuming restaurant tucked in a corner of nondescript row of stores has stood the test of time. My first review of the place was in 2013. Here it is 13 years later then it is still going strong. I went for lunch with the family on a snow day. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. No numbers, they just remember who you are. I always get combo number 1 and add sweet potato fries. The prices are great and not much more than McDonalds but the difference in value is significant. The burgers are not thick but this time I noticed the double burger (#2) is just a couple of bucks more than the the single patty in #1. Note to self for next time. Although the patty is thin, the flavors work. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. No ketchup, you add that yourself. The bun with sesame seeds always comes out piping hot. Sweet potato fries are crispy and not greasy. The combo comes with a drink for $10.99. That's a deal. I hope they stay in business another 13 years!

    This is a true hole in the wall in the best possible way. No frills, no hype, just really good…read moreburgers done right. The patties are juicy, the buns are toasted perfectly, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. You can tell they are not trying to be trendy. They are just focused on making a solid burger every single time. It is the kind of place you keep coming back to because it never disappoints. Quick, simple, and consistently good. If you care more about flavor than atmosphere, this is the spot.

    Went there for the first time on a Friday night around 7:00. The place was around 40% full…read more Atmosphere was cozy casual, great music that wasn't too loud, and clean. You order at the counter and then wait for your food to be brought to you. The girl who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. I got the Irish nacho but I substituted onion strings for the french fries and she happily made the substitution. The burger was pretty thick and nicely char grilled. I love a good char. It was very good. My only complaint was that I like mine a little less well done cuz it might have been a little overcharred and a tad dry for my liking, but I think that could be rectified by just ordering it medium next time. The bun is toasted which I love. It comes with ranch dressing which was definitely made in-house and delicious (and I'm a ranch snob). It had lots of melted cheddar cheese and onion strings on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband got the hatch green chili burger and he loved it tho he said his was a little overdone as well. The kids both got the classic burger which comes with two smash patties instead of the one thicker one and they said that theirs was good as well. I got the sweet potato waffle fries which were a little thinner than I'm used to but I actually preferred it that way cuz they weren't soggy and had a little crispiness to the edges. The drinks come in a plastic cup that you can take home with you which I love. So overall very good and pleasantly surprised first visit. Only complaints were that, again, the burgers were a little overcooked and I'll order medium next time and it was a little pricey... $70 for the four of us getting combos.

    Fast casual so mostly a lunch or takeout place for us. This is one of our go to spots when we don't…read morewant to cook and we are not sure what to eat.
