The beef patty had a good sear but wasn't real juicy. Apparently the side of the day changes and today was watermelon which I thought was weird. It wasn't as bad as I thought because, despite everything being served together, the burger and the watermelon remained fairly separated.

Next time I'm trying the fried chicken sandwich.

Then moved to the northwest side and there's practically none--unless it's a Starbucks--so it's nice to see an independent shop in a cute little downtown. The chai wasn't bad, service was friendly, and the shop was cute and clean. There were lots of folks hanging out inside and at their nice outdoor space as well. They have several different types of seating, from big comfy chairs to tables big and small, and there are some counter-height seats by the window as well. The area is street parking only, but there's lots of it.

We discovered something new this time: when I was asking the waitress the difference between them "Diablo" plates and the skillets, she said "Diablo Sauce". So, I got a veggie skillet with Diablo Sauce and I gotta tell you that this sauce is FANTASTIC! It is NOT too hot! It's got some sweetness to it and tiny chunks of peppers and onions in it. It comes in a little dish of its own and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT if you like your breakfast with a little heat on it! We love this place!

We will definitely come again when we're in Barrington.

This shop has been around for 12 years and I came across it just recently. I was in the area…read morelooking for grabbing lunch and Dario's showed up on my search. Out of curiosity, I decided to check it out. Located across from the railroad tracks and near the Metra station, Dario's is a local institution that serves up tasty sandwiches and more. I liked their sandwiches options on the menu. The variety was good. I ordered their Fiesta Panini that's made with pulled pork, habañero aioli, muenster cheese, red peppers, red onions, and avocado. I wanted something to drink and I saw that they have homemade lemonade with cool, different flavors. I got me a small Guava Lemonade. My panini was freshly prepared. It had a good flavor w/ a nice kick of heat from the habañero aioli (but not spicy in the typical habañero flavor sense). The pulled pork was delicious in taste and texture along with the toppings of muenster cheese, the habañero aioli, red peppers, red onions, and avocado. I should've eaten only one half of the sandwich but I couldn't resist having more, so I finished it. The panini was darn delicious. I liked the restaurant's cozy dining area with outside light coming in. They have a nice patio area as well which would be perfect to sit at on a nice weather day. The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked Dario's a lot and will be going for more. Check them out.

The good about Dario's is the food. I was surprised and thought the sandwich and salad I had was…read morereally good! Haven't had a panini like that in a minute. However, my issue is that I went in with one other person and we ordered two paninis and two cans of sprite (one of each for each of us), with one salad bowl to share. It was $55 dollars after tax. Maybe it's me but it seems like a lot. The service isn't really a question here. It's not bad. They call your name, you grab your food, and bus your own table when you're done. Pretty standard. However, If they did that for you, the price wouldn't bother me as much because thats a proper service. To talk a bit about the restaurant itself, it's small with more space to eat outside than inside, but thats just lovely right now in the summer. The place looks clean too. They had complimentary coffee which was nice. The staff are reasonably young. Probably late high school or freshmen in college but that doesn't mean they can't do a good job. Overall, I don't know if I'd recommend this place to everyone. Im conflicted. I like big portions and quality foods of course, and this was great in flavor, just pricey. To reference the surrounding area, I can go here, or to Emits across the street which is consider the finest dining in downtown Palatine past the Argentinean Bendita and Bella Pizza, and spend around the same amount of money. Still the best panini I've had in a while though.

The only problem is that they don't always have it, and that's a shame as I think if word got around d about how awesome it is, they would get more orders. It's hit and miss when they have it, so if you're craving a hood turkey burger, call ahead to make sure they have it. As for me, their burgers are not to be missed. They are plenty juicy and flavorful. The fries (at least the first time I had them) were both crispy outside and fluffy potato inside. Today, however, they were soft and limp. I ordered the cheese for dipping and it was watery and flavorless. Such a bummer. I also had their buffalo chicken ranch sandwich. It was lifeless. The chicken was rubbery, and the bacon tasteless. It was a waste of bacon (and I don't say that lightly). My wife had the chicken parm sandwich and again, the chicken was rubbery. Maybe we should have stuck with burgers? Alas, she could not ad they didn't have the turkey burgers. I say stick with their burgers and maybe ask for the fries well done.
