Julio was very personable and helped us throughout the evening. We ordered the Chicken Milanese and the Tagliatelle with truffle and burrata. Both were delicious.

I have enjoyed meals here at least 6 times over the past 4 months and have been impressed each time. I have come alone and felt comfortable , dined with a friend and come with a group and the service has always been excellent. Every meal has been prepared well, with a great taste and a generous serving at reasonable prices. Their salads are fresh, dressed nicely without dominating and attractively served. Their sole franchise, chicken franchise and chicken Marsala are all very good. My friend ordered the branzino special over fresh vegetables and she loved it! ! I recently tried their chicken & farro soup special that was excellent! We ordered their homemade tiramisu dessert and it was excellent! Lots of great menu choices that will keep me coming back!

The casual atmosphere always makes us feel super comfortable whenever we're having a lazy day but crave a satisfying burger! All of the servers are also very attentive, with our food being ready fairly quickly. I definitely recommend trying this burger joint out whenever you are out and about in the local area.

A friend and I went here for dinner because we haven't eaten here in years. Ambience is simple but…read morenice, waitstaff is friendly and the food is just as excellent as it's always been. I started out with a veggie burger. I always get this burger with a side of avocado cream sauce because it's a game changer. This sauce tases amazing with the veggie patty. Randomly, they have a Japanese side dish of pickled vegetables (tsukemono) and they have a sharp, gingery flavor that I love. I also got their BLT Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which was equally delicious, although they could've put a little more ranch on it. I paired that with their onion rings which were crispy and satisfying. I dipped them in my leftover avocado sauce as well. This restaurant has been a staple of the community for a long time by consistently using high quality ingredients to make incredible food. It's good to know that they haven't changed after all this time. You'll love it here.

Consistent spot with a solid menu, just skip the rings lately…read more We've been coming to Bareburger at Darien Commons (right off exit 10 on I-95) for a while now, and it's easily become one of our reliable go-tos. Parking is always plentiful, which already takes the stress out of heading there. The vibe inside is cozy and casual with a spacious dining area and plenty of booths. Plus, they have a full bar and a vintage video game console that always makes a big kid like me happy while we wait. The manager and the staff here are consistently great--super welcoming and attentive every single time. When it comes to the food, we pretty much have our order down to a science: Four Smash Burger & Fries: You can't go wrong with this one. Paired with a side of French fries, it's a hit every time and you save a few bucks. The Southwestern Bowl: It comes with the all-natural grilled "wham bam" chicken, avocado, cauliflower rice, black beans, pickled red onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, greens, and tortilla chips, but we skip the jalapeño ranch. It's fresh, filling, and always hits the spot. They also have a really good vegan selection on the menu if you have dietary preferences. The only real downside lately has been the onion rings. We used to absolutely love them when they first opened, but the last few times we ordered them, they came out overcooked and rock-hard, so we've stopped adding them to our order. Stick to the fries instead. Bonus points for the outdoor dining area! It's great when the weather's right, especially if you have fur babies like us and want to bring them along. Definitely recommend checking this location out.

What happened to this place?…read more It started with a young hip, family friendly vibe with premium priced burgers and a lot of kid food. Tonight on a Thursday night, the place was understaffed... running late with a slew of phone and Uber orders... and seemed to be teaming with screaming children, whose parents were somewhat frustrated that their little ones were not getting their fries. The sun blazing in the western window which has no screen to protect people facing in that direction. Why? It's been this way since they opened and despite numerous requests, management has done nothing. Dinner for two with a burger and a wrap and two soft drinks and one order of fries came to $50 with tip. Sorry. Not worth it.

Then we got the sticky short ribs as another appetizer and then we shared family style the beef and broccoli, the pad Thai and the sesame chicken. Everything came out super fast for how busy the restaurant was but everything was absolutely delicious. The restaurant does get pretty loud if it's pretty busy, but nothing too crazy and they have a lot of tables for small parties and also large parties The restaurant is very clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms are very spacious as well

I only got a lunch special of ginger chicken with broccoli. The rice was perfectly cooked and chicken tender - good quality. Sauce actually had a perfectly strong flavor of ginger! The lady working there was so nice- even saw me coming back from the lot and ran out with my takeout bag. I don't return to many, if any, Chinese restaurants, but I will give this one a try for dining in since it is so nice inside!

In fact, the first time I had a bartender ask me if I prefer my gin martini shaken or stirred. Blew my mind because it's such an obvious thing - but since nobody ever asks - I just deal with shaken.. My wife had a tasty smoked old fashioned and we eased into the evening. The staff were all great. We got introduced to Abigail, Chrises (apparently there are three lol. Awesome) and a Connor. Abigail and Chris helped us pick out some great apps and suggested a Ribeye Filet to share. Great call, amazing cut and full of flavor. Darien needed this. Really. Great ambiance and better service.

The restaurant is near the train station and a lot of shopping areas, but always is quiet. Got the Roots special- slider, 1/2 lobster roll and French onion soup. Delicious and great value. Waiter provided great service- may have been a little too eager to please, but had good intentions. If you are in that neighborhood, by all means, head over there for a great meal!
