    Came for lunch given the reputation. We were not disappointed. The burgers were delicious and huge. The fries are definitely unique and very crispy. The creamsicle milkshake was a huge hit. And they have paper straws!! Which was awesome to see.

    Great find! Amazing for families and some of the best burgers we have ever had. Travelled in from Ontario with the family and found Darrell's. Kids loved it. Our waitress was so nice to us and especially to the kids. Would highly recommend the peanut butter burger and the hen 'den burger. Great food at a great price! Will definitely be back on our next trip through Halifax.

    Grabbed dinner here with friends before a show at Dal Arts Centre. Delicious! Awesome fries and the famous PB burger, dressed to your liking- the service was spot on- attentive and funny but not imposing. Great value for money. Havenโ€™t been here for years but will make a point of going back soon!

    There is no argument here as to why Darrells has been voted best burger. It was juicy but not greasy and just full of flavor. Definitely be adding it to my Halifax go to restaurants.

    I absolutely devoured my chicken pita and my friend did the same with his blt burger. Great portion and lots of fries as well. It was so good I forgot to take a picture of the dish all I was thinking about was eating it. Regularly priced wouldnโ€™t call it cheap but itโ€™s not too much.

    The burgers are incredible. The Swiss & Mushroom burger is what you always hope for but never get at other restaurants. The Peanut Butter burger lives up to its reputation. Poutine is also a show stopper. Just go already. (I got so excited for lunch today I forgot to take a photo - second time this has happened there. ) Update October 2022 Finally remembered to take a photo (after I added ketchup... .) It tastes as good as it looks. The mushroom burger and the pepper burgers are also delicious.

    Went to Darrell's for the first time in more than a dozen years since moving away from Nova Scotia. Ordered my former standard, a strawberry milkshake and pb burger. We watched as the tables next to us who were seated 15+ minutes after we had arrived were delivered strawberry milkshakes but mine didn't appear. Our burgers were delivered, we inquired about the milkshake and were told the kitchen was backlogged. By the time we finished our burgers no milkshake had appeared but another table which had been seated 25+ minutes after us had received a strawberry milkshake. There were no check-ins by any waiter after our food was delivered so my friend couldn't request the additional items she had wanted to order, including a milkshake. I was kindly given a small discount, but would have preferred a milkshake with my burger as I ordered. The burger was as good as I remembered it to be, the service was not.

    Went in for the burger week burger! It was delicious! The peanut butter was crunchy and melted perfectly, the bacon was the perfect combo of crunch and chewy and the burger was absolutely juicy and delicious. Also highly recommended the milkshakes, there wasn't one table I could see that didn't have one!

    My expectations were high coming into Darrell's and they did not disappoint. The peanut butter burgers were delicious, the Darrell's fries were fresh and hot and crispy, and we had 2 milkshakes (chai and vanilla) and both were great! Definitely coming back.

    Amazing restaurant with an incredible staff. Everyone working here was so friendly and professional. The food was absolutely phenomenal! We ordered the peanut butter burgers and shakes (I would recommend the vanilla over the chocolate, but both flavours are amazing!) The burger was deliciously well cooked and the peanut butter gave it an amazing twist. Definitely recommend!

    I had Darrell's Old Fashioned Chocolate milk shake, it's really amazing. Also ordered fries, it was nicely fried crispy. Will definitely try burger next time.

  • 4/5 Sachit J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great portions! The restaurant had friendly staff and a variety of burger options. I got the peanut butter and swiss cheese burgers, and they both didn't live up to the hype. The beef patties could have used more seasonings. I also ordered orea shake and peanut butter chocolate shake, which were again slightly above average. However the fries were crispy and had zero oil, and had good portions of fries and shakes.

    Quiet little diner in Halifax. Portions are amazing and staff is friendly. I didn't get the waitresses name but she was fantastic drinks were always topped up and was knowledgeable about the menu. There was even a pair of older ladies that came in and chatted with the waitresses, I would have guessed it was their grandmothers that's how close they were and that speaks numbers! Overall great experience, this will be my dining spot from now on for my trips to Halifax.

    Always have a good meal here with my family. Is a student area but the atmosphere is still generally good and never have left annoyed. On today's visit I had an issue with my meal but server #000009 was very courteous and professional and resolved it with satisfaction. Would recommend (often do) and go back.

    A very friendly and attentive staff. It's busy restaurant you might have to wait to get table. The have many Gluten Free options. The restaurant has a ramp for accessible entrance. The food was good, I had their house fries tasted great whereas their pita bread roll was good enough.

    We were seated quickly and our server was friendly, cheerful and efficient. My wife had what she described as the single best milkshake she's had in her life. Burgers were delicious and the poutine and fried pickles were amazing. Was recommended by a local and certainly lived up to the hype. A definite must when in Halifax.

    Place has such a great vibe. Place was full, people kept coming but table turnover time was decent. Food is great! Had 2 of their best sellers, peanut butter burger and the pita with turkey. Pita was awesome! The turkey is actual turkey! Serving is big! Had to take home my half. ๐Ÿ˜… milkshake was bomb!!! Had the chocolate one. Definitely coming back to try other options.

    Tried award winning Burger. Bun wasnโ€™t cooked felt like came out of packet was soggy. Burger patties had no taste at all! Can definitely tell they did patties in microwave as nothing felt fresh. We took 2 burgers onion rings and coke total was around 65$. Onion rings were almost soaking in oil. Felt robbed after eating here!

    I've been to Darrell's many times. The food and service are always fantastic! I ordered the piggy back burger and Darrell fries. My husband had Darrell's sampler. The burger was delicious. You absolutely have to get Darrell's fries. They are Soo flavourful and crispy!

    First time eating there over the weekend. Was there with family as my sister in law has taken us there. She recommended the peanut butter burger. It sounded weird at first but she said try it you'll love it. So I got it and the next time I'm in the city (Halifax) I'll be stopping in again. The burger was great. I'd recommend that if it's your first time eating there get the burger. If you're a big eater like me get the double. One patty for me wasn't enough with the wedges.

    After living away for a few years, when I finally moved back, a darrell's peanut butter burger was an absolute must. It did not disappoint. Burger was absolutely delicious, Wedges were fantastic and crispy all around fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

๐Ÿซค Overall experience was not pleasant. This was recommended by my friend, so we thought to give it a try. Bartenders was fantastic, very professional and helpful all around, however, the waitress on the other side was completely different. Not only she forget to check on our table for about 35 minutes...
