The chicken bacon cheddar was very good. The pot pie soup was also very good. Very friendly staff and the decorations were very good. We have been looking for a little place like this for awhile
Good standard deli sandwiches
Loved it. Polite and cheery greeting. The order was given. Arrived a few minutes later, all freshly prepared. Excellent service and quality. Have been back again today. Same high standard of service. All good portions. Most of the food was either large or small, some were only one size portions. Lovely area outside with seating and sun shades/ umbrellas.
Visited here for a work related meeting, was a great environment to relax and talk. Afterwards I got a chicken bacon ranch panini and it was DELICIOUS. I will definitely be back for another and to try the other delicious sounding menu items.
First time trying this place out. Heard really good things. First impression was a very clean place. Greeted right when i walked in, super friendly worker, she gave me multiple suggestions on different subs and paninis. I went with a philly cheesesteak panini. Made fresh to order, i did get my food to go. It was delicious. Very good taste to the panini. I want to go back to try more.
The food and dinning in is great. Don't judge from outside. Food is made fresh. I enjoy the turkey with avocado! ??
Amazing fresh to order subs... Boars head meats and cheese s are my favorite.
Very CLEAN! Tasty sandwiches at a FAIR price! Always fresh!
UPDATE: depending on who serves you the portions and order accuracy varies, today I ordered and got half the amount of meat I usually get when day shift prepared theres a heavy set younger girl that works late I had to ask for the potato salad I already paid for and I got NO PICKLE next time I see her NEVERMIND look at the pictures and compare portions....This is the freshest deli meat that you can get anywhere who is Jimmy John?what is Subway? what is Potbelly's?... when you got DARLA'S?!! THEY PILED THE M
The house speciality and chicken Cesar wrap were delicious
One breakfast sandwich choice. No decaf, no milk or cream for coffee, Coffeemate only. No hot black tea. The breakfast sandwich was good and made with care. We sat outside where it was sunny and warmer. Noisy AC in outdoor seating area and idling semi trucks.
Fast service. Clean kitchen and dining room. Decorated nicely for the holidays.
The sub bread is way to think and soft taste like a sandwich on a large soft hotdog bun ? who wants a sandwich sub on a soft large soggy hotdog bun . No thanks 1st and last time . Cashier was sweet sandwich maker no social skill basically just threw the bag over to us .
Very good food and clean place
Sandwich was delicious. Has video poker machines. Friendly staff.
Best wrap ever! Will definitely come back again. Great service
Love every sandwich they make! Bring back bingo pretty please!
Everything was awesome! I love Boars Head meat. Thank you so much for using it in your restaurants. I hope you open a restaurant in or very close to New Lenox. I can't wait to try the Tinley Park Darla's. Here's a picture of my sandwich I had.
Had the worse experience here the other afternoon and was totally surprised that it had gotten this bad! Have been here many times before with good experiences no issues but the young girl there should not have been by herself - she didn't know what to do at all from taking the order to using the register correctly! The New Mgmt should make sure they have the right person for the right job - it is a very chaotic atmosphere with this person in charge !?
Went to Darla's (a deli come no-frills dining place) on a Friday night. Only two people dining, and they soon left. You have to order your food at the counter then it is brought to you in the dining area. The food was good and the prices reasonable. Worth a visit if you are dining in a rush but not the kind of place to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.
Took an hour for sandwiches when it was fairly slow at ~3pm. The staff seemed super unaware that people were just waiting for mostly cold sandwiches and didn't update us. I'm not sure what they were doing back in the kitchen?sandwiches were good
Deli sandwiches are phenomenal. Toasted garlic roast beef, reubens, pastrami and so much more.
I was pleasantly surprised to find while traveling such a quaint gem. The restaurant was well lighted, clean and had an easy to read menu. My experience was peaceful and refreshing. I enjoyed a delicious regular turkey sub.
Was in last week and had such a lovely experience with staff and the food. I'd decided to check the place out after wanting to avoid every fast food staple in town and was very impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a very welcoming staff and when I couldn't figure out what I wanted, the girls on staff made several recommendations! I ended up going with the beef sandwich and it was SO DELICIOUS. I left a review on their Facebook page and felt obligated to leave one here. If you have the ch
Not even joking some of the best sandwiches you can actually get. We usually order one or two more for the next day or for later on they use great meat great sandwiches I recommend this place completely dine in or carry out.
Wife and I stopped in? wife?s first time? food was delicious? weather was perfect to enjoy the outside dinning patio? employees were very friendly and very welcoming!!! Will be back!!!
This place is very unique and the food is really good. A deep fryer would be a nice addition so you could order french fries, but it would make the place greasy and smelly and ruin the exceptionally clean atmosphere. I would spend a lot more time here if I didn't have 2 young children. And if you go early, they sell Pearson's Bakery doughnuts!
Food is pretty consistently well prepared. Blt, and meatball are good choices
Over the past several years my family has utilized Darla's for several large gatherings. They provided sandwiches and platters, drinks, chips, and dessert as needed. And the prices were extremely fair. The dining room was perfect for those gatherings and we will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a small venue to host a small gathering.
All I have to say is... Absolutely delicious! We will never go to a subway jimmy johns place ever again. I wish I would have known about you guys alot sooner. Our family gives a 10 out of 10 We would definitely reccomend.
Very good Turkey my wife had the Italian sub and she said it was good ??went back today 1/28/2024 and this time I tried the Italian sub yummmm delicious
Great food in a welcoming environment. Outstanding pot roast sandwich!! Try it with a little horseradish on the side. Tried the chicken salad too-- very good. An unexpected gem that, so far, hasn't disappointed.
Sandwiches made with love and high quality breads. meats and cheeses, none of that cheap stuff from the chain sub shops. Your mouth wants you to eat here
Excellent place can't wait to go back the food is amazing and the lady that was there is so sweet and and very friendly she deserves a raise the she works back ther by herself. I hope that you have the potato bacon soup again??????????????
Darla's staff is top notch. They provide great service and Darla's is a great spot for events and get-togethers. It's clean, attractive, and the furniture is comfortable. Be aware that the temperature on the nongaming side is MUCH cooler, bring a jacket. The employees can't adjust the temperature as the owner has set the system to notify him if the temperature is adjusted, which is my reason for only giving 4 stars.
Go play a me slots here they have anotherv I'm you looking ke lunch there
This place was a mixed bag. The food and coffee were both good. It was awesome that they had Rock-em Sock-em robots; but for a place with video game cafe in the name, the only video games were pretty much slot types.
Had the pot roast sandwich. Beyond excellent. Tina is super! Stop in and get some great food. Tell Tina howdy!!!!
Totally awesome,, I was able to buy meat and cheese by the pound.... Very friendly...... And they have awesome sandwiches
Used their online menu to order food. Tried to get a sandwich lunch box and a salad lunch box. Told me they didn't have the salad lunch box. I ordered just the salad and then a sandwhich lunch box. They didnt ask for my name and hung up. I went in and got my food and they said the online menu was outdated which is why I couldn't get a salad lunch box. I left and got home and checked my food. The sandwhich was tiny and did not have the cookie or chips. The salad had blue cheese on it when the menu didn't
The sandwich was worth it will be back
The food was really good. They didn't have jalapenos or a lime for the Corona and somebody was smoking 10 ft away from us at all times when we sat outside.
I love this place! Their food is always fresh and second to none. Not only is the food exceptional, but the service is amazing too. Something for everyone!
Clean and elegant establishment with friendly staff that serves the best food. Was one of the sponsors for the Manteno Triathlon in which the proceeds were donated to the Manteno Veterans Home so they strive to help the community out too!
good sandwiches. Ashley was very friendly and gave great service
The service was very good, the food presentation (even in a carryout box) was excellent, and as always the sandwich was delicious.
We stopped in for a late night bite to eat and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent customer service and freshly prepared food!
Amazing food. By far best Paninis around. Can't go wrong with their soup of the day! Recommend coming here with the family. Very peaceful
The food is great and the slots are fun because my mom likes this place. But I cannot give this place my service due to the staff. Why would this company hire such terrible people...
Absolutely the best clam chowder, turkey bacon panini and potato salad I've ever had!! And the hospitality and service is second to none!!
Great food! Quality meats and great prices. The place is well decorated and always feels welcoming.
Food is soooooo good!!! Can't wait to eat there again!!!
I been here twice last time I came in it was like 10:30 and I didn't know they were closing at 11pm on a Friday. I said hi not a word said so hit the machine and left no tip. Customer service!!
Enjoyed getting a take out order... confortable environment.
Not only do they offer video poker, but they are a stellar place to get sandwiches or deli meats and cheese. The wait staff are awesome too.
We have been here several times. Very good sandwiches, fast service and great people waited on us every time.
Food was good and lots of choices. All fresh. We ordered and did take out
A hidden treasure. Would definitely go back if in the area. Sandwiches are made to order. Staff nice and friendly.
I forget about Darla's. We don't have a place like this in Peotone. Good sandwiches!??
Love this place! Fast and friendly service with a variety of fleshly made hot and cold sandwiches.
My husband and I love to go there. My favorites are the garlic ranch roast beef sandwich or the cheese steak
Ok place to play, though people say few win here. Didn't eat but food looked good. Didn't win but will try again.
Great atmosphere friendly people delicious food and the bathrooms were immaculate. I felt like I was at a hotel lobby
Some great sandwiches there. The pot roast is really tasty.
Rude rude rude will never go again wait 30 minutes for a sandwich and the lady throws the sandwich on the counter and said here not sorry for the wait not have a good day but HERE
This place is so freaking awesome! It just exudes awesomeness in every which way shape and form. You're welcome. Now get there, it is awesome!

Enjoyed a cup of coffee and donut at Darla's. Nice service and atmosphere. We'll be back!
AMAZING sandwiches, friendly staff, and very clean!! Best subs in town!!
WE DIDN'T GO TO EAT WE WENT TO PLAY SLOTS BUT WE DID ENJOY OURSELVES WHILE WE WERE THERE BUT I DID GIVE THE HOSPITALITY FIVE STAR'S JUST FOR THAT ALONE
Was there yesterday and the food was amazing, would definitely go back.
Too lazy to cook dinner tonight, so a turkey avocado panini, and meatball sub for dinner tonight!
Good food. Just wish the pot roast was more tasty.

Coming from the city. This place is the Best. The roast beef Sandwich is INCREDIBLE.
A hidden gem in Manteno.
Pot Roast Panini (minus the blue cheese) is as amazing as their staff!
Had the hot Corned Beef sandwich and it was awesome.......Top shelf.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
