When I was a teen-ager, in the late 1970's, Darryl's was THE place to go. The food, the atmosphere were tops. Even when I became older, I still enjoyed eating at Darryl's. I would often find myself craving their Tennessee Jack Black Chicken. Today, I...was in Greensboro, so I thought I would treat my friend to the Darryl's experience. After eating there, we both agreed that we would never eat there again. I will list my reasons below.
-Too much time lapsed from the time we were seated until a server spoke to us. We sat there ten minutes looking at our menus before we were asked what we wanted to drink.
-Too little friendliness. Our hostess and our server never attempted to smile at us. It seems they hate their jobs. We were never offered refills. I felt I was imposing on them.
-Too little portions. My chicken, though delicious, was smaller than the palm of my hand. There was no cup of extra sauce for dipping as there used to be.
-Too much cost. Even though the portions were small, the price was not. And, the server or Darryl's did not see fit to return the 24 cents in change owed to me. I know 24 cents means little these days, but it seems they think they have the right to keep my money.
Therefore, dear consumers, you can find food in much larger portions at lower prices, and served by a friendly staff at almost any other restaurant. Skip Darryl's and go anywhere else.
Good bye Darryl's. My 40-year fondness for you is now over.More
