I REALLY enjoyed this restaurant!! The food was FANTASTIC!!! I got the crab cakes, fries and broccoli salad. Best broccoli salad I've ever had. It had real crispy bacon in it, not the soggy fat pieces. The hush puppies were great as well as the seafood platter. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Decor was pleasant. Seems like a place all of the locals go! I would highly recommend this restaurant for all- locals and visitors!
We stopped in after some driving at the wildlife preserve.
We are so glad we did! Food was amazing, staff was very friendly.
The hush puppies are the best, then we got the fried seafood, crab cakes and a bowl of shrimp chowder. All very good, cooked perfect, and delicious.
This family owned place was welcoming, and felt very comfortable.
Our "fish cakes" Crab cakes. Tasted very crabby .

The friendly hostess greeted us, and our server, who made our stay memorable, was friendly and attentive. I started the meal with a Hatteras Style Clam Chowder. A very light clear broth soup chock full of clams and potatoes. The clams were sweet and tender, tender potatoes and a flavorful broth. So much so that it didn't need any additional seasoning. My son enjoyed his Buffalo Shrimp appetizer as his meal. My wife ordered the Fried Chicken lunch entree with Cole Slaw and French Fries. She raced about the crispy exterior, and how tender the chicken was. My wife enjoyed both of her sides, Cole Slaw and French Fries. I ordered the Hickory BBQ Platter with a Baked Sweet Potato and Cole Slaw. The Hickory BBQ Platter was tender pulled pork, which was slowly cooked for 12 hours onsite at Darrell's. Wow. Talk about delicious. The pork was fork tender, and marinated in a vinegar based sauce. The addition of a side of sweet BBQ sauce made it taste like sweet and sour pork. Quite delicious. The Cole Slaw was crispy and creamy. Then the Baked Sweet Potato was tender and sweet, and the addition of cinnamon sugar made the sweet potato taste even better.
Was recommended here by a local. (Shout out to First Mate Ethan for the tip.) Definitely a great choice. Will be coming back here for sure. The food was amazing and so was the wait staff. The atmosphere was very calm and and family style. Loved it so much! Both our servers (we here during shift change) were wonderful! Thanks Laura and Casey! Yall were both great! Will be seeing yall again!
Our group had breakfast here this morning and I have to say the service and the food was excellent. The place is clean and well taken care of. Darrell’s has been around since 1960 so you know they have to be doing something right. Food was delivered quickly and cooked perfect. I had the country fried steak and home fries. Steak was tender and lightly breaded. Home fries were cooked to a tender crispiness with a soft inside. I would recommend this dish if you like country fried steak
My husband and I were visiting Manteo and I had eaten here before. The first night, we had great service! She was extremely attentive, friendly, and the food was very good
We went back the same week for dinner service. The food was still very good, but the service was lacking. Our server seemed not interested in us or being in the building. The host was as friendly. She just took my money, didn't thank us, say hello, anything.
Terrific local place. Got there and were served graciously and quickly. Garden salad with grilled chicken so awesome and fresh! Loved my cod, shrimp and hush puppies. Twice baked potato so yummy. Loved it.
We had the 2 piece fried chicken dinner. It was really good. Priced right. Excellent service. We saw the Manteo bookstore guy as we were waiting to be seated. You know if the locals eat there, it must be good!
Excellent experience Francisca was our server and she was attentive and pleasant. I got the Hush puppies as an appetizer and the crab cake platter under the lunch section of the menu. They were delicious and the French fries were perfectly prepared the Cole slaw was perfectly seasoned. Well worth the trip across the bridge!
