Been going to Darrell's for 4 years now 3-4 times a week, this past Thursday (4/25)I had a horrible experience. We also try to sit in front outside to enjoy seeing the people go by. A couple left the table by the door and I sat down, even though the table was not cleared yet, we've done this in the past. The manager on duty, Derik, came out and said there clean tables around the corner, I told that why I sat there. He said that there was a sign inside the door that "Please wait to be seated" (which could not be seen from outside). That sign has not been used since I've been going there and told him so, he got very rude and said "it's going to ne a long time before table got cleared", then he proceeded to go to the other two tables to get their orders and every time he went by the table he didn't bother to even take one dirty dish, like it was beneath him to clear a table. With that I told my friend that I was leaving, my friend said the Derik told him that he wasn't going to serve us until I apologised! All the other servers are always very pleasant and helpful.

I'll go back, but this experience has left me with a bad taste with me.
