A disgusting place to go to. I’ll never go there!

I think Darrell's is the best place in the Villages for breakfast. I've been all over the world, and let me tell you .. Darrell's has the BEST BACON in the world! And onions in the homefries?. Fantastic !! (but you have to order them that way).
Cleanliness ? Just fine for me. (A good clue of kitchen cleanliness is by checking the rest rooms. Clean rest room = clean kitchen.)
Covid?? not worried about it one bit.
I'll be at Darrell's (SS) tomorrow for sure.

I saw that report, and agree that the issues are easily fixable. Next day re-inspection shows this was just a blip that I am willing to overlook. I plan on eating there soon.

I've eaten breakfast in a few of the Darrell's before playing golf. Never witnessed anything but the employees cleaning after customers, keeping the restrooms and kitchen clean. Never gotten bad service or bad food there.:)

For the quality of the food and the service and price we will never go back

Obvious systemic problems caused by unconcerned management. Have lost my wife and I as customers.

Food inspection seems they can’t keep employees wash sink up to standards multiple visits!

In either case the local morticians must be smiling.

Being certified in Food Safety, these are very minor violations and corrected in just a few moments. As stated earlier, simply the result of rushing. I wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again.

The number of violations is interesting. I tried two locations in the area quite a long time ago. Both experiences bothered me a great deal. I tend to observe, probably more than the average consumer, little things you know. The restrooms of places give a good hint always in my opinion, but I don't judge just on that. But when you really watch the little things you can get a good idea of the standards, another is watching the staff that stands behind a restaurant on their smoke breaks.... that can also be a very interesting observation. In one location I saw a waitress drop some things off a tray she was taking to a table to set it up. I doubt many others noticed when she stopped, picked up what appeared to be tableware wrapped in a napkin, and out of curiosity, I watched. I suppose thinking she would go deposit it in a bus pan. But no, continued to the table and set it up ? When I see those little things, always makes me wonder what else is going on that you can't see ? Not a big fast food patron, but sometimes I wonder if maybe those establishments are (somewhat ?) cleaner and "safer", than many full service restaurants. More seems to be insight, but that does not tell the whole story either ! Son once worked in country club (in another state) where blood from raw chicken was allowed to drop down onto large pans below that contained the lettuce for the side salads ! Trouble was, it was the country club WE belonged to ! :ohdear::ohdear::ohdear: We all eat out, and on the whole, I think we are fortunate that so few really terrible incidents of illness happen, but no matter what kind of house keeper you are, I think the home kitchen is cleaner...LOL !
