Darrell's Diner — Restaurant in Ocala

I ordered biscuits with sausage, egg, sausage gravy, and cheese on top. Large serving, but blan. Absolutely tastless. With that, I ordered fruit. I was served a small bowl with orange pieces, a couple of grapes, and a fruit I had never seen before in my 66 years. It was dark olive greenish-brown. I ate a grape and orange which had a strange flavor. I also got that tingle on my tongue from fruit that is fermented. My husband asked the waitress about the strange greenish fruit, and she said it was, honeydew melon. She quickly picked up the bowl and said, let me replace this.

Obviously, most people order potatoes or grits (which my husband said weren't good), and not fruit. The fruit rots and ferments in the jar, and they continue to serve it. The waitress said she'd inform the cook. Awful,...

Your kitchen cost you a...

I went to the Dinner since they opened and to be honest one time they charged me a drink twice and I didn't notice it until i looked at my receipt. today I went and I would never go back again, my berger was just bread and meat with like 3 small pieces of onions, no lettuce no tomatoes no cheese no pickles no sauce, just plain bread and like 7 fries. really disappointed because when I got the same burger the first time...
