About Darlene's Kitchen

Darlene's Kitchen is located at 302 Genesee St, Chittenango, NY 13037, USA, and can be contacted at (315) 687-3129 or +1 315-687-3129. It is listed under the platform category of Chinese Restaurant.

Based on customer reviews, Darlene's Kitchen is described as a very quiet diner. One reviewer noted the service was good, almost to the point of being overly attentive. However, this same review mentioned issues with a cold mushroom cheese omelette due to cold mushrooms and a very cold dining environment. It's also important to note that Darlene's Kitchen operates on a cash-only basis, though an ATM is available on the premises. Parking and entry are primarily accessible from the back of the establishment.

More recent feedback paints a less favorable picture. A customer stated that the diner no longer offers a positive experience, citing doubled prices and portion sizes reduced by half. They also reported slow food service with dishes often being undercooked or overcooked. Furthermore, this reviewer described the staff as rude, with their attitude worsening when they receive a smaller tip. This customer strongly advises against eating at Darlene's Kitchen and suggests choosing another establishment.

In conclusion, while categorized as a Chinese Restaurant, Darlene's Kitchen appears to present a mixed experience based on recent online reviews. Potential customers should be aware of reports regarding a cold environment, cash-only payment, parking limitations, increased prices, smaller portions, slow and potentially poorly cooked food, and rude staff. The earlier positive mention of attentive service and a decent omelette is contrasted by more recent, strongly negative feedback.

A very quiet diner with good service, almost too good to where it could be annoying. The mushroom cheese omelette was good other than the mushrooms were cold. It was very cold in here also. This is cash only with an ATM in the place. You pretty much have to park and enter from the back of the establishment.

There is nothing good about this diner anymore. They doubled the prices and cut the portion sizes in half. The food comes out slow and is usually undercooked or overcooked. The staff are rude and get even more rude when you give them a smaller tip because of their attitude. Don't eat here, go somewhere else. You can thank me later.

Just discovered this little gem while passing through Chittenango. This trip has become a regular journey for me and it's a bit out of the way so I figured it was time I found a regular spot to stop for coffee and recharge. Ended up with coffee and more. My only mistake was asking for a cup of homemade soup instead of getting a bowl. So good! I enjoyed the soup of the day pasta fazul and a grilled cheese with tomato. Added the bacon for fun. A good cup of coffee and I was sent away with a to-go cup as well. Very reasonable prices, great service and the food was exceptional. Hoping to go back soon.

Biggest AND Best Friday Fish Sandwich on the planet! Just LOOK at this… can’t even fit the whole tasty fillet in the pic! And everything else is great too. The fries, the pie, the service…
