“ THANK YOU to everyone who wrote a review about the Pad Thai - we were in Maine at the end of the 2024 & I was craving Pad Thai. Pad Thai from a pub?? Really?! YES PLEASE! It was fantastic. Completely satisfied my craving. I had a bite of my husband's buddha bowl & OH MY GOODNESS... YUP... We will definitely be back this year & we will definitely be eating here again, at least once. Highly recommend. ”
“ I've been eating at Darbys for many year's, and you can't get more delicious home cooking in the area hand's down! The staff is giving hard working folks that I feel fortunate to call friends, that I hold dear. And before ending this ode I happily feel that Kim needs to be called out as the an Amazing pastry chef! So... Don't fill up. Save space for any of Kim's delightful creations! ”
“ This was a fun find as we were passing through Belfast. The clam chowder was perfect, I ordered a cup, but then ordered a bowl after finishing the cup. Our waitress was awesome, so nice and good at her job. She made it a great experience. Our family also thought it was super cool that her mom had been a waitress there when she was a kid. ”
“ Attempted to go to a different place, but it was so crowded, I could not make it to the bar. Walked a little bit further and found Darby's! Sat immediately at the bar and ordered my drinks and a snack. Bartender was very attentive. Everything was great! Likely will go back again on this trip. ”
“ Lunch today, was one of the first customers there. Service was great, fast and friendly. Had a Darbys burger and fries and was delicious. The star today though, was Baked Jarlsberg!!! It was sooooo good! I would love to stay in town a little longer just so I can go back and have it again! Highly recommended! ”
