Darlington restaurants with food menus

Tomahawk Steakhouse Darlington

➤ Unit 6 Feethams, Darlington I-DL1 5RD, United Kingdom

Grill • Seafood • British • Steakhouse

"Additionally, the service was painfully slow, especially considering we were the first guests in the restaurant when it opened. It took us 45 minutes just to receive cutlery and drinks. The biggest letdown was that this was meant to be a celebration for my partner and me’s civil partnership ceremony party, and with all the rave reviews about Tomahawk, we thought we couldn't go wrong. Unfortunately, we were mistaken. It felt like the biggest waste of money I've ever spent at a restaurant. And don't expect a classy atmosphere; they had a broken window that they attempted to conceal with cardboard boxes. It was also freezing inside on what was a cold, snowy winter afternoon, indicating a tight budget when it comes to heating. Overall, we will definitely not be returning."

Sol Tapas

➤ 28 Duke Street, DL3 7AQ, Darlington, United Kingdom

Pizza • Spanish • Lebanese • Vegetarian

"I am very happy to eat here for silvester with husband and daughter and was certainly not disappointed. I would even say that this was the best meal I had in 2017! we went for tapas and had a selection of different dresses that were cooked to perfection, lebonese kebab and bark in red wine were to die and then the Potata band and croquette kartoffels tasted divine and finally the paella was the best I ever tasted. can't wait to go back. Thank you."

The Fox Hole

➤ Piercebridge, Darlington I-DL2 3SJ, United Kingdom

Pub • British • European • Vegetarian

"I stumbled upon this pub by chance and decided to check it out from the outside. The following week, we returned, but the bartender informed us they didn't start serving food until 6 PM. So, we took some time to look over the menu. I’m not a fan of seafood, but I ended up enjoying the beer-battered cauliflower. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant opened right on time!"

Foodiez Deli

➤ 120 Neasham Road, Darlington, United Kingdom, DL1 4BD

Drinks • Seafood • British • Fast Food

"The food at this restaurant is served piping hot and with meticulous care, not rushed like fast food. The staff are delightful and the bread is incredibly fresh, practically bouncing in your mouth with every bite. Each mouthful feels like a well-deserved reward after a hard day's work. The person who makes the chocolate brownies deserves special mention, as they leave a smooth and satisfying taste in your mouth that lingers long after you've left. I highly recommend this place - just looking at the menu has me eager to return on my next visit to Darlington. The food here has truly won me over, and I want to thank the staff for their exceptional service. I will definitely be back."

Stable Hearth

➤ 1 High Row, DL3 7RX, Darlington, United Kingdom

Full • Pizza • Lunch • Drinks

"Friends took us here on Saturday night for the first time, they had been several times before. First time for us. We were a bit early, about 6.15pm. Not a problem, got taken upstairs to our table. Quite well laid out, very spacious. The waitress we got was fantastic, I can’t recall her name, young blonde lady with glasses, she just couldn’t of been any better, she is a credit to that restaurant. Such a polite, professional, funny, charismatic young lady. Really good menu, I had squid for starters, I was expecting a few rings as usual in most places, but you got a set of tentacles which I prefer over rings, and good thick rings with a lemon mayo. Absolutely delicious. I chose the ‘cor blimey’ pizza which was spicy melting Italian sausage and chilli. Hands down the best pizza I have had in this country, and I am quite picky when it comes to pizza. I did get to sample friends pizza, goats cheese and red onion, which was delicious, I can’t remember what the other two were. The mix of that quality of food with the excellent service was so refreshing. Really good atmosphere due to the staff. I’m sure all the other staff were equally good, I can only comment on the one we had. She also shared the story of the owners journey which was very interesting. Great experience all round really. It was also very refreshing as a person with full neck tattoos not to be stared at or treat differently by staff, as is often the case with visiting restaurants. I would like to thank the owner and the waitress for a great night . It is often very easy to leave very harsh and critical reviews, sometimes unfairly. I think it is as equally important to give praise in as much detail. I will definitely be a regular from now on here, and would highly recommend it to anyone. I couldn’t fault anything about the whole experience. Oh, nearly forgot to mention the chips. Try the stable hearth secret ingredient home made chips !!!!!!"

Kebab • Cafés • Sushi • Asiatic

"eating excellent, delivery excellent, but overloading is not good, that was better than on ordering just eating, my order was £13.20 plus delivery, I was charged £16.80 by driver so this is £3.60 for delivery, or I was overcharged to the food, delivery fees are inconsistent, a week before £1, previous delivery was charged £2. the shipping costs must be consistent so that they know what they pay. order date Friday 23rd october time. 17 13th phone order meal add a £8.00 245 £3.70 chicken balls overall. £13.20 charged inc delivery. 16,80 €"

Pizza • Cafés • Asiatic • Fast Food

"Great food, friendly service and excellent value. After visiting the theatre on a Friday night we found that this was the only restaurant still open in the area (it was only 10pm). The staff were very friendly, the food arrived relatively quickly, and was delicious. All the staff seemed very friendly and keen to make us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend."

The Tawny Owl

➤ Neasham Road, Hurworth MoorDurham DL2 1QE, Darlington, United Kingdom

Pub • Salad • Dining • Burgers

"I made a reservation through the app, but upon arriving at the restaurant, I was abruptly informed that my booking was not in the system. Despite showing confirmation, the person who greeted guests was not helpful and only offered a table when prompted. The only available space was in the bar area. The waitresses provided good service, being attentive, polite, and quick. Unfortunately, the food portions and quality did not match the price paid. It's a shame because the location is nice and the pub has a cozy atmosphere."

Houndgate Townhouse

➤ 11 Houndgate Darlington, Durham DL1 5RF, United Kingdom

Steak • Coffee • Mexican • Brasseries

"Our first visit to this restaurant was fantastic. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Although the service was a bit slow at times, the staff were very friendly. We stayed in room 6 and it was stunning, with extremely comfortable beds. The evening meal was just as delicious as lunch. It's disappointing to hear that the restaurant is closing down, as we would have definitely visited again."

Tea With Alice

➤ 4 Tillage Green, Darlington, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"be a few times now, they love the deluxe hot chocolate, although it is a bit expensive. the cheeks are also very beautiful. I ordered the breakfast last time that we were there and doubled (eye bigger than bauch) it was hard to eat there. it was all stacked on a normal dish. we sat on a small table and there was hardly any space to put the drinks and teller. the crates in which they bring the best are a bit of a waste of time to be honest. you could say, unless someone has to put the serviettes in and the ones in, so it would be easy to bring the cutlery and serviette in? my only little critique, if ever that every time we were in the teamworkers, seem to huddle up and chat with each other quite a lot and the service is very slow. Last time I ordered my hot chocolate, I asked her without marshmallows, she came with them and I told the young man I had ordered without her. he never offered a new one, just said, huh? I never had a damper, but it found a bit rude not even to offer to roast it. next time I order one when it comes to them, it will be back!"

Darlington Flyer

➤ 30 Skinnergate, DL3 7NR, Darlington, United Kingdom

"Great venue to watch sports. Great outdoor area, plenty of seating. Good customer service and great price offers during the day. Never personally eaten here, but been informed it's good value and good food."

The Spotted Dog

➤ 6 The Green, DL2 2LJ, Darlington, United Kingdom

Meat • Steak • Tapas • Cheese

"My second visit to The spotted dog. Family of 6 adults, attentive staff lovely atmosphere. Food very good especially the mains. However a bit disappointed by the shortage of vegetarian options. Just one starter hummus and two mains one of the pies of the day was a cheese potato pie and a butternut squash goats cheese risotto. I had the risotto and it was delicious, my daughter daughter in law had the pie which they also enjoyed. None of us are vegans but there was nothing vegan listed on the menu, although I’m sure if we’d asked something would have been offered. But a shame not on main menu. Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will be back. But if coming with vegan friends would ring first to check options."

Baydale Beck Inn

➤ Low Coniscliffe, Darlington, England, DL2 2JX, United Kingdom

Pub • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"beautiful eating great vegan menu, which is why we visited this pub. we went on a beautiful sunny day sitting outside in the garden and it was just beautiful. the meal delicate comesempura broccoli and hummus, and salat with apples, grapes and crispy nuts, followed by drawn jackfruit in bung with chips and tagliatelle with nuts and cherry tomatoes. it was a Fab menu, really tasty and good value. in any case recommend a visit."

The Wandering Duck

➤ 15 Grange Road, DL1 5NA, Darlington, United Kingdom

Cafe • Spanish • British • Vegetarian

"I recently visited this restaurant on the recommendation of my brother and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The service was excellent, the ambiance was great, and the food was cooked to perfection. It was definitely great value for money and it's no surprise why this place is so popular. I highly recommend trying the Wandering Duck Full English breakfast. Overall, I would give this place a 5-star rating for food, service, and atmosphere. The price per person typically range from £10 to £20 for a meal."

The Croft

➤ The Croft Hotel Croft on Tees Darlington, DL2 2ST, DL2 2SS, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • British • Burgers

"We had a last-minute family lunch and it turned out to be a great choice! The service was fantastic, with nothing being too much trouble - they even provided a highchair for the baby. The food was delicious, with most of us opting for the beef which was very tasty. The nut roast and naked burger were also enjoyed, although the burger initially arrived without all the trimmings but was quickly fixed. The desserts were great, with the creme brulee being a highlight despite appearing small - it was surprisingly filling. When the baby became a little restless, we took them to reception to calm down and the staff were very friendly, reassuring us that the baby was just as much a guest as anyone else. We appreciated the welcoming staff and the delicious food. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. On a side note, we hadn't visited the Croft Spa in a few years and loved the makeover - well done!"

Imperial Express Cafe

➤ Northumberland St, Darlington, United Kingdom, DL3 7HJ

Cafés • Pasta • Steak • European

"Possibly the worst meal I’ve eaten in the last 10 years. Terrible quality and badly cooked food. My partner had the beef Bourgogne, you couldn’t really call it that though, more of a tasteless beef stew. Completely under seasoned, had never seen a drop a red with a nice mixture of frozen peas, a sad looking bowl of frozen veg and a blob of stale lumpy mash potato. I myself had had the the king prawn pasta. Again, no seasoning at all. Completely tasteless. How you can make so many ingredients taste of nothing is beyond me. The only thing there was the slightest hint of basil. The pasta, just cheap dried penne a little over cooked. All in all the cooking lacked any passion or pride, the presentation was poor, the food was poor and just left you thoroughly disappointed. I’ve honestly had better microwave meals. The place is currently looking for a new chef, this is desperately needed. I think I would even suggest changing the menu for the time being to something that is is within whoever is cooking at the minutes skill set. Drinks are also extortionate, my partner and I don’t drink so had a fresh orange and lemonade, this was £15 for low quality mixers. The place in general is a little shabby and could do with an update, the staff could do with a little training even though the lady that served was pleasant enough. All in all, I certainly won’t be visiting again. We had been looking forward to going here after looking at the menu when we called in for a coffee one afternoon. Do you self a favour and take a pass when you think of visiting here, there are much better place to spend your money in Darlington."

Uno Momento

➤ 6 Blackwellgate, Darlington, United Kingdom, DL1 5HL

Cafés • Mexican • Asiatic • Fast Food

"Excellent. Haven't got a single complaint! Food was great, service even better. Great value for money. I even broke my record and gave a 20% tip must have been the good wine! Toilets spotless. Everyone looked happy with their food and all quick to be delivered. I only gave a 4 for atmosphere. Doesn't bother me at all but some might be offput by crying babies but this was a weekday lunchtime."

Hole In The Wall

➤ Horsemarket, Darlington, United Kingdom

Cafés • Pizza • Asiatic • Mexican

"Impeccable food here. Went for Sunday lunch and had the belly pork, with some pigs in blankets on the side. The portions were fantastic and the price was very affordable. The belly pork was beautifully done and full of flavour. The staff were very friendly and accommodating (we were being a tad difficult) and it was a wonderful atmosphere. We sat outside due to it being a very nice day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I would highly recommend as it was the best Sunday lunch I have had in years."

The Mustard Tree

➤ 4 West End, Darlington, United Kingdom, DL2 2JD

Cafe • Vegan • British • Breakfast

"Really pleasant place friendly and clean ,the only negative was that the table we were at was next to a store cupboard and we had to constantly move , My suggestion is to either remove the table or move it slightly Grea idea of the 50p refills"

Voodoo Cafe

➤ United Kingdom, Darlington

Tea • Coffee • Mexican • Vegetarian

"the staff is very friendly, responsive and helpful. they served me with a big smile in these faces, which makes a great difference. I have eaten an influxxl and was delicious, they have a hand made coleslaw and the brot, sausage, speck and wobbles make a great combination. I'll be back in a moment."
