Neighborhood gem

The “corner bar” is always the best neighborhood hangout and an integral part of the community. Darryl's Corner Bar & Kitchen is just that: the intersection of good friends, great food and live music. The sleek bar, exposed brick walls and sexy lighting offers Roxbury, the South End and Back Bay the sophisticated social spot they’ve been craving. The southern-inspired menu is approachable yet dynamic. Diners can look forward to down home comfort food prepared with an uptown twist. Enjoy specialties like the traditional Louisiana style Gumbo; Blackened Catfish; and Fried Chicken & Waffles. It's one of the few places in Boston to offer live jazz, blues, R&B, and funk music - hosting notable musicians 6 times a week.

I attended the Jazz Brunch. The live performers were loud in that little space, but they were great. The regular music in between sets was a good level.

Always a great time at Darryl’s! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, and the music is always enjoyable and fun. Sad they’re closing for a month to relaunch, but looking forward to the next chapter!

Truly disappointed, not sure if it was an off night or what. My server was all over the place it took two hours for our food, which was super cold. They messed up our drink orders. No one came by to check. One server to 7 tables is pretty ridiculous no one moving with intent I asked for sauce ten times and still never received it. I will for sure not be back here.

We left Daryl’s, and came before it shut down for changes. As usual, the food is delicious, but our service was pretty, lousy, forgotten drinks, forgotten, orders, and a rude hostess. Too bad. Looking for forward to some positive changes when you reopen. We were regulars for a very long time and hope to be back again soon.

As usual, great atmosphere, entertainment and food. Sometimes service is a little slow because they are so busy but they are always very pleasant and accommodating. For a nice night out in Boston, I highly recommend !

Everything about this restaurant is poor! It's lacking professionalism. The dining room need reconstruction. For first time goers, if you're making a reservation, please state that you want to be seated in the main dining hall or else you'll be placed in back room watching a TV. For some reason the night that I went, the waitress / waiter seem very confused and not knowledgeable of what to do. We waited a very long time for our drinks. Before we got to our table water was in our or glasses. Not sure where it came from but it seemed a bit sketchy. We waited a very long time to visit this restaurant and it was a bit disappointing to see the service that we received. Now let's talk about the food, if you have high blood pressure, please do not visit this restaurant. The items on the menu is very high in salt. The whole crew scene disorganized and as I said they lack professionalism. I think they all need to wear uniforms so they could look in unison. The chicken wings were quite tasty and the band did really well for what we were able to hear. It's just a odd place. Seem like someone's basement and everyone is just trying to figure things out as they go along

Music and vibe were fantastic! Food and drinks were tasty. Service was very slow, but this is the kind of place you go to spend time at.

This is one of the best places to eat in the city and beyond. The New Orleans style food is gourmet and like home-cooked at the same time. The ambiance is friendly and comfortable, and the music is excellent. Try it; you will not be disappointed!
