This is a long-time neighborhood soul-food and jazz hangout but it looks spiffy, not old. Starters are half price until 6:30 pm. It's Reggae night on Tuesdays, and glorified chicken and waffles on Wednesdays. Cover is $3 for live bands and theatergoers receive dining discounts.

Area students and South End hipsters flock to Darryl's for the live jazz, R&B and reggae that plays every night. Start with a whiskey smash to wash down an order of fried catfish strips or Cajun crab cakes, and don’t miss the bacon barbecue cheeseburger with sweet potato fries....
