Very cute place we didn’t even know existed! We went for line dance lessons and they didn’t start til after 830 which was odd considering it was supposed to let us in at 750. The lessons aren’t for beginners, it’s very fast. I wish they had been more for very very beginners. Still a super cool place and the beer was cheap!
hello darlin'Responded on September 19, 2026
Thank-you for joining us, Beckah! And for taking the time to share your review. I'll certainly share your feedback about the class level with our team. Glad you enjoyed the space regardless, and I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back.

There apparently is no need to book a table, when we arrived they said to find somewhere to sit. There was no table put aside for our reservation and we had to find some seating at the bar tables and share with another group. So disappointing.

Hi Adrianna, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We have shared it with our teams and will be sure that we are diligent in setting aside tables for all reservations. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again to offer the experience we're certain we can provide.

We had a very small wedding (10 people) so after our dinner at Erica Jane we went to Hello Darlin.' The staff was amazing! They had a great table reserved for us, sparking wine and they were so happy we were there. The DJ played White Wedding for us as soon as we arrived and the rest of the night from that moment on was incredible! Everyone did karaoke and the crowd was so fun and energetic and made us feel special! The vibe there is amazing. Bartenders were quick and friendly and very attentive. Everyone said it was the most fun night ever and loved it so much there!! We will all be back! Shout out to the staff who were so accommodating and made us feel celebrated. It could not have been more fun!!!!
hello darlin'Responded on June 25, 2025
Wow, thank-you so much for including us in your celebration, Silvia! It's really great to hear that you all enjoyed the evening and that our team took good care of you. I'll make sure to pass along your kind words to the crew. It means a lot that you plan to join us again - we'll be looking forward to welcome you back! Thanks again, and congratulations!

I love this place, the booking for reservations was fairly easy and streamlined. However, the deposit of 5$ per person is not well explained. Saying "deposit" when you book implies you get the money refunded back after you show up to your booking, but in fact it's just a fee to reserve which should be better explained.
hello darlin'Responded on May 28, 2025
You're very right, Derek and I apologize for the confusion. We unfortunately don't have control of the name "deposit," as this is something implemented by OpenTable. We absolutely recognize the possibly misleading nature of this though, and have tried to mitigate potential miscommunication by including better information in the confirmation text. This seemed like a better option than refunding the deposits and then separately charging the cover price resulting in multiple unnecessary transactions, but if this method is still too convoluted, it's certainly worth reevaluating. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and feedback! It's really very much appreciated. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again sometime.

We enjoyed this venue. Music was country and fun. Atmosphere was old style country saloon. Very unique. We did not have food, so can’t comment on that. We went to the bar for drinks as we did not get approached by any server. We had reservations and this was our first time there. We’d definitely be specific in our table reservations next time. As we were taken to a barstool social table (there were 6 of us) and there were guests in our seats. The hostess tried to inform the guests that these were our seats but given the volume of music and communication they weren’t moving. Furthermore our one friend would not be able to sit on a barstool as she had back surgery. So they offered focus to move a sofa and a few chairs and we set ourselves up. It worked out fine. Overall a fun place. Have fun 🤩
hello darlin'Responded on May 23, 2025
Annette, thank-you so much for such a positive review despite some of our shortcomings. The kind of welcome you describe falls pretty far below what we're aiming for and I apologize. I'm very relieved that you enjoyed the evening regardless, and I hope we might have the opportunity to host you again sometime and put our best foot forward.

Love this experience so much. The only criticism of this space, is you have to exit into a dark alley. From a security perspective this needs to be reviewed. Also the interior space of hello darlin is small so some consideration needs to be addressed for human pollution,(gas) keeping the door open for air and ceiling fans would be a start.

Thank-you for your review, Elle! We're really grateful to be able to hear all of your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to share it!
