SWEET DARLENE’S RESTAURANT & BAKERY Sweet Darlene’s Restaurant and Bakery is a true American success story. Starting out over 20 years ago in a small food vendor tent, the SDR&B grew and expanded to its present location in the big white building at the east end of town where they can now serve over 100 hungry customers at a time. They started the first Friday night Fish Fry in Quartzsite where they serve Jumbo Cod fried in a special beer-batter. Other specialties include their famous Reuben Sandwich, Steak and Shrimp, slow-cooked Half-Rack of Ribs, and best of all, real mashed potatoes. Sadly, Big Ken passed away a few years ago, but Darlene and her loyal staff have kept the tradition of home-cooked meals going and have added some new menu items as well, such as Key West Chicken, Hawaiian Salad, and Coconut Shrimp. They have added home- made soups, such as Chicken Soup and Trucker’s Soup (vegetable beef) and home-made Chili, all of which come with home-made corn bread. She has several varieties for Gourmet Burgers and sandwiches including pastrami and Cordon Bleu. She has a different special everyday such as Petite Steak on Tuesday for only $5.95 for lunch and Big Steak only $7.95 for dinner. Mornings you can smell the home-made Pecan Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls baking when you walk in to the restaurant where breakfast is served starting at 7am ‘til 11am and features 10 breakfast specials for under $5.00 like the $2.99 bacon and egg special which comes with toast and hash browns. On the way out you can pick-up bakery treats to take home such as her home-made pumpkin nut or banana nut breads, strudel, and a wide variety or cookies and cakes. Their cream pies are made from scratch, such as their Banana Cream, Coconut Cream and Chocolate Cream pies.
