Read More On Citysearch moremusic 5/16/2010 - Total New!I dined at the Elm Hill location today for lunch, and if you haven't been recently, please, for your own good, GO! They have remodeled and changed the menu since the last time I was in town, and it is unbelievable! Before I just considered it an OK place to eat when I didn't want to go downtown or get fast food, but now I would choose this place over most high-end restaurants in downtown Nashvill...
Read More On Citysearch MrAndersonJ 1/9/2010 - HorribleThe service was horrid - took 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. It took even longer for the food. My chicken was raw in the center and still cold. I did not complain to the waiter but I did leave him a tip - "Find another place two work".
Read More On Citysearch FlyBNA 8/12/2009 - great service, food, and atmosphere!I have been going to Darfons several times a month for year now. A few of the servers have come to recognize me and each time I come in they seem to only get more friendly toward me. The food is amazing, and the service is even better. And coming from an african american female, I know they do not discriminate. That's hard to find these days. The servers, hostess, managers, bartenders, even the b...
Read More On Citysearch Lendonfamily 7/23/2009 - Yummy!I was looking for some place to dine while waiting to pick up my boyfriend from the airport, and found Darfon's on the internet. I was a little nervous considering some of the reviews I read, but decided to give it a shot. I'm really glad I did! I was seated right away, even though the restaurant seemed really busy and I thought I would have to wait. I was promptly greeted by my server who introd...

Read More On Citysearch mollyblue1 7/15/2009 - things have changed.it's had been a while since i had been in and i was pleasantly surprised to see some newer menu items. i couldn't believe they didn't make their onion soup anymore but the tomato bisque that took it's place is absolutely delicious! i was really glad i gave it a try and will go back more often.
Read More On Citysearch murphy361 7/15/2009 - Great place!In response to the review below about the people who sat out on the patio, I was out there at the same time as these women and they were very rude and started looking for things to complain about the minute they were sat. I am a regular here and come weekly, and have never had a bad experience. These women wanted to have they doors opened, and their server explained to them that it was not possib...
Read More On Citysearch SJackson48 7/9/2009 - Terrible place to dine.Darfons has a very nice patio that they never use. No matter how the weather is. We asked the server Carolyn to open the patio and she said the owner(Sam) does not like for it to be open because it messes up the air conditioning???? It took her 15 minutes for her to take the order and another 25 for the meal to come out. There was only 2 other tables taken at the time so we are not sure what took...
Read More On Citysearch jj36 7/6/2009 - Do Not Eat at DarfonsDarfons has the WORST service in the world. They seat you at a table and then take 30 mins to take your drink order then another 30 mins to take your food order.
The Management is Horrible, there was a problem at my table and the manager on duty tried to blame it on us. We explained the entire problem and the manager still didn't provide a solution. WTH?!!! I guess they don't want anyone to b...
Read More On Citysearch nashTN2009 7/6/2009 - ok placejust came back from the restaurant couple mintues... I am not sure how friendly the waiters there. all of them are very serious and none of them give a smile to customers. (not only to me)
the good part is the food served fast even with many people eating there

Read More On Citysearch shosho23 4/2/2009 - give it a tryMy girlfiend and I were tired of the same old places, and gave Darfons a try. We went on a wednesday night and thougt it was great. We were seated quickly in a booth and had a good server. My biggest pet peeve at a restaurant is to feel like I'm being rushed, and we didn't encounter that here. Jeremy was our waiter and gave us excellent service, timing the entrees just right. We had a great ...
Read More On Citysearch appledan 2/26/2009 - Great Service and FoodI was at Darfon's for dinner on Wednesday in the outdoor section (I think they call it the Garage) and had a great experience. The server (nametag said Geronimo) was really good. He recommended the lamb, which was excellent, just as good as he'd said it would be. He gave attentive , friendly, and efficient service, and made the experience that much better. Would recommend Darfon's (and the la...
Read More On Citysearch trident1261 2/19/2009 - Bad Management Rules - One Check Per TableManagement rules are one check per table...apparently business must be real good as they did not want our Tuesday Night Dinner Club with 25 people.
Read More On Citysearch jprism 2/13/2009 - i've been going there for years!I like this place because the people there are like family. Everyone is friendly and knows my name. The people that work there have worked there for years and know a lot about the restaurant. The atmosphere is sophisticatedly comfortable and the food coincides. They have a nice wine menu and wine tastings. I love the blackened tuna and the filet bordelaise. They also have a killer reuben. I rec...
Read More On Citysearch leigh615 2/7/2009 - Don't be a person of colorThe service was the worst I have received since being in Nashville. The restaurant personnel was not very friendly. The hostess did not want to seat me and the food was just okay. Not receptive to people of color. Should have for WHITES ONLY on the door. STAY AWAY!!
Read More On Citysearch odbanks 1/31/2009 - Awesome atmosphere and food!Okay here is the deal. I am originally from Chicago suburbs and there some places like Darfons that are real good. I now live outside St. Louis and cannot find places like this! my wife and I stopped in at Darfons on a tip from our hotel! This was a wonderful place to eat and just sit and relax after being on the road over 8 hours!!
Read More On Citysearch Dennis1969 10/23/2008 - Great food, attentive service, nice atmosphere.I moved to Nashville in '06 and dined at Darfons my first week there on recommendation of my sister. Because of the location (near airport), Darfons gets a lot of business travelers. But locals like it too, because the food is excellent. I recommend the hot brown, which is a hot open-face turkey sandwich with bacon, cream sauce, and cheese--delicious! My waiter was attentive, but didn't hover. ...
Read More On Citysearch musiktherapie 9/10/2008 - Good Dining ExperienceI have dined at Darfons several times because I work in the area and I have never had a problem. The food is always great and brought out in a timely manner. The service is good and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Try the green beans, they are wonderful!
Read More On Citysearch walfigi 5/21/2008 - fun and not corporateWe eat here when we want to go out somewhere fun and relaxing where the servers won't hurry us up and they let us enjoy our food and conversation. I was bothered by the last review on this site stating you should get take out because of bad service. Why does someone want to give a bad impression of a business because of one unsavory experience? How can service be courteous to a fault? I enjoy th...
Read More On Citysearch nitocris 2/18/2008 - Great food, need to put the servers through math class againWe went for lunch there at work one day. There were about 11 people in our party, and the service was fast and corteous to a fault. The food is always great at good prices. After we finish and begin to pay, the waitress tells us each the amount we owe her. After she goes around and collects all of the money, she takes it away to process the orders. Upon her return tells us that we did not gi...
Read More On Citysearch kennykessinger 6/29/2007 - AWESOME!!!Some friends from work and I stumbled upon this restaraunt and were a little scared since we had never heard of it. The food was awesome!! The variety on the menu was a great change from your average Logan's or O'Charley's. I don't remember the name of my dish, but it was a penned pasta covered in marinara and had grilled chicken and andouille sausage in it, smothered with mozarella cheese! YUMMY...
Read More On Citysearch tiffhas3 5/11/2007 - Great service, unfortunately that was all.
After reading the reviews, I decided to give Darfon's a try. I was disappointed to say the least. I went on a Friday night and did not have to wait too long--20 minutes (acceptable for a Friday night). The first thing I noticed was the noise, it just seemed rather noisy. We were taken to the banquet room which was much quieter where Justin gave us excellent service. I just wish that the food...
Read More On Citysearch aacradle 4/27/2007 - DON'T ORDER CHICKEN!Darfon's is a lovely restaurant and very convenient to the airport and surrounding areas. I have a little discrepancy though. The first time I went to Darfon's, I had a cheeseburger and it was delicious! The second time I went, I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and broccoli and that was delicious as well. I decided I'd order it again the third time around and ended up getting extremely ill. I...
Read More On Citysearch allie424 3/25/2007 - this place has got it all!!the last comment was right on the money, this place serves the best ribs i've ever had and so much more. my husband and i ate at darfons on saturday and not only was the food amazing (and very fairly priced), but the service was excellent, there was no wait, and the ambience of the place was fabulous (the jazz music was wonderful)...i'm very surprised more people haven't heard about this place!!!...
Read More On Citysearch seacrock504 1/18/2007 - Dear God the ribs!Look, anyone who rates this place poorly is probably a disgruntled former employee or the owner of a rival, inferior restaurant. I looked at that one bad review on here, and I think they must totally be sniffing glue, or maybe they should start sniffing glue. This place is really terrific - the food, the service, the EVERYTHING!! I go here all the time. Let me list a few of my favorite delici...
Read More On Citysearch beerman22 1/2/2007 - Excellent foodI first discovered this restaurant by accident and have dined there three times since. The menu is broad and the food is excellent. Two out of three times the service was excellent the third time it was average.
Read More On Citysearch rhranitzky 11/12/2006 - No Thanks.I simply can't explain why this place was more than half full this evening. The decor is okay here, the service was normal, but I can honestly say that I didn't like anything I was served this evening. I started with a very sub-par ceasar salad that had WAY too much dressing. I ordered the London Broil. It came out covered in a strangely tangy mushroom sauce, and was served with green beans remen...
Read More On Citysearch harddriv 9/12/2005 - A Great Find!This is a wonderful restaurant nestled in the heart of donelson, tn. You wouldn't expect it to be so wonderful considering it's location. But, once you walk in you are surrounded by a wonderful ambience. I have been eating here for almost five years and have enjoyed it each time! My husband and I have taken friends & family there for dinner and they have loved it! I have also had their lunch...eq...
Read More On Citysearch ebjackson 9/9/2005 - Ain't what it used to beLast time my husband and I went, we sat in a crowded lobby for 45 min because they ran out of menus. What used to be my favorite restaurant has grown lax. Wait staff are aloof and untrained. Food way below par. Ain't what it used to be - and I miss it.
Read More On Citysearch mydandan2002 1/10/2005 - Service is awfulUsed to be our favorite "special occasion" spot. A year ago, server was so rude I said i'd never return. Letter to manager ignored. Recently went back for food. Server was rude and food was not good. There are much better places to eat in Nashville area.
Read More On Citysearch jcp0003 1/10/2005 - Best Restaurant in NashvilleFood is top notch. Service is first class. Perfect place for stopping by to catch a game, meet some people and get a drink. Of course, getting a bite to eat adds to the enjoyment of a well made drink.
Read More On Citysearch twindraggons 12/17/2002 - Best kept secret in NashvilleGreat food, drinks and service! The best place to grab a drink after work, meet people from out of town and relax before a night on the town.
