Almost hate to post to keep this off the radar but they deserve the recognition. Sat at a tall table in the bar area, immediate seating. Service was quick, great cocktail recommendations and deep dive into the specials of the day. Best choices on the specials menu. If you need a break from downtown and you're just outside the airport, this is a great option. Easy parking and friendly staff all around!! read more

This place was recommended by our hotel clerk as it was nearby and had numerous menu choices according to him. He was right! The restaurant is well decorated and clean. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and led to our table. Our server showed up almost immediately for our drink orders which she returned with promptly. The menu has something for everyone and is challenging when you go in hungry as it all looks and sounds good. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good along with a tenderloin meatloaf special that had amazing flavor and texture. I'm not normally a meatloaf person, but this sounded interesting and met all expectations. We found room for dessert and it was outstanding as well. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an enjoyable and reasonably priced for the quality/ quantity meal. Overall, for the two of us our bill was $130 for 2 drinks each, an appetizer, a salad, a split meal and a dessert. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!@ read more

Totally forgot to check in this last time but the review is here! We came here for my sister's birthday brunch celebration. We were there at the reservation time and all our party guests were on site. They took us almost right away. Our server was very nice and attentive but it got a little crowded and he got a little foto it overall everything was good. Food was delicious and within a reasonable time out and everyone enjoyed their time. They have their own parking and I do recommend making a reservation as they do get busy. I love the new decor (I had been there before but it was a while back) and the food choices. They have a bar area but it got pretty crowded quickly it seemed. Definitely come check them out! read more

Everytime I come to Darfons to eat I am beyond pleased. I always get a helpful and attentive server. The food is phenomenal. Today I had a prime rib and lobster ravioli which was a lunch special, but please don't sleep on the New Zealand lamb chops. 10/10 read more

Great service, nice people and a delicious burger. It was actually burger night and I had the Gangster Burger done special for the evening with a fried egg, Gruyere cheese, crispy prosciutto, sautéed onions, and a bunch of other things. It was really good! The atmosphere was quiet and dark wonderful. Clean and classy, I saw the servers recognizing regulars. I'd go back read more

I'm updating this review: I've visited twice since. The waitress, Jessica, is still there--her hair is no longer green, but she's there; and while she wasn't my server, she delivered my food with a sneer. The crab cakes, however, were delicious. Michelle, the server who took my order, was great. The owner is attentive. The man who diligently clears away dishes has a special place in my heart--he's always so pleasant. We may bring our party for brunch soon. read more

Went for HH. The servers/bartenders were socially pleasant and remained in tune with all customers. Portion was very filling. Taste was satisfactory. The Skinny Margarita was perfect. I plan to go back to try out some of the fan faves. read more

Darfons Restaurant & Bar - All Beef Meatball - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The food, the service, the ambiance...ALL were amazing! We were in town for a hockey tournament and heading to the airport. Had a little extra time and wanted a nice dinner and not airport food. The ambience was casual but upscale. The service was remarkable! Our waitress recommended this seared salmon and she could not have been more spot on! I loved the salmon, kale salad, sweet potato, with strawberry barbecue sauce so much I recreated it at home two days later! It was a hit at my dinner party! The pasta and hamburger were also very good but the salmon still a show! If we lived here we would definitely find this to be a regular spot for us! read more

Great food, great bartenders and close to the airport motels. My dinner stop every time I'm flying out of BNA.

Always great! Bar service is top-notch. Lots of friendly people surrounding bar. Good recommendation about wine purchase from McKenzie. The old fashioned ($8 on happy hour) is great as well. Started with their delicious Caesar salad ($7 for a small) with homemade dressing. Enjoyed the rare ahi tuna entree ($26) with asparagus and sweet potato for dinner. So delicious! Never had a meal here that wasn't scrumptious! read more

A little more higher class upper echelon place with good selection very nice food. We sat at the bar so we were served fairly quickly. The place does look a little dark in Dewar outside. It's a little more festive inside. read more

A great place to dine that is close to BNA airport. The food was great and the place was packed but luckily we came in right after 5:30 pm. The menu items are reasonably priced and foods are tasty. Definitely a great place to dine if you stay around Nashville airport area. read more

We were in search of a nice dinner that had great steak at a more affordable price than the Gaylord had to offer which is where we were staying. We made reservations at Darfons and were so glad we did. It was bustling! We were seated in the garage room which I had read in other reviews that it could be chilly and not as nice as the main room but it seemed fine to us. Our server Kevin P. was excellent - he was friendly, attentive and had great recommendations. My husband got the ribeye which was cooked perfectly to medium rare. I got the Gorgonzola crusted pork tenderloin which was very flavorful. It also came with a heaping serving of fresh green beans and tasty mashed potatoes--an excellent price for all the food. The night was topped off with the bread pudding. I forgot to take a picture of it because we made it disappear so quickly! Highly recommend! read more

Hubby and I are in Nashville for anniversary. So we were looking for a nice place for our dinner. Oh boy did we find it. The atmosphere was super nice upscale and a little on the romantic side.the dinner was excellent. Waiter recomended mozzarella sticks to start. These things were huge and so good. For dinner we split the 12 oz ribeye because we just don't eat that much anymore. It came with mashed potatoes he ordered a baked sweet potato for a side for himself. It was great.we don't normally drink but I had a 7 & 7 he had a margherita both very strong. Only disappointment was dessert I had creme brulle frankly mine is better custard had very little flavor he had key lime that again did not have much flavor though the crust was very flaky. If I didn't know it was key lime I would never have guessed. Our waiter was the best we have had in a very long time. Staff veryfriendly and welcomeing. All in all best dinning experience in a very long time . Thank you read more

Had dinner at Darfons last night, and it was a great experience! Great service, delicious l menu specials, and a lovely environment. Will 100% be back, probably sooner rather than later! read more

The ribeye was amazing. It had a great ambience. The service was amazing and would love to come back again.

We were in town for business and looking for Prime rib for one of our party and stumbled on Darfons. I can definitively say, we made the right call. 6 of us went, 4 got Prime Rib, 1 got the Ahi Tuna and I got the Filet Medallions, Oscar and WOW....The food was amazing. The vibe is a casual steak house feel, not too loud but a great crowd. Our Server, Michelle was absolutely amazing. She made excellent recommendations and was very attentive to our table, no glass ever went empty. We are going to be back in town next week and we will eat here again on Thursday ;-). read more

A wonderful variety of food options. Food came out promptly and the staff is wonderful. Impressed with the presentation as well.

Darfons Restaurant & Bar - Seared Rare Ahi Tuna* - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Darfons looked promising but I'll say I was disappointed with what I ordered. I started with the Tuna Tartare which looked beautiful, but it was a puree of tuna. I swear they put it in a pastry piping back and squirted it onto the avocado base. It was hard to enjoy as it was very toothpaste-like. Brusha, Brusha, Brusha! The Gnocchi with Crab Cakes was both good and bad. The "Maryland" Style Crab Cakes were made with shreds of crab, and no hint of a lump to be found. The chef must love just butchering proteins beyond recognition as again, the consistency was smooth with no structure. Totally NOT worth the price at all... for shame for calling this Maryland Style. The Gnocchi portion was amazing though... the lobster cream sauce was so good and it was filled with mushrooms and other bits of goodness. This is the only reason it's 3 starts instead of 2 though. Service was so-so... I waited a good 10 minutes for someone to visit my table in the bar area to even give me a menu. Then it was slow after that. I think it was just my waitress as I saw other tables get a lot more attention... Just my luck, I got the flake. If you're staying at a hotel nearby, this may be the reason to give it a try, but honestly, I don't think I'd go back. I'd probably do the Chinese Buffet or Fox's Pizza Den next door... I didn't know those still existed! read more

The food was great and the service was excellent. When you have a group of 9 you usually expect delays and problems, but we had none!

I really enjoy the casual atmosphere of Darfons. The service is always prompt and friendly. The prices are reasonable and food can be excellent. The parking can be a nightmare. But once you're inside you can relax and allow yourself to be immersed in the bubbling of the crowd. read more

After years of reading acclaim, we finally made it to Darfon's for dinner. What an amazing meal! The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. My seafood pasta arrived piping hot and was perfectly seasoned and generously filled with shrimp, scallops, salmon and mushrooms. The VooDoo pasta was a hit as well and the pork tenderloin got rave reviews. We will be back and will make a point to drive to Donelson for this amazing restaurant! read more

This place was awesome, we came here after picking up family from the airport and they got us in so quick. Their food was delicious, I had the lamb and it was phenomenal.

Visiting from CT and my friends brought me to this local gem in their neighborhood. Very welcoming elevated scratch kitchen style dining experience. Here they have a Barbecue-Spice Seared Salmon dish that is dry-rub barbecue spiced, served on smashed sweet potato with kale and a strawberry barbecue sauce (not pictured) but it was absolutely spectacular! Our server recommended we try it. Darfons wowed us with this butterscotch bread pudding. Nostalgic, delicious, well done, & well loved! read more

Jeff bartender Great personality! Phenomenal bartender knew how to pour wine correctly!!! The Caesar salad was different, it had a hint of anchovy flavoring which was surprising delicious!! I had the black angus ribeye medium rare with chimichurri and creamy mashed potato absolutely delicious. The steak was soft juicy with so much savory flavor. They introduced a new Sauvignon blanc from Chile called Aylin. Yes I know I had white wine with red meat but OMG it's hot and muggy here in Nashville. This AZ girl needed something refreshing andaaaaan did that hit the spot!!! I will definitely be coming back with some friends. Thanks Jeff for making my first impression of Nashville a Deeeelicious one read more

The steak medallion was excellent, cooked right (med rarae) and full of flavor. The chimichurri, though, was more of a thick paste and leaned away from the traditional vinegary style I prefer. Still solid overall, just not the classic chimichurri experience. read more

I picked someone up from the airport nearby, at dinner time. I wasn't familiar with any eateries in the area, so I asked one of my Yelp Elite friends for recommendations. She suggested Darfons. The parking lot was full and barely a vacant seat inside the restaurant. It appeared to be a very popular place to dine. I was excited to try it and take my friend who just moved to the Nashville area. We weren't that hungry, so we ordered soup, sautéed mushrooms, Ribeye steak, and mashed potatoes to share. The mashed potatoes were good, but the steak was absolutely horrible! The looks of it even scared me, not MR as ordered, raw and Rare. I seriously thought it came in a freezer bag, like individual hamburger patties do. It was tasteless, no seasonings, and no marble (fat that adds flavor.) We were so hungry, we took a few bites. I informed the mngr it was the worst steak I ever put in my mouth. He said, for the price, you're not going to get prime steak. I said, for $40, we should get better tasting meat than that. I added, yes some steak house are more. But, the quality blows theirs away. I also pointed out, I've had plenty of $40 steaks elsewhere that were much tastier than that. He said he took pride in their meat and apologized for my disliking. I apologized for ordering the wrong thing, and said I would never make the same mistake again. He took the steak off our bill and offered us desert. Sorry to say, deserts weren't even good. My friend got the cream brûlée, and I got the bread pudding. I requested coffee to have with mine. To my surprise, they charged for it, when I thought they were treating us due to a bad experience. Oh, the soup and mushrooms were just kind of blah, not worthy of the price. I was very disappointed in this restaurant! Our bill, which included tip, was still approx $40~ ridiculous for a crappy food and mediocre service. I will not be recommending this place, nor ever returning. To add, I was very very sick the next several days. So, I think I got food poisoning . read more
