    It has terrible service, but good food. They don't honor that the customer is always right. I never have given a bad review

    It is what it is, and you'll hear that line at least 5 times by the people around you, probably…read morehear someone complain that that is not a statement, and another correct them that it is Zen done redneck. This place exists atop its perch overlooking Elysian Fields (the resting place of the souls of virtuous Krogers and Jiffy Lubes) This bar, situated on a little hill next to a couple of gas stations, is a little unassuming - I've been there on various occasions the past few years, most recently with a group called Beer Church Nashville. Every time something new and wonderful happened. The beer selection isn't that great, the music is too loud when there's a band, the place works or it doesn't for you... you'll know it after a beer, but not before. It's one of those places where I only went to see a friend, and would have backed right on out had I not met a row of rather misjudged people. The pool tables were ok but not fabulous the last time i was there, the bartenders were very nice, I was told repeatedly that they had new management and to give them a try - however i did not know what the old management had done differently or wrong - that's some lore I'll have to dig up some day. The place has pretty decent parking, it also has pretty eagle-eyed cops who patrol the corner so really, play it safe and steal a police car before going and don't go with broken headlights or taillights (my old roommate did, she got searched for 45 minutes as evidently admitting you are going to that bar and have not been drinking is suspicious) It's not a place to bring a date, well, not my place to bring a date. The crowd's been drunk, half naked, rowdy, and all-about-to-fight but nothing ever seems to happen that's bad. At least when I've been. Your reaction will vary, I tend to dig dive bars that are dive bars not not hipster hideaways, and although the Parliament smokers would be welcome here, PBR is generally drunk by the patrons due to generations of selective taste breeding.

    Now under new management and renamed Jack's Tavern, this dive bar off of Nolensville has an…read moreinteresting mix of people and entertainment. Karaoke is offered and some nights there's a band. There are two pool tables that only cost .75 a game. Also they've redone the back patio and you can rent that out for parties. The owner (Jack) is a great guy and Dave (the acting manager) is quite helpful. First night we went in he bought us our first round and gave us drink tickets for when we come back.

    First time, but not the last time here, and my first impression was very nice place to come and…read moreenjoy a brew and a game. Saturday or Sunday sports spot for sure. Was greeted by the manager as I searched for a spot to enjoy a couple of College games. I would have given a 5 star rating but the initial server didn't come back when I told him I was waiting on someone and watching the game. There were times when I needed some things and thankfully the other server saw I had a need and came to the rescue. That was greatly appreciated. The tip was definitely left for her, but I'm sure it may have been shared. I had the bacon cheese burger and fries and the fries were delicious; so was the burger, but the fries were top tier! Definitely a place I'd frequent.

    Came here because I got in late around 9:30 pm and there was nothing else open around the Marriot…read more It's a restaurant in the Sonesta hotel nearby. Simple and nice decor with a lot of TVs. I decided to sit at the bar since the championship game of the World Baseball Classic was playing. Too bad USA lost against Venezuela but back to the restaurant . I got the grilled chicken with whipped potatoes and broccolini. It was decent and very filling. The bartender was very friendly and food came out fast. It was an average meal but glad I was able to find a decent place nearby to eat.

    This place was recommended by our hotel clerk as it was nearby and had numerous menu choices…read moreaccording 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!@

    I have visited this establishment many times (I've brought in people from out of town and I've…read moredined alone and with family) and have had amazing servers, Tory and Kemma, especially. Today I had a server with green hair--she never introduced herself: she's the server with the green hair. This server decided to ignore our table and talk to another table at length about Ireland, Scotland, her fiancé, etc. I had to wait approximately 15 minutes for my drink, which was in part due to the fact that she neglected us. I sat there with my hand raised as if I was in elementary school: the man who cleared away dishes looked at me sympathetically and other servers glanced at her and shook their heads as if this was commonplace for her. When I finally had to audibly say, "Excuse me", she acted as if doing her job was an inconvenience: the eye roll was inappropriate and rude, seeing as how I had to wait for so long. This happened again when we needed sweet tea refills. We were going to order more food to go, but the service made us want to leave: terrible service affects the restaurant's bottom line. I certainly hope this will never happen again and that I can continue to spend money at Darfon's. If not, I don't mind traveling elsewhere.
