    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.

    My wife and I stopped into TennFold Brewing after I was granted the honor of "you choose the place,…read moreI don't care." It was our first time trying TennFold Brewing and my gamble absolutely paid off. We were greeted right away and the whole staff was incredibly friendly. Our server, Jamie, took great care of us and was quick to refill my wife's drink before we even asked. Fantastic service all around! I ordered the Tenneshootoe & Smoked Apple Pizza and can't recommend it enough. The rich gorgonzola and ham were really complimented by the sweetness of the bourbon-smoked apples and hot honey. Now I'll struggle with wanting to order that again next time rather than trying something new.

There were fans blowing which was nice for a hot day. The patio is completely shaded and there are lots of seats both inside and out. Jaime was our waitress and she was outstanding! She made us feel welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. One of my favorite things waiters do is bring out another drink before the first one is done. Those waiters are a dime a dozen and Jaime came back with a refill when my first cup was half full. My husband ordered a pizza and I ordered the blueberry chicken sandwich. I think that was the first time in my entire life that I ordered a sandwich at a restaurant and holy moly, am I glad that was my first! The bread was crispy on the outside and had a nice sponginess on the inside. The pesto and blueberry combination was so delicious and unique. My husband's pizza was really good, too. He kept stealing my fries (rightfully so, I could order an entire bowl of those by themselves). The sweet tea was comforting and my husband's IPA was smooth (I had taken a pain reliever prior to lunch so I only had a small sip). I want to come back for drinks on the patio again because his beer tasted great. TennFold Brewing is awesome and was definitely the best choice for our first few days in our new home state. We will be back for more delicious food and drinks!

We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious! Love how bright the inside is. I will visit again when I am in Nashville next.

    This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing…read more If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

    Internal policies and zero autonomy for the manager, triumphs over customer experience…read more My group of 8 asked to be seated in a half empty restaurant. Apparently only one section of the restaurant can accommodate 8 people and we were asked to wait. Despite calling ahead and confirming there was no wait for our group. We were flexible and suggested our group take two booths side by side. And was told no. Two different server sections and "policy " would not allow the split of servers. We happily suggested two servers, two checks, at two tables. Problem solved...but was told no, citing "policy". Ok...how about those two empty booths 4 feet away from each other? Are they in the same section? Yes, but we cannot split you up because you came in as a group? "That's our policy" Again the restaurant was half empty on a Sunday during brunch. And yet they could not seat us in separate booths that were right next to each other?? My questions are as follows: 1) Are you able to forward me a snippet of this "policy" the manager spoke of? The one that says groups cannot be split up at their request into adjacent booths with different servers and checks? 2) Does this policy also state that once server sections are drawn in dry-erase marker at the hostess stand, they are immoveable and permanent regardless of customer experience? 3) Let's assume for a moment that the ENTIRE restaurant was empty, except for a party of 8 in the dedicated larger party section. Moments later, another party of 8 walks in....would policy prohibit that 2nd party from being able to sit until the first party finished? Customer experience gets 1 star. This was our 2nd and final attempt at Keke's in Mt. Juliet. The first attempt - we made it into a booth with 7 people (one on the end), but the restaurant didn't have forks. Back-ordered or something? How do you open without forks? Plastic was not the solution.

    I've been wanting to find a great Irish Pub in Mid TN, and I'm so happy Yelp lead me here!…read more I arrived around 6pm on a weeknight - there was plenty of parking in the lot, and our party was seated immediately. Not long after we ordered, there was live music, which set the perfect tone for the evening. One thing I really appreciated was the noise level in the low ceilinged room. The music brought energy and a great atmosphere, but was never too loud. We ordered the Scotch Eggs (a must!), fish & chips, bangers & mash, and Bailey's cheesecake. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot! The fast service, great vibes, and incredible service have me dreaming of my next visit to Mcnamara's!!

The staff are always nice and the food is always Delicious. They serve Apps, Salads, Sandwiches, Sides, Soup of the day and Have a Lunch Menu. They also serve some Irish Classics like Shepherds Pie, Irish Stew, Bangers and Mash, Fish & Chips and my personal favorite-- Corned Beef & Cabbage. They have a lounge upstairs and live Irish music almost every night starting around 6:00 p.m. You can go to their website and look at the calendar to see whether artists are playing on what specific night. If you want a little bit more quiet atmosphere, they have a dining area on the other side of the restaurant that is separate from the Stage and Bar Area, which BTW they have a full bar serving Irish Whiskeys, Beers and everything else you could want. It's located in Donelson about halfway in between the Airport and Opry Mills Mall. It's definitely worth checking out. They are closed on Sunday and Monday.. Slan libh

Music wasn't too loud, the interior design is great, comfortable chairs and booths. Very cool bar. Price point is perfect. The food was solid, my friend loved his, I think I just got the wrong thing. I got the tortellini with chicken (blackened). It just felt like the chicken was premade and then heated up. Same with the pasta - like it was store bought (6/10) I heard great things about this place and the menu is very strong, but if I could do it over again I would've ordered the French dip or the burger. Never got to try the apps which also look ridiculously good (wagyu skewer bites, rock and roll shrimp, etc)
