We sat at the bar, which is always our preference. We ordered some appetizers, which were great. The bar staff is very attentive and on point, especially Melanie. She made our experience even more enjoyable! We will recommend Darbys to our friends and we look forward to returning soon.

So good! Big portion sizes and the sweet potato fries are a DREAM

Fantastic tavern with amazing food! It’s the only spot I’ve found that not only has a TouchTunes jukebox, but also has the volume high enough so you can actually enjoy the music throughout the place. I’ve visited several times with groups of all sizes, and there’s always plenty of comfortable seating. A great go-to for both the food and the atmosphere.

A cool venue, but service and food is bad. It took nearly 1.5 hours for them to drop off the wrong order. No one ever came back to check on me to tell them that it was the wrong order. It seems like the whole place is run by a few 20 year olds who were not trained well.

Kristen was amazing in hospitality! She is very down to earth and accommodating. We have been coming to Darby's for the last 8 months. Kristen has always been approachable and professional since we've been dining at Darby's. We look forward to her laid back yet professional vibe. She is truly the reason we frequently visit Darby's Tarvern. She showed up for an all day shift in inclement weather and we definitely appreciate her dedication ❤️. We hope her commute home was safe on this icey night. We respect your selfless dedication on such an icy night! Kristen, you rock! Be safe and we'll see you next week!

Ordered a steak and got smashed hamburger, the catfish bites were child sized and I know they can do better. Absolutely ridiculous, I will never recommend that garbage again. So disappointed in Berry Hill.

We stopped in not knowing anything about Darby's Tavern. The service was awesome and the food was outstanding.
Darby's Tavern is a true local's insider gem. We take all of our visiting family and friends to Darby's. The food, if you can even call it "bar food" is better than good. It's an outstanding meal all around. The service only makes it better. Best kept secret in South Boston!

We ate at this restaurant earlier in the week on a sightseeing trip. And on that trip, I would’ve left a 4 star easy. Although my husband didn’t overly love his meal, we swapped and he was thoroughly satisfied. But on Sunday we returned after booking a 3 day weekend stay, and checked closing time..8:00. We went for a walk around the trails and returned at 7:27. Waitress told us as soon as we walked in that the kitchen was closed for the night. So the party of 4 in front of us (party of 3) and the next 2 couples were turned away. I know restaurants need to close at a specified time, and we usually never cut it that close, but I was surprised at the attitude that we were a nuisance just by walking in. And it’s maybe a good idea to post that the kitchen closes a half hour before actual closing so people won’t waste their time. When the other couple turned away complained to the desk clerk, he said he had no idea why they’d be closing early, they usually didn’t do that. Plenty of restaurants in South Boston happy to serve us, so we didn’t go hungry. Not sure I’ll return, even if we stay at the hotel again.
We were here late afternoon and ordered off the dinner menu. Husband had the marinated stead with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetable. He said the steak was very good. I had the salmon with aspargus and broccolli. Aspargus and broccolli were good the salmon was over cooked and dry. I thought both dinners could have been a little warmer, broccolli was cold before I could finish it.

I was very disappointed with the food. The menu had the Mothers Day Brunch listed as having assorted cheesecakes and mashed potatoes as one of the sides. Desserts were key lime pie, shortcake, bread pudding and there was no cheesecake. The only side was grilled vegetables..no potatoes of any sort. I will not be back for any buffets…waste of money for a very special m event.

Fantastic place!! Kristen, Jamie, and Selena are amazing and the food is the best around. If you’re in South Boston VA and don’t stop by shame on you.
