Bumping an old thread.... any recommendations "near" BNA (saythe triangle bordered roughly by Briley Pkwy, BNA, and the town of Hermitage)? Price range for dinner should be <$35/person most of the time, but the occasional splurge is ok.

I've been going back and forth to Nashville for the last 11 years for work, but for the last 4-5 it's only been two overnights per year. Our team just landed a more travel-intensive project which will have us there 3-4 nights monthly for the next 15 months. We're going to be staying out near BNA at the beginning, but might move downtown if the new Homewood Suites (our team is Hilton-loyal) will extend the state government rate to us as contractors when it opens in November.

Willie mentioned Darfon's, which I end up at a lot as it's close to the airport and the airport hotels. Nothing fancy, don't get too ambitious and you'll be fine. The service is a bit pokey. He also mentioned Bar-B-Cuite, and we were really underwhelmed when we tried it - it's better than the awful Whitt's at the airport, but not great.
