My husband and I ate here for dinner on 1/21/26. We were on an overnight getaway and found the resort as a perfect place for us to stay. We were so appreciative of having this tavern onsight and available for late dinner. We ordered the hamburger steak meal and the fall salad. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I especially enjoyed the baked mac and cheese and the green beans with bacon (recommended by the server!) The salad was as expected, and the bacon especially very tasty!

The food here was amazing! We had a party of 8 and everyone commented on how great the food was. This place is a hidden jewel. I wish our town had a restaurant like this. The fried pickles were wonderfully breaded/fried, the club sandwich (lots of meat), and my daughter loved the pretzel bites. My husband said the burger was great! You can’t go wrong here, the food is authentic. If we had a longer stay I would have wanted to try more items on the menu. If you stay at the Berry Hill Resort, it’s steps away from your hotel room :).

My wife and I were in town for a wedding recently and our stay was phenomenal. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the mansion. The salmon dinner was delicious and my wife loved the chicken pot pie. Lexi and Melanie were so gracious and their service was wonderful. We look forward to another visit soon.

Melanie was absolutely amazing! She made our entire experience unforgettable. We had a party of 20, and she handled everything with grace, professionalism, and such a positive attitude. She was attentive, friendly, and made everyone feel taken care of. Having her as our bartender was truly a joy for our entire group. She kept things running smoothly and brought such a great energy to our night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

So I recently moved to town and am so happy I found this place. Darby's Tavern is a cool place to eat, drink and hang out. There are 4 different rooms in the tavern, plus the bar area, all decorated very cool, and one even has a FREE pool table! The manager, Crystal, is so accommodating and helpful. She even went out of her way to get diet tonic just for me! Now that's what I call customer service. Such a pleasant atmosphere. The food is top notch here also. They have the BEST jalapeno poppers I have ever had in my life! The wings are outstanding, burgers are on point! If you haven't been and are ever in the area plan a stop here.
