on Citysearch Jul 18, 2009We always make a point to eat at Demos' when we are in Nashville for a concert. It is close to everything downtown and has great food and service! The blackened chicken pasta sauce is to die for!!! The chicken and rice... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2009The food is outstanding! No, I don't own the place. I am a customer who is offended by these BIAS reviews. I have been eating there for years and have never had a bad meal, bad service or a unsanatary enviorment. Demos is... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2009This is the perfect locale for Italian food that doesn't overcharge for hype like Amerigo. The service was impeccable; I've never been served faster anywhere, anytime (excluding fast food). I can easily recommend... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 17, 2008The food was very average and uninteresting. I love Italian food and have been to many Italian restaurants in many cities. Even for a family style restaurant I was not impressed. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 04, 2008I truly wish that there were a rating that was LOWER than poor. This was truly one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. It is not Italian food in any way, in fact, it hardly passed for food. I was absolutely starving and... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 14, 2008This place is very reasonable. They also bring as much bread as you want and the service was great. Their special was only $4.25!! Not a super large portion, but you also got a side salad. If your down on broadway check it... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 07, 2008My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant tonight and we got right in. The staff and our waitress Maria was awesome. She suggested the KC Strip, I like steak, and lets just say it was unbelievable. I ordered my steak... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2008I think the comment below was written by a competitor. I'm from Alabama and many times my parents to Nashville they ask about going to Demos. The food is wonderful for the inexpensive price they charge. We've always... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2008I ate at this restaurant 5 yrs ago during a visit to Nashville, and the great impression that they left still lingers to this day! We had a 2-hr wait before we were seated, and I can honestly say it was worth every minute of... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 22, 2008i went to Demos on the recommendation of the tour guide, it apparently had quite a reputation So i expected much. I could not have been more disappointed. We waited two hours for the abysmal, overcooked, over-season... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2008I appreciate the attempt at uniqueness with steak and spaghetti. They do one (spaghetti) rather well here. But they should probably stick with that. The steak here is one of the worst I've ever had. Three bites and I... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008Have eaten here many times and found the same good food and service each time. Perhaps the best value in town. Menu has sufficient variety and food quality as well as service quality are excellent and a very resonable... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 08, 2008We went to Demo's on a Monday night; after arriving in town. A friend had recommended this restaurant. We both ordered the sirloin steak and it did not disapoint. It was cooked to order, juicy and had a delicous... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 10, 2008While the service was adequate, the nicest thing I can say about the food is that it was better than starving.....if only marginally. The spinach dip was a horrible assemblage of soured garlic, olive oil and spinach... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 19, 2008IF YOU STOP BY THIS PLACE YOU NEED TO TRY THE CHICKEN SOUP IT IS AWESOME IT TASTES REALLY GOOD. AND THE BREAD THEY BRING TO DIP IN YOUR SOUP IS REALLY REALLY GOOD. JUST TRY IT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 07, 2007I don't get it. Went only once for lunch. Very little interesting on the menu, ended up getting spaghetti, which was so sweet it was inedible. Very ordinary and less than most casual family dining places. Not reason... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2007I have to have the recipe for the Chicken and rice soup! It was wonderful! We managed to eat there twice while in Nashville. Yes the line can be long but it's worth the wait. If you go around 2 in the afternoon it's a perfect... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 31, 2006It's difficult to give any kind of complete review on a place that we were never able to get seated. We were told 45 minutes for well over 3 hours. The 45 minute wait never changed. Finally, we asked for a Manager when we... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 19, 2006This is probably not the place to bring a first date but if you are looking for solidly good food in a very relaxed, casual atmosphere this is the place to go. It is also great for lunch but can be quite a wait. The place has... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2006My family was in town for a concert at the Ryman on Dec. 7th and wanted to find a place to eat close by. Did an internet search and found Demos'. Came here and read all the reviews, even the bad ones. We decided to give Demos'... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2006I have to say that the reviews that are not good must be coming from people who expect too much of the world in general. The VAST majority of these reviews are incredibly satisfied, even thrilled! We were highly... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 24, 2006If you are looking for good steaks at a decent price, this is the place...I don't know about you but I think most of the places around Nashville are overpriced. I have eating at Demo's at least 50 times, and still rules my... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 24, 2006I consider Demos' one of the best all time restaurants in the Tennessee. Blackened Chicken paste or potato, yeahhhh, its a heavy sauce that has a flavor that punches you in the mouth. Their are a lot of steak houses in... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 09, 2006We always take our out of town guests to Demo's if they ask for a local favorite. They always end up loving it and we have an excuse to go that way. Whenever they come back to town, they say they have to eat there again. I... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 31, 2006I live about 3 hours from Nashville, but every time I visit I have to eat at Demo's! By far the best steak for a great price, and try the spaghetti alfredo, delicious! Salad is bland, so get the baked chicken soup instead,... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 15, 2006I was in town for business for 3 days and ate at DEMOS each night. Had the Top Sirloin the first night and it was great, had blackened chicken pasta the next night and it was great and had their filet of beef and it was... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 08, 2006If you want anything besides a daily special, you will end up spending more money than you would have anticipated here. Their food is nothing special and I don't particularly think their service is good. I don't get... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 31, 2006You should get here early they are the best and they fill up fast. Demos is right near the water in Downtown Nashville and they are awesome. The food is great and the service outstanding. They are my only choice for food... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 22, 2006I was tipped off to Demo's from a guy in Printer's Alley! Let me tell you this is the place to eat downtown. I could not believe that this delicious food was this cheap! It is nice to find a good place that is not a chain! I... (more)
