Review Sperry's Restaurant - Nashville

What a meal! Old school food executed impeccably. We came to celebrate two birthdays and everyone left happy. All the food was excellent but please don’t skip the crab cake or the bananas foster; both are special! Do also get a side of steak sauce: a unique, sweet umami bomb. Our waitress, Chrissy, was exactly what you want in a server: thoughtful, knowledgeable, guiding us in our ordering to ensure we all left satisfied. She was personable and fun, genuinely enhancing our celebratory mood. I get that novelty gets you on “must eat” lists, but if I ever come to Nashville again, Sperry is where I’m eating!

Not surprised that this amazing steakhouse has been in business since 1974, just disappointed we didn’t find it sooner! Loved the warm atmosphere. They even had Halloween decorations. Everything on the salad bar was extremely fresh. Chopped steak, one of my personal favorites, was wrapped in bacon and one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommend and we will be back.

We love Sperrys for any occasion or just a good night out! The salad bar is always top notch, the featured entrees are always so special, steaks are perfectly cooked and service is above par! Tonight we had James as our server and he was phenomenal! Our meal was paced perfectly, he was two steps ahead of us at all times and so professional! Will be back for our next special occasion.

Our server Julie was perfect. The food was perfect. This was one of the best meals I've ever had, and I make it a point to try out some of the best restaurants in any city I travel to. I had the Filet Oskar and the Bananas Foster for dessert. Each time you take those first few bites of both meals, your body stops all other functions except for chewing and processing how flavorful and delicious the food is. The rest of my party shared similar sentiments, as well. All three meals and our server were nothing short of perfection. Kudos to the bartender for the well-balanced Vodka and Club Sodas that helped me wash down this meal, as well!

We dined at Sperry’s for our friend Daniel’s birthday. Lovely traditional steakhouse atmosphere and the food was fantastic for the price range. Molly, our server, was amazing, attentive, and charismatic. My favorite steakhouse in Nashville!

I don't think we've ever had crab cakes as good as Sperry's. Rib eye was cooked to perfection and the service was attentive. Overall exceptional experience.

We always love coming to Sperry's to enjoy good food, drinks, and over vibe. The service is ALWAYS top notch and we've never been disappointed with anything. This is our new favorite go-to spot for special occasions and just when we're in the mood for good steak in an not-so-stuffy atmosphere. We had mini lamp chops, ribeye's, brussels and fries. Everything was delicious. I tried their sticky pudding dessert for the first time and am IN LOVE!

My wife and I visited a couple weeks ago to celebrate our birthdays and we were not disappointed. Excellent ambience and food. Our sever Jonathan was fantastic. He was helpful with our appetizer and main course selections and very attentive to our table. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had. We will definitely return for another visit.

Great steaks sides and drinks. Our server, Brie, was personable, and professional. The atmosphere is a wonderful dark casual. I didnt need the salad bar, better to have a salad brought to the table as you have to navigate the whole restaurant, past the entrance, with an open plate of lettuce. Otherwise ingredients are fresh. Plenty of on site parking

We had a wonderful experience at Sperry's. Our server, Julia, was extremely accommodating and attentive, our food was wonderful, all the extra staff made us feel attended to from water refills, check-ins, photo, etc. Our food was also delicious and we enjoyed a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We will definitely be back and recommend to others!

We are not locals but wanted to go out for a nice steak to celebrate our anniversary. Sperry's came highly recommend but was very disappointing. Very crowded especially when making table side desserts. Had to lean away (out of my seat) while staff made other patrons food. Waiter was not friendly or helpful and didn't appear to be interested in helping us. Ordered salad bar and was never told where it was or how that worked. Remember we have never been here before. After my food arrived I asked about the salad and was show where it was but the room was so crowded I never got salad. I feel we MAY have had a different experience with a different server but in the end we didn't. Overall it felt like a high priced meal in the good old boys club we didn't belong to! Needless to say we will not be bak when we come to Nashville again.

The food selection was just right not overly confusing the quality of all the meals in our party of seven was outstanding all very pleased with taste, portion size and presentation. It's a busy place and quite loud. If your looking for intimate this is not for you, but we enjoyed the atmosphere and had a great meal great family time and felt very comfortable. Oh the drinks we had at the bar were half price happy hour nice touch.

OMG! One of the best steaks I have ever had! We started with escargot and the shrimp bisque - both were delicious. I had the bone-in filet, and my wife had the 6 oz bacon wrapped filet, and we split the garlic mashed potatoes - everything was superb. The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert we split was the perfect ending to our meal. And the service was outstanding, too - our waitress (Hillary) was really on top of things, and did a great job. Her sense of humor, recommendations, and attention to detail were all top notch. Great job! Thank you for a fabulous dinner!

One of the most delicious meals I’ve ever had and I’m not exaggerating. We had the lobster bisque, caesar salads, twice baked potato, Red Snapper special, and twin lobster tails. We finished off with the banana foster dessert for two. Every single bite was outstanding. We had Rebecca as our server and she was very informative and sweet. The wine was great, too! We came for the first time for our 6th year anniversary and will definitely be back. They even took our photo and printed it out for us in a card frame. Definitely a great experience!!
Casey DeWitt
This was our first time and wont be our last. The food was amazing, as well as the service. We had bananas foster for desert. They make it table side and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend trying this place.
Michelle Stephen
Scott was our server. He was awesome! Our food and service were beyond outstanding! Would very highly recommend!
Will Nelms
Excellent food and service. Very old school, feels like a dining experience from a different decade. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Not my best Sperry’s experience by far tonight. Server was great but the pace in which our food was served was less than optimal. We had just sat down to our salad when our entire meal came. I don’t come to an expensive restaurant to be rushed so that was was more than disappointing. My center cut filet was dry, the creamed spinach was loaded with garlic, the grilled artichoke was honestly terrible. We always look forward to our holiday meal here. Will have to rethink.
Rachel Graham
My husband and I ventured here for our anniversary! It was worth the drive! We had the filet Oskar, and the 14 ounce bone in ribeye, twice baked potatoes asparagus and Ceasars salad, then for dessert we had the banana fosters for two. I cannot praise it enough! The steak was amazing, absolutely melted in your mouth, and my oh my the banana fosters!!! Wow!!! We will become regulars here!!
Sheila Baldwin James
First time in Nashville and our first time at Sperry’s, and it won’t be our last visit. From the atmosphere to the old school salad bar to the drinks and awesome food, this is a favorite for us! The lamb chops and sweet potato fries appetizer was to die for! Hubby got his steak Pittsburgh style and was not disappointed. I had the sword fish and it was amazing. Then we ended our night with the peppermint ice cream drizzled with chocolate, oh my!
Keith Marcum
Just an amazing place! The food & service will never disappoint. It’s our absolute favorite!!!
Kim Smock Hupp
The heirloom tomato salad was rich and delicious. The prime rib was melt in your mouth tender and my husbands ribeye was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed our dinner very much.
Samantha Spohn
Sperry’s has been a staple in my life for 18 years. I adore this restaurant and it feels like home when I’m there. Connie is my favorite server. I always, always ask for her when I’m there. The salad bar is my favorite thing ever. Sperry’s is just the best. ♥️🍷
Greg Holleman
The food was absolutely horrible! Way overpriced for what you get! My wife ordered a med well 14 oz ribeye. When we received our food the steak was overdone and tough! Sent it back the second one was med rare! Sent it back and then they burnt the steak! My rack of lamb was awful! The chefs can’t cook! They salad bar was the best part! Very small and cramped on there like sardines! I do not recommend!

Had a nice dinner here with good friends on Halloween night. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. The Bananas Foster for dessert was to die for!!
