Food and service were great in a very nice space. We had a large party on a Saturday night, enjoying a great time. We will be back soon.

We finally got around to trying this place and it did not disappoint! We had our reservations in the dining area (you can choose bar area, middle or dining; that was confusing, as we'd never been before). None of the areas are bad areas to be seated in. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated right away. Our server introduced himself, he was friendly & very attentive. Very pleased with our service! They only have 4 beers from Common John Brewery, but we knew they didn't have the full liquor license yet. We both like Common John, so we were fine with this. Coke products, tea & water were the other choices. I'm always fine with just water with my meal. My husband ordered a couple of beers...he liked both. We started with the caramelized onion dip as an appetizer. It was delicious! We ate it all! My husband ordered the pork chop & mashed potatoes & street corn as his sides. He loved everything! I tasted his pork chop & street corn and I think his pork chop was the best I've ever had! Street corn was so good...I'll order next time! I ordered the NY steak (medium rare), it was cooked perfectly. My sides were mashed potatoes & roasted brussel sprouts. Loved it all, but next time I'll order the street corn & brussel sprouts!! Yum!! We will definitely be going back!! Several items I still want to try! So happy to have Binninger-Schwartz in Manchester!! Highly recommend! read more

As someone who dines out regularly in this area and truly enjoys supporting local restaurants, I really wanted this place to live up to its "high-end" positioning. Unfortunately, after two separate visits, it has consistently fallen short in both service and execution. For a restaurant where nothing on the menu is under $22, expectations are naturally higher. On both visits, our reservation was mishandled and we were seated in the bar area instead of the dining room, despite specifically requesting dining room seating. The open seating layout--no booths--combined with an open kitchen that vents directly into the dining space resulted in a smoky environment, and we left smelling like food each time, which is not what most diners expect from an upscale experience. Service pacing was another issue. We waited over an hour for our food, with no complimentary bread or salad offered--again, unusual for a restaurant at this price point. When the food finally arrived, it was disappointing across the table. The $32 salmon was extremely dry and lacked flavor to the point that I couldn't eat it even though the server stated they only cook salmon medium which is the way I like it. The steak had burnt/charred dry edges and was supposed to be a 12oz NY strip. Look at the picture, I have never seen a NY strip this shape but my husband was ravenous so he didn't say anything and just ate it. The Brussel sprouts were mushy, and most concerning, my son's battered fish had raw batter inside. I believe in giving restaurants a fair chance, which is why we returned after the first visit. Unfortunately, two poor experiences signal a pattern, not a fluke. There are simply better options nearby--including Filo's and High Point--that offer better service, better food, and lower prices. I genuinely hope this restaurant improves, because the concept has potential, but as it stands, it does not deliver the quality or experience its pricing promises. For now, I'd recommend spending your dining dollars elsewhere. read more

Lovely restaurant in the heart of Manchester. This town really needed a non chain spot to go for a Friday night date or a special occasion. This place hits the mark for both. The food was excellent and the ambiance and decor were awesome too. Don't skip the dessert! read more

I've been for both brunch and dinner at BS. The atmosphere is very nice with an east Nashville vibe - updated auto shop and dry cleaner shop on the square turned into restaurant with roll up doors and open concept. The food was good/ especially the shrimp and grits for brunch and the corn side and Brussels for dinner. We are loving having a nicer restaurant in Manchester. Only downside- is service is lacking and you need to not be in a hurry, just ready to enjoy time there. But seems like the owner is really interested in making it work as he visits tables each time we've been there. Give it a try! read more

Both the salmon and roasted chicken entrees were very dry and overcooked. Service was slow. I think we were checked on once after our order was taken. No refill of our water. read more

So our second trip this restaurant, we brought our son to try it out. The food, per usual was very good. There was a hiccup in our dining experience though. We had 5pm reservations but got there about 7 minutes early. The hostess was either under trained or had become flustered and no was being seated. Three other groups came in when finally another employee showed up and took control. Hopefully management sees this and addresses the issue. read more

Amazing sweat tea and even better food! Everything came out fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly. Was definitely worth the trip out read more

Excellent dining experience from start to finish. Chef Brett has created a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, and the attention to detail really shows. Our server, Katie, was outstanding--friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive without hovering. We started with the meat and cheese appetizer, which was beautifully presented and full of flavor. For entrées, we had the Filet and the Pork Chop, both cooked perfectly. The filet was tender and rich, and the pork chop was juicy and well-seasoned. We finished with the Baked Alaska, which was a fantastic and memorable dessert. Great food, great service, and a restaurant that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended. read more

Last night my wife and I finally visited Binninger-Schwartz for dinner. Debbie had the New York Strip and I had their 8oz Filet. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us often. Although the steaks were very well prepared, the accompaniments were just average at best. For the prices they charge I would have expected a lot more. read more

Best meal I've had. New York Strip was cooked to perfection. Never had to wait for a refill and they have been so kind. Great atmosphere as well! read more

Binninger-Schwartz - Best meal I've had. Wow! New York Strip was cooked to perfection. - New American Near Me - Manchester, Tennessee

AVOID, food os mediocre at best. Ribeye ordered Medium and delivered Rare! Mixed Green were straight Romaine and Breakfast Potatoes were the leftover pieces that were small and overcooked! Not worth the time or money! POOR Value! read more

My wife and I live near Manchester and constantly have to drive to Murfreesboro for higher end restaurants. We eat out quite a bit, so we REALLY wanted this restaurant to work for us. To summarize, I feel it was overpriced for two people ($210 with tip for food and beer) and they underdelivered, Im hoping it improves because I do want them to figure it out! Some of the details: Parking. My wife doesn't walk well and there are only a few spots near the building, the rest are in the square. Not TOO far away, but we were happy it wasn't raining that evening. Now we know Probably didn't help that all they had was beer the night we went.We aren't beer drinkers and wish we knew this BEFORE we setup the reservation! Atmosphere was ok, they did a nice job on the building remodel. But the lack of "booths" and more private/intimate spaces doesn't make for a quiet evening celebrating an anniversary when the next person is 3' away from you. If the goal is to just feed a lot of people, mission accomplished. Corn bread was good, I liked the honey accompaniment. Steaks were decent. Not the best I ever had for the price, but ok. My wife had the filet, I had the rib eye. Both cooked perfectly. Vegetables were all undercooked. And the hassle whatever potatoes?? That accompaniment needs a complete makeover! And it was also undercooked. Service was good, but our server was younger and kept chatting up my wife. Half the reason to go out was alone time with my wife! Need more staff training. Crème brûlée looked small, but tasted good. That is OUR favorite desert and we get it a lot. Nice job on this item. But desert hadn't even come yet and our server brought the bill. My wife wasn't happy and challenged her on this. Server said she was just given two large tables and didn't want us to wait. Ok....i guess. I heard others talk about longer wait times, ours was fine. No issues there. We'll try again in 5 or 6 months and see how it goes. read more

5 for BS & Chef Brett! The vibe inside is amazing and the crew working tonight couldn't have been friendlier. Had to try the Brussels sprout appetizer (and I don't even like Brussels sprouts) but wow... they were so good. The ribeye? Absolutely mouthwatering and worth the wait. So glad BS is finally here in Manchester -- this town is blessed to have it. No doubt I'll be back soon! read more

Great food great service friendly staff finally a great upscale place in our little town

Me and my wife have been there twice. Loved it and recommend this place. Once for Valentines and another just a regular date night. We have had three different types of steak and not a single bad on. My had the filet and you could cut it with a butter knife that is how tender it was. We use to go the High Point Restaurant however this is twice as good and closer. On Pricing yes it is a little more than a normal Restaurant, like O'Charlies however the food is so much better, the service is outstanding (thank you Autumn and Paco). I have no idea why some raters like (Maggie B. or John B.) go out to eat. I personally believe that these type have a very hard time being pleased with any restaurant, or they are the typical people here in Manchester that think that J&G Pizza Restaurant is a good place to eat. So if you want good food try Binninger-Schwartz, will it be cheap no but will it be GOOD YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Already looking forward to the time. read more

This place is incredible. Wonderful food and service. I had the Smash burger, which was very tasty! My wife had the fish n Chips, which was perfect. The French fries were great! Good prices. read more

Not sure why people are complaining. Just ate and had the new york strip and Mac and potatoes. All was delicious and top shelf. I would come back. read more

Absolutely delicious! My filet was one of the best I have ever had! It was so juicy and full of flavor. Love the grilled carrots and the crème brûlée was perfect! The servers are so nice and attentive. Chef Brett tries to get around and greet everyone. It had nice music playing in the background and lovely decor. Very unique design. I will definitely be back! read more

Open app Your location Binninger-Schwartz 119 S Irwin St, Manchester, TN 37355 Restaurant J Hackworth 649 points 11 hours ago With so many other choices, take your money elsewhere. You will thank me later. So this place is pretending to be high-end, but fall short in many ways. We had a reservation, we actually showed up a little early. The hostess had to ask the supervisor if we would be allowed to have a seat for the inexcusable infraction of showing up early. Despite 10 to 15 tables open, we were told we would have to either wait or have a seat at the bar for our crime. We went to the counter, where the "tender" (since they do not have a bar) was, she told us that they still do not have a liquor license. So you can pick one of four Common John beers, soft drinks, or water. No ciders, or dozens of other non liquor choices that are available. After a short while, we were allowed back into general population and were seated. Where we sat for about 15 minutes before our server arrived. She gave us the usual half hearted apology. We decided to start with several appetizers and... beer. The appetizers were amazingly...ok. Nothing near spectacular. We placed our dinner order, just a very expensive filet and chicken. No special requests or anything that was not on what already is a very limited menu. After 30 minutes, another half hearted apology about the food taking so long. So we asked how much longer, we were told at least 20 to 30 minutes. At this point we just canceled our order, paid for the mediocre at best appetizers and left. This must be a common occurrence since the server was just like ok have a good night. An hour just for a pricey filet and chicken. From the other reviews it seems that this happens often. For a restaurant trying to present itself as high end, it is all for show. A menu without $ signs, Edison lights, and a record player does not make up for the abysmal experience we had. With choices like Glass Hollow, Filos, 122 West, and even Cracker Barrel, that has a better drink menu. Take your money and time elsewhere. I have noticed that the owner likes to make snarky comments on people who dare criticize their over priced, underwhelming experience. Definitely a red flag. No apologies, just excuses. And obviously not doing anything to improve the many, many, shortcomings that is the BS restaurant. read more

Loved everything about this place. Sleek modern design on the inside. Service was very professional and prompt. Everything we ordered was really good. The Brussels sprouts and steak were my favorites. Very fairly priced. Apps in the $10-20 range. Sides $5. Steaks range from $40-100+ so if you go there hoping to pay O'Charleys prices then you'll be upset and probably shouldn't be eating there anyways. That being said, I ordered a NY strip with two sides for less than $40. Good food, good service. read more

Great atmosphere, great service, the food was amazing, except the lamb was a little too charred. Everything else was amazing. The music could be a little too loud at times, but again, Food was pretty amazing, high recommend the bone marrow for your steak! read more

Well the restaurant was mostly empty when we showed up and when went to host was told they do reservations only and that you have to make them online they were rude about this and when asked to speak to management was told they were busy and could not be bothered. They really need to do some staff training read more

The food is great. The service is good as well. The only problem I have is they open these garage doors and that invites flies in. We had to shoo flies away from our food several times. Not what you want to do at a higher end restaurant. I hope they get this fixed. read more

Great food good service the owner has passion and it shows in his dishes. It's a big place. Can't wait to see this place succeed
