Experience was great. Service was exceptional. They have a salad bar which is very different and enjoyable. The strip was prepared very nicely. The ribeyes were a little thin. The building was dated but that's part of the charm. It's a little out of the way from where we live. But would go back. read more

Salad bar and cheese bread were great. Steaks were expensive and mediocre quality. I've had better (and much cheaper) at outback and tx roadhouse. Fried shrimp was only fried shrimp paste or diced shrimp. Not the expected quality of a good restaurant. We won't be back. read more

I went here on a date with a person who only enjoys vegan food. She was able to get the unlimited salsa option and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the lamb chops, which included 4, and a baked potato. The good and the service were both great. If you're looking for a more quiet ambience and something a little more on the romantic side, this is the place to go. It is pricey for the amount of food you get, so make the most out of that salad bar, which does have good options. read more

EVERYTHING WENT WELL!!! We went there for a late dinner last Tuesday (6/23/26) and enjoyed the most fantastic steaks imaginable. Our waitress Tracey was so much fun and knew her stuff. She wasn't afraid to recommend things and was spot on. Monica who assisted Tracey was just as much fun and helped Tracey make our evening absolutely amazing! We can't wait to go back!!! read more

It's absolutely horrible now. It's night and day from the last few years. I can tell their dressing I had was definitely not homemade. We will never go back. read more

Best food and wonderful atmosphere!! Don't let me forget to mention they have a REAL salad bar!!!! Fabulous It's a Perfect place for one person dining alone as well as a couple or group lots of rich history by this family owned business. Well worth the trip read more

I have been to The Hermitage Steakhouse many times and have had a good experience most times. However, our server this time was in such a hurry to get us out that our entire experience was ruined. We were there for an entire meal including dessert, (which we had to have go because we felt so rushed), we were there less than an hour for everything. Even her sharp tone was uncomfortable. And considering what we paid, we should have had the opportunity to take our time and enjoy our meal. Unfortunately, I will not be back due this experience. This was a special night for us and even though the food is good, ambiance and good service means a lot when paying over $500.00. read more

Our gang of four enjoyed our steak dinner. Friendly, attentive service. Steaks come with a single choice of side, salad bar, and bread if you ask for it. Salad bars take a lot of attention and was kept clean. We chose a Ribeye and Filet Mignon cooked to our order medium-rare with fully loaded baked potato. Seating was mostly couples and tables of four. Larger groups were in another room. Full bar. Private parking lot. Open for dinner Tues-Sunday, lunch Tues-Fri, and brunch only on Sunday. Convenient from BNA airport and The Hermitage Overall good value for a steak dinner. The steak was of very good quality and taste. Reservation is essential. Two Small Gripes: * The baked potato had the consistency of a steamed baked potato * Bread was soft like you get at a wedding at a Holiday Inn. read more

Used to be great, but we went there this September, and the quality of service as well as the food has really gone down.

Went for a quick date night - hadn't been here in several years. You have to text a number for reservations which is interesting but not a problem. It was a Friday night and got a reservation the day before. It was like 3/4 full at 6:30 and we were sat quickly. The waitress was very nice, we ordered the bubble bread, and I got a 6oz filet with salad bar and baked potato and husband got the 12iz ribeye with the same. The bubble bread was pretty good, very cheesy. Salad bar here is always memorable, 40 options or something like that of toppings. My filet was pretty good, they do their steaks on the grill so there's char flavor but not much else. Husbands ribeye was more of a medium than med rare and pretty thin - same comments on the flavor. Loaded baked potatoes were huge. Steaks are probably a little overpriced but still left full and happy. read more

Food is usually excellent, but today was overcooked and dry. Sweet potato was kinda burnt, salad was ok, very pale lettuce, should add spinach. Overpriced for what we had. read more

Customer Service: Good, but I wish it was easier to communicate with making reservations, etc. Inside: waitress was good, when you get put off in the cut, you kind of get forgotten about. Food: I'll be honest, the food for the price is fine? Like. The bubble bread is not good. The steak again for the price wasn't the best and i was disappointed. The salad bar is the best part of this entire thing. I loved that. read more

We had reservations for four at 5 pm. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. Our waitress greeted us and asked for our drink order. Drinks arrived and we ordered. Food arrived shortly and we ate. One dessert was ordered after the main course. Our food was good. At this point we had been in the restaurant approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Our waitress came back to our table and said she had reservations for 8 at 6:30 and they needed our table. We were politely asked to leave. We were the only table asked to leave. Other people were still in the restaurant. MY wife and I have been going to the Hermitage Steak House for more than 40 years. I have never been asked to leave if they were busy or not. I am not sure who owns the restaurant?? I hope they read this. I do not see myself going back to the Hermitage Steak House ever again. Sad because I have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. read more

Once a Favorite, Now a Major Disappointment I'm genuinely sad to write this, as the Hermitage Steakhouse used to be one of my favorite local spots. But after my most recent visit, I won't be returning. To start, the drinks were a letdown -- the tonic in my cocktail was completely flat, making it taste more like tap water than anything else. But the worst part of the evening? a quarter of the way through my overpriced 12 oz ribeye, I pulled a long black hair out of my mouth. Absolutely disgusting. For a place that once prided itself on quality, this was a shockingly bad experience. And on our anniversary, no less. Between the lackluster service, poor attention to detail, and a kitchen that clearly needs to step up its standards, it's safe to say this place has really gone downhill. Sad to see a Nashville staple lose its touch. read more

This place is so delicious and the service was spot on. 10-10 recommend. The ambiance is also very nice and clean. Salad bar was the best in town. read more

Hermitage Steak House - The best salad bar in Nashville. - Steakhouses Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Moving here from Wisconsin, this place gives us that great supper club vibe we love so much. Staff has always been super friendly. Their salad bar is OUT OF THIS WORLD. And their Sunday brunch is great too. Steaks are always a solid choice. Opt for the side of grilled asparagus. Even my asparagus-hating husband loved it! The duck wontons are fantastic-we get them every time. The tuna appetizer is also fantastic, as is the bubble bread. read more

Very good food ! Great service and nice atmosphere ! Salad bar is very fresh ! Great ribeye and the appetizers also very good ! Highly recommended! read more

The lack of amenities here besides basic food is disappointing to me. Laminate tables, no table cloths, basic restaurant grade plates and flatware....,cheap. Presentation is non existent! We ordered steaks with baked potatoes...which is what we got....two brown lumps on a cheap white plate. We looked at each other with raised brows when it was brought out. Not appetizing at all, although the steaks were good. But not the best I've ever had by a long way. I can't say it was better than a Long Horn Steak house, who has better service and linen. Service was just adequate. She did her job but without asking if we wanted another drink or if our meal was correct. The steaks were cooked as ordered, I will give them that. We had to flag her from her employee chat to get our bill to leave. The salad bar was just a salad bar. Not more or less than one would expect. Soooo. this was just average and didn't meet expectations. We won't go there again even though it's close. Worth while to drive a little farther. I wonder if they are coasting on a reputation they earned a long time ago. read more

Service & food were outstanding! We really enjoyed hermitage steakhouse for our date night! Being local to Nashville we've driven past here thousands of times but have never stopped for dinner until now! In a city of trendy restaurants, Hermitage was a nice chance of pace of just being old school Nashville! It's difficult to figure out how to make a reservation at hermitage steakhouse considering there's no instructions on their Facebook (no website) & no one ever answers the phone number listed on Facebook & google! The host told us when we walked in you have to text a specific number they give you to make a reservation (how would we have known this? It's not published anywhere!) But good news is we were able to walk in and kill time at the bar while waiting for a table. Julia the bartender was awesome! She had great drink & food recommendations. We had drinks & an appetizer & then our table was ready. The lamb chops & the pork chops were both outstanding! Our server Tyler was very efficient & very kind! We could not have asked for a better server! There are very few salad bar places left in Nashville & hermitage does the salad bar right! Everything on the salad bar was fresh! & the salad bar was very clean! Overall we had a great experience at hermitage steakhouse & we'll return on another date night...now that we know how to make reservations...(4 stars because of reservation hassle) read more

Hermitage Steak House - Duck wontons appetizer! - Steakhouses Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

We enjoyed our visit to the Hermitage Steak House. The dining rooms aren't large so we had about a 30 minute wait for a table on a Friday evening. Apparently they do take reservations, so next time we will give that a try. Our waiter was exceptional. He was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I both had ribeye steaks, and they were cooked to a perfect medium. The salad bar was also well stocked with Romaine and spinach, cheese, bacon, cottage cheese, pasta salad, and other fresh vegetables. It was a great precursor to our meal. I would love to try out the brunch menu offered on Sunday, so we are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Oddly enough, they offer a really good Salas bar. The service is friendly and quick. The decor is a but dated, but it adds to the appeal I. My opinion read more

Fresh, cold salad bar is excellent. Ribeye steak quality just ok for the price- too fatty. Service was ok, getting non-chemical half n half for coffee seemed challenging. read more

I love the food the atmosphere and especially the food bar. The service is awesome and everything always looks fresh and nice. We love to take friends there when they are in town. Keep up the good work Hermitage steakhouse. read more

Great experience. Salad bar is great. So few restaurants have them but thus one is done right; lots of choices. I had the filet and it was prepared perfectly. Service was great. Very bust at this restaurant but our waiter was very attentive to our party of 5. read more

So our second time back. Went with friends who wanted to try this place out. Pretty sure they were disappointed as neither finished their main courses - salmon and a steak. My filet was a bit dry. While not bad, it honestly was just average. Certainly not special. Now the thing that was a surprise was the salad bar. Much better than I remembered. Everything was fresh and the staff did a great job replenishing items as they were consumed. Service was outstanding. However, really wasn't a $100 meal for two. There are chain restaurants that serve a steak that is better for about two-thirds the price. For a better value, you might want to try one of those, or spend just a little more and go downtown to a place like Del Frescos. We went on a Thursday night and glad we had reservations. This place is popular - but the clientele is definitely on the older side. All that said, not a bad place for a date night - nice atmosphere - but I really don't see the attraction nor do I understand why the place got so crowded after 7 pm. Maybe this place just doesn't click for me. Maybe it will for you. read more

Salad bar was great! It had a lot of choices. Honestly, the steak had room for improvement! My husband and I both agreed on the price we paid. Our steaks at home are way better! Just had little to no flavor/seasoning! It's a cute restaurant and service was great - but room for taste of food is needed! read more

Love this Nashville Icon! Great historic ambiance, food is good, salad bar excellent! Try to make it at least twice a year...

Old fashion salad bar in a good way. Simple, clean, restocked often, something different with smoked mussels. Dessert we couldn't fit in our bellies, but for those who ordered it... it was a flaming show and smelled amazing. Meat is cooked correctly and not tough or over cooked. Sides are okay, but order the bubble bread to start! It's fresh and tasty. Never disappointed when we go here, very consistent service and good eats. read more

This place serves GREAT steak! They also have a super stocked and diverse salad bar (fruit, anchovies, + more!). My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary here, and we left so satisfied. We each ordered a ribeye, medium rare (which was cooked to perfection) with a sweet potato and salad. Everything was fresh, and the portions were hearty. The atmosphere overall felt calm and family friendly. read more

3.5 stars. First and only visit? Read more to find out why... My wife and I have been intending to come to Hermitage Steak House for several months now, and just never had the opportunity. We finally had an off night, with no specific meal plans, and decided - "Let's go out for a treat." We called ahead and placed our name on the call-ahead waiting list, which did help. We only had a 10 minute or so wait once we got inside, around 6pm. Upon entering, we were greeted with a very nice waiting room, comfortable/plentiful seating, and a house musician that added a very welcome tinge of atmosphere to the aire. Once called for our table, we were quickly met with a server and placed our drink/appetizer orders. We then quickly made our way to the salad bar, one of the best I've been to in middle TN. EVERYTHING was fresh. The veggies were very tasty and crisp, the accoutrements plentiful, and the dressings covered a wide swath of flavors. Excellency. When we returned to our table, the appetizer we had ordered of the "Bubble Bread" had been delivered, so we set about alternating bites of cheesy bread and delicious salad. Shortly thereafter, the waitress returned to take our orders. The wife and I both opted for a filet, while I chose a filet and chicken combo. Side note: The prices you see anywhere online do NOT match the prices in the restaurant. The menu prices were quite a bit MORE expensive. We were not prepared for that, but hey, we were already there. When our food came out, everything looked of good quality and freshness, even though the baked potatoes we ordered had extremely skimpy toppings. We had to send our poor waitress back twice to get additional things we needed (butter, cheese, etc.) for the potatoes. The steaks were made with very fresh beef, and you could taste the freshness, but that was absolutely it. Both of ours were over-cooked, and neither had been prepared with any semblance of seasoning. We were just hungry at this point and neither of us asked to have them re-done. The chicken I received on the combo was just the same: fresh, quality meat, but NO flavor, no seasoning, no love beyond the freshness. To top off the attempted, but poor quality of preparation, let me get back to the prices. The wife and I frequent MANY steakhouses, from your run-of-the-mill ma&pa type shops to uber-expensive, fancy-pants joints. We expect to get what we pay for, and in most cases, do. Not here, unfortunately. We left with a $120 bill for what amounted to just an 'ok' meal. They are charging WAY too much for what you receive, and while the ingredients may be fresh and quality, the serving sizes/portions and the taste are non-existent. Nearly $35 for a SMALL filet, SMALL piece of chicken and a single small baked-potato? I think we'll get our steaks elsewhere in the future. But if only other places had their salad bar! read more

Not worth the expense. I got the wrong drink. Two in my party ordered vodka martinis, and I ordered a gin martini. We all three got vodka martinis. French fries we're not seasoned. No complimentary bread. And at the entree price should be included. Sweet potato was overcooked and mushy. My $34 Ribeye was thin and ok. I won't comment on service as everyone is suffering to some extent with that. read more

The food is good, the atmosphere is interesting but the menus are a real turnoff! They are dirty and look aged and spotty. For the price of the meals, you expect clean menus!!! read more

Food and service were excellent. Salad bar is a meal itself, but you don't want to miss the great steaks.

Wildly disappointing. The atmosphere was super dumpy. The salad bar was like Shoney's but somehow, way worse. The wine we ordered was bad. It has clearly been opened for a while and had a very strong vinegar. The only redeeming value of this place was that our waitress was very very nice. read more

The food is superb! Nothing like finding a gem close by! The steaks... bang for the buck ! This place is far better than Jimmy Kelly's - Stoney River - Flemings! read more

we have not been out to eat in quite a while and have not been to Hermitage Steak House in a few years. But as in the past the food was awesome!!! Service Impecible, and atmosphere was very nice. I have ate at many top notch restaurants and this one is still #1. Thank you all for such a great meal. They where out of sweet potatoes, but this did not kill the meal. our meal included: appetizers : fried pickle strips, and potato skins, main meal : ribeye, baked potato and salad bar (which was fresh as always) do not care for the reservation text message, but did not take long.

Salad bar was fresh,but not substantial. Gold n Corral would put it to shame for choice. By the way, the salad bar IS your vegetable, seated over the return air, t-stat was near us reading 63 degrees. Had reservations for 7:30, arrived at 7:15, waited until 8 to be seated, 8:30 started on our salad bar, limited menu. Steak was ordered medium well, came out well done, no pink. Rice was good. Diet Coke was good...not going back...telling everyone beware... read more

Hermitage Steak House - Well done NY Strip...??? - Steakhouses Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Truly lovely experience! An adorable, cozy setting, with a few surprising menu items with a lot of wow factor. An upscale touch to that small town local place. Their appetizer options are something to definitely not miss. Yeah it's a steak house, and they get that done solidly with quality meats cooked appropriately and with great sauce options, but duck wontons and the seared ahi should be tried! And if you haven't seen the pictures, they have a glorious salad bar that isn't anywhere near Golden Corral. Wonderful staff and a true family & friends vibe here. read more
