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

The food was delicious and service was fantastic. We came in for a birthday with a party of 11. They handled us well and no mistakes. Food was promptly served and it only took two servers to accommodate us. They were so friendly and also familiar with the menu. Make sure to check out the salad bar when you go. It's a nice one. They also have full bar service. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great local place. Enjoy quality locally owned establishments! Friendly. Nice salad bar you don't see often anymore. Neet old log cabin feel. read more

It's our first stop for classic steakhouse fare with a salad bar. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles but just solid tasting meat and potatoes. I got the lamb chops instead of a steak this time. Wasn't disappointed. read more

Tried to dine solo on a Wednesday. I was told I had to sit in a dingey room where everyone walks by to the dining rooms. I asked to sit in one of the dining rooms and was told no. Sorry but a solo Wednesday at 5 p was a problem? I left. read more

Food, Service and atmosphere was excellent!! We are from St Marys Georgia. Cj Hancock

Never have a bad meal when I come here. We had steak and lobster and shrimp with the salad bar. Everything was excellent. Only problem was I couldn't order desert because I was too full. The waiter was very attentive as well. Seen a few comments about the decor and Yes it is very seventies, but given that the building is an old Peddler steakhouse building I'm not surprised. It may be old but it is clean and the look doesn't effect the taste of the food. read more

Tonight was the first time we tried Hermitage Steak House. We are somewhat new to the area and had a hankering for steak. We have a steak house back home in Mississippi that we love and I must say this was pretty close. I got the 12oz ribeye and it was cooked exactly as I asked and extremely tender with great flavor! They have a salad bar and with Covid they brought out a sheet for you to fill out what you wanted on it and they had designated staff making salads. I really liked that cause I was kind of skeptical when we walked in and I saw a salad bar. Tyler was our waiter and after our meal he told us it was his first shift by himself. He did an outstanding job! We will definitely be back. P.S the key lime pie was awesome! read more

Very good! Best salad bar and juicy pork chops! Service was outstanding. Will recommend to everyone!

SUNDAY: They only serve "Sunday Brunch" till 2 then they are closed till Tuesday. I was hoping for more dinner selections. See attached pic of menu. read more

New Yorker here that was use to some fantastic steak houses. Hermitage steak House comes very close with the great bar and salad bar. What was different and I found disappointing was the out dating dinning room, no table cloths and no warm bread basket. These changes would really make a difference. The service is great and food is fantastic! we will continue to come because you are the only not chain steak house in Hemitage. As a matter of fact we are coming tomorrow for my Birthday dinner! read more

A hidden gem. This is what I call an old-time steakhouse. Nice rustic atmosphere and friendly staff. They actually have an awesome salad bar too. Great steaks and alternates like delicious salmon. read more

It's easy, just don't come here. First off, it's called a steakhouse but they only have 3 cuts of steak. I got the $30 12oz ribeye and it was the stringiest, fattiest cut of steak I've ever had at any price. The seat in the booth we were sat in was ripped, the drinks are watered down, the bathrooms are gross, and they were stingy with the simple things that come with your meal, i.e. butter, sour cream, cocktail sauce. The only thing that would be 3-4 stars is the salad bar just because none of the items that definitely came out of cans seemed to be too old. Bottom line, maybe this place was ok 20-30 years ago but with so many other options in the ever growing Nashville area, there is absolutely no reason to come here. Honestly, the clientele is 60 and older and more than likely just don't know any better about the other options available to them. read more

We ordered the steak and biscuits, bbq bacon cheeseburger, and baked potato. The steak and biscuits and baked potato were good. I was not a fan of the bacon bbq sandwich, specifically the bbq sauce. A weird piece of info...they don't serve steak during lunch time. The closest thing you will get is the steak and biscuits (basically mini steak biscuit sandwiches). I would return for dinner to give it a try since the steak was good. read more

Been to this place three times now and it's never disappointed. The freshest salad bar around guaranteed (I'm from and live in California we have the best produce and this place buys good produce) can't go wrong with a pork chop and baked potato but just the salad alone is excellent read more

Fantastic salad bar, steaks, and service! I have been several times and it never disappoints.

I have been a fan of Hermitage Steak House for over five years. I will never return. My daughter and I went in this evening and ordered our usual 6 oz filet and potato. The server brought our steaks and we cut into them and they were medium well (very little pink in the center). I have been a cook and a beef producer all my life. I know medium rare. The server agreed that the steaks were overcooked and took them back to the kitchen. A manager came out and asked me to come back to the kitchen and look at the steaks!! I said i know a medium rare steak. She asked again and i refused again. She left the table and another manager came out and asked me to come look and i refused. He left and came back and refused to cook another steak. I advised that i was a long time customer and did not understand why this was such an issue. I stated that i would be happy to leave. I did and will never returned. As i said, i have worked as a cook. I have recooked steaks. Its not a big deal. The management chose to let 12 ounces of beef ruin a great night out and a long time repeat customer. Sad. read more

OK, I am breaking this down bit by bit and will come up with my rating. We go a few times a year, this reflects my visit tonight, but I know this place well. Atmosphere- old school, classic, what I picture as a traditional steakhouse. Only downside is it gets a little loud- 4 stars Service- greeted at door, seated, server did his job. Forgot a few things here and there, but quickly made it right- 4 stars Menu- could be considered slightly limited, but I would say concise. Enough variety, Nothing outlandish, just the classics: steak, salmon, grilled chicken, Pork chops and the usual sides.- 4 stars Food/presentation- I am not a huge steak expert but I know when it is cooked well and tastes good and I always enjoy it. The sides are not spectacular but not bad- 3 stars Value- it is not cheap. But entrees come with the SALAD BAR!- that alone 5 stars. NOW for the salad bar! Imagine the best salad bar you've ever been to and add some really unique offerings: smoked oysters, anchovies, house made (I think) dressings and any and all toppings- 5 stars I come up with just about a 4 star. read more

I've eaten at many steakhouses in our nation while in Nashville ate at the Palms. This compares well. I would recommend the Hermitage Steak House any day you are in Hermitage Tennessee. The ambiance is rustic but comfortable, the service was excellent. read more

The Hermitage is always our go to place when we go to Nashville. Love the salad bar and ambiance. This time however I was taking my 8 yr old granddaughter and although I had never seen a kids menu I was hesitant. They did have one selection. Chicken fingers with fries and salad bar. She loved it. read more

Love this place and the owner. The salad bar is top notch, and the filets are fantastic.

Food is very good and so is the service, on sat night it is a lil noisey but I would recommend the place to anyone. Before you come reservations are a good idea and have a look at the online menu. read more

There is something seriously wrong with the hostess here. She will tell you that you can use their WiFi just to get you in a seat and once you are eating, you will learn that the restaurant has no WiFi. Dishonest much? Sometimes WiFi is necessity for travelers. Also, although I was finely dressed, she also tried to sit me in the front room, which is bright and terribly taudry. With the prices at this place, why would any guest want to sit there? The second room had only a handful of people in it and the back room was empty. I decided to leave before the waitress offered to reseat me. Since the back room had table cloths and was lit to my liking (and I was under the illusion that there was WiFi) I checked with the waitress that the restaurant could accommodate a gluten free diet if I ordered a particular item and she confirmed that it could so I agreed to be reseated and stayed. After having a salad , my new waiter told me at that time that they couldn't accommodate my gluten free diet with the item that I wanted, or any other on the menu but they could make me a fish with just salt and vinegar. This honesty didn't sound very good to me but I have never had salt and vinegar fish and thought I would see what the chef can do. While waiting for my salt and vinegar fish I asked for the WiFi password so that I could arrange my hotel, etc. and this is when I was informed that the restaurant had no WiFi. Seriously, what is with all the lying?? The salt and vinegar fish was terrible. Who wants to pay $40 for fish that tastes like potato chips? Why would a chef even offer such a disgrace? Where did he train? Long John Silver's? I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. read more

It had been a long time since I had gone to Hermitage Steak House. I had a good previous experience so we wanted to try it again since my husband had never been. I will say this time was very different from previous years. There is a buffet style salad bar that I was surprised to see after Covid. We ordered ribeye entrees and the teriyaki chicken. The steaks were very thin for a ribeye and was missing a nice sear. The meal was $120 for 3 people. I honestly feel like it was extremely overpriced for the food quality offered. It was disappointing to see the quality of the meal change so drastically from my previous visit. Unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

From the moment we walked in for dinner the staff was very friendly and welcoming! The sad bar had so many choices on it it was difficult to choose from! Our steak was cooked to perfection. The vegetables I had instead of a starch were delicious and not over cooked! We spoke with the manager before we left and told her it was a wonderful experience! She was also very nice! read more

Love love love the new brunch menu and Bloody Mary bar! The Manuel Special- spicy omelette is amazing. My husband had the Lobster roll and it was unbelievable! My son had the Steakhouse Benedict and it was sooo delicious! Not to mention the Banana Fosters waffle that we all shared ! Yum! Definitely making this a Sunday tradition! read more

The Place is a overpriced dump with really mean owners who dont appreciate their employees. I give less than a star. There was alot left to be desired in food quality for the price. I could have gone to another Steakhouse and had a better meal for alot cheaper. The Bathroom smelled really bad and my silverware was spotty and there was food debris around the legs of my table. It was a horrible experience .. read more

Great food! Best food since we came to visit Tennessee. Rhonda was the best server! Steaks, salmon and lamb chops were delicious and the salad bar was the best by far! Will definitely come back next time we are in the Nashville area. read more

So I'd give the atmosphere 5 stars, staff 4 stars, salad bar also gets 5, but the rest food was something to write home about - in a bad way. We went for brunch on a Sunday and had some high hopes as we walked in. The salad bar looked amazing as we passed by so we decided that would be a good add-on to brunch. Ordered a couple drinks and they were good, but we were always low on drinks. Yeah, one person in our party has an unlimited Diet Coke tank, but the coffee and water too. The salad was fresh and lots of variety including dressings, fruit, and other toppings. Anyway, the food was a bit cold when it came out, we found mold (yes mold) on the biscuits, they forgot fries in one of the orders, and the steak was a bit over cooked in 2 of the dishes. I would have loved to have a bit more kick to my Tex-mex dish, but then I'm from Texas and used to the spice. So yeah... not the best. I'd give it another try, but not from here and there a a bunch of other places to check out. Loved the atmosphere! read more

I eat here most every Sunday for brunch. The very best food and service. The owner, Lisa , and El that bartends are both awesome.

I'm not quite sure how...you get Mahi Mahi to taste like steak, but they did. I didn't try the steak because they would'nt have a chance to top the fantastic steaks I have had at Kayne Prime and Cork & Cow. So I decided to get their "catch of the day" which was Mahi Mahi. It tasted like STEAK! I also ordered the Brussel Sprouts which were clearly frozen because they were all the same size. If anyone has ever cut and split a case of Brussels you know they are all different sizes so.... The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The decor is really out dated feels like a 1980's styled cabin. The wait staff was friendly and very helpfull. But the food was a bit of a let down and definitely not worth the price. I definitely won't go out of my way to return. read more

We took a chance, but sure glad we did! Even though the reviews were good you never know when you walk in. Glad we made reservations. All of our plates were cleaned, except for the potato skin. The salad is good, with a few changes would be excellent. I ordered the 12 oz. Ribeye. I would rank it in the top 5 steaks I have ever had at a restaurant. We always look for local restaurants when we travel, and we found a gem with the Hermitage Steakhouse!! read more

Yelp doesn't specify that it is brunch only on Sunday so the menu is limited. They do have a salad bar it's ok but in comparison Ruby Tuesday is much better Salad bar wise. I was actually hoping for a lunch menu as I am not much on breakfast. So I got grilled pork chops and eggs. I don't feel like the food was all that I was expecting better quality for the price. This was my first time here, but won't be back for that. Hopefully the dinner menu is better? The service is good though and the atmosphere was beautiful! read more

Who is the middle-aged blonde woman here (ahem, Lisa) that made me (and apparently other yelpers) want to run away crying???? Surely not the owner!! Regardless, 6 of us came for a family member's birthday. I waited until the rest of my group was seated and ran out to grab a cake from my car (as a surprise). After waiting at the door for several minutes (at the hostess' direction), the blonde woman turns the corner. Hostess points her to me. She barks "DO YOU HAVE A RESERVATION?" "Yes, ma'am, they are already seated." "WELL DO THEY HAVE A NAME?" [horrible smirk and sarcasm] I tell her our name. She proceeds to roll her eyes and say, "You know we have birthday cakes HERE and we **MUCH PREFER** THAT YOU BUY THEM FROM US!!!" Blonde woman yanks cake away. Was I supposed to know this??? I'm sorry my mother has a favorite local bakery that we try to help her indulge in once per year. I'm sorry that I assume a restaurant cake is something small and not for a party of 6. I'm sorry I'm spending $300+ at your establishment and you have to bring out 6 bread plates for us to dirty up with our foreign non-Hermitage-steak-house-cake. The entire exchange was humiliating and degrading. I was too upset after this to enjoy our meal. I obviously didn't want to let on that anything happened in front of the birthday girl, so I held it in the whole time. The worst. Who behaves like this? In life, but more importantly, in a locally owned restaurant where you pull from a limited pool of patrons? Our waiter was great.. he (and he alone) earned the stars. read more

On there website says reservations are suggested. Made reservations at 10AM and confirmed for 7:15PM Dinner. There at 7:15PM still had over a 30 minute wait. Restaurant was out of a lot of selection on there menu for a early Saturday night. Steak came out as ordered but was tough, chewy and dry as a bone. Salad bar was nice. Servers were not very attentive. Price was outrageous. read more

OK, choice of the family to celebrate a couple of birthdays. I'm chillin', I'm in a relaxed mood. I'm ready to spend a laid back time with the family. It usually only takes one in the group to spoil this feeling. We have a reservation. We trickle in and of course they don't want to seat a party until all arrive. I'm good with that. That one person is ill. That one person is impatient. That one person is "hangry". That is a cross between hungry and angry. You know, when you are so hungry that you become angry. Not the restaurants responsibility that you chose to not eat in order to get your money's worth at an expensive steakhouse. The person in charge tells me - a male member of our group - that they are waiting on a table to finish their dessert in order to combine tables. I suggest she tells them someone is breaking into their car to expedite their visit. Advice is not taken. We are finally sat in a "back room" of the restaurant. The atmosphere could be best described as "toasty". There seems to be an issue with the A/C in this area of the restaurant and it is sorta hot. Should the temperature have been cooler, I would consider this the best table in the house. Our party of 12 or so is seated and drink order taken. It is about 8:00, so most of the evenings dinner crowd is filtering out. Lady asks if we would like to move to an emptied area where the temperature is more conducive to pleasant dining, but it is actually 2 separate tables. I'm with a family that feels if the tables don't touch then we aren't eating together...SMH. We stay - temp drops and we have access to the salad bar - let's eat. Once allowed access to graze on the salad bar, things start to smooth out. There is a little inconsistency with the delivery of the drinks. Waitress may have been over committed, who knows?! Like most steak houses, bread is delivered somewhere between drink and salad prep. We ALL received our entrée and were not even offered bread. Steak house - no bread - wait..what?!. Again, party of 12 and when asked, waitress comes out with one single "loaf" of bread. When called on it - "I could only carry one at a time." Seriously. Another is brought, but no other is offered. Hmmm....$28 steak and you hold back on the bread?! Salad bar is good as is the steak. The filet is phenomenal! I didn't order it - my wife and I split a strip. In no way could it even compete with my father-in-law's filet. I had most of his remainder and my wife ate a small remaining portion. It was great! Our strip was good, but nowhere near the texture of the filet. Pork chops were good as was rib eye my daughter ordered. Service was lacking. Our bill for 4 including gratuity was $124. Felt things should have been a little more spot on than they were service and quality wise. This place has a great vibe and dining atmosphere. This could be a world class visit if they upped their game a little. read more

My family and I visited and the experience was a disaster. My wife and I ordered a New York Strip, the family ordered Ribeyes. When the food arrived, my wife got her strip and I was given a ribeye. There is a true distinction between the two especially when mine looked like all the other ribeyes. I kindly asked the server, who was kind up to that point to review my order. She even asked before getting our ticket "did you not order the ribeye?". Once she confirmed we ordered a strip she took the steak to replace it. Then she passed the table twice then brought the steak back and tried to convince us it was a strip. We compared the steaks on the table and were then treated rudely by both the waitress and owners. We will never visit this place again after years of speaking highly of it. If owners of a steak house cannot tell the difference between cuts, maybe the place down the road will be a better choice. read more

I love this place. A totally non-pretentious, home town feel steakhouse. A great vibe, with tons of people who you can tell are regulars. It's a super welcoming atmosphere. My wife had been a few times before with family who came through town, and took me for a recent celebration. The filet was on point with steaks twice and three times the price, and it included the salad bar and a side!! Great staff and overall fantastic experience. read more

Was a bit pricier than expected, most steak houses seem to have something in the 15 dollar range, while the Hermitage has nothing for under $18. My husband and I both got the 12 oz Ribeye, which comes with one side and the salad bar. The steak was very filling, but for $30 I was expecting a more tender and flavorful cut. The bathrooms were pretty out of date and kind of grody (not that it *really* matters.) Overall though, the service was very friendly and fast, food was good and left us full and happy, just a fun thing to splurge on for date night. read more

Wasn't sure we were going to get seated on a slow Thursday night. But they worked us in quickly. The staff was very well trained and attended to all our requests and answered all our questions. The salad bar alone is worth the trip. Everything was fresh and presented well. We all had steaks cooked to different tastes and they were on the mark with all of them. My only regret was I didn't save enough room for dessert. read more
