We were surprised to have 2 beers show up when we went on a Friday, not knowing they have a 2 for 1 special so that was a pleasant surprise. The bar/restaurant is a bit loud but a great place to mingle. Food is not the best all just missing some flavor but fine for just hanging out and grabbing something. The spinach dip needed some cream cheese it was very watery and not great. Mozzarella sticks needed some seasoning or something in breading. The fettuccine was very chicken stock flavor vs Parmesan. Food prices a bit high for being very plain. Services was great, our waitress was very attentive and on top of it! read more

Jonathan's Grille - Spinach Dip - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My father and I have been regular customers at the Bellevue location of Jonathan's Grille for over eleven (11) years. Over the past year, management implemented a fee--initially referred to as a "convenience fee," now labeled a "hospitality fee"--without proper notice or clear communication to patrons. This change was introduced quietly, without being listed on the menu or verbally mentioned by the waitstaff. The fee only appears on the check after the drinks and meal have been served and completed. While the amount is relatively small at approximately 3%--typically around $0.50 to $0.75 per person--the issue is not the cost itself, but the lack of transparency, respect, and ethical consideration. Management has provided several excuses for the fee that have zero regard for ethics, but the bottom line is that the decision to apply it without disclosure is deceptive. In my view, it reflects a complete disregard for customer trust and loyalty. I have never encountered a similar practice at any other restaurant or chain in my lifetime. I am disappointed, I feel insulted, and above all, I feel disrespected. Because of this unethical turn, I will not buy any more gift cards or return to Jonathan's for the remainder of the year and probably longer. I strongly encourage others to support businesses that operate with honesty and integrity. Many excellent restaurant/bar alternatives exist in the Greater Nashville Area that treat their customers with the respect they deserve. read more

Jonathan's Grille - A past credit card convenience fee that is now a hospitality fee on cash and card! - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food is good especially the French Onion Soup! However, the food costs are high as well as drinks. They then charge you for "hospitality fee" and "alcohol tax". Not sure the reason for both, but it looks like they are dipping at both ends. Will not eat here again!!! read more

Had a good dining experience, came in late on a weeknight and it was pretty empty. Our server was super nice and quick. Food was solid. The Philly sandwich with steak was excellent, fries were ok. We enjoyed the spinach and artichoke dip, and although we just had water to drink there was a large selection, including seasonal drinks that looked good. read more

My husband and I were passing through on our way home so I found this place on Yelp. It sounded really good so we decided to try it. We were traveling with our dog and saw that they have a patio so I asked if he could be on the patio. The server I asked said "Absolutely and we can even bring out a dog bowl." We ordered tea and decided to split the Firecracker Salmon Bowl and also ordered the Bam Bam Shrimp Eggrolls as a starter. I need to point out, like others have, that the menu is extensive with a wide variety. In spite of that, the salmon bowl jumped out at me right away. The egg rolls came right out and we were so glad we ordered them. They were delicious! They brought out our salmon bowl and an extra bowl. It looked fantastic and tasted just as good! We were glad we chose that entree. There was a slight breeze blowing so it was very pleasant on the patio. Our server, Sierra C, checked on us just the right amount of times. She was awesome! We're really glad we stopped here. We reco it wholeheartedly. read more

This review is long overdue. We love every entree we've ordered at Jonathan's. We first tried them via takeout, then in person and fell in love! We've been back a handful of times and brought family from out of town to dine here. Tonight we came to eat at the bar. We order the Perfect Prime and the Horseshoe. Both entrees got the spot. We decided to try dessert, something we had never tried at Jonathan's before. This was a Mistake!! The Cookie Skillet was rock hard and crumbly and needed more ice cream than cookie with every bite. Needless to say, we were disappointed we Finally found something we didn't like at Jonathan's. It was a new item so I'm *hoping* the chef gets the feedback and learns to cook it for likely at least 25% less time. Since it's served in a cast iron little skillet, it may have kept cooking. Either way they need to account for it. Overall tho, we still give Jonathan's 5 Stars because we've enjoyed every visit and every plate with the exception of dessert and we have no intention of trying dessert at a sports bar!?... read more

Family atmosphere, diverse menu, and Sydney, the manager made sure we were happy with our wings! Delicious! Also, our favorite server is Bryce! Great place!!! read more

Jordan was our server and she was amazing!! So sweet and attentive to our table. Food was fast and delicious and our service was awesome. Will be coming back for Jordan!! (And the food too) :)) read more

Great time!! Never disappoints. Menu has a whole variety of stuff. Great beers. The pizza rolls are insanely good.

My family did dinner here during a rainy Tuesday evening. Our waitress was Alyson (I hope I spelled that correctly). She was very sweet and attentive. This was my first time here and I was impressed with the variety on the menu and honestly struggled to figure out what to eat since all of the options sounded good. I finally landed on the Larry Bird sandwich with a baked potato. I added a tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle, and avocados. But the shining star was the potato. It was baked with a salt/pepper seasoning on the outer skin that kicked the favor up!! Deliciousness!! My mom ordered the fajitas and it made enough for 3 meals for her. But she said the chili was phenomenal and ordered a second cup. My sister had the spicy salmon bowl - it tasted like a yummy unwrapped sushi roll. My brother in law had a perfect prime rib sandwich with sweet potato fries. I only sampled the fries - so good. My niece had the fire roasted chicken with a cesar salad. Overall, she thought it was good but loved the salad!! My nephew had the garlic Parmesan wings (which I originally wanted but thought the cheese would get me later!) along with chicken tenders in the yum yum sauce. Overall it was a good meal, great waitress, and we are hoping to return soon! read more

Burgers all are all right they're just not up to my standards. Their steak is pretty solid. It has a nice crunch. servers always mixed. It's a good place to hang out. There wings are also amazing! read more

Came here on a an out of town visit! Great fun choice, good people and delicious food!!

Okay, first of all, this place is loud when at full capacity. We try to go during off hours. But the staff is helpful and (mostly) attentive. The food is good, but it's such a large menu, it can be difficult to know what to order! We live in the area, and when we have a larger group that just our family, we find JG accommodating, setting up larger tables. So we keep it in our local restaurant rotation. read more

The food has been and continues to be good. The service is also good. The lower rating is due to the 3% hospitality fee they add to the bill. This is on top of taxes or tips. This stands if you pay cash. It used to cover credit card fees but not it is across the board. I still go there from time to time but have reduced my visits by about 80% because it just feels like they are nickel and dimming you as a customer. It is just irritating. I understand others may do it too but Jonathan's does not seem to care what their customers think. The only way to really get the point across is to simply stop going there. May have to stop all together. read more

After the movies, we need a good meal. Saw that this place had great reviews and went to check it out for ourselves. Food was plentiful and delicious. The service was outstanding and the place seem to be a great spot to watch sports. The southwest eggrolls were amazing, I had the chicken tostada salad, and my girlfriend got the fire, cracker salmon. They are gracious with the amount of food and we had leftovers, which heated up and taste amazing as well. Will be back for sure! Loved the atmosphere too! read more

Decent food overall with lots of options to choose from ranging for standard American fare to some less common options. There is something for everyone but everything feels fairly mediocre. I had a pretty good salad and the salmon rice bowl. The rice bowl was good and had a generous portion of salmon. I would say that it was a very satisfying meal overall. The restaurant was festively decorated for Halloween which was fun but it was pretty loud. The service was okay overall. The experience was nothing spectacular but suited our needs that evening. read more

Jonathan's Grille - Salmon Rice Bowl- sauces on the side - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Came here on a Tuesday where it is happy hour all day. The beers are 2 for 1, the wine is double pour as well as the liquor drinks. Already, I'm in it to win it with this deal. The bam bam egg rolls were phenomenal and could have easily been my entire meal if I wasn't sharing with 1 other person. The fiesta wrap had such good flavors, from the tortilla strips to the corn medley to the wrap. The chicken caprese sandwich I did not try but there were no leftovers which is always a good sign. I will 100% be returning here whether it be a Tuesday or not because the deals are unbeatable. Yum!! read more

My favorite thing about this place is two for one draft beer. Good has always been fine.

This Jonathan's Grille location, which is 1-of-8 in Tennessee, with another located in Alabama, is situated on Highway 70 in Bellevue. It is a stand alone restaurant that sits in front of the large shopping complex that houses Petco, Planet Fitness, Dollar Tree and many other spots. Parking is never an issue here, as if the spaces that surround Jonathan's fill up, you have the massive lot supporting the shopping center to utilize! Jonathan's is a sports bar at its core. This is evidenced by the large amounts of TV's spread throughout the dining room and bar, sports and local décor, great happy hours and bar style food. None of those are bad things! While sports bar is the vibe here, it is not your average run down, dark and cheap sports bar. Jonathan's has a good dine-on vibe for a date night, family dinner or big game. We usually start our night at a table in the dining room or bar area for dinner and then belly up to the bar after we are done to enjoy a few 2-for-1 beers to close our night out! Food wise, Jonathan's serves a lot of your standard bar fare with a few house specialties. The food is not overwhelmingly fantastic and is not the sole purpose of our visits, but it is decent, well priced and portioned. Collectively we have tried the burger, flatbreads, pizza, wings, quesadillas, sandwiches and a few appetizers. The only disappointment we have experienced so far is the Buffalo Chicken Dip. While it was creamy, it was bland. The buffalo sauce was watered down and really only added color, I say this after we asked for additional buffalo sauce to mix in. It was basically a bowl of warmed cream cheese, chicken and blue cheese crumbles that was colored with the sauce. All the other food has been solid, no complaints! Service has been hit and miss for us sadly, as we seem to get better service when our table is in the bar area than we do in the dining room. The service is the dining room, no matter how many tables, is always slower than the bar area. And I don't mean slow in the actual sense, but they pay you less attention in that area it seems. And at least 2 out of our latest 4 visits, we had something wrong with out order from wrong side or something left on the sandwich that was requested to be left off. Overall, we really enjoy Jonathan's. While we have had a few issues, the staff are always friendly and helpful. Jonathan's has became a solid go-to neighborhood spot for us that we enjoy ourselves and also bring friends and family to when in town! read more

Food was pretty good here . I had chicken tenders and fries , side salad . My husband had the salmon bowl . Both were good . Service was fine , it was dinner rush hour the place was packed . Only thing that I didn't like was the floors look like someone pissed in the corners and all over the wall . I think they stained them to look distressed, but they look more like crud in the corners , other than that it was a fine experience. I'd go back . read more

Jonathan's Grille - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Overall most meals here are pretty good. Service is hit or miss. Today was a miss. Not sure I'll go back.

Good food. Friendly, prompt service. Easy, accessible parking. Our group was very happy with their food and drinks.

Food was very good Lemon Basil Chicken Skewers were delicious but the menu says tomato/cucumber salad which was barely present (delicious but almost absent) while there was a large amount of lettuce - I can't eat lettuce- it's not listed on menu or I would've told them to leave off and maybe add some extra tomato/cucumber salad. Hubs had JG Chicken wrap - very good. Service was slow and not overly attentive. Ambiance was good - put on ACC tourny which was great but with all the tournaments going on why soccer, golf and racing on multiple TV's...not during March madness Jonathan's, come on. I gave a 4 star because the food is always consistently good - but wow- 3 draft beers, a shareable and an entree with tip over $70 - yikes. Wish we could afford to come here more often but not at those prices. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise. While visiting friends in town, we ate here on a Friday night with a large group; my expectations were set low, but I was impressed! The service was exceptional with friendly staff; there was not a single mistake made in our large group of about 15 people or more. We ordered the Fiesta Wrap with fries and the Bang Bang Eggrolls, and every dish was outstanding. The lettuce on the wrap was fresh variety lettuce rather than the cheap romaine or iceberg most places use. The sauces were great, the flavor was great, the shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly, even the tortilla for the wrap was perfect. Additionally, this establishment offered a wide range of menu options, ensuring there's something for everyone. I am definitely looking forward to returning in the future! read more

No frills sports bar vibe. This is more of a happy hour, sports and beer type of place. I would have said it was for the boys, but it seems there is always a mixed bag as far as the weekends go. It's never my first pick , but if I have a friend that wants to go there I know I can still find something on the menu that's good. I like how hearty the food is. The pizza, the burgers , the salads are all great. Of course with it being a bar, the service can be slow. It always takes a while to be greeted and for the food to come. Anytime a server has to keep up with alcohol orders for all of the tables it's going to take a while. So if you are really hungry I wouldn't suggest coming here and expecting to eat right away. The food has always tasted good when I got it and I have always had left overs. So if you have time to hang, make a night of it. read more

I enjoyed my food and my server but im bothered by the fact you charge me a fee to pay my bill with CASH. It feels unethical and almost like a scam! Why is someone paying a fee that you dont have to pay a fee on . I can see if it was a card transaction read more

Jonathan's is a Great establishment! Great leadership, service, ambiance and events held here!

JG was OKAY. It was recommended to us for their happy hour specials. Drinks were two for one and their happy hour appetizer list was pretty decent. The service was quite slow, but the bar area was very full for 330pm on a Thursday. read more

Jonathan's is...fine. It feels a bit like a sport's bar meets neighborhood diner with a dash of fast casual restaurant in the mix. We didn't have to wait to be seated for long during the middle of the week for dinner, and our wait staff was pretty prompt considering the various parties there that night. We started with the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer. They were decent but a bit overseasoned with strangely cooked celery (the texture was rubbery ). My significant other ordered Fajita Nachos, and I had Cajun Sausage pasta. Honestly, I found the cream pasta a bit bland for my taste, considering it was supposed to be Cajun inspired: pepper and paprika were a bit missed here. Honestly, I left a bit disappointed because the flavors were a bit lacking. However, service is great, and they have a pretty extensive menu of offerings if you're going with a large group. They also have a light night specialty menu, so definitely check that out if you're a night owl or prefer to watch a late night game in a more social setting. read more

Incredible service for the group event last night! Staff was so helpful and friendly! great food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

This is a great late night place ( let's face it Franklin closes way too early )! Great place to watch sports & grab some above average bar food! Service is always great! I highly, recommend the cauliflower pizza ... insanely DELICIOUS!! read more

The owner of all Jonathan's Grilles was EXTREMELY disrespectful to my mother. Not a specific location, just the owner in general in a different situation. You've lost all mine and my family's support. read more

This place is an always a good go to, especially on the weekend. I have never had to wait for a table, I'm not sure if it's the time I go but the staff is always friendly and ready to seat me and help me out. The food itself is normally pretty good although not filling at times. Overall a solid place I'm glad I started going to. read more

Came in around 4:30-5ish with my husband and saw the bartender yelling at a worker . It was very concerning considering guests were around eating , so I decided to leave because I did not want to be around that . Called in to let a manager know and spoke with Sydney because it bothered me and I wanted to make sure it was known and that the server was okay . I was assured that everything was handled and that they do not tolerate that at all and they sent the bartender home . I had my son go and pick up some food for us because I really enjoy their food and he assured me that the same bartender was in fact still there , I don't understand why I was being lied to or why they would accept their workers to disrespect other workers . Starting to rethink the environment there , I am hoping someone from higher up will see this and reach out . Very unnerving situation. read more

Nashville native & local industry professional, former bar & restaurant manager here I came in last night around 10, went to the bar and ended up having to sit on the patio to take a call. Sara and Holly are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! 100/10 across the board. Beer selection for the summer was so good, Sara had great recommendations, answered questions to match flavor pairing with a chilled house tequila shot. House selection is good not gonna lie! Let Sara know I needed to move to the patio but we still wanted to keep our bill with her. She went out of her way to check on us and communicate with her team to keep tabs on us too. Food was great as always, bam bam shrimp, chili like shrimp bowl, blackened chicken platter. Even the side of toast I ordered was so good. I had the Blackstone blueberry & my partner had the Tailgate strawberry lemonade shandy with a chilled house tequila shot. Bellevue Jonathan's is the only location I'll be frequent flying at. I have always liked Jonathan's but the Mount Juliet and Hendersonville locations service teams seem like they don't give a care. I frequented Spring Hill when I lived in the area and always liked watching games there and getting 2 for 1 beers. Service at Spring Hill was never bad. At Hendersonville, I had a server just stink eye stare at me our entire visit (didn't even serve us she was just lurking by the pos with the server that was in our section, who was great and sweet. We talked about Steve McNair and the titans ) but those two locations, they just half ass drag around there and don't care to provide much quality service. But the Bellevue location? 3 and a half stars is a disservice. Hoping the other locations step up on staffing, but Jonathan's is always a GREAT spot to go to if you want a good selection of good food and drinks!!! We'll be back especially to see Sara and Holly!!! read more

Daniel was such a great host. He set a party of 15 almost instantly with no reservation and he was so kind and really went above and beyond to make us feel appreciated highly recommend going to Jhonathas especially to see Daniel truly a great guy and delicious food read more

Solid spot. Is it fancy? No. Does it need to be? No. It's a good basic sports bar where you can catch a game and eat some quality food. It doesn't have the fanciest menu, but everything is fresh and well prepared! Convenient location with ample parking. Good salads and burgers. Great service and kind employees. read more

Decent place to go. Wanted to have a sit down lunch in the midst of running errands and my husband and I opted for the bar. The menu is large and there is certainly something for everyone. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and tasty. Fried pickles, onion soup, salad, margarita. I enjoyed it all. The raspberry dressing that came with my salad was particularly delightful and I really appreciated having HOT grilled chicken on it (I hate cold chicken). It is dark inside and with the windows, can be difficult to see at times. Our bartender was sweet and made for a pleasant, un-rushed meal. Would definitely come back again. read more

We brought a youth hockey team (14 year olds) to Jonathan's for a 'team dinner' this past Saturday while in town for a tournament. We had pre-arranged a week or so before with staff so we had an area set aside for ~35 guests. While the area provided to us was secluded on a balcony, it unfortunately was not nearly large enough to accommodate the entire group, so some of the parents ate downstairs while others went to another restaurant. Had it not been for that 'kerfuffle' (and yes, that's a word), this rating would be great. The food was great as well as the service, notably Sidney and Brandon who took exceptional care of us and put up w/ the antics of 14 year olds. Well done Sidney and Brandon! The one issue we had will not prevent us from returning to Jonathan's. read more
