We arrived at Jonathan's around dinner time on a Monday night. Having had a great experience here previously, my expectations were high. Unfortunately, they were not met. We ordered the pizza flat bread as an app and the veggie burger and sausage pasta for our entrees. The veggie burger was meh. The sausage pasta was very bland. That was most disappointing because our server suggested it as it was said to be a fan favorite. Aside from the food, the service was solid and the atmosphere was as expected in a bar/restaurant setting. read more

So yeah, Jonathan's is most definitely a "SPORTS BAR" all caps...like the most sports-bar-ie place I've been in ages. We were here midday on a Saturday and it was packed to the walls with fans in full team gear gleefully shouting along with every play. There is no place in the spot you can glance and not see a game. It's peak college football season (I presume) and my party, being casual sports fans at best and college football fans nil, were not as enamored with this aspect of it it but judged we were in the minority. It's fine though. The food was what we came for and it was really good. We tried wings first as we noticed how good they looked at the tables around us. They were really good. A lot of places do BAD wings, a lot more do mediocre wings, few do great wings. I think this place, based on our first try, is one of the few who do great. They were crispy, meaty, and well sauced. We opted for "hot" but they weren't that hot, so we may try some sort of "nuclear" option next go around. We've been wanting some really good pizza at a sit-down restaurant where we can enjoy it hot and fresh for a while now, so we tried the "carnivore" pie and it was really good. Hand tossed crust cooked right, nice and cheesy, all the topics were good. Then add in 2-for-1 beers (they bring you both at once) and an actual cocktail menu and you're on point...oh and good dessert, judging by the slab of chocolate cake we got to go and enjoyed immensely. It feels like a dive bar that is a step up, not grimy or gross, just on point. Service was unpretentious, straightforward, and casual. It was fine. We'll definitely be back at some point. Maybe in baseball season, though... read more

Food delicious. Large portions with plenty to share. Kind wait staff and cool atmosphere with TVs and a bar and outdoor seating with TVs too. read more

The food is always good, not gourmet, but good. They do a particularly good job with their salads. My one complaint, and the reason we don't go more often, is the noise. It is always very noisy in there. Almost to the point of having to raise your voice just to talk across the table. In my opinion, it's not the crowds, it's the acoustics. The restaurant is not designed to muffle sounds. It has a concrete floor, mostly open tables, steel and metal ceiling and hard walls that don't absorb sounds. Luckily they keep the TVs muted. They need an acoustic redesign of the space to make it more pleasant. But if you don't care about noise, they do a good job with the food and service is mostly good. read more

Very mediocre food, despite decent menu. Have eaten here many times because of a few good experiences. Had lunch there today. Entree not hot out of kitchen. Had it re-heated. Salmon perfectly grilled & zero taste. Usually has teriyaki sauce cooked into it. Enjoyable veggies & packaged rice pilaf. Husband's chicken was tough & hard to chew. The server seemed to be working alone & was working hard. Excellent service. read more

Jonathan's Grille has new menu items, and (drumroll!) they now serve the best wedge salad in the Bellevue area ... and beyond! The "Little Broken Wedge" is not little, and it's filled with goodies like bacon, tomatoes, scallions, and a boiled egg. The blue cheese crumbles and dressing are delicious. To be honest, I had the wedge salad at Perry's this past Sunday (it was excellent), and Jonathan's was bigger and better. It could seriously serve 2 people, especially if you are also ordering a sandwich or burger. In addition, my service from Holly was outstanding! I love a good crispy wedge lettuce salad - this one won't disappoint! read more

This is my go-to destination for after my beer league hockey games @ Ford Ice Center in Bellevue. This is mainly due to convenience: our games often end around 11pm, which means drinking/dining options are limited. Still, I am never disappointed when I come here. After 10pm is happy hour, so they offer 2-for-1 draft beers. I usually order the Bam Bam Egg Rolls, which I am a huge fan of. The 2 beers + egg rolls + tax + tip comes out to around $22, which is definitely a great deal. Can't go wrong! Happily, Clayton Cohn read more

I found a cockroach in my Caesar salad. The service was great, but the manager did not offer to comp the meal. It was a disappointing experience for a local fav restaurant. Addressing this issue would have been an easy fix for a terrible situation. read more

Nice little spot to grab a cold beer and a meal. It's a sports bar with tons of tapped beer. You get 2 beers for the price of one, nice gimmick! I'll stop in again if I stop in Nashville again. read more

If you like sports, you will probably love this place. There are lots of tvs in the place. Our food was pretty good for bar food, which is what this place serves. Our servers were prompt and very polite and I was able to get two beers for the price of one because I guess buy one get one is a thing in Nashville? A great thing I think. Anyway, our wings were good. My buffalo chicken sandwich was small but tasted okay. My daughter had a burger and again, it was okay for late night bar food. read more

I've been to Jonathan's a few times. I usually like it. The food is normally fine but this time my bison burger was under cooked and my fries we hard. I was told that the turkey burger was good and I liked the pizza rolls and shrimp. It could have been that it was semi crowded but whatever the case I wasn't pleased with my bison burger meal. The people with me liked their meals though. Jonathan's is a sports bar and if you like all of the games, it's a great place. There are specials everyday and even happy hour every day. The place is clean, normally the food is tasty, and the service is good. read more

waitied over an hour for our party of 14 to be seated only to find out they set out a table for 8. The rude cool springs hostess said we'd need to wait until the table adjacent was empty but those people were just seated - despite the restaurant being almost empty when I arrived an hour earlier. It took FOrEVER to get a table and the hostess was sooo rude the entire time we were there. spent over $500 for a lousy evening experience. So unnecessary and the manager wasn't any better when he finally got involved. A bad experience for the entire party. read more

Got the pizza rolls for a snack during happy hour times. They were great. Also liked the 2 for 1 drink specials. Wasn't a fan of the LONG waiting in between everything we did - ordering drinks, then food, etc. Nice place with lots of sports on tv. read more

We were swinging thru town overnight on a motorcycle trip and the hotel had recommended this restaurant. The atmosphere was great but the waitress made the night. If you go you must ask for Kylie - she will give you GREAT service. We would recommend this restaurant and definitely come back if we were back in town. read more

Drew our server was awesome. Friendly and fast. Our food was great. Gluten free Hawaiian pizza and Bam Bam tacos. Highly recommend!

Party of 9 birthday celebration and it was superb. We did not call ahead yet they managed to find us a large table with plenty of space. It also appeared they were expecting a party as we also had a dedicated server exclusively for us. read more

Impeccable service. Sarah was awesome! Mediocre French onion soup. I don't think it was cooked all the way. 2 for 1 beer?! Sign me up. Crispy Brussels. Fire (as the kids say). read more

its like the restaurant dosent even have their own menu, I order something and they just forget anything and everything on the food! placed a Togo order and had more wrong than right on the order read more

Just wanted to say I love eating at this place! The Customer service is top notch and Damey is one the best servers and bartenders they have! She is always kind and attentive! The food is always so good and my favorite is the buffalo chicken dip it amazing! The atmosphere in this place is always upbeat! read more

Life saver! After driving almost nine hrs and having minimal calorie intake we arrived after confirming via phone the kitchen was still open and Toni saved the day! Pizza the works, chicken tenders buffalo style with onion rings and sweet potato fries (with sugar and cinnamon .. excellent recommendation by Toni) were fantastic. A couple of beers later we had a great time! Fantastic food, great ambiance, and exceptional service by Toni. Will highly recommend and definitely coming back read more

The most urgent mistake this place made was that they were not marking out or spacing tables to encourage social distancing during the pandemic. I was happy to see the staff was wearing masks but this is simply not enough for an airborne illness. I was really upset when near the end of my meal during a slow time a mother with two small children decided to sit at a both adjacent to mine -well within the 6 ft suggested by the CDC-even tho the restaurant was nearly empty and there were 20+ tables free spread across the rather large area that this restaurant occupies. This is unsafe and the restaurant should be doing more to ensure the safety of their customers and staff. This aside, the garden pizza I ordered was completely undercooked. The crust was doughy, the vegetables were not tender, and the least forgiveable offense-the mozzarella cheese wasn't even melted. My companions were a bit happier with the burger and fries and soup and salad (even tho the salad was clearly a premixed deal with cheese and diced tomatoes thrown on, so minimal effort). The beer menu was okay, there were a few local beers from Tailgate and some national selections. I tried to order a beer to be told it wasn't actually available, tried to order my second choice and that wasn't available either. My third choice was available, probably because it is from a mass produced national brand. We were also surprised when we received two beers apiece and had only ordered one per person. We were happy with the value but this is still information that one should be given beforehand to make their decisions with that in mind. This would be a great place if you are a college age person and want to drink for a value and eat generic bar type food, but for someone looking for unique quality cuisine, then keep searching. read more

Love this place but was disappointed when I ordered the pizza rolls and they were no longer the wonderful circular pizza rolls they once were. Please bring them back read more

Food and service were good but they slap a 3% convenience fee on to your bill when you pay by credit card. No notice or warning it's just on your final bill once you give them a credit card. read more

Been to Johnathan's multiple times over the years and the staff is always great. The male hostess during the day is great ! Friendly & attentive ... Food quality has definitely changed most recently and to me the place always looks dirty. I did notice they painted a bit and did some minor stuff in the dining rooms but benches (large tops) are filthy and uncomfortable. Bathrooms (Ladies) needs a fresh look and the tables outside are also uncomfortable and dirty. The gate either needs to be open for use and the table moved or locked. Definitely hard to sit at that table for your frequently interrupted with people coming or going. Don't ever see anything getting wiped which scares me with Covid. I use to think it was a great place for lunch or apps & drinks but too many other great establishments now that I just don't go ... sorry , you miss the mark with cleanliness and food quality .... I've seen a table top utilized with new guests and nothing wiped. To me that's a big turn off ! read more

A once popular place in the toney section of Bellevue. Today, my partner and I were walking in and saw a cluster of servers chain smoking by the back door. They walked right back into the bar without washing their hands. Some wore masks, some didn't. Also, the usual huddle behind the bar with their cellphones, not really engaging with the patrons. Also, they allowed people to sit at the bar, no social distancing. Nashville is still in Phase 2, and we decided to leave. This used to be a great place, but an unhealthy and unfriendly staff have ruined it. read more

I never leave comments about anything, but felt it prudent for me to do so. I had ordered food to be delivered. The location was out of an item, so I had to go back on the app and choose something else, which I did. However the app wouldn't take on my end. Wound up calling the restaurant and they said they had my change and were making the food. For some reason the app canceled the order and the restaurant staff and manager got the app to send someone to pick up my food. On top of the Jonathan's being so helpful, they even offered me a free dessert as if it was there fault, which it wasn't. I work in the restaurant industry as well and just thought that the customer service I received from this location was top notch. read more

Jonathan's is always a hit because their menu will satisfy anyone's cravings. This locations service is not as great as others I have been to, but all locations have great bar areas with lots of TVs to watch games read more

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

We were pleasantly surprised with Johnathan's Grille, the food was good and actually HOT when we got it, lately when we've gone out we've been super disappointed by restaurants so I'm actually happy to not have to leave a mediocre to bad review. It was my husband's birthday and we had a gift card, they had a really good happy hour deal, 2 for 1 beers until 7 and then on Wednesdays there was Trivia, we were surprised and happy to stay for it. My husband had the prime rib and he was so happy with it, it was a good size piece of meat and really tasty (though I would say it was more medium rare than medium what he ordered but that didn't bother either of us at all) I had the fajitas which came out sizzling and were really tasty. I got the combination ones. Our friends got the spicy chicken tacos and the pulled pork baked potato (which was HUGE) Definitely will have to come back here and try more of their food to make sure it holds up! read more

Late lunch - ordered a $16 kale salad & added salmon. The menu stated that chx, salmon or shrimp had additional cost - no worries. We got the check and the total was $26! We asked the bartender if this was accurate and Al she said was she just works there so we spoke with a manager. She said salmon prices have gone up / salmon salad on menu was $19 and salmon entree was $21 on menu / no transparency or apology or communication from interaction / last time going there for awhile read more

A little loud but the food was good and big portions. Something for everyone on the menu. Our group had the teriyaki salmon which was good, the vegetables was heavy on the pepper though. The pizza was ok good. The bison burger was really good. The prime rib sandwich was delicious. The grilled chicken platter was good and huge with a 10 oz serving of chicken read more

Great servers here and we love Wednesday night happy hour and BrainBlast trivia. Top menu items for us are the fish tacos, the chicken ranch pizza (get the jalapeño ranch base) and the quesadillas. Always a great atmosphere. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday just as the UT Vols were getting ready to play and it was hopping. Got the new Cowboy Smash Burger..."two signature patties topped with "Nashville Hot" bacon, grilled onions, fresh jalapeno, pepper jack cheese & spicy BBQ". Once you get over the sticker shock of an $18 burger (welcome to the new economy) it's a very tasty item. The fresh sliced jalapeños instead of the easier pickled variety is a welcome touch. The smashed burgers were done thin and with a good crust... a very common failure for many places in Nashville claiming to do smash burgers. If they aren't 3-4 Oz and thin they aren't true smash. Great combo of flavors and not a ridiculously sized burger to get your mouth around. The fries were an ample portion and cooked properly... No Five Guys Flop here. I like mine with blue cheese dressing and I must say their dressing here was pretty wretched... almost soupy. They need some Ken's or something. I switched to ketchup. The server was great and friendly. Should have gotten her name. Would defintely return again. Great setup for the bar and seats to watch games. read more

I'm in town visiting my sister and she suggested going to Jonathan's since it had a vast variety of food. So we did, and it definitely did! The vibe and atmosphere is excellent, an our server was super friendly. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the chicken breast in my chicken platter. The chicken was not as tender as I would have enjoyed for $14; however, it wouldn't deter me to try the restaurant again. My son ordered Hawaiian pizza and absolutely loved it! (I should've ordered a gluten free pizza after seeing his!) The cool thing for someone with food allergies looking for a food allergy friendly place, the staff can modify the contents of your order. Definitely check out Jonathan's if you're looking for a casual, chill vibe! read more

I went with a buddy on a random Tuesday night to grab a bite before a late meeting. I have been to other locations since way back in 1999. The slope is going down to the bottom of the hill and despite the demand the quality has been forgotten. The service was less then polite and the food was sub par. The wings were warm at best and the entrees were less then enjoyable. As the Predators playoff game started the place remained empty and now I know why. No mas! read more

Came here at the recommendation of a friend. As the score reflects, not pleased with the experience. I ordered a cauliflower crust pizza with veggies and meats called The Works and my companion ordered the hot bacon cheese burger. Maybe it was just because we come from out of town, but we missed the part about how lettuce, tomato and pickles are available upon request and are neither automatic accoutrements nor suggested by the server, but the burger came out plain as could be and he was disgusted by it. When the server came to clear plates, he had clearly not eaten more than a bite and told her is was disgusting and she just smiled and said "sorry about that". While I was eating mine, it seemed like the crust had been cooked fine but the veggies on top had hardly cooked at all. I thought that was strange but it tasted okay so did not think much of it (plus I was hungry)..... until about 6 hours later that evening when I could barely move from the stomach pains. Now, I manage restaurants by profession and this was clearly a case of the crust having been precooked and the rest not cooked sufficiently. I have definitely eaten some questionable things with no stomach issues and this was the first time that I can recall actually suffering from something that I ate. Poor showing and I hope this was not typical. read more

Sharon was amazing!! Food was fast and delicious as always, will be back soon!!!!!!!!

Jonathan's Grill is a chain sports bar with many locations in Nashville but this review is for the Bellevue location. If there's any local bar I would go to if I wanted to watch some football or hockey and hangout it would be Jonathan's. There are some bars in Nashville that are such a hassle because its hard to find a spot at the bar and they are always packed, but luckily Jonathan's is really big and I never have a problem getting seated. The service is also good here. I've gone here several times for 2 for 1 beer specials which happen on particular days of the week but they have drink specials most nights. They have select appetizers that are $6 until 6 pm as well. The food is pretty decent, we've tried the following dishes: bam bam shrimp, chicken lettuce wraps, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken quesadilla, and the fajita nachos. Of these dishes probably the best was the bam bam shrimp. Overall a good place for anyone and I've seen a few kids here. It's casual but comfortable. read more
