I added the sausage gravy over biscuits and honestly, it made the meal. But the real highlight? The hot chocolate. Hands down one of the best I've ever had -- creamy, perfectly sweet, and seriously memorable. If you're a hot chocolate fan, this alone is worth a visit.

Our server was knowledgeable about Nashville so that was a great conversation with her. The food was mediocre - I had the avocado toast that did not have a lot of avocado but it was ok. I wanted an over easy egg but they only have scrambled eggs. My husband had scrambled eggs, potato's and bacon...again nothing special. Go for the view from the 6th floor!

The meatballs were delicious and not too salty, the mozzarella sticks could have been a little meltier but were still good, eggplant parm was delicious as was the shrimp scampi. For dinner, we got the chicken Parmesan (my favorite , esp when eaten with the chicken ragu rigatoni), the mushroom pizza (not our favorite), and the spicy papardelle, which was also really enjoyable. Things changed for dessert - the tiramisu was fine, but the chocolate budino was way too hard and not mousse like and the gelato was more like ice cream than gelato and was way gummy. Would definitely recommend for mains and apps but not for dessert!

Inside the restaurant it was very loud (music) and hard to hear even when you're trying to lean in and pay attention. We ordered the "dinner for 2" that's $49 at the time. We agreed that most of the food felt warm and dry. When it comes to the tacos, we felt that some of the protein/meats were dry (and again was warm and on the soggier side.) Overall it's not a horrible place to have dinner especially if you want a quick bite, though I feel that it could be better. My personal rating: 3.2/5

I ordered the thigh/leg quarter piece with side of criss cut fries, side of 2 waffles, and dipped in the comeback sauce washed down with the sweet tea offered The chicken was fried perfectly, piping hot crunch on all corners seasoned well, tender in the middle, oddly letting it sit for some time you can taste all the oil that sits on the chicken when it is luke warm not its best taste, best to have it on site while it is piping hot, yes it is messy so be prepared to clean up a mess the waffles were small but piping hot, fluffy but slightly dense you can taste how dense after the second bite, add butter or syrup to force it down, again when piping hot delicious luke warm you can taste the inconsistencies the criss cut fries were a bonus to the meal, piping hot and crunchy on most parts pretty much dipped everything on that comeback sauce, I do recommend that sauce the bread pudding for me was sad upset, unless you get to the bottom your not gonna get to your bread pudding, it is layered with ice cream on top and meshed with the bread pudding, you have to pass the top layer to get to your bread pudding if you are in the area and want to sample Nashville's version fried chicken this would be a good interpretation, again best to have it onsite and immediately if you are getting this delivered your missing out, always have it piping hot food ***.5 good when piping how luke warm not so great service **** very helpful staff, friendly price $$ ambiance **** loud, open air, windy due to the fans going off, but the vibe was good in here

I'm going to start this review saying the gumbo I had at The Southern Steak & Oyster was the best…read moregumbo I had in my life! It's my last night in Nashville so I want to go to a bang zoom restaurant. A few of my co workers have said to me: Mr Bill, we see every night you're going out to some amazing spots. Mind if we tag along? Sure, the rules are to keep your fork outta my plate when we sit down. Deal? The restaurant is very large, we're shown to our table. Set in the middle of the dining room and facing the bar. The bar can seat at least 25 people, the restaurant is set up for fun. To get our party started, I ordered a well crafted cocktail: Tea'd Up Old Fashioned Made with Bourbon, Black Tea and House Barrel Aged Bitters. Funky?? Oh yeah I'm with a bunch of Military Veterans and they're telling me their crazy stories. I'm sippin' my Old Fashioned and taking it all in, we need to bond over drinks and crazy things we all drank overseas. As an adult, I can appreciate my Nashville TN Old Fashioned with Black Tea. While we're talking, our waitress drops off a plate of homemade biscuits. The biscuits are fire! Buttery, flakey and moist, The Southern Steak & Oyster can make a damn good biscuit. Next, my Gumbo comes to me. The first taste I can tell this is a chef'd up dish. Better than anything I had in New Orleans. This gumbo is filled with Andouille, Crawfish, Shrimp and Fried Okra. Very flavorful indeed. My last entree in Nashville will be Fish 'N Grits. Fresh fish topped with Spicy Tasso Ham over Sweet Potato Grits and Bacon Braised Cabbage. This is a flavorful dish, the grits are very creamy and the cook on the fish was spot on. We had a great night at The Southern Steak & Oyster, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant.

I can only write a Pros and Cons as I…read morewant to be fair Pros 1) selection of oysters is fantastic 2) the Shuckers really are carrying the bar seating 3) everyone is super nice Cons 1) now remember I was at the bar seating, Other than the shuckers and who I think are awesome. On one visit with only a few of us there our bartender disappeared for a good 20 minutes. Upon his return he was focused on everything but the 5 of us in the place until we finally had to ask to get service. The other visit everyone helped me but the actual server. Maybe this is a staffing problem, I don't know but being stuck for 20 minutes to order another drink with my meal is not acceptable. Although they had that check in my hand in under a minute and in under another minute to process. Again, super nicer people, but kind of oblivious. 2) Now let's talk about the kitchen. And I'm adding some input from the other diners because we all sat there waiting. - flavors are great, but the salt and spice level is overboard. I had the mushroom appetizer and nearly choked/coughed to death. I like heat but this was raw spice that overpowered the dish. And the salt about made my feet swell into balloons. Such a shame because the idea is great just poor execution - deviled eggs. Pass - BBQ Shrimp, sort of like the mushrooms right profile but overpowering - gumbo. Two other people had the gumbo and when I asked they said that too is just over spiced I want to like this place, but probably my last visit unless I just come for oysters. Sorry

It was very creamy and filling! The only thing that would have been nice was some vegetarian options. Even the salads had meat, which I get, it's Tennessee after all! But a few options for vegetarians would be nice. Overall, I loved the relaxed vibe and the comfort food while listening to some live music!

Overall, it's a great place to hang out!
