Kids took me here for my 70th birthday and everything was delicious. I had the filet with lobster sauce and it was spectacular. The team was friendly and did a great job decorating the cake my wife brought and they sang well. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the staff took pride in their appearance and service. A delightful evening. Definitely going back. read more

This was my first time to try this place for lunch. The food was delicious. The ambiance was clean, crisp and very inviting. As soon as you walk in, you feel welcomed. Our service was very good. They do have a full bar. There is plenty of parking. The price point is above moderate, but you pay a little more for fresh ingredients. We are definitely going back when we are in the area. read more

Walked in thinking, meh average restaurant - walked out thinking: 3 star location hiding a 5-star restaurant. Rachel was our server and made us feel very valued. She was very knowledgeable and quick to suggest and deliver. The authentic drinks and perfectly prepared food! It was not overcrowded when we arrived with our party of 4 and 6p reservations. We closed the place. Rivals the chophouse in Nashville, just lacks that 'je ne sais quoi' for ambiance. read more

I'm stingy with bestowing five stars on any restaurant. And I figured there was no way I was going higher than four stars for an establishment at the end of a strip mall. Could it be that good? But as always, I give every business an equal opportunity no matter their location, because hidden gems can literally occupy any space. With a 4.5 on Yelp, a 4.8 on Open Table, and a 4.9 on Google, Serrato's is burning up the charts! However, we've been burned with countless restaurants in Franklin that aren't worth more than three stars, only to have Franklinites distribute perfect ratings like it's candy on Halloween. Would this be another letdown? The deck was stacked against them as Serrato's early acclaim gave us high expectations. And WOW, they absolutely met them! In a very modest kitchen in this unassuming establishment, Chef José Serrato and his assistants are working magic back there! After decades in the hospitality business, José opened his own restaurant in late 2021 in the old Fulin's space in Parkway Commins. And they deserve any and all accolades they receive! Coming from a family of professional chefs, I noticed that every dish was expertly prepared, and that Serrato's can hang with some of the best steakhouses in Middle Tennessee in this ultra-competitive market! What a find! Thank heavens for Yelpers who locate even the most obscure gems! The filet mignon is so tender, so perfectly prepared that it's better than any other beef within a 20-mile radius (it nearly matches the Wagyu beef at Nashville's Kayne Prime and Bourbon Steak, two of the best in the business). The crab and lobster butter on top was superb, and the scallops I added to this marvelous duo of filets were of very high quality with incredible texture and preparation. The flaky sea bass (the special of the night) and the tender airline chicken were also perfectly textured and spectacularly prepared. The charcuterie board is a fabulous starter with a great combination of meats and cheeses, and even some REALLY good olives and grapes! As a gourmet cook, one of my greatest pet peeves is that so many restaurants butcher mac and cheese. The sauce isn't right, there isn't real cheese, the quality of pasta is insufficient, or the flavor is just off. Thank heavens Serrato's executes a perfect truffle mac! The cheese is real and gooey and flavorful, the pasta shells are al dente, the truffle flavor is noticeable but not overwhelming, and the sauce is wonderful. Wow! Order that side! The fries are also amazing, perhaps cooked in duck fat for an incredible outer texture and inner tenderness. José, I am hard to impress. But you have impressed me to the max! We will return many times! read more

Tried this spot with friends. It presents as an upscale steak place located in the Target shopping center south of Franklin. Presentation of everything was quite lovely and overall a good experience. I had a salmon dish with a shrimp atop. The shrimp was actually a bit over cooked, I guess not surprising in a steak place. Friends who went steak route were very pleased. read more

We've been coming here since they opened. The food is always well prepared and delicious. The soup is amazing. Steak salad is gigantic and super yummy. Delicious drinks too. Specialty 'adobo burger' is one of the best burgers in the area, per my husband. And their steaks are outstanding. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out on a great, locally owned steak house. I also hear they have a delicous pork chop. Support your local, delicious, restaurants! read more

Serrato's Steakhouse food is awesome. We go there for special occasions or whenever we want a good steak dinner.

The food was just okay, and not worth the high prices. I've been to many steakhouses all over the country and if I had to pay this much, I would expect my steak to be prepared the way I ordered it. I ordered medium-rare and it came medium. :( If the prices were 15% less, I might recommend Serrato's. Other than that, the servers was awesome! I wish I could remember her name, but I remember she said she lived in California for a long time. She was super friendly and helpful! read more

Good service Good food Wonderful restaurant Everyone is alway polite, friendly and respectful Food - I order the calamari and shrimp and surf and turf ordered medium and my waitress even ask me to cut into it just to make sure it was to my liking. Only thing I did not like was I was cold but that not their fault ... I'm always cold and I was under the air conditioning- I could've moved but didn't read more

What a wonderful find! This place is tucked away in a strip mall and it is a gem! Parking is super easy, we were welcomed and seated promptly. We enjoyed some delicious, well priced wine while looking over the menu. I eat gluten free and love that there are designations on the menu about which items are ok for me. I chose a Caesar salad (no croutons) with salmon and hubby had a steak. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced, we will return read more

Phenomenal steakhouse. The food is delicious, the service is amazing, and the restaurant's decor is tasteful and upscale. Serrato's pricing is probably on par with Circa or Sperry's. The cost is certainly below Perry's steakhouse and Bourbon steakhouse. Point being: The food at Serrato's is not cheap, but you leave feeling like you got a delicious meal and great value for your money. The menu is not huge, but Serrato's is also a somewhat small establishment. It fortunately has all of the pillars of a good steakhouse: steaks, pork chops, some seafood, and salads. I have been to Serrato's multiple times, for lunches and dinners, and I leave impressed every time. I rotate between steak, salmon, and the pork chop. All have been very well cooked and seasoned. I do not normally write yelp reviews, but I feel like this place is worth it. If you are the mood for an upscale lunch or dinner spot that does not break the bank, Serrato's is a strong choice. read more

I was actually surprised that this place was decent for this area. We had the crispy calamari and shrimp. We both had steaks and they were cooked to our liking. The roasted Brussel sprouts were just okay...a little too chewy for me and we have had better at other similar restaurants. Asparagus was also just okay. Steaks and appetizers were great but sides could have been much better. Wine list pretty good too and atmosphere / service was very pleasant also. read more

We have gone here several times and always love it. It has outstanding food and ambience, but without the pretentiousness of several steakhouses. The service is also great. read more

Service, A+. Being "local", A+. Reasonable prices, A+. I so badly wanted to give this place 5-Stars, and it was pretty close. Here is the rub, and I think part fell on the kitchen, and the other was "luck of the draw" on what ribeye was selected. My son and I each got ribeye's. His was cooked perfect, and literally had no fat on. Here was the problem, I ordered mine medium/well. It was rare at best. but because it so dark in our booth, I couldn't really see this until we left/I brought it home, dark red/rare. The bigger problem, not necessarily the fault of the kitchen, was my particular ribeye was actually really fatty. Kind of disappointing to eat about 1/4 of the steak. All that said, I definitely give it another try. read more

We were visiting from California last month and so glad we found this amazing restaurant. A couple nights prior we ate at a highly rated steakhouse in Nashville and it was horrible. So bad that my friends said I should not be able to pick the next restaurant. Well I did and found Serrato's. We were seated right away by a friendly host and our waiter was the BEST. I believe his name was Julian. He was knowledgeable and made us laugh throughout the night. The drinks were really good and the steak was AMAZING. My best friend lives in Franklin and I was shocked to hear she has not found this gem yet. We will definitely return to this restaurant when we come back to visit. read more

My aunt and I ate here for a late lunch around 1:15. It is close to Kroger. We walked right in and sat at the bar. I had the grilled cheese minus tomato with a side of crispy fries. Very good. Fries are addictive. My aunt said the steak sandwich was the best steak sandwich she ever had, and she really enjoyed the side salad. Raspberry lemon drop martini was very good, but a little sweet for me, so I ordered a cosmopolitan. They asked do I prefer more sweet or tart for my cosmo, and I said tart. The cosmopolitan was the perfect color and tartness/dryness. Very friendly and accommodating servers and bartenders. read more

Hubby and I were out with friends another couple and were looking for a new restaurant experience on a Saturday night. A Yelp search for the downtown Franklin area suggested Serrato's might be a good option since one in our party is gluten intolerant. We called ahead to reserve a table, and we were able to get right in at 5:00. We were quickly escorted to a table in the center row of the restaurant. The table was lit by one small light in the center. The waitress gave us a bit of the history of the restaurant when we told her we were first timers - that was a nice touch. The menu provides a lot of options: salads, entrees such as shrimp and scallops, seared salmon, blackened salmon, bourbon-glazed pork chops, etc., in addition to a wide array of steak choices. Our table ordered the pork chops, salmon, and the shrimp and scallops entrees. Now, why would we order those items instead of steaks? Mainly price. Recognizing that beef prices are exceptionally high right now, the prices were more in line with those for special occasions or splurge nights, not a lazy Saturday night in January. Now, having said that, what we ordered was good - really good. I asked for bourbon glaze to go with my salmon, and it was delicious. Our biggest complaint, and it was unanimous among the 4 of us, is that the center row in the restaurant (where we were seated) was ridiculous DARK. We could barely read the menu options because of the low light. Additional overhead lighting in this area would be helpful. Would we go again? Probably. Will we order the pricey steak? Probably not unless it's an anniversary or other celebration. read more

If you haven't tried Serrato's Steakhouse - it's a hidden gem! It opened about a year ago and has delicious food, great service, and ambience and best of all, it's not packed! We saw the reviews and tried it for our anniversary dinner in June, and it was a great choice! Great steaks, crab bisque sensational & crème brûlée was so creamy. Went back again with the whole fam & perfect again. So accommodating. Jackie is a lovely manager & Julien was our waiter twice now. He's sweetest guy & right there if you need anything l.My new fav place! (Gave 5 star) I left my first review above. Been there a few more times & have to say it has gotten progressively worse. First, if you don't have a reservation they treat you like you have the plague. It was a Monday night, they were almost totally empty.! Please get a better attitude! Say something like "no problem we have plenty of tables!" Unfortunately that's not the way they act. This happened to my daughter too - at 3pm they had a large group after a basketball game. There was one table of people & the hostess told them they should have called first (not in a nice way). So on Monday we ordered the fish special & half of it was so undercooked that it was transparent & you couldn't cut it. Left half and showed the waiter and he offered no apology or credit. This was about $35 meal. (I heard that chef can't cook fish very well and isn't allowed to use a thermometer) What a shame, otherwise it would have been a good meal. I had steak sandwich and it was supposed to come with some type of sauce and it was just steak cheese, and some peppers, no sauce I had to ask for it. The sauce definitely added flavor. Not going back. read more

Excellent food and service. The hostess seated us quickly and the drinks came just as swiftly. I will definitely be back.

Like many of my reviews, this will be wordy but for a reason. Yes this is about Serrato's Steak House. LOL We moved to TN in 2022 from California. We moved to Kingston, TN. Well one thing we didn't take into consideration was our bank. We bank with Chase and the closest is in Nashville (2.5 Hour drive) at least until mid 2024. So every now and then when we have larger transactions we drive down to Nashville. Since we had never seen Franklin, we decided to make a day and look around. We researched some places to eat and Serrato's popped up and we decided to try it. I am glad we did. We were there relatively early for a dinner, around 4 pm but we wanted to get an early start back. We were with my wife's elderly disabled parents one of which needs a wheelchair. Serrato's is handicap accessible and we were sat with no issues. That is always a good thing considering many restaurants we have been to are not as disabled friendly as they claim. The waitress was a young girl I believe named Maddy. She was very friendly and also knowledgeable of the menu. this is very good considering my wife is somewhat picky. My wife asked for the wine list and after some time and some back and forths, she finally picked a wine. The waitress was very accommodating and never once gave any indication of being irritated. If anything, she was more apologetic and understanding. When it came time to order the food, my In-laws are not the easiest to wait on, but Maddy was a champ and handled my mother-in-law very well. We ended talking and told her why we were down there and where we moved from. She in turn told us about where she used to live. The service experience was a perfect score. Time to move on to the food. Oh yeah, I forgot another person, i am assuming one of the owners, came over to ask how everything was going. She asked about the service and I told her everything was great. Turns out that was the mother of our waitress. Fairly certain this is a family run business. :) Ok the FOOD part. Our order was 2 Filet Mignons, 1 Alaskan Halibut, 1 African Lobster Tail with a Filet. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing the food was. I ordered the Halibut. I love Halibut and this was simply excellent, albeit a tad bit over done and probably because I asked for pan seared. But, the flavor was still unbelievable. I ordered the vegetable medley because Maddy our server said it was really good with the sauce on the fish. She was right. My wife ordered the African Lobster of which we were told it would be a little sweet. Now being from California and having Lobster from all over the west coast including Alaska Lobster and East Coast from Maine, we have never had African Lobster. She was right again. The lobster has a sweet taste to it. It was a pleasant surprise. Now the filet. I am not going to lie. It wasn't the best filet I have ever had. However, there were no complaints and it was still amazing. The filet had a nice crust and solid flavors. The only issue was that the temperature was a little off. Not a huge deal and by no means a deal breaker. I completely forgot about their crab bisque. It was I think tomato based, but super creamy and very tasty. Yum yum yum. There is much more, like the garlic bread, and the mixed cocktails. However, I will simply say, Serrato's is well worth a try and even a return visit when we go back down. Super friendly place. read more

Serrato's is a terrible waste of money and time. . What a disappointment! We had reservations having heard fairly good reviews. I ordered a steak sandwich. The food that arrived (lukewarm) was in fact a stringy mess. There was No steak; just a small amount of stringy flavorless mess of gristle and fat.I could not eat it. With my side salad I asked for salad dressing on the side and asked three times before the dressing arrived. The server said she asked other people to bring dressing for me but in the end it was the server's responsibility. We brought our own wine as the liquor license was non existent. Do not waste $ going to Serratôs . Perry's and 1799 both spectacular steak/Seafood cuisine are just a mile down the street. read more

We traveled from out of town to celebrate a birthday with family. This restaurant is very small and a bit cramped. We were seated in the middle, and several wait staff ran into our chairs as they moved through. Our server was kind, helpful, and funny. He provided excellent service and gave good recommendations for their menu, as well as other things to do in the area. Drinks were ok, not well mixed for the cocktails and the wine was cheaper by the glass than by the bottle. Steaks were very good. The asparagus was huge and tough so we ended up not even eating it. One of the servers was very rude as we were waiting to be seated, telling us we couldn't block the door (but there was nowhere else to wait, and had she asked us to move we would have gladly done so). read more

In the mood for something more than fried food or bbq. We found this pleasant steakhouse in Franklin. Tried to go the Fox and Locke, but not in the mood for rich food. We spontaneously found "Serrato's Steakhouse " , which is located in strip mall. This was a great find!! The hand cut ribeye was perfectly cooked to a medium rare. In addition, we added a serrato's house salad with jalapeño honey dressing that was plenty for my wife and I to share. Paired with House Old Fashioned that had a"luxardo cherry" perfect!! First time in Tennessee, and celebrating my birthday. The chef Scotty and Lauren our waitress made things so memorable . I appreciate their attentiveness and hospitality. My wife doesn't like mushrooms, but the vegetables medley contained shiitake and oyster mushrooms sautéed with garlic and butter, opened her palate to a meaty option in the family of "mushrooms ". Everything was delicious. Thank You read more

Stopped in for a late lunch with my husband on a Friday afternoon. Tucked into a strip mall, this quiet restaurant was a really nice place to spend an hour. We decided to enjoy the air conditioning & were seated in a booth. The restaurant is a little darker indoors, but felt cozy. They have a limited lunch menu, but I still felt like there were plenty of options. I enjoyed my cup of crab bisque, though I do wish it was a tad warmer when it was served (please note, I chose to have this come out with the main course, not as an appetizer). The house salad was served with a delicious tangy jalapeño honey vinaigrette that wasn't spicy & really added a nice level of flavor to the salad. My husband also felt the adobo pork burger was excellent, as were the fries. I'd definitely go back to try dinner another time. read more

What a great local spot for a date night or a family dinner! We came early before our reservation for a drink at the bar. I requested a Mocktail and she whipped me up something yummy. Our server was really nice, told us all about the specials that sounded great. Started with the flatbread that tasted like it had fresh mushrooms and a delicious sauce. Could have used just a minute more in the oven though as it was a tad doughy. Dinner, I had a glorious garden salad (watermelon radishes are sooooo good) with perfectly cooked salmon and seriously THE BEST jalapeño honey dressing. Husband had a giant ribeye that was also cooked to perfection and a few sides (mashed potatoes - a tad garlicky, Mac & Cheese that had truffle, and asparagus). All and all the food was really so good! Can't wait to put this in our Franklin restaurant rotation for future visits. read more

Ambiance - Nice place. Tables up the middle with booths along one wall. The booths are set for 4 but are much better suited for 2 people. The tables in the middle are much bette for parties of 4. There is a small bar with one tv (that I noticed) which had football on it. No matter how good a restaurant is, if the bathrooms are gross, I rarely return. The bathrooms at Serrato's Steakhouse are wonderful and clean. Phew! Much appreciated. Service - Our server (Christine) was a delight. Super attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I also love it when servers have an opinion on menu items. Food - There were so many items on the menu that we wanted to try. We ended up not getting mains and instead got two appetizers (fried calamari/shrimp and a mushroom flatbread) and two salads (wedge and Caesar). The calamari/shrimp was cooked perfectly and were tender. Not overcooked which often happens with fried calamari. The flatbread was good and had fresh mushrooms. Both salads were made with fresh and snappy produce. Sadly, a good salad is hard to find in TN. ‍ Coming back again soon to explore more of the menu. Keep up the good work Serrato's! read more
