    Filet Oskar Asparagus Hollandaise Mango and Sausage Mushrooms
    Jessica L.

    Great local steakhouse! I love that it brings you back to a classy simple time, before Nashville had all these big chain steakhouses. The steak was cooked exactly how I liked it. I got the filet with their house steak sauce. We also got the asparagus and mushrooms. The mushrooms were so unique and sweet with the mango. I like that all steaks come with a salad. The service was super friendly and helpful on what to choose.

    Delicious as always! We l love our waiter, he guided us to some great new options. It was graduation weekend, so nice a busy, but such a fun atmosphere. We will never not promote Sperry's!

    My Husband and I came here for our 4th wedding anniversary. They got us seated right as we walked in and we felt secluded and private even though the dining room was full. Our server was a long-time employee and was very knowledgeable and made our menu selection easy! We got our picture taken and a hand written anniversary card with the printed photo. We loved every minute and the experience was one we won't forget.

    It is hard to argue with a restaurant that your parents have been going to for 40+ years because they are obviously doing something right. Sperrys has long been a Nashville staple and will continue to do so for many years to come. Any place that has a cold, fresh, salad bar with all the "fixins' " gets my vote. As you can see, I am a crouton and thousand island fan. Not much more to say about the salad bar besides more restaurants should have them. The mango/sausage stuffed mushrooms were incredible. The sweetness of the mango paired perfectly with the savory and umami flavors of the sausage and mushrooms, topped with a huge helping of cheese. The steak, cooked perfectly medium rare was good, not my favorite steak in Nashville but very consistent each time. There is something to be said about a place that never gets the "cook" wrong. If I had any suggestion for the steak itself it would just be more flavor/seasoning (salt/pepper). Who can forget the bread? Pretty standard loaf, nothing groundbreaking, just a consistently good taste. You have to order the banana foster, prepared table-side and not pictured but an amazing show and bite. This is not a blow your socks off restaurant, it isn't trying to be. No loud blaring music, not inspired by a Miami or New York interior designer. This is the place your mom and pop went, and your son and daughter should try. Just a very good restaurant, with good food and great prices.

    Crab cakes
    Freddy D.

    Nicely decorated and bustling atmosphere. The prime rib and lamb chops were both terrific. The appetizers we tried were the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail. The crab cakes were top notch. The salad bar was popular and prices reasonable. We ordered the bananas foster for dessert and enjoyed the show. They didn't taste amazing, but it's fun to have. Parking is a catastrophe. The spots are too small for a mini cooper. So don't bring the SUV or pickup. The hostess was quite prompt and friendly. However, our waitress wasn't top notch. We found ourselves waiting on her and being skipped by multitudes of times. She wasn't cordial until delivering the check. The tip she received reflected the quality of service she rendered.

    An amazing no-frills statehouse in Nashville! Old school ambiance, friendly/attentive service, large portions, and great steak for a great price. My husband ordered the prime rib and loved it. I ordered the crab cakes - everything was tasty! Will be back.

It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch in Nashville, albeit probably in line for 12S. My partner's French toast was little burnt. The best thing was the truffle parm fries, but mainly because of the dipping sauce. I had the Beverly Club but it wasn't anything special and a little pricy for what it is.
