Wow! Wow! Wow! This was our first time at Star Rover, and it's definitely on our radar to return. Staff took amazing care of us, I think her name was Abby Grace.. I could be remembering wrong, but she was so sweet and walked us through the menu and gave great recommendations! The food.. best filet I've had. The rolls are the right amount of fluffy and delicious. The desserts.. seriously the list could go on. Such an amazing place for our anniversary dinner!

I cannot say enough nice things about the staff at Star Rover. From the time we walked in, the staff were incredibly kind. They knew who we were, they know we were on our honeymoon and just completely won us over. They were able to make a mocktail for me and made sure to ask about allergies My husband tried the 76er challenge. He didn't finish it but he put a good dent in it! They boxed it up and he was able to take it home to finish it. They sat us right in the middle of the floor and in front of the stage. They had live music and it was a great soundtrack to dinner. If you come to Nashville, you HAVE to go to Star Rover!!

Great vibes. Great food. Can't believe I haven't been here before. The service was amazing and we felt like we were eating in someone's backyard! Loveeeeeee the cheeseburger

I'm in town for a few days, and my best friend--who recently moved here--insisted, "Maram, I have to take you to this awesome place." And awesome it was, indeed. I haven't been truly impressed by a place in a long, long time. From the intimate ambiance to the thoughtful details and attentive service--it was an experience. Apparently, there was a live band scheduled, but since we didn't have reservations, we had to leave a bit early. The menu? Simple and to the point. No overwhelming list of options--just pick your steak, tell them how you want it cooked, and they take care of the rest. Perfect. We started with two rolls of warm, super-yummy bread--honestly, more like amazing. Next came a generously sized salad for each of us. And wow--what was that?! Fresh lettuce, a few rings of onion, crisp cucumbers, the most amazing croutons, and a creamy blue cheese dressing that wasn't overpowering--just right. Topped with crispy bacon bits... it felt like it was made with love. I practically inhaled it. Then came the steak--served on a bed of melted brown butter. What??? It was perfect. Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Alongside came a basket of crispy wedge fries and golden onion rings. Folks, this place is no joke. And then--dessert. I ordered a single scoop of ice cream, expecting the usual. Instead, it came in a drinking glass, layered with saltine crackers, a hint of salt, and who knows what else--but it was hands down the best ice cream I've had in a long time. Maybe I'm exaggerating... but you really need to go try it for yourself to understand what I mean! To the team: amazing job. Thank you! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

We went here for valentines day and it was a blast! We were seated in front where the stage is, although we didnt stay long enough to watch them. Order your drink and cut you want and the rest they'll bring to you. As someone who wants a little bit of everything, I loved this style of dining. We both got the ribeye which came with one of the most delicious salads you could imagine, rolls, fries, and onion rings. Onion rings arent always my favorite but it was fun to try them. And the rolls.. if you know you know. I was way too full to get the brown butter saltine soft serve, but ill be returning just for it.

Visited the Star Rover to attempt their 76er steak challenge. After some easy communication with the management to get a time set up, we arrived to an empty house (it was right when they opened) at 6:00 on a Thursday. They let us pick our table to be most comfortable got to waiting, only about 20 minutes for my giant meal as well as my wife's. She got the 6 our sirloin and thought it was an amazing steak. She also really loved the salad, but could hardly touch her fries and onions because of the sheer size of her meal. Mine was also amazing, for being a novelty steak or roast maybe, it tasted really good and was cooked to a near perfect medium rare. I was able to complete the challenge in about 35 minutes, winning my meal for free and a tshirt which actually wear. The staff was amazing and supportive, continually checking on us and comments how impressed they were with how i was going on the steak. Loved the support. All in all was a great dinner and would definitely get a regular steak there again if we make it back to Nashville.

Oh man if I could eat here every time I went out I would. But of course good things are sometimes limited and Star Rover is only open Friday-Sunday. Star Rover is serving up perfectly cooked, well seasoned steak on their limited menu. You pick your cut and then get rolls, salad and onion rings included. All of which are so tasty! Also got a slice of apple pie for dessert. We went on a night where they had live music for an hour, the band was great! We will totally be back!

This is a "real-time" review. That's right, I'm writing this while I'm eating! First off... I am a self proclaimed steak snob. I've had the privilege of eating steaks at Gallagher's in New York, Don Shula's in Florida, Wolfgang's in Hawaii, Cattlemen's in California, Maestro's in Las Vegas, Joe's in Washington DC, And I cook a pretty mean New York if I do say so myself. I LOVE a good steak! I had heard great things about Star Rover based on some videos about their 72 oz (4.5 lb) challenge. Since I'm in Nashville, I owed myself a good steak dinner. I quickly made reservations through OpenTable. Easy -peasy lemon squeezy! I arrived a few minutes late. My own fault. I was quickly seated and received the menu. This is a steak house through and through. They serve steak and that's all (they do have a chicken dish for the cow lovers but that's it). After a few minutes, I placed my order. My waitress, Paige was very pleasant and got me started with an Old Fashioned from the bar. I ordered a 10 oz ribeye. This came with salad, bread, fries, and onion rings. The old fashioned arrived first. Well made. Nice orange peel. On point. Missing the cherry. The bread arrived second. Nice bun with a salt and butter encrusted top. Kind of tasted like sea salt. Not too heavy, but could have been lighter on the salt. Soon the salad arrived. A little unusual. Rough cut iceberg lettuce, cucumber, blue cheese crumbles, smoked bacon, red onion, and some strange, fairly bland dressing. No options for dressing substitution. I would have preferred blue cheese dressing and a few cherry tomatoes to perk everything up. Soon the main event arrived. Paige encouraged me to cut into the steak to make certain it's cooked the way I like it. Nice! They take pride in their product! The steak was perfectly cooked - medium rare (because anything beyond is uncivilized) and seasoned perfectly. But alas, the first two bites literally took me 5 minutes to chew. It was as if I was chewing a thirty year old tire with retreads! No bueno! The steak came with fries and onion rings. The fries were overly cooked and kind of burned. I just pushed them aside. The onion rings were the star of the show. So far, we're in 2 star Yelp! review territory! Then oh how the stars aligned... Paige returned, filled my water, brought me a second Old Fashioned (this time it had the Luxardo cocktail Cherry - Proper!). She asked how I was enjoying my steak... Moment of truth... I explained the problem. Paige sent the manager (I did not get their name) over. They quickly arrived and took things to task. They promptly switched me up to a filet mignon. Shortly thereafter, another employee approached me. Their name is Alison. They brought me a second round of fries and onion rings. MUCH BETTER! And I didn't even mention the fries from earlier! Soon the fillet arrived. I took one bite and we did not strike gold... no, we found platinum! Delicious! I gave a big thumbs up to Alison who was waiting with baited breath. Another gentleman, Casey from New York came by to refill my water. He looks like a biker without the leather, wore skinny jeans, biker boots, and has an epic beard that would make any self respecting Viking proud! Great guy! Everyone was very attentive. Paige and I talked baseball. Alison and I talked about steak houses around the nation. I ordered the apple pie (of course I did) for dessert. It's not like grandma used to make, but it's passable and has good flavor. So a near two star review became four stars in the twinkling of an eye! Why not five stars you ask? There's always room for improvement. Like others have said, they are a little heavy handed on the salt. The minute differences in bar drinks (I know it's only a cherry but it's the little things that matter sometimes). And the obvious quality control in the kitchen makes me wonder. Could have just been a one-off. It's forgivable. But the shining star is their customer service and pride in the end result. They even comped me the pie for the faux pas - totally unnecessary but appreciated. So if I could give them a 4.99999 stars, I would. They also have live music at 9pm, but I'll be long gone by then. I'll definitely come back and tell my (non vegan) friends who are visiting Nashville all about Star Rover!

Love this restaurant! All the sides are included with the price. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Oh and the onion rings were the best I've ever had. Seriously they were amazing! Not one ounce of grease and the batter was amazing! Cooked to a perfect golden brown. The fries were great as well. Great value for the money and excellent service! Loved the atmosphere Highly recommend this restaurant away from the strip in German Town.

Food was really good and fair for the price. Atmosphere was good for a casual steak and prices were really fair. You can get out for around 100$ with two people especially without alcohol. Service was solid. Our waiter was good but seemed busy with other tables. Will go back again.

This place has ruined other restaurants for me! Coming from out of town, I had heard about Star Rover and immediately made a reservation. I feel like it is rare that a place lives up to the hype but this 100% did! The food was amazing, service was incredible (and personable) and it was just such a unique concept! I wish I could come here every day. I will definitely be back!!! & don't forget to try the rolls....

An excellent place to see live music without the crowd and scene of Broadway with good (inexpensive!) food but some kinks to still work out with service and food/menu. I'm a huge fan of Ford Fry's restaurants. The Optimist Atlanta is one of my favorite restaurants ever and I am a frequent visitor to his other Nashville spots. I've been wildly anticipating Star Rover Sound, a somewhat more casual spot focused on live music (one of my favorite things) and some of my most favorite foods, all on the same menu (tacos! crispy fries! CEVICHE! queso!) I came with two friends and we grabbed a couple of cocktails at Le Loup before heading down to the show at Star Rover right at 8, when the band starts. Even though it was pretty full, we only had to wait 5 or so min to snag the last free table. Service was really fast and we ordered a mix of tacos, margaritas, and some fries and chips and queso to share. The queso was perfection. Very lightly spicy, fresh, salty, thin chips. A+ My friend's favorite were the fries - crinkle cut, with the most perfect ranchero on the side. The tacos feel like a work in progress to me. We all got chicken tacos and all found them so spicy we couldn't actually eat them. I also wish the menu had clarified the chicken was fried, because that wasn't the vibe I was looking for and I would have gotten something else. My friends liked their chorizo and potato taco but also found the beef taco spicier than expected (though at least eatable). Service was...a bit odd. Our server came super often but didn't get us basic stuff like cutlery or napkins or water. I was confused if he was trying to rush us out or something, which felt odd because we wanted to kind of leisurely enjoy the music (and there is a $10 cover for the music.) At the end of our meal, it was nice that he split the apps but the rest of our checks were completely wrong and had the wrong items attributed to the wrong person. A weird service experience overall. The incredible live music, chips, queso, and fries redeemed this experience for me. I'll definitely be back and hope some of the weird things we experienced are just kinks still being worked out.

This place is exactly what Germantown needed. Live music with an old school, classic and cool honky tonk vibe. The service is quick and friendly, and the food and drinks are reasonably priced and delicious. It's elevated tex mex fare, but because they're connected to the optimist (same owners I think) they also have some super fresh seafood like a tuna tostada. Also tried the Paloma and frozen marg, which I think were $9 each - hard to beat in Germantown especially with live music to watch! Overall, highly recommend for a fun night out and delicous food with friends!
