Long-standing, tavern-like steakhouse for surf ‘n’ turf, a long wine list & a salad bar.

Everything from start to finish was delicious. The bread was light and fluffy on the inside with a nice crispy outer shell. The Ahi tuna stack was full of vibrant citrus that melded perfectly with the avocado and fish. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the crab cake was impeccable and topping it all off with the banana’s foster was one of the best choices I’ve made at a restaurant in a long time. The entire experience was wonderful except for one thing; this place is LOUD. We were told we were lucky to be seated in the “quiet” part of the dining room, but it was far from quiet and did bring down the experience. It won’t stop us from coming back but don’t expect to be able to have a conversation without raised voices while your visiting.

Awesome place. Our waiter Sean was great. Old school salad bar. I only wish I made room for the Banana Foster dessert…next time.
Oh- love to see the youth come in blazers and dresses. There is nothing like seeing the tradition.

Ask for Scott, he was a wonderful waiter! He made us feel very welcomed and was super accommodating- although we did not need anything special, but he offered”we can make it happen” which was great! We had the filet, Caesar salad, creamed spinach and loaded grits…. I forgot to take pictures of the entree and sides because we dove in to eat quickly! Then for dessert, we ordered the espresso brownie which came a la mode. We also got the carrot cake for our celebration. All I can say is whoa…. Even if you do NOT eat carrot cake, you would seriously enjoy this one. It was incredible. The hostess was very accommodating as well. Drinks and wine were a bit overpriced, the bottle of wine we chose was $80. Fyi. It was a special occasion so we weren’t really concerned with prices. I would recommend!!!!

Wow! I ate at Sperry’s for the first time on Saturday night, and you can tell why it’s been a Nashville staple for 50+ years. I had the crab cakes as I don’t eat red meat, and they were delicious. I also have a great dirty gin martini. Sean was our server, and he was super fun and knowledgeable. Sperry’s is overall a wonderful experience!

Reservations were easy. The entire experience was an absolute pleasure. The food was EXCELLENT. Our waiter was kind, patient and courteous. Due to our seating area, we couldn’t help but notice how well the staff coordinated with each other and several of them stopped by to see if we needed anything. The ambience was fantastic.

We came to Sperry’s the night before we got engaged and had such a beautiful memorable meal! Our server was so welcoming and attentive. The food was beautiful and we loved the salad! The restaurant was super busy and bustling – a local favourite, which was nice to come across as a tourist!

We went specifically for the king crab legs, and they did not disappoint. Usually King Crab is either small or just feels “old”. This was neither. Some of the best king crab I’ve had outside of Alaska. The crab cakes were also great. Great texture (lump crab) and great flavor. The salad bar was nice with a decent amount of options. Everything else was just good, not amazing.
The restaurant itself was an older style, and it felt a little cramped inside. I especially noticed when going to and from said salad bar.

First time visiting this restaurant. It was amazing! We took family out for dinner who were visiting from out of town and they absolutely loved it as well. I had the chicken breast with mushroom sauce, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. My dinner partners had the salmon, filet minion with shrimp, and pork chop, all with rave reviews! I very highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a good idea to have a reservation, unless you arrive at 4:00pm when they open. We were seated quickly and well attended to, making it to the Cheekwood Estate in plenty of time for our 6:00 pm visit.

Awesome all the way around. Food was only surpassed by the service. This was our first time at Sperry’s but it will not be our last.
My prime rib was wonderful, my wife had lobster and we shared a crap cake, all fantastic. Wonderful fresh salad bar.
Service was outstanding .
Atmosphere was great, a little nosey but great.

Everything was outstanding from the warm welcoming as we entered to the sincerely delivered “thank you for coming” as we left, could not have been better. It was a fantastic dining experience, our server “Uncle Joe” was a true professional who, along with the entire server team proved to be well trained in guest satisfaction. Obviously, those attributes only enhanced the meticulously prepared food which tasted amazing (compliments to the Chef/kitchen crew). We live in Florida but will certainly make another dining experience here on our next trip to Nashville. Thank you to the entire staff for exceeding our expectations and providing a memorable evening for my wife and me!
