This place accommodated a party of 12 on relatively short notice on a Friday night after Vanderbilt Graduation. They were busy and the service was spot on. We had 3 kids so we ordered their food immediately and it was served quickly and was delicious. We all ordered steaks and one salmon. It was all delicious. Our server was Irena and she was amazing. Very patient as our party came in at all different times and the kids where happy to be out. I highly recommend this place!

I'll have to admit that we are regulars at Sperry's, so my review may be a little bias. It is convenient to my home, and they are welcoming to my small children. It's a classic steakhouse that may not compare to some of the more posh local steakhouses such as Kayne Prime. However, they always prepare my steak perfectly, and the service is outstanding. They have a great bar and happy hour, and the desserts are always great. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. This is one of those places for me, and I'm happy with that.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there this past Saturday night. I chose the filet Oscar and it was truly delicious! It was a very generous portion cooked to perfection! He chose a queen cut prime rib and said it was outstanding. The salad bar that was included in the cost of the meal was very good. What blew my mind the most was the delivery of coffee in a French press. I've never found that high quality delivery of coffee in a restaurant before. Consumed with a Brandy Alexander made with real ice cream, this was a splendid ending to an ideal meal. Yes, the prices are high, but justified.

Excellent ambiance. Some people don't like the mood lighting but it suited me just fine. The food here is phenomenal but pricey. If you are a foodie, then you won't mind dropping some dough for the steak. It's that good. I got the Prince William (filet with bleu cheese stuffed in the middle) and was definitely not disappointed.

Last Christmas my husband and I received a gift certificate to Sperry's. It was amazing food. ( it was last year so I don't have details to share with you.) We decided to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Sperry's this year. We've never eaten out on Thanksgiving before, but our daughter lives out of town now, so it was only four of us. Weighing the options~ cooking and doing dishes for 4 ~seemed like more work than I was up to. We had a reservation at 2:30 PM and were seated immediately. We started with appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and oysters ( delicious ) and champagne which was about $60 a bottle ( 2 bottles ). All four of us chose the turkey dinner, and it was delicious ( turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry chutney and green beans ). The atmosphere was excellent. The fire was blazing, candles were lit, the room was dark ~ all windows are stained glass, so little outside light. The bill was lower than we expected, although I don't remember the exact amount. We had a great time and are considering making Sperry's our Thanksgiving dinner spot from now on. The only downside? No leftovers. :)

Ate here for the first time last night with my mom. We had a $50 giftcard, the only thing I'll caution you on is the price. We probably wouldn't have ate here because it's a little too expensive for us.. $36 for an 8oz filet and an additional $5 for a potato. But with that in mind, the food was AMAZING! The filets cut like butter. They have their own seasoning on the table that makes the steak perfect. The double baked potato was the best I've ever eaten, seasoned perfectly and very creamy. We ordered the banana foster for 2 for dessert and it was magical, very sweet. As long as the price doesn't scare you, it's worth it. The food is top notch. Oh, and since we were celebrating my mom's birthday they gave here a free piece of chocolate cake to go and took a picture and printed it out and left a birthday note. Nice special touch.

Food was good but nothing exceptional for the price. Not really any better than any other steakhouse. Service was sub par as the waitress made no hesitation to try to move our party out for the next group. Will not return.

My favorite restaurant in Nashville. Great place to celebrate as well. I've had nothing but exceptional service each and every time I go. Has a vibe of old steakhouse and English pub. Salad bar? Couldn't comment since I've never used it- I prefer the wedge with bleu cheese and bacon. My strip, although no better than I can cook, was definitely a great steak. Get the tableside bananas foster or the bread pudding to end. I like the half price wine as well. I'll be back as many times as I'm able. A must have- martini with the bleu cheese olives. And that smell when you walk in? Don't sweat it- it's just the smell of old, rich, white people.

a friend recommended this place and we were not disappointed. I had their shrimp and grits which was great (BBQ and bacon added a different twist on the traditional). My husband had the tilapia with almonds. The atmosphere was the best part, dark wood paneling and old paintings gives the feel of a country English pub with class. Very enjoyable dining experience for us with soft lighting (service was a little slow and we had to ask for our water glasses to be filled). Peppermint ice cream with their chocolate sauce was delicious but tasted like it had been in the freezer too long.

Sperry's is not a bad place but it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sperry's is much ado about nothing, really. Mind you, I'm not saying Sperry's is bad. But it ain't great. And please, if I hear one more person go on about the "salad bar" and how good the "salad bar" is and WOW what a great "salad bar" .... please, enough about the salad bar. You go to Sperry's to eat meat, not salads.

Old School, dark and dingy, no windows, always feels like a lockdown. Happy Hour a must, $6 large cocktails, $3 wine and $2 beer. Happy food the largest portions in town $7. Three prime rib slides and shoestring fries, yum and a whole baked brie for another $7. Full up. Have never actually had a full-dinner - the fireplace in the bar will ignite on October 1st so go hunker down on a rainy night with a martini and some sticky toffee pudding. Nice friendly service.
We went to the Sperry's located in Cool Springs for dinner with my parents. The atmosphere is wonderful, very old school and classic. We had 1/2 our wine bottle, which was nice. Our food was really good and remained up to their standards of excellence. I had the rainbow trout, my fiance had the prime rib, my mother had the lobster tails, and my father had the scallops that where served over fried green tomatoes. The salad bar was your typical salad bar...the homemade dressings made it. I was only disappointed in the price. Don't get me wrong, I understand you get great service and quality of food prep. Honestly I was shocked what they charged in comparison to what we got. Definitely watch your wallet if you're not willing to spend around $50 a person.

Have been coming here for quite a long time, longer than I want to admit. The food has always been good. The salad bar is great a blast from the 70's, but glad to have a place that offer this as a choice. The smoked salmon appetizer and escargot are delish. The drinks are great and you get your money's worth. Happy hour is a great time. I do have to admit that the kitchen is not always consistent as they should be, but they are always quick to fix anything that is not prepared to your liking. The staff is very professional and always aim to please. A place for the natives/regulars for sure, but a nice place to take out of town guests.

Negative review redacted as restaurant and manager definitely made up for it. I've been back for happy hour a few times and aside from the fact that they always sell out of prime rib sliders their food is pretty good. The shrimp cocktail is a great deal.

The service was exceptional but the food was mediocre at the best. My date ordered the crab cakes and they were superb. I ordered the Prince William fillet and it was so tough! I expect a better fillet for that price. If I go back I will not order beef and stick to the salad bar and the crab

I frequently come with a friend on holidays when the entrees are half price. We went on Labor Day and had a fine meal; both of us had beef. The wine was half price by the bottle as well. Our server was attentive, but not too much so. My usual Manhattan was large and fixed correctly. We both enjoyed the kidney bean salad on the salad bar and of course the Green Goddess dressing truly turns back the pages of time. My favorite dessert is the peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce. It's a bit on the expensive side, but these special deals for holidays always make me come back.

Food was good as always...however customers in this place are annoying and I was eating dinner when an older guy sitting next to me passed gas on more than one occasion. Also noticed on the trip the kitchen isn't so clean...food good atmosphere and customers stuck up snobby type...
