Our favorite restaurant in Sparta! Brothers Tavern is consistently delicious, and you can tell from the moment you walk through the door that this family-owned restaurant knows what they're doing. Brothers Alex and Justin come from a long line of professional restaurateurs, and that experience really shows. The location is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it's the perfect place whether you're enjoying a family dinner or sitting casually at the bar. Everyone is friendly, the service is timely, and the prices are very fair for the quality of food you get. A HUGE plus for us is how seriously they take gluten-free dining. Having gluten issues can make eating out stressful, but I have always been treated with the utmost care and concern at Brothers Tavern. They listen, take my questions seriously, and make me feel comfortable eating there--which means so much. And did I mention the gluten-free burger is DELICIOUS?! The food is always great, the people are wonderful, and you can tell there is genuine pride in what they're doing. We're so happy to have Brothers Tavern nearby and will continue coming back again and again. If you're in Sparta, do yourself a favor and give them a try! read more

Had lunch here for the first time. Was very impressed. The atmosphere was great, the service was great and the food was better. Excellent Mediterranean food. I had the Greek fries and the spinach and cheese pies and my spouse had the lamb gyro with seasoned broccoli. It was all excellent. Will be coming back here. read more

The staff were amazing. The only thing that beat the staff was the out of this world Ribeye steak dinner. The broccoli was probably the best I have ever eaten. Definitely recommend. read more

I was not expecting much from a Mediterranean style menu in this part of the country but Lo and behold this was quite the meal! Our cocktails were very well crafted and our food was- from the Greek salad to the gyro plate - excellent! The lightly fried cod though on the fish sandwich and finger dishes was the star of the show. It must have been flown in fresh. Service was super friendly and attentive - restaurant is in a bright space on a really charming central town square. Highly recommend! read more

Wow is my response to the lunch that we just had at Brothers Tavern. I had the tomahawk pork chop with Gouda Mac and broccoli. The broccoli was the best I've ever had, the Mac and cheese was delicious and the pork chop was perfect! The service was a bit slow but well worth the wait for this delicious lunch! read more

Great food, great service. I highly recommend Brothers Tavern. Their salads, burgers and wings are delicious.

Wow! We stopped in for a late afternoon meal. My wife had the fried shrimp tossed in Nashville hot sauce with Brussel sprouts, and I had lasagna. Both were delicious, but I gotta admit I was blown away by that shrimp! A wonderful find, and highly recommended when visiting Sparta, TN. read more

The brown butter Carmel cake is not to be missed. You will not want to... But you should share it. It's too good. The servers are welcoming and warm. Lots of smiles and quick service. The place is fun. Room to move around. TVs to see your sports. And a chill place to hang out for a while. Come see it on the square. read more

This quaint location is in the heart of downtown Sparta, TN. Featuring a warm and welcoming feel of rustic and modern, as it sits in a historic building.

The place was unique and had a great atmosphere! Good service and clean! Adorable little town! The gyro was delicious and the pita wrap was fresh and soft! Would highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for lunch with friends. Food was AMAZING! We tried the fried cauliflower - freshly made and so good! For entries we tried the fried grouper fingers and gyro with sides of French fries, sweet potato fries, and sautéed green beans. Everything was fresh and handmade. And the portions were so generous. We all had to-go boxes. Our server was also excellent and took great care of our table. I will be back soon! read more

The Braised Greek Chicken dish is an absolute loser. A giant bowl of pasta covered with a gallon of sauce and 3, I said, 3 pieces of chicken the size of a small McNugget. Time before that was served a literal bowl of what they claimed was layered Lasagne. It was some noodles that were swimming in the same gallon of sauce. If you are a Chef Boyardi fan, you will be at home here. ​ read more

Really enjoyed this local gem while driving through this beautiful area. Our Greek salads were very fresh and flavourful, and the gyro meat was delicious. My kid got the salmon with rice and green beans and it was also really good. Large portions and a chill atmosphere. Would definitely stop in again if I'm ever around. read more

What a delightful dining experience. Our waitstaff was on the ball every time we needed something. The place was rather busy but we were seated right away. We shared the spinach pie appetizer and would love to have an entire plate to ourselves! They were nicely browned and the dough was light and flakey. I enjoyed my glass of red wine with the gyro platter with a baked potato side. I ordered extra tzatziki and thoroughly enjoyed myself. My partner had the sirloin with Gouda mac and cheese and sautéed broccoli. The steak was thick cut and perfectly medium rare. The broccoli was well done and the mac and cheese is something that could be a regularly ordered item. The espresso martini to finish the meal was great-just right on the coffee taste without the alcohol overpowering it. We will definitely go back to explore more of the menu. The only reason I didn't reward 5 stars is that there is a 1" wide ledge running along the length of the wall beside and above the tables that needs to be routinely wiped each night. I don't think it's been done for some time per the layer of dust on it. However, I will note the restrooms are clean and well maintained. read more

Everything we had was really good and fresh. Service is amazing and the atmosphere it comfortable. Thank you for having us!

Amazing. Like the restaurant. Staff friendly. Food good. Had gryo and salad. It's next or near courthouse and a clean small town feeling.

Very friendly staff and good service. Kabobs and salads are nice. Careful with the pasta. Their sauce has a very unusual and distinct flavor. Personally not my favorite. read more

Our server was friendly and attentive. The gyro was a good size and really good. Got that with a baked potato. Also one got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. Both were so delicious! The place looks like an upscale tavern. Very clean. We'll definitely go back. read more

Brothers Tavern is a nice new addition to Sparta! We ordered the fried pickles for an appetizer and they came with a delicious, zesty sauce. They were seriously some awesome fried pickles. We loved them! We also split a blood orange drink that was quite nice. I ordered the lasagna for my entree, and my husband ordered a mix of kabobs. I would rate the lasagna a 7.75/10 probably. It was yummy and a HUGE portion, the only thing I will say is there seemed to be a weird spice in the seasoning of the sauce. My husband noticed it as well. It wasn't something we could put of finger on, but slightly threw off the dish. Other than that, it was super good and flavorful. His kabobs were pretty yummy, the shrimp was a tad overcooked but we recognize that's a common thing at a lot of restaurants and know it's easy to do. The veggies weren't cooked very well but honestly he didn't care about that. I believe the pork kabobs were the yummiest. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back! read more

We were in town for an archery tournament, and were looking for a restaurant that had a good variety of choices for a mixed crowd. After checking out the menu online, we decided to try this place, and we're glad we did. It's a pretty small place, in a historic building. It was a bit loud inside, so if you're looking for a quiet spot this probably isn't it. We started our meal with fried pickles, and they were some of the best I've tried. They have a pretty broad selection- burgers, steaks, pasta, Greek food, and sandwiches. I had the gyro, which was excellent and HUGE. My wife had the grouper fingers, and they were some of the best we've had outside of Florida. Two of our party had the linguine Alfredo, which was dangerously good. You can add a protein (chicken, shrimp, or steak) to it and it makes quite a meal. The portion size was massive. I'd love to report on the desserts, but we were all way too full for that. Every one of us brought home at least half of our meal. If you happen to be in Sparta for any reason, give this place a try. You'll be glad you did! read more

Everything about it was amazing! Loved the salmon and the broccoli is best I have ever had! Grilled and perfectly seasoned! Steaks were out of this world, taste and how they were cooked! Service was great, servers are all very zeroed in on your needs. The ambiance was perfect! Very clean! Found one of our new places to visit! read more

Great service, clean, and the food was generous in proportion. I had a tomahawk pork chop that was juicy and excellent in flavor along with green beans and sweet potato fries! Loved it. My guest had a grouper sandwich with onion rings and zesty sauce. This was also yummy. A good experience and I recommend it! read more

What a hidden gem. We stopped in Sparta and ate at Brothers Tavern for the first time. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We were seated right away and our server gave us great recommendations. Definitely try the Greek fries! We had the gyro platter and Spaghetti. The portions were huge!! We could have shared one dish. We didn't have room for dessert so that's a good reason to come back. read more

Have been here several times and always great food and service Sparta is very fortunate to have a great restaurant like this!!!!

We dined at 4 pm. Not crowded. Gyro platter and lasagne. The flavors are very Greek influenced and are so delicious. Loved the gyro platter. Amazing. Rita our server was the best. Very knowledgeable on all the food. Ask question if you are not sure what to order. She will help you out! Music was classic rock which we love. So that was nice. Wine and beer very good. Excited to try more from this place! read more

Brothers Tavern - Gyro Platter - American Near Me - Sparta, Tennessee

I gave Brothers Tavern a second try last night. A few weeks ago I had the Greek Gyro and wasn't at all impressed. The thin mixed ground lamb/beef combination was an odd flavor, to me, and overly salted. This said... last night I ordered the Shrimp Scampi and it was delicious. The shrimp were a little over salted (for me) but it was OK because the pasta was perfectly cooked and light on the salt. The butter and garlic sauce was just the right amount of flavors. The server was very pleasant and attentive. All in all a pleasant experience. read more

We were on our way through Sparta and found this place on our car GPS. We were the first customers of the day. We were greeted like long lost relatives. The entire staff at this restaurant are delightful. My wife and I had the soup side. I wish I knew how they made it. It was delicious. We shared a very large gyro platter. We couldn't finish it, but I wanted too. It was great. What a wonderful experience. read more
