Outback Steakhouse

The building was dated but that's part of the charm. It's a little out of the way from where we live. But would go back.

Despite our previous review, we returned. Sadly, as noted by many other commenters - this will…read moreassuredly be the last time we ever visit Hermitage Steak House. Gone is any semblance of atmosphere as previously noted. The entry room was full of tacky boxes the minute you walk in. The restaurant was nearly empty, which should have been a massive clue. They still make you do that ridiculous text to get a seat/reservation - which is not only weird and inconvenient, but absurdly unnecessary in this day and time of technology. Not only that, but - as others have also noted - the service was one slight touch away from downright rude. My wife and I both felt like our waitress thought we were an inconvenience. As for the food: The salad bar was just ok this time. Still fairly fresh veggies and lots of options for toppings/sauces, but none of it had very much flavor. Keeping with that theme, the steaks we ordered (filets) and the baked potatoes - both of them simply had NO flavor! It's like the kitchen has never heard of salt and pepper. Sure, there's some on the table - but for meat to be proper it has to be seasoned either BEFORE or DURING the cooking process, not once it arrives at the table. The meat was fine, I guess (though only after I had to send my first piece back as it was - once again - BADLY overcooked) but the biggest offender now? THE PRICES!!! Oh. My. Lanta. $52 for a tiny 6oz filet in HERMITAGE?! That's right. FIFTY TWO DOLLARS FOR A SIX OZ STEAK. That too much? Fear not, it's now an absurd $18 for a stand alone salad bar!! Where do they think they are? This isn't the country club in Brentwood, it's hwy 70 in Davidson County. Getting even less food than we got last time (including not being given any table bread) for WAY more in price, we will not return. This time for one appetizer, no drinks, and only 2 small steaks, our tab was $150. No way was the meal we were given worth it. Saying this experience and food was sub-par is being generous. We feel like we just got ripped off.

I ordered the chef Summer salad - O L and requested no onions. Of course I got onions, but didn't see them buried until I got back to the hotel. I also anticipated them to include a fork. Oh well, I guess they figured I could eat with my hands. As far as the salad goes, it was good. baby, spinach, crumbly, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, strawberries, walnuts, crumbly blue. All with orange mandarin vinaigrette. It was very tasty. Most everything was fresh, but the oranges and the strawberries were a bit soggy. Plenty of food for sure. I also added some blackened chicken and they put an abundance of that on top. Well done!

A destination restaurant hiding inside a destination resort…read more When people think of the Gaylord Opryland, they usually think of the stunning indoor gardens, waterfalls, and sprawling atriums. What they may not realize is that tucked inside this incredible resort is one of the finest old-school steakhouses in Nashville. Old Hickory Steakhouse exceeded every expectation. A group of us settled in for what turned into a leisurely four-and-a-half-hour dinner, and honestly, it never felt rushed. It was the kind of evening where conversation flowed, wine glasses stayed full, and every course gave us another reason to linger a little longer. The dining room has timeless steakhouse elegance. Crisp white tablecloths, attentive but unobtrusive service, and gorgeous views overlooking the resort's indoor gardens make it feel like you're dining in a hidden oasis rather than inside a convention hotel. And then there's the food... We ordered enough to experience nearly every corner of the menu. The bone-in ribeye was beautifully marbled with a deeply caramelized crust and that rich, buttery flavor ribeye lovers chase. The tomahawk was every bit the showstopper. Perfectly aged, sliced for sharing, incredibly tender, and cooked to a gorgeous medium-rare. It was one of those centerpieces that makes everyone at neighboring tables stop and look. The double-cut pork chop deserves its own applause. Thick, juicy, perfectly grilled, with just enough char to add smoky depth while staying remarkably moist. The filet was everything a filet should be--fork tender with an elegant sear. The scallops were another standout. Beautifully caramelized with a golden crust while remaining silky and sweet inside. They disappeared almost immediately. We also shared the steak tartare, which was expertly prepared and beautifully balanced, followed by an artisan cheese selection that made a wonderful transition before dessert. The sides easily hold their own. The lobster mac and cheese was unapologetically rich and creamy. The loaded baked potato arrived overflowing with all the classic steakhouse indulgence. The French onion soup was deeply savory beneath its bubbling blanket of beautifully browned cheese. Even the Caesar salad impressed, served with crisp whole romaine leaves generously dressed and finished with plenty of Parmesan. Fresh warm rolls with whipped butter started the evening exactly the way every great steakhouse should. Dessert somehow found room despite all of that. The coconut cake was enormous, impossibly moist, layered with coconut, and paired with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It's absolutely meant for sharing, although you may not want to. Service throughout the evening was polished, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. No one hurried us despite the length of our dinner, and every course arrived with impeccable timing. Yes, it's a splurge. But restaurants like this aren't simply about eating dinner. They're about slowing down, celebrating, sharing stories, and remembering why classic steakhouses have endured for generations. If you're staying at the Gaylord Opryland, don't make the mistake of leaving the resort for dinner. One of Nashville's best dining experiences may already be waiting just steps from your room. Life is simply too short not to eat well and travel well. Old Hickory Steakhouse lets you do both.

We chose to go to The Library, which is located within The Old Hickory Steakhouse, simply because we liked the name -- we figured a bar called The Library would be quiet and chill, and it was. All the cocktails had literary names and puns, such as Life of Chai, Gift of a Magi, and Treasure Island. I ordered Fahrenheit 451 (Old Hickory bourbon, raw sugar, Regan's orange bitters, and cherrywood smoke -- they actually set the drink on fire so it would smoke), and my sister had Great Expectations (Zephyr gin, Italicus, lemon, pomegranete, simple syrup, and Zardetto Prosecco). We really enjoyed our drinks, and despite being pricy (drinks ranged from $15 to $18, which, while not cheap, is not higher than most places), we would liked to have stayed for another one, but unfortunately we only had time for one round.

It shattered, the drink going everywhere but mostly on the lap of my guest. That happens sometimes and I thought our table took it pretty well. What doesn't happen though is we were left to clean up the mess... Our server did come and pick up the remnants of the glass after a bit as well as dropping off a few napkins and a bandage for one of my guests who was cut with a glass shard. She did apologize profusely for the accident and I would not have brought any of this up on a yelp review had it not been for what followed... Our salads came and we're not at all what I've come to expect from Longhorn. Finally our steaks came and the poor guy who had a drink broke in his lap had his steak well undercooked. He pointed it out and the server (not our waitress) was obviously annoyed and took the plate back to the kitchen... What they brought back could best be described as charcoal. It would have been funny any other time but by this point, I was just over it. Finally, a manager came by and asked about our dinner. We told him about the broken glass, dumped drink, the cut hands, the burnt, burnt steak and the room temperature baked potatoes all around. He didnt apologize, he didn't offer a discount but he did offer one of my guest another potato... I go to Longhorn quite often when I travel. This was my third visit to this Longhorn as I'm in the Nashville area four or five times a year for business. I kind of doubt there will be a fourth visit.

Not trying it would be a crime! Our Outlaw Ribeye is bone-in, well-marbled, fire-grilled, juicy, and delicious.

LongHorn’s New York Strip is fire-grilled to enhance its distinctive flavor, this thick cut is a steakhouse classic.

While the breast was moist, the entire chicken was so salty. I removed the skin because it was literally inedible due to salt, but there was really no difference in the chicken without the skin. I just couldn't eat it. It went back to the kitchen, where staff tasted it and agreed with me that it was way over salted. They brought me a pear salad which was delicious and actually cooled my mouth down a bit. I've drunk a bunch of water and hours later, my mouth still feels like it was burned from the salt. I would try again but need a bit of time to get over this experience.

My rating is based mainly due to Jake the bartender/server. He not only displayed a wealth of humility but also showed genuine interest and care for my date and I. The food was marginal and the malnourished asparagus spears were disappointing to say the least for the up charged price. Last evening 10/17/2013 on my return visit Amanda R was my server at table 47 at 8:52 pm. I'd advise if one is dinning at the Hermitage Outback not to request her for a server unless you're expecting sub par service. Amanda seemed too consumed with being a socialite for her coworkers sitting around the bar that we were totally neglected. Convenience is my reason for patronizing Outback value is sub par. I without a doubt feel that I should have been paid to dine last night instead of me paying. Dine at your own risk. Ask for Jake to wait on you but steer clear of Amanda. read more

Worst meal out I think we have ever had! Waited an hour for food once we were seated - there was zero care taken in the presentation or preparation of the meal - in fact after waiting an hour they never brought any bread, the coconut shrimp was a joke, and my meal which was supposed to be Chicken Marsala was the most dried out piece of chicken that was almost Unrecognizable and a little bowl of gravy on side - they ran out of Marsala - what a joke - I sent it back - husbands meal was barely etiable! They still charged us full price for everything but the chicken I sent back - avoid this outback like the plague! Thins one hoes in the book for got your money sucker. The manager came over and acted like she was doing us a favor by removing the chicken I sent back - REALLY! read more

And He really enjoyed the baked potato and the hand-breaded chicken tenders were fantastic: perfectly seasoned, tender, and super crispy. The grilled chicken didn't turn out right for me. It felt softly baked at a low temperature rather than grilled, which made the texture rubbery. I didn't want to send it back to get it cooked more well-done, because that's usually ends up the same way or worse but the staff handled it graciously. When I asked to swap for chicken tenders to go, I also got a baked potato to go. However, it came completely undressed with everything separated in small cups. I really don't like that for a baked potato--they should come fully dressed and ready to eat. But this still one of my favorite places in Smyrna!
