Bar

High expectations, ruined by one bad manager...Great bar staff and the manager Evelyn. True professional hospitality people. That's why 2 vs 0 stars. The kitchen did not know how to cook a steak to temperature. Then, to add insult to injury, the manager Mantoria was rude, cold, and questioned my integrity about observing how my steak was obviously not cooked as requested (3 times). She burned the bridge of my desire to ever come back here again (the only reason for 1* for service). I felt very unwelcome because of her. She has no business in the front of house and I'm confident other people feel the same way that did not share this type of treatment. Beware if you've never been here. I discovered many other choices in the area without a bad customer facing manager.

I completely understand why Sperry's is considered a Nashville institution. From the moment we walked in, we were drawn to the beautiful dark wood décor, romantic atmosphere, crisp cloth napkins, and impressive salad bar. There's definitely a classic charm here that makes the restaurant feel special. You could also tell this is a beloved local favorite. Several guests clearly knew the waitstaff by name, and the bartenders seemed to know exactly what their regulars were drinking before they even ordered. That kind of loyalty says a lot. Unfortunately, it's been a few weeks since my husband and I dined here, and the one thing we still talk about is how disappointing the seafood tower was. At $150 for two people, the portions were shockingly small and felt nowhere near worth the price. We received 3-4 inch pieces of snow crab legs, two tiny strips of lobster (that looked more like grilled chicken strips), five pieces of shrimp, five oysters, and four scallops. For that price point, we expected something far more substantial and impressive. We dine out often and understand market prices but the cost compared to what was served, was well above 'market.' The experience overall had so much potential, and the atmosphere truly delivered. But the seafood tower was a major letdown and left us feeling disappointed, especially considering the cost.

We went to Sperry's while I was visiting in town, and I gotta tell you, it was fantastic! We were seated quickly, and Madison, our server was awesome!! The drinks came quickly, she took our order and the food was fast too. I had the 8oz fillet, it was awesome!! This was like beef cotton candy, just absolutely melted in my mouth! The setting is fantastic too, a little dark for my taste, but it added to the experience for sure. I'd highly recommend that if you're anywhere near Sperry's to go, it's worth the trip!!

Sperry's Steakhouse was absolutely delicious -- and yes, that is the word of the night: DELICIOUS. I actually came here solo for my birthday dinner and it was kind of by accident... but let me tell you, it was the best accident. From start to finish, everything hit. The crab cakes? Delicious. The steak? Delicious. The creamed spinach? Delicious. The mushrooms? Delicious. The lobster mac & cheese? You guessed it -- delicious. Every single bite hit all of my taste buds. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked across the board. Of course, I had to get a dirty martini with extra olives -- my absolute favorite -- and it was made just right. Parking was easy, customer service was great, and the atmosphere was beautiful. I even ordered dessert. I haven't eaten it yet, but yes... you guessed it. It looked delicious. No complaints at all. I will definitely be returning.

I was in town with my Aunt and Uncle and we were late to go to lunch but Sperry's was still serving lunch ever around 2pm. It is a surprisingly walk in for your first time. The outside area looks good but when you walk inside this place it is way more than just good. This is a very high level restaurant and it was only easy and quick for us to walk in since we were at the odd time of the lunch break. This place is for sure a place to go to if you're from out of town and had never seen it. All the people that live near there go to that place constantly for sure. It's way too cool and the food is seriously delicious every single bite.

One of the best classic steakhouses we have in middle TN. They are busy 7 nights a week so make a reservation. They have a dress code that's really business casual but if you don't want to follow that, you can be seated in the bar area. I've been half a dozen times, always order steak but this trip, did their roasted prime rib. Great change, cooked perfectly. They have a small but nice salad bar and I'd recommend their garlic housemade dressing. It was our 31 wedding anniversary and my wife had the 8oz center cut filet. We started with the smoked salmon and toast tips. I had a manhattan and she had a martini. We finished with their special dessert, bananas foster that is prepared table side. Great staff and service. I'm originally from Vegas and it has that classic Golden Steer vibe, like old Vegas.

French Onion Soup
David G.

Had a fantastic lunch at Sperry's in Franklin, and it was exactly the kind of classic steakhouse experience you hope for. The atmosphere is timeless--rich wood, warm lighting, and an elegant setting that makes the meal feel special without being overly formal. We started with drinks at the bar before being seated, and everything from the service to the pace of the meal was spot on. Our server Laura was outstanding. She was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The French onion soup was excellent--rich broth with perfectly melted cheese and great flavor. For the main course, I ordered the steak topped with lobster, cooked medium rare, and it was absolutely perfect. The steak had a beautiful sear, tender and juicy inside, exactly how a great steak should be prepared. The lobster was sweet and buttery and paired perfectly with it. Alongside grilled asparagus and fresh bread, it made for an outstanding plate. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Thank you to Laura and the team at Sperry's for a wonderful lunch. We'll definitely be back.

Lucky enough to have Sperry's for a work event last night. This is almost the same order I reviewed recently, however it highlights one of my favorite things about Sperrys, CONSISTENCY! Started off the meal with the smoked salmon dip which was a huge hit at our table! Subtle hints of smoky flavor and no fish flavor to be found, mixed with a small baked flatbread/toast for a great appetizer. The mango and sausage stuffed mushrooms, again. This flavor combination sounds so off if you haven't tried it but the savory and sweet combination is incredible. The 8oz flier presents much larger than a typical 8oz (never a bad thing) and was cooked PERFECTLY medium rare. Seasoned to perfection with just salt and pepper. The asparagus was wood grilled or charred and had a slight woody/smoky flavor because of it and was also seasoned with salt and pepper but could have used a little more salt for me. The loaded baked potato is as immaculate. The potato itself was cooked incredible, very tender with no hard or tough spots inside. Smothered in a layer of cheddar cheese. The coolest part of this experience was that it was a work event with a pre fixed menu. Typically that results in subpar menu options, food preparation and quality from my experience. However, everything came out perfect. (Also reason why I don't have as many pictures as usual for this review) The server was exceptional, I lack his name, but he helped us pick out the perfect red wine to accompany our meal, and even got one of our patrons a Caesar salad instead of house salad despite it not being on our pre fixe menu. I had never been to the Franklin Sperrys before, only the original location. Upon entering you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. Both have a dark lit environment, and exact same layout almost. Another apologies for lack of pictures compared to my normal reviews as it was a work event and very dark in our private room.

Medium for her.

Just a quick update because they are still rocking it. This is one of the most consistent and excellent restaurants I have ever experienced. I almost always...well, always get the prime rib. It is amazing how perfect it always is. Service is always spectacular. Friendly, helpful and unpretentious. Perfect for special occasions or if you just want a really excellent meal.

Joy C.

Went with a girlfriend before a movie, was a great way to start the evening. I was thrilled to see they had crab bisque, something I always love to order when I see it on a specials menu. Nice lumps of crab, absolutely exquisite. The bread they serve was perfect to sop it up with. I had an ahi tuna tower, friend had the steak frites. We both enjoyed our meals, she loveddddd the béarnaise sauce so if you are a fan I would recommend getting. Service was okay, nothing to write home about for us. You could say he gave us time to talk, but the pace felt like he forgot about us. The interior was beautifully decorated and comfy feeling, would definitely go back.

Oyster
Laura O.

We came here several times. Food was always great! My favorite was slow cooked prime ribs, it's so juicy and tender. It came with self-serve salad bar, another nice option here. The services were varied. Sometimes the service was good, another time was bad (tried to complaint to the manager, and he didn't do anything about it). I like the ambiance and the theme. It has an antique & cozy vibes. Overall, 5 stars for the food and ambiance, 2 stars for the service & management.

King cut Prime Rib...oh my
Tim O.

Yes, it is all it is cracked up to be. Best prime rib I've had in middle Tennessee. Excellent fillet. Salads were fresh both at the salad bar as well as the wedge and the Caesar. Cool old steakhouse vibe and excellent service. Nothing wrong with the house Cab either. Highly recommended for a great night out.

What's the dress code for Sperry's in Cool Springs?

I would call it semi-casual. I have worn jeans with a nice shirt and been just fine. Jacket is not required but you will see many wearing them.

Are reservations required?

No, but I would highly recommend it. as it is always busy and pretty packed 7 days a week.… 

Thinking of trying this place out for our Anniversary. Do they still have a salad bar?

Yes they still have a salad bar. Food is still excellent and so is the service!

I wish the rest of the meal had been on that same level. I ordered the peel and eat shrimp boil and specifically asked for the Cajun butter on the side. Everything in the boil seemed extremely overcooked. The eggs had the green ring around the yolks that you get when they've been boiled far too long, the corn was so tough and overcooked that it was nearly impossible to eat, and the sausage tasted very cheap and also overcooked. The shrimp were the biggest disappointment. Several had a green goo inside that was incredibly unappetizing, and after seeing that, I could barely continue eating the meal. Even the Cajun butter was disappointing. It tasted like butter mixed with the seasoning packet from instant ramen rather than a flavorful Cajun butter. I really wanted to like this place, especially since the appetizer and oysters were good, but my entrée was honestly awful. For a restaurant specializing in Cajun seafood, I expected much better quality and preparation. I left having barely eaten my dinner and feeling like the entire boil was a waste.

My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.
