We went to The Blacksmith around 3:30pm for a late lunch and a drink. The waitress Marlee was absolutely amazing! She was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! The biggest shout out to her! Now for the environment... it was very cozy and clean. I love the aesthetics! We had the Seafood board for starters and Forge Burger for an entree. Over all the food was very good. Oh and let's not forget that the drinks were top notch as well! I will definitely come back! read more

This is a locally owned restaurant that always serves good food. It's a level up from bar food so if you are expecting fine dining go somewhere else. For a casual meal that's not overpriced this is your place. Their food is consistently good and the service is fairly good as well. read more

My hubby and were visiting from Atlanta and came here with my in-laws to celebrate their 54th wedding Anniversary! Our waitress was friendly and helpful! We ordered the steak, pork steak, the red fish and the rib entrees. We also ordered the fried deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes. To be hones the appetizers were better than the entrees. I ordered the ribeye steak cooked medium! The steak came out WELL done with zero flavor! My husband did enjoy the ribs.. My in-laws appeared to have enjoyed their meals.. The Resturant is decorated nicely. it's big and open.. It's not a bad place to come... read more

Profoundly overpriced and the food was mediocre, especially for the premium prices they charge. We both got what was supposed to be 6oz filet mignon on a bed of salad with blue cheese and a dressing. The meat was no where near 6pz, was just okay, and most of the salad was inedible. We asked if they had bread and were told it would be $8 for 6 small slices of bread!!! They messed up our order (cooked the steak medium-well instead of medium-rare, even though I went out of my way to repeat, Medium RARE!"). The server caught the error but it took much longer to get our entree. The fried green tomatoes were fine, and the service was good, but that meal was not worth anywhere near with $96 we were charged. We were extremely disappointed in this place since it had been excellent when we've eaten there before. read more

Absolute amazing food, service and the restaurant itself is very well layed out and very comfy inside. I'd I could eat here everyday I would. read more

I've been here several times. Each time I've gotten something different, not once have I been disappointed. The service is always great, the atmosphere is great, and the food has always been hot and very delicious. I will continue to make this a regular spot of mine. read more

The Blacksmith Restaurant - Pork ribeye with loaded baked potato. - Bars Near Me - Dyersburg, Tennessee

From start to finish, The Blacksmith Restaurant in Dyersburg was a great night letting someone else cook. Comfortable both, as requested and just the loveliest waitperson named Marlee, who was warm, welcoming, knew the menu and made some great suggestions, which I followed. When a waitress's face lights up when you order something, you know it's a good choice. Thoroughly enjoyed my Cabernet (nice pour), Shrimp Crostini and Salmon with about the best loaded potato I've had in years. Hubby savored the Snails and Trout and we each enjoyed the broccoli side. All of it was paced nicely by the charming Marlee, who checked back on us often enough to see we were happy and provide refills. We travel through Dyersburg regularly and have round our "go-to" restaurant for a great meal in a comfortable environment and charming staff. Well done! read more

The food and services was great. But I would have say that they do need a little more help in the bar side. They were really having hustle to keep everyone happy read more

The place looks really nice and they have live music in the bar area. It was clean and there was no wait to go eat. The food was very good and so were the drinks. The service was fine. The waiter was a bit quirky and strange but he had a good smile and was helpful when he did come around. I'd go back again and even for a date night or event. read more

The waiter was very honest about the menu when it came to the preparing of the food / seasoning. It was a great atmosphere, family friendly and of course kid friendly. I ordered the glazed salmon with potato soup and sweet potato fries. The salmon was cooked well but it needed more seasoning! My favorite was the sweet potato fries dipping them in the Carmel sauce it gave them a savory taste! I did enjoy the potato soup but I wish it was hotter! read more

First time here...we were pleasantly surprised! We chose to eat at the bar. Great gal tending bar! Excellent service. Very nice atmosphere. We shared the fried green tomatoes appetizer...very good! Then we had the rib-eye sandwich & the chicken w/ pineapple sandwich. Chose sides of potato salad & chips. All very good! And good prices too! We will be back next time we're in town! read more

Food was not only good but above expectations! My wife said it was the best burger she had had in a long time, and I had a grilled chicken sandwich with candied bacon and grilled pineapple. Outstanding! Service was great too. Thx Jeremy! read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp while looking for a place for dinner while staying in Dyersburg for that one night. I asked to sit at the bar to have dinner. The food was good and plentiful. I would probably give 4 stars, but bartender Megan raised it to a 5 in my mind. She was a very good bartender: welcoming, efficient, personable. read more

Traveling through and found on Yelp. Food was great and service perfect. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. Had the Chicken Sweetie Wrap w/ sweet potato fries. So good and fresh! read more

Had the salad and broccoli cheese soup...both were really fresh and tasty. We got the pretzel to start ..really really good. Wait staff were nice...nice interior. I like that they offer different things like a grape salad as a side. read more

The Blacksmith Restaurant - Dining room - Bars Near Me - Dyersburg, Tennessee

Nice, clean restaurant, good menu, service was good, food was good, but the server brought us our check before asking us if we wanted a second drink or dessert, which I thought was odd. read more

Food seem to be predominantly, frozen and thawed, nothing seem fresh whatsoever. Very disappointing dinner experience.

The food is ok nothing special.the service is often slow.they don't give me enough ice in my drink.the inside does look very good.the outside also looks good. read more

I placed a phone order for the Pork Ribeye with broccolini and Brussel sprout hash. My wife ordered the salmon with a loaded potato. I picked up the food and the young girl at the counter was very nice. I got the food home and there was no loaded potato and there was only broccoli instead of broccolini. I called down to the restaurant and talked with the manager and told her the problem and that I was coming back down to pick up the items that were missed. When I got there, she apologized and gave me a gift card and a slice of cheesecake for my troubles, this place has always been so nice and kind and has done business very well. I gave them a five star because of their customer service and the quality of their food. We all make mistakes and this restaurant was big enough to own them and make it right! read more

The Blacksmith Restaurant - Local steakhouse togo bag to keep my food fresh! - Bars Near Me - Dyersburg, Tennessee

Yummy.. i wasn't expecting this quality and variety of food in this location. I was pleasantly surprised and our server was absolutely delightful. Hot pimento dip?? Never thought of it but I'm glad someone did. Po boy and gumbo both delicious. Four stars because the drinks were just a bit off. read more

It's pretty good, just nothing special. It's fairly dressed up but the food isn't what I'd call top shelf city quality. All in all bad, just not something I'd want where I live now when they have so many better options. For Dyersburg, a small town with nothing in it, it's okay. I'd still rather just go to Abe's when I'm in town. Because I live in the golden triangle of Kentucky where Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati are here, there are way way better options. So glad I'm out of that town. read more

after a bad experience a couple of months ago, we decided to try again because it had been our favorite place to eat. Megan was on duty so every thing was much better. she is a rock star waitress. we enjoyed our meal and most of all the great service. Thanks Megan, see you next week! read more

Here I sit. For the 2nd time this restaurant. Both visits where great Always plenty of portions food taste great and service with a smile. Prices are fair. Worth every penny. Bathrooms were clean and useable. Music in the background but not load. They have booths and tables. Will come back again for sure. Enjoy read more

Pretty good fried deviled eggs were a no go egg got a weird texture when fried. Everything was just okay.

This place is excellent! The service was very friendly, and helpful! The menu had a large variety of food to choose from! Me and my husband both had a different appetizer he had the crawfish and alligator bites and I had the fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese, both delicious! We both had ribeyes, his med rare and mine med well, both cooked to perfection(melt in your mouth), the Brussel sprout cook perfectly! He had a locally crafted beer, Reelfoot October Fest excellent, and my Bloody Mary was awesome! So I definitely recommend this place!! read more

My friends and I decided to eat here after work today. The food was good! No wait and the staff were friendly! This was my first time trying this place, but I have heard about it. I tried the pork ribeye, but it wasn't a favorite of mine. The next time I think I will get a regular steak. read more

I & friend went for lunch . We were greeted with a pleasant waiter. We both ordered same on menu. The "fall apart BarBQ baby back ribs/ " w salad& baked potato. The ribs were tough , hard to cut ! Tasted like was over cooked. Ask waiter why- ?? a manager came out said , I'm sorry, we will re order for you if you like? I said that it was very good , very tender last time I was here, several months ago, but was not this time. She then told me that th they were two days old and they warmed them up and put barbecue sauce on them is what the cook did! I said you're kidding. They're two days old. No wonder they tasted strange and we're so tough. She didn't stated that the cook was making new ones right now and they were almost done. Could she service the fresh ones we said yes. Lo and behold ! They tasted not done and were very pink inside. The cook came out to us. He said yes they were boiled and then we put barbecue sauce on them. They did not have grill Marks on them.. ( we asked why they looked not done) because we didn't put them on the grill to get grill marks and yes, they've just been boiled in a pot and barbecue sauce on them. The manager came out again and said I'm sorry that you're disappointed twice I will not charge you for any of the food. We left we will not go back.!! service was good, but the food was not. Will not go back again. Very disappointed in the food. read more

Service was a joke.. steak was $34.00 and so dry it was ridiculous! Chicken was the same way.. "Smith" fries were half undercooked and the other half was hard as a rock... Appeared to have been sitting under a heat lamp... Don't waste your money on this place read more

The drinks were good and well mixed and I enjoyed the salad as well. I will say that the place has a lot of young staff that are a little too immature and not well trained. I overheard a couple of young staff members gossiping right in front of patrons, one waiter was yawning as he was talking to guests and they were just not attentive overall. I ordered a ribeye with scallops and a loaded baked potato. The potato was good and cooked to perfection. The ribeye on the other hand was very thin and had no taste. I am accustomed to not having to put anything on a good steak but for this one I needed salt. The scallops were cooked well but I do not know that they were worth 4 scallops for $8.00. Lastly, the decor was very cheap looking and there were almost too many lights for a good steakhouse. The floor was polished concrete but was so slick I felt like I was going to fall. I wanted this place to be a nice new place to go but unfortunately, it let me down. read more

Best bang for you buck! I'm so impressed with quality of food for the price. Recently ordered lunch for my office, The Ned and ribeye sandwich are both incredible. Everyone LOVED their entrees and we will continue to order from here. read more

Pricey and limited menu for me. I have ordered chicken there twice. No more for me. Once it was not done and once too done.

Heat of the summer and the air conditioning can't cool the restaurant. The service is poor and the food is just ok!

Great place. Food was incredible. But very pricey. Chef is to be commended. Wait staff, too. Sure am glad Lupos is gone and Blacksmith came in! read more

Great food , big portions Good menu choices. Cool atmosphere and vibe. Service was outstanding read more

Over priced. Shabby decor. Poor service. Unknowledgeable hostess. Low quality cuts of meat. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Do not eat here. You'd be better off going to the Grecian Steakhouse. As we were leaving, we watched a waitress thump her cigarette into the landscaping near the entrance and spit a hocker before entering the building. Classy. read more

The foos was excellent!! I had the blackened chicken breast and they were delicious!! I added a salad as a side and it was wonderful!! We did order the fried green tomatoes with the pimento cheese dip and it was superb!! The service was excellent, in fact so great that I left my credit card and he had turned it in to management. I was able to pick it up next day!! Kiddos to the Blacksmith!!! I will be back!! It was really cool in the restaurant, but with service like this bring a sweater or jacket!!!! read more

The atmosphere is great, service was awesome, and the food is amazing. We had the pretzel and house chips as appetizers, since picky kids were in our party. Both were great, the pretzel and beer cheese was my favorite and the portions were very pleasing. I had the ribeye cooked medium. It was a fine cut of meat, seasoning was great, and cooked as I asked. Sides were good and again, generous size. Try it, you won't be dissatisfied. read more

Only been twice so far. it wasn't bad, but with all the hype, I was expecting a little better. Our server seemed knowledgeable enough, but not very attentive to customer needs. Loved the sweet potato fries! steak had to be sent back because not cooked right. server was apologetic but still seemed irritated. maybe at the kitchen but felt more towards us. glad we tried it since it was new to the area and locally owned, but will likely go somewhere else for the money rather than giving it another try soon read more

Stopped in last night after a wedding rehearsal and realized we had been there before when passing through. Everything was mediocre to good - definitely nothing exceptional. My rainbow trout tasted good, but looked like it had been folded up in the attempt at plating it. We were there 2 hours before closing and the place was nearly empty. Probably 5 staff for every patron. Lots of noise from staff joking around in the kitchen. read more
