Five of us met for lunch. We had the pork chop dinner, loaded bake potato and two different salads. Every was delicious! read more

The food was great and was ready in a timely manner. Service was top notch, Nicole G was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and desserts. Great place for lunch. read more

The service was good but the food was average at best and overpriced. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all disappointing. They steaks were ordered medium rare and they were brought out almost raw. The trout that was ordered was overcooked and absent of moisture and flavor. My son ordered the Mac and cheese. There was very little cheese and it was essentially flavorless. Perhaps they were having an off nigh, but the food was terrible and not with the prices they were charging. On a side note. The light above our table was flickering so badly we felt as if we were at a concert. We eventually had to stand on a chair to unscrew the bulb so we would not become dizzy. You will get better food and more value by going to Texas Roadhouse or Longhorns. read more

The service here is excellent. My waitress Sarah was very attentive. I came in crazy thirsty, drinking a lot of water and she never let my glass get more than half empty before she refilled it. She was friendly and gave good advice about the menu and explained the live music set up and timing when I asked about it. As I moved here a couple of days ago and I'm living out of a hotel until my belongings arrive on a moving truck, and I'm eating a lot of food out. I could say before this restaurant I was a little disappointed in the food I was trying at restaurants that had been rated five stars on yelp. For example, and it didn't happen at this restaurant, I had a Cobb salad the night before that relied on gobs of cheese to please, which shouldn't even be on a cob salad. But enough, groaning and moaning, and back to this restaurant. I love seafood, and I got the seafood appetizer platter. It was really good and I was quite satisfied. I started eating it and I thought now this is what I've been hoping for in a Jackson dining experience rated with high stars on yelp. I am looking forward to coming back to the restaurant and trying more of the items on the menu as there were many things that looked good. read more

The Blacksmith Restaurant - Appetizer seafood platter. Everything was delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

I had the filet which was cooked to perfection. Very tender and tasty. My husband ordered the gumbo, but it was a little too spicy for his taste. The mac'n cheese and the brussel sprout hash were both delicious. Service was good. The decor was fun! read more

Great food, great service, nice patio area for a refreshing meal. Would definitely recommend and visit again if we are in town. read more

I dont usually write reviews so Im sorry if this isn't the right way. This was my first trip here. I was not impressed. The hostess was never at her station for more than 2 min. And would disappear leaving people waiting at the door for 10-15 min to "find a table" then proceed to the next party and do the same thing. Seemed offended to need to bus a table for a couple. There were NO bus people working at all for a busy Saturday. Service was slow 15 min and our waitress had not even greeted us. Finally came and took our drink order and went to get drinks and said she would be right back to get our appetizer order since we didn't have menus until then, she was gone another 20 min. Dinner was served with no silverware and had to wait on her eventual return to get any. Food was good, a bit bland for my son and I, we shared a plate since the waitress didn't put in my sons dinner order at all just his side dish. Over all folks were nice food was ok, but we wont be back. read more

Great atmosphere with live music, closed in patio on chilly nights, attentive server, and tasty food. The steak slices were very tender and fall off the bone ribs! read more

Oh my goodness had the shrimp Cesar bacon wrap the other day and it was delicious! Customer service was great! We sat outside because the inside is just too dark for me. Great parking out front able to the our vehicle. Will be back for sure! read more

Came here one night on a Friday. I was surprised to see that it was so dead. They had someone playing live music however there were only like three tables listening. The music was very good and the musician was very talented. The service was not that great. I was able to see why maybe the restaurant was a little dead. however it looks very nice. The area seems safe and the food was good. The chicken was juicy and had good flavor and so did the burger. I think the price was decent for the food. I think they are trying to deliver more with this restaurant however, the employees are lacking. The front desk host seemed to be very bothered that we were there, after we waited for about 10 minutes for her to even show up at the front door. (Not exaggerating) during the time no one has been in initiative to seat us. read more

I think I have. Reviewed the blacksmith before, but we've been there several Times Now and we have always had a fantastic experience. They're one of the few places in town where I can find Escargot. Which they do very, very well. They have several gluten free options on the menu which helps my girlfriend make. Fantastic espresso martinis. I've always had great service. I wish I could remember the name of my waiter. I've had him twice now. And he is so funny, hysterical but very respectful. We always look for him when we go there. Couple of times we've been they've had live entertainment which really helps. The way the place looks and feels, it just feels great. The ambiance is fantastic. It's very easy to find. They have a fantastic patio which I've walked out to but I have not eaten out there yet. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer. The bar is fantastic. I just recently dealt with a manager ordering a full carrot cake for my girlfriend's birthday 'cause it's her favorite cake. And she wanted it specifically from Blacksmith. We will go back over and over. read more

The food was great. Service was friendly and quick. The booth bench was broken and had to sit on the edge so ask for a chair not a booth. Pricing is a bit high but all in all a nice dinner. read more

Great atmosphere and service. The food is awesome. I will definitely be back when I am in the area. read more

We were seated promptly by a very nice gentleman who was the bartender. Place is very cozy and we decided to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. My wife and I both had cheeseburgers which were pretty tasty and french fries were fantastic. Two things that made me give a 4 rating was that i could not have my burger medium rare and had to have it medium which I don't enjoy as much as i like a lot of pink in my beef. I did not understand that. Also beer was not cold. Other than that everything was great and we will be going back just not to eat the burger. read more

I come to The Blacksmith every time I'm back in Jackson visiting family and they never disappoint. Located in a growing downtown, the interior is warm and friendly, the service from the wait staff is fantastic and relatively fast, and the food is always hot (and incredibly delicious!). If you're in Jackson looking for somewhere to eat that isn't a chain, The Blacksmith should be your go to. Support local and stop by the farmers markets across the street then stop on in for some fried green tomatoes (sorry, no Kathy Bates or Jessica Tandy to be found) and southern hospitality. read more

The food is good but not wonderful. They have made some mistakes and either not given us everything we have ordered. We had to call them back and go back to get the rest of the order. They too are expensive. The restaurant is kinda cozy but also a little plain. However my husband loved the ribeye? read more

My son and I happened upon this place while traveling through Jackson, Tennessee. What a great find! Delicious food & very good service. Looking forward to going back! read more

Have eaten there many times, never disappointed. The staff is welcoming and attentive. I use a walker and they always ask if I want to use it instead of a chair, which is very kind. And the food - ah! No matter what I get, it's delicious! It's hard to try something new because what I had before was so good! I remember that the building once housed a fish sale business. I like it much better as a restaurant; it still has the rugged appearance inside, brick walls, very atmospheric. Truly enjoy eating there! The service is excellent, always. One of my favorite places to eat in Jackson! read more

The food was so good. I've never had a pork Ribeye till today and it was so good and had so much flavor. My husband fillet was very good as well very flavorful the broccolini was so soft and delicious as well. The chips are homemade and the chipotle ranch is so good that comes with them. We got strawberry cake to go and it doesn't taste like most strawberry cakes do it is very soft and not over powering and very fluffy!! The Service do not even get me started!!! The service was great and the young lady who waited on us was very sweet and patient with us since it was our first time and always checked on us to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back and bring the in-laws the next time. This restaurant was very clean and really nice for where it sits at! read more

Outdoor seating on a great day. Service was fantastic. The ribeye I had was meh. I did like the ceasar salad and the iced tea.

We had no service after being seated for over 25 minutes. No one came to our table despite passing by and noticing we only had menus. After inquiring about a server the young lady who seated us asked if anyone had served us. She said "I'll send someone over". That person never came. We decided after 45 minutes of no service - not even water- we left. Totally unacceptable. read more

Dinner with work colleague. Steaks were good and nice atmosphere. Staff was helpful and did not hover.

Star of the show.... The Gumbo! Runner up: the pretzel! Most forgettable: the salad Everything was great the salmon was a bit underdone for me but overall it was excellent. I love sharing food to try more things! read more

We met with the grill cook whos name was Blake he cooked our food excellent I was very impressed and will definitely return.

We had a decent meal, very fairly priced. The greeter was a bit brusque and having recently had surgery, hard to follow through the restaurant. Maybe it was a particularly busy day because most of the staff appeared rushed. I was a little surprised to find basically a canned pineapple ring on my chicken sandwich instead of "grilled pineapple ". The fried green tomatoes were passable but a bit tasteless. As we left we believe the greeter said goodbye but weren't quite sure; he mumbled something while typing into his phone, never looking up. read more

The service was slow. My wife and I asked for time to decide on drinks, but 20+ minutes later no one came back. After about 40 minutes we were still sitting there, freezing, and finally decided to just order two desserts. When they came, they tasted freezer-burned and oddly like hot dog water. We left disappointed. I don't recommend this place. read more

Food was amazing will definitely go back if I'm in the area again Nice atmosphere and very friendly waitress read more

I was on a cross country road trip and found this spot. Beyond delicious! The forge burger was perfectly cooked and came this waffle sweet potatoes fries with Carmel dipping sauce. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Fair price for the quality. I sat at a booth in the bar and people were friendly bar tender was kind. read more

Very tasty dishes. Especially enjoyed the pretzel appetizer and cocktails. Excellent service. Grant was very knowledgeable and offered on point recommendations. Reasonably priced. read more

Food was OK (not exceptional but OK) but the service was severely lacking even after a conversation with the manager. We ordered lunch and the first of the food took over 45 minutes to come out. I initially got my ahi tuna salad but then had to ask for my gumbo on the next visit from the waitress. The most complicated thing we ordered was a burger and a baked potato. We had a pretzel, salad, soup otherwise so I can't imagine what took as long as it did. The gumbo was good. The ahi tuna salad greens and dressing were good but the tuna was a little more than seared. I've heard good things about the place but they definitely had an off day when we were there. read more

Ordered the Southwest Steak Salad. It was delicious, the steak was cut into strip and it was cooked to perfection. It also had the perfect amount if dressing. I just wished there was a choice for smaller portion. read more

Great food and don't forget the Pretzel is a must for the Appetizer. Fast friendly service

Overpriced for average food at best. Bartender doesn't really know what they're doing and the servers are crusty

We went to this place on a whim and it was delicious. Staff were super friendly and recommend sandwich hit the spot. So glad we got off the beaten path to try. read more

We booked a room in Jackson as a half way stop on our way to North Carolina. I searched Yelp! for a recommendation for a place to eat and found this place. It seemed like everyone in Jackson was here! There was live music outside, bustling service going on... This place has an amazing history, is super busy, and provides great food and excellent service. The people we met were very welcoming and proved what a small world this really is... having lived all over the nation, we run into people everywhere with whom we've shared experiences. I had mac and cheese and ate it all... I can't remember what else we tried, but we all had a great experience. read more

Food could have been better, the seasoning could've been a lot better, I hope I just got a bad batch of mac & cheese very bland. Service was good could have been better, maybe they were tired from working a long shift. Ambiance good but nothing special, it was clean read more

Food is excellent and beautifully presented. Service a little slow even though the dining room was not full.

Homey local owned restaurant. The food was good! I had the steak crostini. Beef was so tender!!! I had the Fresh fruit salad from the in season menu. OMG, the blood orange vinaigrette was delicious! On a quest to figure out how to replicate it at home. My husband had the Forge burger and said it was good. Had the strawberry cake for dessert. Yum! Our server was delightful and attentive. Overall nice experience. read more
