Visited the Star Rover to attempt their 76er steak challenge. After some easy communication with the management to get a time set up, we arrived to an empty house (it was right when they opened) at 6:00 on a Thursday. They let us pick our table to be most comfortable got to waiting, only about 20 minutes for my giant meal as well as my wife's. She got the 6 our sirloin and thought it was an amazing steak. She also really loved the salad, but could hardly touch her fries and onions because of the sheer size of her meal. Mine was also amazing, for being a novelty steak or roast maybe, it tasted really good and was cooked to a near perfect medium rare. I was able to complete the challenge in about 35 minutes, winning my meal for free and a tshirt which actually wear. The staff was amazing and supportive, continually checking on us and comments how impressed they were with how i was going on the steak. Loved the support. All in all was a great dinner and would definitely get a regular steak there again if we make it back to Nashville.

This is a "real-time" review. That's right, I'm writing this while I'm eating!First off... I am a self proclaimed steak snob. I've had the privilege of eating steaks at Gallagher's in New York, Don Shula's in Florida, Wolfgang's in Hawaii, Cattlemen's in California, Maestro's in Las Vegas, Joe's in Washington DC, And I cook a pretty mean New York if I do say so myself. I LOVE a good steak!I had heard great things about Star Rover based on some videos about their 72 oz (4.5 lb) challenge. Since I'm in Nashville, I owed myself a good steak dinner. I quickly made reservations through OpenTable. Easy -peasy lemon squeezy!I arrived a few minutes late. My own fault. I was quickly seated and received the menu. This is a steak house through and through. They serve steak and that's all (they do have a chicken dish for the cow lovers but that's it). After a few minutes, I placed my order. My waitress, Paige was very pleasant and got me started with an Old Fashioned from the bar. I ordered a 10 oz ribeye. This came with salad, bread, fries, and onion rings. The old fashioned arrived first. Well made. Nice orange peel. On point. Missing the cherry. The bread arrived second. Nice bun with a salt and butter encrusted top. Kind of tasted like sea salt. Not too heavy, but could have been lighter on the salt. Soon the salad arrived. A little unusual. Rough cut iceberg lettuce, cucumber, blue cheese crumbles, smoked bacon, red onion, and some strange, fairly bland dressing. No options for dressing substitution. I would have preferred blue cheese dressing and a few cherry tomatoes to perk everything up. Soon the main event arrived. Paige encouraged me to cut into the steak to make certain it's cooked the way I like it. Nice! They take pride in their product!The steak was perfectly cooked - medium rare (because anything beyond is uncivilized) and seasoned perfectly. But alas, the first two bites literally took me 5 minutes to chew. It was as if I was chewing a thirty year old tire with retreads! No bueno!The steak came with fries and onion rings. The fries were overly cooked and kind of burned. I just pushed them aside. The onion rings were the star of the show. So far, we're in 2 star Yelp! review territory!Then oh how the stars aligned...Paige returned, filled my water, brought me a second Old Fashioned (this time it had the Luxardo cocktail Cherry - Proper!). She asked how I was enjoying my steak... Moment of truth...I explained the problem. Paige sent the manager (I did not get their name) over. They quickly arrived and took things to task. They promptly switched me up to a filet mignon. Shortly thereafter, another employee approached me. Their name is Alison. They brought me a second round of fries and onion rings. MUCH BETTER! And I didn't even mention the fries from earlier!Soon the fillet arrived. I took one bite and we did not strike gold... no, we found platinum! Delicious! I gave a big thumbs up to Alison who was waiting with baited breath. Another gentleman, Casey from New York came by to refill my water. He looks like a biker without the leather, wore skinny jeans, biker boots, and has an epic beard that would make any self respecting Viking proud! Great guy!Everyone was very attentive. Paige and I talked baseball. Alison and I talked about steak houses around the nation. I ordered the apple pie (of course I did) for dessert. It's not like grandma used to make, but it's passable and has good flavor. So a near two star review became four stars in the twinkling of an eye!Why not five stars you ask?There's always room for improvement.Like others have said, they are a little heavy handed on the salt. The minute differences in bar drinks (I know it's only a cherry but it's the little things that matter sometimes). And the obvious quality control in the kitchen makes me wonder. Could have just been a one-off. It's forgivable. But the shining star is their customer service and pride in the end result. They even comped me the pie for the faux pas - totally unnecessary but appreciated. So if I could give them a 4.99999 stars, I would. They also have live music at 9pm, but I'll be long gone by then. I'll definitely come back and tell my (non vegan) friends who are visiting Nashville all about Star Rover!

What a cool place! We made reservations and they seated us immediately - sipped in drinks while the band set up and had a nice conversation with the wait staff. I had the chicken and my husband had the New York strip - both were fantastic! The salad starter was very fresh and the onion rings were amazing. I loved the band - grey haired musicians make me feel less old and the repertoire was old school rock, which was amazing! I think I would enjoy coming here and sitting at the bar when my husband is working - very safe and low key vibes. (Just factor in parking unless you find a free spot.)

We went here for valentines day and it was a blast! We were seated in front where the stage is, although we didnt stay long enough to watch them. Order your drink and cut you want and the rest they'll bring to you. As someone who wants a little bit of everything, I loved this style of dining. We both got the ribeye which came with one of the most delicious salads you could imagine, rolls, fries, and onion rings. Onion rings arent always my favorite but it was fun to try them. And the rolls.. if you know you know. I was way too full to get the brown butter saltine soft serve, but ill be returning just for it.

oh my lanta, this dinner is one that I have been raving about since I finished the last bite. From the the jump the rolls were warm and delicious followed by a salad, and you choice of meet. We ended our night with chocolate chess pie and ice cream. With the additional live music this was a great way to have a night out and a great dinner all in one.

Oh man if I could eat here every time I went out I would. But of course good things are sometimes limited and Star Rover is only open Friday-Sunday. Star Rover is serving up perfectly cooked, well seasoned steak on their limited menu. You pick your cut and then get rolls, salad and onion rings included. All of which are so tasty! Also got a slice of apple pie for dessert. We went on a night where they had live music for an hour, the band was great! We will totally be back!

Wow, we were so happy with our visit to Star Rover. The ambience is so relaxing and intimate. The FOOD, oh my gosh, so GOOD. Stars of the show in my opinion, their rolls, their French fries, and their coconut pie. But the steak was also delicious. We got the ribeye and filet. Even the salad was good! Do yourself a favor and go, you won't be disappointed! We want to come back again while they have live music.

Love this restaurant! All the sides are included with the price. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Oh and the onion rings were the best I've ever had. Seriously they were amazing! Not one ounce of grease and the batter was amazing! Cooked to a perfect golden brown. The fries were great as well. Great value for the money and excellent service! Loved the atmosphere Highly recommend this restaurant away from the strip in German Town.

I love Star Rover sound. I'll agree to many other recent reviews, steaks were wonderful (Ribeye & Chopped). The rolls are delicious and the salad is exactly what I had hoped for a traditional before steak salad. Generous portion with delicious creamy dressing and bacon! We went at 6:15 on a Sunday and it was packed. The band was really fun and had a lot of players and guests, they get drinks and steaks for playing! Really great experience topped off with the best piece of chocolate cake I've had so far in Nashville.
