The Most Flavorful Steakhouses in Nashville

The Southern Steak & Oyster

★★★★☆ 4.1 (2617) • $$$

"Great interior and decor.Service is quick and efficient.The server covered several specials and I'm a shrimp and grits fan. When he said their version of this dish was fish (halibut) and sweet potatoe grits, I was very interested. When he said it was best with the halibut blackened, I was sold!!!The whole entree was delicious! Excellent all around and especially the cook on the fish. Not too much, not too little. Just right"

Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina

★★★★★ 4.5 (871) • $$$$

"From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The food, the service, the ambiance. Impeccable without being stuffy. Everything was perfectly cooked, and absolutely gorgeous. And the views....spectacular. If you really want a WOW experience, this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back."

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse- Nashville

★★★★★ 4.5 (729) • $$$$

"On our most recent visit, we sat at the bar and decided to stay there. The live musician, Jada, was fantastic! We had drinks and shared multiple appetizers. We love the classy vibe here and will definitely be back. Make a reservation!"

Rodizio Grill The Brazilian Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (548) • $$$

"I came in here for dinner and was so impressed with the food, the service and the decor. In the past there was valet parking, however, now its self park, where they validate at the Premier Parking at the 211 Commerce Garage. Next to the "Another Broken Yolk". You still have to pay $5 which is not bad.This place has a variety of delicious grilled meats as well as a cold salad bar. Its all you can eat for around $40 a person for dinner.My favorites was the white fish, the sweet grilled pineapple, the tri tip sirloin and the picanha. But to be honest, all of meats were seasoned, juicy and delicious. The cold dishes, which they now serve you at your table, were also fresh and delicious.Don't forget to check in on Yelp for you free delicious dessert. I highly recommend the 3 chocolate layered cake.The service was amazing. The servers were very attentive, checked on us often, and asked if we need plates cleared, refills or had any special request.Overall, if you love all you can eat meats grilled to perfection, i'd recommended treating yourself here. It's an expensive meal, but its definitely worth it."

Hickory Falls Wood-Fired Grille & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (489) • $$

"There are a lot of chain places to eat, but this is locally owned and operated. I think the owner was actually walking around saying hi to tables. He didn't come off as management. This place was great in every aspect. It was clean, very fast (ate at 8:00pm), staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food was REALLY good. My waiter told me the rotisserie chicken was most popular for 17 years, so i went with that. Did not disappoint! It was VERY good, flavorful and not dry! Great slight smoke flavor too!"

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (477) • $$

"We had never been to Firebirds before so we didn't know what to expect. So I decided to take my wife to Firebirds. Parking:The parking was absolutely horrible I wish there were dedicated spots specifically for this restaurant because it's connected with other business, BUT I have to be clear even though the parking sucked this does not take away the experience we had nor does it take away the five stars I'm giving it. Atmosphere When you walk in the lights were deemed which I absolutely loved. This gives off the ultimate Valentines Day Experience in my opinion. You could also smell the many different flavors of food they were preparing so my eye were wide open excited ready to look at the menu and taste one of the many different flavors I was smelling. Customer Service The customer service was absolutely amazing. Everyone was very friendly. FoodThe food I ordered was the Tomahawk Porkchop with fries. This food was absolutely amazing. At first the got my chop at medium well but they quickly resolved it by giving me another one. They apologized about it. I informed them that it wasn't a big deal because I understood they were extremely busy. This wasn't an issue to me because they resolved it and very friendly. Once I got my food though everything was great. The food was the exact flavor I was smelling. The food was good. The customer service was good. It was a win win a minus the parking. Total for my chop and fries were28.99 before taxes. We will be back!"

The Standard At The Smith House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (387)

"Wow!! Please get Sean and Peyton!! Truly what a sweet and intimate experience. I just enjoyed the service. The wait staff was incredible and so so kind. I am never going to forget this. Our food tasted incredible. I could've had a smidge more salt on my ceasar but that's my personal preference. Otherwise, everything truly was incredible. No plate was left anything but empty."

Tokyo Japanese Steak House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (366) • $$

"Dinner tonight did not disappoint!! Tokyo is THE BEST Japanese Steak House in Middle TN!! The employees are kind and courteous, the chefs put on a GREAT show and serve a tasty meal. And the sushi is fresh!!We went this past weekend and 2 people in our party have a shrimp allergy. EVERYONE (chef, servers, Hostesses, etc) were made aware and every precaution taken to keep from having cross contamination of the shrimp and the shrimp was the last item cooked on the grill.It was my birthday, so I got the drum and song fromThe employees which was fun!We all left with full belies, smiles on our faces and even leftovers! (My favorite!!)"

J. Alexander's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (425) • $$$

"I like this restaurant because it's consistent on good food quality, good service and good atmosphere. I have eaten here many times because of the reasons listed above. It's also easy to park and free. I had the prime rib and Brussel sprouts. I had not tried this particular dish before and it didn't disappoint."

Deacon's New South

★★★★☆ 4.1 (363) • $$$

"Excellent food, atmosphere and service! We're greeted quickly and, even though we were still waiting for a few of our group to wander in, the server was taking drink orders almost immediately.We had some shareable appetizers among the group (cornbread and succotash are the ones I can remember). Most of the group got steaks (it is a steakhouse after all); I ended up get the corn cacio e pepe, which was so good. I added chicken and it didn't need it, was just fine without.Shorter cocktail and beer list, but what they had was good. Was told the dried meat cooler was viewable on a walk back to the restrooms, so checked that out too.Would definitely recommend Deacon's if you're looking for something a little more upscale and want a break from hot chicken and bars!"

Jimmy Kelly's Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (458) • $$$

"Valet parking. Walking upstairs to the door, and an amazing decorated mansion awaiting guests. A stately home decorated with chandeliers, white table cloths, fireplaces, dim lighting, mirrors and fine oil paintings. Several small dining rooms upstairs; each had about six tables. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, easy to carry conversations. The service was outstanding! Our waiter Scott was very warm and cheerful. He checked in on us throughout the meal and answered our questions patiently in great detail. Prices were on the higher end. Food was great!The famous corn cakes were served throughout the meal. Very addictive, one could easily end up eating too much and spoil the appetite for the entree. We ordered:5*Kelly's half filet with house salad: I have to sing praises of Kelly's for even offering the dish. I usually don't want to stuff myself at dinner and this is a perfect solution. The filet mignon was very tender and tasty, just perfect!4*Fish of the day: sea bass was cooked tender with an amazing sauce. 5*Prime aged bone in New York strip: it was a huge 18 oz steak. I didn't try it but was told very good. Every entree came with house salad and baked potatoes. The salad was ordinary, but the baked potato was so good I took it home. Overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes steakhouses."

The Palm - Nashville

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (413) • $$$

"We had an excellent time dining at the palm. The service here was absolutely amazing and the food here was excellent!I ordered the filet with garlic mashed potatoes and left extremely satisfied. Our cocktails were delicious as well. If you're looking for a good steakhouse definitely check out the palm!"

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille - Cool Springs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (295) • $$$$

"Perry's Steakhouse & Grille is an extremely solid choice if you are looking for a steakhouse in the Franklin, Tennessee area. It has the atmosphere that captures an upscale dining experience and thos ambiance is only enhanced by stellar service and fantastic food.The steaks are an incredible experience and definitely worth the money. This type of dinner is an indulgent treat and is a great choice for any type of celebration (and sometimes just having a great day is a cause for such a celebration).Perry's Steakhouse & Grille has been around since 1979 when they opened their first location in Houston, Texas. From that humble first location, they have become a small chain of upscale steakhouses across seven states. After dining here, it is easy to see why they have been successful. They offer a great dining experience and hit the high note on the food, ambiance, and staff. If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, I would definitely recommend a visit to this particular location of Perry's Steakhouse & Grille."

Pbody's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (214) • $$

Tequila's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (219)

"We decided to try this restaurant on a whim. We walked in, were seated right away to a booth, which we always prefer. The restaurant was very clean and organized, which seems to be rare in Nashville (smh). The menu was straightforward and the food came out very quickly. The combination fajitas were spectacular, lots of flavor. The combo with the chicken quesadilla and cheese enchilada were very good as well. The waiter was on top of the drink refills. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner!"

Parthenon Grille

★★★★☆ 3.7 (220) • $$

"After trying them for dinner one evening, we decided to host our wedding rehearsal dinner here in one of their private rooms. They had a very professional setup and service, even let us use their screen for our projector. The food is great! Love the Chicken Marino and the Parthenon dip. New York Strip is great too. Will be back"

Hermitage Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (141)

"Our gang of four enjoyed our steak dinner. Friendly, attentive service.Steaks come with a single choice of side, salad bar, and bread if you ask for it. Salad bars take a lot of attention and was kept clean.We chose a Ribeye and Filet Mignon cooked to our order medium-rare with fully loaded baked potato.Seating was mostly couples and tables of four. Larger groups were in another room.Full bar. Private parking lot. Open for dinner Tues-Sunday, lunch Tues-Fri, and brunch only on Sunday.Convenient from BNA airport and The HermitageOverall good value for a steak dinner. The steak was of very good quality and taste.Reservation is essential.Two Small Gripes: * The baked potato had the consistency of a steamed baked potato* Bread was soft like you get at a wedding at a Holiday Inn."

Mikado Japanese Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (84) • $$$

"Hibachi is hard to find around Nashville. Had a few people recommend Mikado so we went! We arrived at 6PM on a Tuesday and were told it could be an hour wait. We went to the bar area and waiting for a little bit. We were seated probably after about 15 minutes of waiting. We did sit at the hibachi table for about hot minute before we got our soup and salad! Me and my husband both ordered filet and scallops. We got our son a side of chicken but they still brought him soup and salad. Everything else was just as you would expect. Big burst of fire, volcano, shrimp in the mouth, etc etc. It was good and a good show!"

Old Hickory Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (20)

"At the end of a long week, Old Hickory Steakhouse was the type of dinner and ambiance needed. The staff was pleasant and helpful with suggestions and fulfilling orders. The food tasted amazing and not what you'd expect at a hotel in Nashville."
