17 Classic Nashville Restaurants - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Sperry’s is the grande dame of Nashville steakhouses. The original in Belle Meade has been around for 50 years, and just about every Nashville native has celebrated a holiday, anniversary, or their meemaw’s birthday here. There’s a lot of history, and it’s plastered all over the walls in framed photos, letters from historical figures, and newspaper clippings. And while there are probably better steaks and sides in the city, the atmosphere—with its old-school waiters in bow-ties, pre-dinner salad bar, and flashy bananas foster flambéd tableside—feels like another place and time." - bailey freeman, jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
