Signature pork chops, tableside carvings, flaming desserts
"Perry’s is a national steakhouse chain, and Franklin has its only Tennessee location. It's about as fine dining as the city gets, with soaring ceilings, dark woods, glass chandeliers, and gussied-up groups clinking glasses of wine. Perry’s is probably exactly what you picture when “power lunch” comes up in conversation—suited execs throwing around jargon-y phrases over what can best be described as a legendary pork chop. It’s the type of dish that closes deals, especially if you pair it with the au gratin potatoes and a slice of cheesecake." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Tennessee’s first location of the Texas-based Perry’s chain is in Franklin’s burgeoning McEwen Northside complex. Clocking in at a roomy 11,000 square feet, the elegant grill house has grown a loyal local following thanks to its butcher-fresh USDA Prime aged beef, signature tableside carvings, and flamed desserts. Don’t miss the restaurant’s famous pork chop either — it’s cured and slow-smoked for up to six hours with pecan wood then glazed, caramelized, and topped with signature herb-garlic butter." - Eater Staff, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"In Cool Springs’ McEwen Northside I learned that Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille is opening its first Tennessee location on Thursday, February 18, 2021: a freestanding 11,000-square-foot restaurant at 5028 Aspen Grove Drive in Franklin that seats 357, includes four private dining rooms, outdoor seating for 46 and offers views of the kitchen and Perry’s Bar 79’s towering wine wall; while the space seats 357 its stated full capacity is 350, and it will open adhering to social distancing and high cleaning standards. The Texas-born chain — which began as a Perry family butcher shop and deli in Houston in 1979, added dining seven years later and opened the first Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in 1993 — is known for table-side carved butcher-fresh USDA aged prime steaks, seafood, hefty starters and sides, and extravagant flamed desserts, but its flagship is the “seven-finger” pork chop: a chop that truly measures seven fingers high, rubbed with seasoning, cured, slow-smoked with pecan wood for up to six hours, then glazed, caramelized, topped with Perry’s herb-garlic butter and carved and presented table-side. The consistent menu was created by Master Development Chef Rick Moonen (a celebrity chef and member of the American Culinary Hall of Fame and a noted authority on sustainable seafood). The full menu will be available for car-side to-go every day from 11 a.m. to close, and Perry’s iconic Pork Chop Friday Lunch — a lunch-cut portion served with whipped potatoes and homemade applesauce for $16 — will be served Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (first held Feb. 19, 2021) and is also available to-go Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.; regular hours will be Mon–Thu 4–10 p.m., Fri 10:30 a.m.–10 p.m., Sat 4–10 p.m., and Sun 4–9 p.m." - Delia Jo Ramsey
