Jimmy Kelly’s Steakhouse - Nashville

Jimmy Kelly's is a classic steakhouse in every sense of the word. It's housed in a stately Southern mansion--what you'd expect of a steakhouse based in Nashville--and has been around since the early 1930s.

Jimmy Kelly opened the restaurant one year after the repeal of Prohibition, and in addition to prime, juicy steaks, guests can look forward to a nice selection of whiskey. The restaurant is operated by the third generation, and has earned a reputation as one of the grand old restaurants not only in Nashville but the entire southeast.

The steaks are hand cut by the butcher, in the restaurant's kitchen, on the day they serve them. They select the very best Midwest grain-fed beef and age them for a minimum of 28 days. In addition to steaks, diners may choose from blackened catfish, Cajun shrimp and grits and grilled free range chicken.

We went for a family dinner and we were blessed to have been given Chris as our waiter. He was fantastic! The calamari and onion rings were amazing appetizers. Our salads were crisp and our entrees were delicious. I got the half filet which ended up being the perfect size for me. If you get a chance to go to this ambient, upscale restaurant... Take it!

Fantastic food and service! First visit on 8/1. We were greeted by polite smiling faces that wished us a Happy Anniversary. Our server was Lauren and she knew that menu like the back of her hand! She was so wonderful the whole time. Our Cream Spinach appetizer on their little corn cakes was tasty. I ordered the Cowboy Steak and it was well worth it! Wife ordered the Filet and loved it. Our wine pairing was great. The key Lime and chocolate cake were both lovely! Even met Mr. Kelly on our way out and he was genuinely kind and wanted to hear about our experience. We will be back!!!

This rating is low only because of the price compared to the quality of food. The cuts of meat are good but are barely seasoned if at all. Baked potatoes are completely plain and come with a little cup of sour cream. The filet minion was supposed to be cooked medium well but came out medium rare and the other steak which was a bigger cut was supposed to be cooked medium rare and came out medium well. Both had no flavor. The crab cakes were good and the salmon was decent. Nothing special for the price. There are other restaurants that serve the same quality if not better (and more food) for much much less. Service was good (very nice gentleman) but we had to keep correcting server on what we wanted.

I’ve eaten at a lot of high end steakhouses over the years. I will say this was a treat. The ambience was amazing. The food was outstanding with perfectly aged steaks cooked exactly as ordered. The service was impeccable. Jeff was our server and he was one of the best we have ever had. We were celebrating our sons and his partners birthdays. Our son is vegetarian and Jeff immediately picked up on that and was great with him and his food needs. Lastly if you want a great desert the blackberry cobbler was awesome. Oh all these posts about no seasoning. Jeff told us up front they did not season their steaks but provided us options that could be done to add flavor. He was spot on with this. We are planning on returning. Treat yourself and if they have the sea bass give it a try. I recommend it.

Hands down best steak and cheesecake I have ever had. My husband had the catfish and I felt bad for it bc I didn’t think it tasted that good. Definitely nothing compared to my steak. I was a little upset by the room we were in, nothing special and VERY dim. I would of preferred to sit downstairs.

Outstanding food and service. Issac our waiter was simply awesome. The environment is a step back in time to intimate dining. Menu is simple. Great steak and the Old Fashioneds are excellent.

Myself and 3 friends had dinner here late April after a few rounds of golf. The house/restaurant was nice with a cool ambience and feel. It took roughly 20 minutes after being seated for us to receive our first round of drinks. My steak was cooked perfectly but lacked any seasoning/salt. I use some Worcestershire sauce to season the steak only to realize after eating my food that it had been expired for over nine months. forgoing anything resembling an apology my server instead told me I would be fine. I would’ve welcomed the chance to share this feedback with a manager but never once did they stop by our table. There are plenty of good places to eat in Nashville and I will roll the dice on any of them before returning

A wonderful dinner experience. The restaurant features a distinct eating atmosphere. There was no music playing, but the table conversation was not too loud, so you could have a pleasant conversation with your dinner guests. The cuisine was excellent, and the main courses were served with a salad and baked potato. Our waiter was courteous and informed. I'd like to come back and eat here again!

This was our first time at Jimmy Kelly's and it was awesome!!!! The Bootlegger Rib-eye was one of the best I have eaten in a long time. One of the MOST IMPORTANT part if our visit was the gentleman who waited on us. His name is Isaac. He was fun and friendly. And he would be one of the reasons that we will want to come back. He made our visit a "comfort " visit.

This was my first time dining here and I will say it was a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in. The hostess was very friendly and took us to our table upstairs in this very stately mansion. Robert was our waiter and he certainly made our meal very enjoyable. He was attentive and informative and made sure our steaks were perfect. The corn cake starters were delicious and a nice change from biscuits or rolls. For an appetizer we ordered the crab cakes which were deep fried and loaded with crab meat! We both ordered a filet and couldn’t have been happy with our choices. I made my with Oscar which had a generous amount of crab meat (I really like crab), two asparagus spears , and Hollandaise sauce. Steaks were served with a salad and baked potato and although we didn’t order any additional sides there was a nice variety. We saved room for dessert and Robert said we must order the chocolate cake so we did and it was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit!

First time dining at Jimmy Kelly's. My fiancé and I both got the extra cut of the filet. They have corn cakes for the table that are phenomenal. As an appetizer we got the BBQ prawns wrapped in bacon, which are just shrimp. They were almost the highlight of the dinner. You only get 3 in an order but it is worth the price. As a sharable we ordered the tower of onion rings. To be honest, they are just like the ones at Red Robin so next time I would get something else. The steaks are not seasoned but you can season them at the table. We felt like the meat needed seasoning and was rather bland. The steaks were also under cooked when they came out but the waitress was quick to get that fixed for us. She also upgraded our free baked potato that comes with every steak, to a $9 twice baked potato. This was the best item we had tonight. TRY this!

My wife and I went back again. The only thing I'll add is that Bill and Joe are great waiters as well as Jeff.. This place rocks.. Best meal in Nashville! Wow. This restaurant is outstanding. Jeff is a great waiter. He recommended the right glass of wine, etc. Fantastic steaks made perfectly, and the best pan fried crab cakes that you can get within hundreds of miles. The whole staff was friendly and all the food was great. Even the dinner salad was perfect

Great dining experience. The restaurant has a very unique dining feel. There was no music playing but the table chatter was not too loud and you could enjoy a conversation with your dinner party comfortable. The food was delicious and the main entrees came with a salad and baked potato. Our server was polite and very knowledgeable. I would like to experience dining here again!
