We went specifically for the king crab legs, and they did not disappoint. Usually King Crab is either small or just feels "old". This was neither. Some of the best king crab I've had outside of Alaska. The crab cakes were also great. Great texture (lump crab) and great flavor. The salad bar was nice with a decent amount of options. Everything else was just good, not amazing. The restaurant itself was an older style, and it felt a little cramped inside. I especially noticed when going to and from said salad bar.

Fantastic. First visit was for a birthday and the service (thank you, John!) and attention to detail was outstanding. Shrimp & grits and steak frites were equally amazing. Make a reservation in advance! Will be back soon to try the Bananas Foster!

If you’re looking for top notch service and phenomenal food, look no further. I started off with the Sperry’s wedge salad, which is fantastic followed by the 14oz Ribeye, (blackened) and Pittsburg style. The ribeye was so flavorful and delicious. My sides were garlic whipped mash potatoes and grilled asparagus (highly recommended). Then the desert I ordered the toffee pudding (I am not a toffee fan but this WAS AMAZING). trust me, get it. Also big shout out to Bryan our sever, he provided excellence service. Thank you!

The service at Sperry's is very kind and welcoming. The restaurant was so cozy and vibrant with many happy, loyal customers. However, I have to say, though the flavor of my prime rib was good, I had to really tear at it with my knife as it was not the most tender steak and had a long inedible tendon... The whipped potatoes could have been much creamier and more decadent. The bread was very plain. The ceasar salad was pale and limp with bland dressing, and the croutons could use a little more olive oil and cracked pepper. The broccoli was steamed like unseasoned diet food but still nice and green, and the unusable side sauce had an odd taste. Seasoning was a bit light across the board, but obviously easy on the blood pressure, 😉. On a better note, the crab cakes were lovely, and the greens they were served with had a nice acidic punch; this dish was nearing our expectations yet a bit chewy along the bottom and a little more "cake" would moisten this mostly crab cake. The smoked salmon appetizer was delicate and tender with just the right smoke level and a nice light caper sauce, but the cold, starchy white toast points didn't live up to the dish. The chicken was still moist and fine, and though I like just about any chicken skin, the diner wasn't a fan of the wet, flaccid skin under the sauce. Maybe a ribeye and baked potato next time? Overall, the food was...ok. With such a comfortable space and great staff, we were hoping for a bit more stand-out food to complete the experience. Sperry's was not overpriced, though it is surprising that Darfon's restaurant in our area of Donelson is even less expensive and kind of been knocking it out of the park on similar food comparatively as of late. Thank you for the good vibes and great service! 💕

Best steak I ever had, best carrot cake, too. Having the salad bar is a nice touch, too. Staff is amazing, they work hard and efficiently. As professional and personable as it gets. Really impressive. This is not your quiet chop house. If you seek a quiet dinner, this is not the place to have it! Tables are crammed within a foot or two of each other, so you can hear what others are saying. HOWEVER, the atmosphere is actually kind of fun. The place is loud, boisterous, and energized - which we thought was actually a big plus! Everyone is having fun while eating a great meal! Will definitely go back again.

We’re from Texas and have visited many times but never been to a steak house on any of our many visits over the last 30 years as it’s usually a couple day visit. Tonight’s experience was very special and will be a staple of any Nashville visit we have in the future. We felt like we were home in Texas where we were treated like family. The sweet tea was different as we’re not used to any syrup with our tea in Texas but it was something we could get use too. The steaks and prime rib were outstanding and we couldn’t ask for better sides and the salad bar. Thanks for treating us like we were regulars and we will definitely be back. Our server was out of this world and never missed a beat. Thanks Sperry’s. The Noski Family…
