Taste the Tradition, Experience the Freshness
Sperry's Restaurant, a beloved Nashville institution since 1974, has been serving up delicious, high-quality meals in a warm and inviting atmosphere for generations. Founded by brothers Houston and Dick Thomas, Sparry's began as a charming Belle Meade Steak House known for its innovative salad bar, a first in Nashville at the time. The restaurant has flourished through the years, evolving and expanding to include a second location in Cool Springs, opened in 2006. The restaurant is now proudly owned and operated by Al Thomas, son of Houston, and his wife Trish.
The Sperry's name honors Burton W. Sperry, the great grandfather of the original owners. It embodies a unique blend of Old English heritage and the warmth of the Southern tradition. Visitors to Sperry's are greeted by an ambiance that invites them to linger, relax, and enjoy the company of friends and family.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Sperry's, we believe that the quality of our ingredients is paramount to the quality of our dishes. That's why we source only the finest products available. Our menus feature aged, heavily marbled Western beef, the freshest seafood from reputable suppliers, premium dairy products, and carefully selected oils and spices. Every dressing, soup, and sauce is made from scratch in our kitchens, often using family recipes passed down through generations.
Many of these signature recipes are available for purchase at Sperry's Mercantile, a gourmet grocery store and butcher shop located behind the Belle Meade Sperry's location. Here you'll find a curated selection of our house-made products, including the very same sides, sauces, dressings, and seasonings that elevate our meals to new heights. At Sperry's, we proudly stand behind our commitment to "selling what we serve."
