Sperry's Restaurant

For a bit of nostalgia, this dimly lit Belle Meade original is the place to order a perfect steak with twice-stuffed baked potatoes (and salad bar that locals love). It has been so popular over the years that an exact replica outpost was opened in the suburban Cool Springs shopping district. While it may look like a tavern and be more casual than the traditional steakhouse, the menu is pure classic, with sides served a la carte and a staff (including the kitchen) who knows how to give you exactly what you want. If you're a martini person, don't hesitate to order one here.
