Housed in a glorious Southern mansion in the heart of Music City, Jimmy Kelly’s continues to be the standard by which all American steakhouses are measured. Founded in 1934 while the country was in the throes of the Great Depression and just one year removed from the repeal of prohibition, Jimmy Kelly made a promise to himself and his diners. Simply put, he would serve a great steak, a generous portion of whiskey and insure the service was always attentive. Making good on that promise has been the cornerstone of the restaurant’s success and enabled it to survive and flourish. Now over 80 years later and operated by the third generation of Kellys, it has earned a reputation as one of the grand old restaurants not only in Nashville but the entire southeast. Come anytime and enjoy a great steak and a generous portion of whiskey!

    A major disappointment. This used to be a great steakhouse. First, they sat our party of four at a table for two. The server was overwhelmed. There were 5 tables in a small room. The Lemon Drop had a salted rim. When we asked for a new one they just poured the same drink in a sugar crusted glass. The Lemon Drop was salty. Dinner was ok. The steaks tasted good but were not hot or warm. Could barely handle the food on the small table. Ordered desert. Chocolate Cake. It was dry and tasted old. Server got better when guests left. Jimmy Kelly's charges $89.00 for a Porter House. They should be better than this

    Consistently good food with several new recent additions. The service was impeccable. Pricing has noticeably been increased.

    We only came here because we received a gift certificate years ago and plus we’d like to try every steakhouse (despite us not eating steak). We looked at the menu and we didn’t know what we would actually like. Our waiter was very accommodating when I asked if we could order Bar Bites as those items seemed more appealing to us. We ordered onion rings, lobster tacos, chicken bao buns, lobster fritters, prime sliders, and beef empanadas. Everything was delicious. Jeff was our waiter and he was really fabulous on Christmas Eve! Im very appreciative that they were able to accommodate us by letting us order Bar Bites without having to sit at the bar area. I’m very thankful for Jeff, valet, cooks, servers, and everyone who worked Christmas Eve.
