This is one of my favorite restaurants and a tradition in Nashville for years. The old South atmosphere, fabulous food and amazing staff make this my go to restaurant for an impromptu drinks after work or a special occation dinner with family....a place to come back to again!! P.S. The homemade corncakes and butter are to die for!!!!

I can always count on great service and food at Jimmy Kelly's! This is our favorite local place in Nashville for "date night" and special occasions. Claude was our server and he was entertaining and engaging!

We've been in the Nashville area now for almost 7 years and it wasn't until this past winter that we even heard of Jimmy Kelly's on the radio. My wife and I had a date night and decided to splurge and make a reservation. Everything was excellent. It is definitely a place we will return to for special occasions.

Steaks were tender and cooked to perfection. However, they were lacking just a bit of salt in the flavor. Everything else about the food and service was outstanding.

My husband and I were there right before Christmas and both of us fell completely in love with the staff, food and the ambiance was nothing short of amazing. We will definitely be back. Matter of fact we will be there tomorrow night for dinner & dessert. What a beautiful, elegant and dare I say, sexy atmosphere. Such a treat to get away from the franchise restaurants.

Our party was very pleased with the service and good food at Jimmy Kelley's. We tried the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were crisp and very flavorful. The drinks were made as we like them--so that you could taste the scotch. All ordered the filets which were cooked perfectly, with every bite of each one eaten. A special attraction of the restaurant is their corn cakes. They are small, served piping hot with lots of real butter. Jimmy Kelley's is great for just a night out, or a very special occasion.

So grateful for a friend gifting me a Christmas certificate for Jimmy Kelly's. I've always heard wonderful things and was so excited to go. Picked a special friend and a special occasion to use my gift. Totally a wonderful evening.

Had dinner with business associates at this wonderful old home. Our waiter was on top of everything and very entertaining. The restaurant is in an old plantation home and a throw back to the old days. The food was fine along with the service.

Server was very helpful in helping people not used to nice dining get around the menu and wine list. Food arrived promptly after having finished the previous course.

One of Nashville's Best!!!!

I had an amazing night here! Our server was the best server I have ever experienced! He has been working at Jimmy Kelly's since it opened some 40+ years ago. The atmosphere is unbeatable. The food is great. The sides were better than my meat. The wine selection is awesome. I was there with a large family group and we were all happy. I think it is one of the best places to eat in Nashville. I recently moved from Los Angeles, and I can say most certainly, you will never see a restaurant this full of history and ambiance anywhere in LA! You may have a better steak (Cut or BOA), but is the meat everything? I personally want the whole experience! Amazing! A++++

General Info
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!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.
