Tennessee is home to an endless stream of amazing restaurants, but sometimes it's the lesser-known establishments that can provide an unforgettable dining experience. Steakhouses are already a great place to treat yourself or to celebrate a special occasion, but one that gets commendations through local praise and customer ratings rather than by simply being a popular chain may be worth experiencing.
Cheapism searched the country for the best steakhouses you may not have heard about, excluding chain restaurants to compile a list of the best specialized eatery in each state that has flown under the radar, such as "hole-in-the-wall operations" and "romantic places with dazzling views."
According to the site, the best under-the-radar steakhouse in all of Tennessee is Sperry's Belle Meade, a family-owned Nashville restaurant serving up quality cuts for nearly 50 years. Sperry's Belle Meade is located at 5109 Harding Pike.
Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best under-the-radar restaurant to order a steak in the state:
"Family-owned Sperry's Belle Meade has been serving steak since 1974. Start with some scallops Benedict served on country ham and asparagus over Byrd's Mill stone-ground grits, then choose from aged and heavily marbled Western-beef dishes, including the popular 18-ounce bone-in rib-eye. Dressings, soups, and sauces are made from scratch and can be bought to go at Sperry's Mercantile behind the restaurant."
