   Celebrated my Dads 78th birthday. Waiter got the wrong beer, & messed up everyone’s steak order. Dad ordered filet medium & was given cowboy steak medium rare. The other 3 cowboy steaks were all cooked wrong. Waiter offered to get Dad correct steak but we didn’t want to wait longer as we we were hungry. Didn’t get Dad dessert as we just wanted to leave. Worst experience I’ve ever had there.

   We dined at Jimmy Kelley’s for a birthday but had no intentions in telling them we were there to celebrate a bday. We were asked upon entering if we were celebrating a special occasion, told the hostess it was for my husbands bday. Our waitress asked as well. At end of our dinner we were presented a plate with a candle… just a candle. It seemed a bit tacky, we did not ask to celebrate our bday there but don’t ask your guests if it is their bday if all you are going to do is bring out a plate with a melted candle on it. It felt very patronizing. Food and service was mediocre for a fine dining restaurant . We will not be back.

   Service was amazing and staff was very friendly. Food lacked seasoning. We asked for the Best All around which included a 24 oz steak and Filet Mignon and was told that it was one of the other despite what the menu said. So we ended up ordering them separately. I wasn’t sure what that was about.

   We had a delicious dinner at Jimmy Kelly’s. My husband ordered the Cowboy steak and I ordered sea bass. I wish they would put sea bass on the menu since they always offer it so we’d know how much we’re paying for it. I had wine, my husband had an old fashion with Woodford Reserve (added cost). He knows his bourbons and thought it tasted more like Jack Daniels than Woodford. The waitress checked and said the Woodford bottle was sitting out at the bar so it must have been Woodford. The cost for the drink was $17+. He would have definitely ordered it with JDs for a lesser cost had he known what he was getting tasted like JDs. Other than that, the meal and ambience was very good. We’ll go back.

    Not my first time. Service and ambience were excellent as I have experienced in the past. That said, my medium requested fillet was at least medium rare and my baked potato was overdone. Corncakes were in short supply and replacements were slow to arrive and attributed to waiting for more to be made which seemed odd as these are a signature staple of Jimmy Kellys. The waiter was very responsive in getting my steak put back on the grill and in fact brought me another potato that was an improvement but still a little on the overdone side. All of the above influenced my food and value ratings. I typically reserve a trip to Jimmy Kellys for a special occasion and when I spend this kind of money on dinner I have higher expectations than I received this time. I would only be willing to go back because this experience seems to be an outlier to previous times I have visited this restaurant.

    As always, the best service in Nashville. Also the best blue cheese stuffed filet in Nashville. I've had the same at other steakhouses and they do not compare. Although I've experienced Kelly's for more than 25 years, this was my partner's first visit. He found his filet perfectly cooked, yet lacking in some flavor. I would recommend a sauce with the plain filet. Love the hot water corn cakes!

    Ambiance was wonderful and in a very romantic setting. We dined on the 3rd level, which isn’t for anyone with mobility issues. Our waiter was very good and I think he said his name was Thomas (I’m so bad with names). Anyways we both ordered the strip steak medium rare. Mine was cooked nicely while my wife’s was pretty rare. We swapped as I don’t mind rare. Neither steak had much flavor (needed much more salt and pepper) and was kinda tough. Everything else was very good. We shared the apple walnut dessert and it was amazingly delicious! We ordered coffee to go with it and they made a fresh pot just for us. We like coming here and have always had their steaks. I think next time we’ll try the seafood or chicken.

    Our waiter Lauren was absolutely amazing! Catered to our every need! The manager Jeff Miller was very unfriendly and does not know anything about customer service! I had purchased 3 gift cards when they did their Christmas gift card sale like I always do! I have lived in Nashville 40+ years and was when I went use them I was told that we could only use one per table! Ever since Jimmy Kelly’s sold out it has never been the same! !! The manager Jeff Miller has no customer service skills & does not know how to handle a situation !

    One of the last originals in Nashville. For the most part, always consistent. We will always come back as we just love it inside…comfortable, cozy, familiar. Quality of the food could use a bit of attention (fish was a bit cold, steak had a long tendon piece) but taste was good. More blackberry cobbler too please!

    Food was good but not really worth the $$. We got seated in a very small room with three other tables. The room was so small the waiter was even tripping over the other tables.

    If you are looking for a traditional steak experience then Jimmy Kelly is the place. Our steaks were cooked with the highest level of excellence! The baked potato was superb. The auxiliary sides were decent. The Cream Brûlée was decent. Our waiter did an excellent job. The Director of Hospitality Miss Rae brings a sparkle to the dining experience.

    Great value. Old Nashville. Felt very comfortable. Sat on the patio. Blue cheese dressing very good. Small salad and large baked potato come with the steak. Shrimp cocktail and fried calamari also very good. Be mindful of the gift card policy.

    For our 5th Anniversary, I surprised my wife with dinner at Jimmy Kelly’s, as neither of us had ever been there before and one of my co-workers had recommended it to me. The experience in every facet was incredible! The ambiance at this place is so cool! Beautiful old-school mansion! We were seated in a quieter room upstairs and had Kenny as our waiter, who was awesome! We received complimentary champagne when we got to our table, and every food and drink item we ordered was amazing. Best steak and baked potato I’ve ever had. Best Moscato I’ve ever tasted. Their corn cakes they bring to the table were delicious. We ordered the onion ring tower to share and the house-made ketchup served with them was wonderful! They also comped our dessert, which was their “Death by Chocolate” cake, and it was the perfect dessert to complete our meal. 10/10 recommend!!!

    Scott was our server and he was excellent! His energy was playful while still professional. He always made sure we were enjoying our experience and had everything that we needed. The food was absolutely wonderful. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and the house made dressings were delicious! Can’t wait to come back!

    Birthday dinner with wife. Intimate upstairs table, perfect “just enough” low light. Attentive non overbearing service. Legendary and enduring menu: corn cakes were “to die for” good. Ambience exudes old Nashville tradition and history. One of the last, as this lifelong 72 year old native sadly recollects.

    The food was fine. Not worth the price they charge. More hype and reputation than actual satisfaction of the customer. The ambiance is different. A lot of paintings of various things. I think i described it as looking like the haunted house ride at Disney but with the lights turn all the way up. The waiter was good. He was busy so he forgot a few things but once i reminded him, they immediately got it.
