    Came in from Denver and met local friends here. I bucket list steakhouses around the country. Reasonable prices found here. Order your ribeye blackened(Pittsburgh). It was quite good. Salad bar was clean and quite wonderful. Very high quality ingredients as well. Only complaint- bad scotch selection and a very cranky and very indifferent bartender with a beard. He cheered up a bit when I tipped him $5 and put a lime in my Scotch and soda.... Don't dress up to come here. Nobody else does. Most of the clientele here wears ball caps and flannel shirts to the dinner table. Not a place for a quiet dinner either. But the steak was a B+. The price was great. Step up the bar. The bar experience is a D-. Hire a bartender with manners and a decent Scotch list that understands its sacrilegious to put a lime in Scotch.

    Went here recently for our anniversary and both my wife and I were very pleased. Not long of a wait and the food was fantastic. They have a very large salad bar and plenty to choose from.

    Great customer service!!! I felt like I was being well taken care of by staff. The salad bar is small, but full of really eclectic and delicious picks. My steak was cooked to perfection. I recommend this restaurant if you want to be treated like you are part of the family.

    Do not see how the famous salad bar is so famous. May be because it so expensive for what is available on it. At $6.99 it would be acceptable, not acceptable at $10.99. The filet was cooked perfectly per my companion, but companion felt that salad bar was miserable. By the way there were only two OF US and I only had the salad bar and a sweet tea, companion had filet and a soda. The bill was a whopping $51.00, with tip $60.00. If we had divided it in half, it would have cost me $30.00 for a lousy salad and sweet tea. As it was, it costs me still costs me $17.00 with tip, and I only had one trip to salad bar. Rethink the salad bar folks. My companion said she would go back but would be at lunch not dinner, if they open for lunch. I used to eat here all the time, but that was four or five years ago, it was much better then than now. I will probably not go back.

    Great Steak House and close to My House! I am a luck man! I love the Filet, and the salad bar is amazing! The steaks are always perfectly seasoned and cooked to order. The wait staff have always been nice and attentive. Yes, the price is a bit high, when compared to Outback, or Logan's, but for a real aged steak... this is a great choice, I would put it up there with Ruth/Chris and the much higher priced Steak Houses.

    I'm not always in the Hermitage area, but I find myself lucky when I am because of The Hermitage Steakhouse. The ribeye and ahi tuna is the best in the city, hands down. -Alex

    Old-school steak house with pioneer charm and the best salad bar in Tennessee. We were headed back to Knoxville from the Nashville airport (BNA) and we were looking for a nice place to get a steak off the beaten path. So we headed out to historic Hermitage and hoped we'd run into something. We passed all the crappy corporate places: Outback, Applebees, whatever. We had almost given up when we turned on 70 and discovered this hidden gem. This place reminded me of some of the old school midwest steak houses you'd find in resorts of the 70's and 80's. All that was missing was the relish plate! The Salad bar is unparalleled. Seriously. Everything was fresh and delish. Mixed salad greens, chilled plates, pickled everything from beets to okra, fresh tomatoes, eggs, mushrooms, and at least 20 other great toppings, croutons, ground pepper, and crackers. We had a shrimp cocktail, ahi tuna appetizer, and an 8 ounce filet (to split). The shrimp was fantastic. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and was supple with a touch of springiness to the bite. The ahi tuna was fantastic. I've never had it like this before. It was seared on the edges and then sliced thin, but it wasn't blood red. Instead it was very pink and juicy, just barely raw. The outside was encrusted with sesame and a dark sauce that had balsamic vinegar, peanut sauce, and wasabi. It was incredible, original, and impressive. Finally, the steak was perfectly prepared rare as we asked for it. The meat was warm and very pink in the center. Bites fell away from the knife to the fork with little effort, and the marbling was just right. This was a serious cut of meat. And the Fillet came in 6, 8, 10, and 12 ounce portions. The home made roll that came with the steak was sensational--fluffy with a crust, a little chewy. The bar had an ample list of wines and liquors, though we didn't have any since we were driving. You gotta love a place that serves Cutty Sark. The prices were moderate. Meal for 2 (plus my 12 year old daughter had chicken strips and fat steak fries, which she loved) was about $60 plus tip. We go to Nashville at least 4 times a year, and this is going to be our steady place to eat before the ride back from now on. Get there early, or there's likely to be a wait. we got there at 8 on a Friday night, and waited 20 minutes. People kept coming and for the next hour there was a wait to sit. The service was quick, the waitresses attentive, and the food came out of the kitchen with proper pace--after we finished our salad and each course as they brought them. Enjoy!

    Hmm, where to start. We decided to go here once and have been back three times since! The food is great and the salad bar is spectacular. The only thing I didn't like was the hostess. She's not the friendliest at times. Definitely will return though. :)

    I've lived in Hermitage 4 years and this was the first time I stopped into Hermitage Steakhouse. I can't believe I waited so long. Best filet ever! Lovely staff. Cozy atmosphere. I won't wait another 4 years to return.

    Never have a bad meal when I come here. We had steak and lobster and shrimp with the salad bar. Everything was excellent. Only problem was I couldn't order desert because I was too full. The waiter was very attentive as well. Seen a few comments about the decor and Yes it is very seventies, but given that the building is an old Peddler steakhouse building I'm not surprised. It may be old but it is clean and the look doesn't effect the taste of the food.

    Great steaks. A little pricey, but hey, it is a steak house. Salad bar is pretty good, the wine selection too. But really, it is all about the steaks. Cute little sweet potatoes as side, kind of neat.

    I know, someone who doesn't eat meat reviewing a steak house. Spare me. Visited this place out of obligation. Very 70s vibe throughout the restaurant with features that certainly haven't been updated in my lifetime. Really stale feeling -- the whole restaurant is just dark and not in a good way. Mostly older clientele, which is fine, as long as you're able to get your customers served before they pass away... I went with the salad bar ($11). I was able to fill up on chickpeas, edamame, carrots, and plenty more. I wish they'd had a vinaigrette, a gloppy raspberry dressing was the closest thing. I picked up the oil/vinegar shakers which were...oily feeling. Sick. Unfortunately on my second trip, they hadn't restocked many of the items. I also ordered a side plain baked potato ($2.50) to go with my salad bar, which was hot and very large. Our service was decent and we had a good time. Everyone in my party seemed to really enjoy themselves and the steaks they ordered, for what it's worth...

    Old timey steak house where your steak is cut thin and cooked well done in margarine, not in a good way, to a light gray. Theres a big ol salad bar that could be VASTLY improved by having homemade salad dressings and some fresh ingredients (instead of canned peas, pre-shredded cheeses, pickled beets, etc). I guess its to be expected when youre eating in a log cabin that's not in the woods.

    No, just no. I am not originally from Tennessee, so maybe my expectations are different than those that frequent this restaurant, but I am shocked at how many recommendations I got to eat here. I was looking for a fantastic salad bar for my Mother that was visiting from out of town. At least 20 people recommended this locale. I was turned off immediately upon entering the restaurant. It looks old, it is poorly decorated and the seating and tables are uninviting. The hostess was also less than welcoming. After being seated we got up to try "Nashville's most famous salad bar", as stated in the menu. If that is the case, that is pathetic. There were not that many choices and nothing that I was too excited about. Other than the normal salad fixings, there were some CANNED artichoke hearts, oysters, peaches and pineapple. Yippee! Sorry, not impressed. Our waiter approached for our order. I asked what he would recommend. He mentioned the 12 oz sirloin, stating he like the 12 oz, opposed to the 8 and 16, because it was "cooked better". Okay. I know I should have ordered steak at a steakhouse, but I was "steaked out" for the week and was craving something else. I asked how the breaded shrimp was and he said "good, everything here is good". Very helpful.. I ordered the shrimp. Big mistake, it was AWFUL. Completely tasteless. My Mother ordered the 8 oz. sirloin and did enjoy it. At the end of our meal, a lovely waitress (that was not our server), came to ask how our meal was. My Mother let her know that I did not enjoy my meal, letting her know that I found it under seasoned. She said, "oh yeah, that's not a great choice, because there is not much you can do with frozen shrimp." Then, proceeded to tell me that I should not have eaten so much of it, insinuating that maybe then they would have replaced it. I was not happy to find out that my $18 meal was simply some warmed up, bagged, nasty, frozen shrimp and a plain baked potato. My Mom had ordered the sweet potato which they stated they have now changed to three, small, fingerling, sweet potatoes, instead of a nice big one with the melting fixings like most people enjoy. My Mom was not impressed with these and believes that these, too, came from a can or a frozen bag and are easier for them to fix. I also had my 5 and 1 year old daughters with me. The restaurant is NOT accommodating to children. There was no children's menu but they said that they offer chicken fingers and shrimp. My 5 year old got the chicken fingers. Another bland choice and it showed up as a $10 cost on our bill! Ridiculous. All in all, this is not an inviting restaurant, the food is sub par and overpriced, and the salad bar is definitely nothing to rave about. Skip it and drive a little bit further to Nashville for a truly exciting, dining experience.

    The old style building has an inviting charm....but that seems to be the best part. I'm all for supporting local non-chain restaurants, but they need to step it up. The quality of the good was just ok. Offering a salad bar is nice, but the selection is pretty basic. Service was ok... for this kind of a place I was hoping for more of a friendly and welcoming environment. The quality of the steaks where decent, but did not stand out to me as other places have in the past.

    This unassuming gem of a place has always been my rock-solid fallback plan when I hit a wall on where to go that is quick and casual, but has a great price/value proposition. There is typically a wait on a weekend - particularly after 6:30pm, but there is usually good live music (solo guitarist) and generously poured drinks available to pass the time quickly. First off, NO ONE beats their salad bar! From the crisp lettuce and toppings to the smoked oysters and dressings, everything is fresh, colorful and packed with flavor. Several times, I've made my entire meal with their salad. It's that good and that satisfying! Then, their steaks are typically an excellent cut! The ribeye has always been excellent and the filets are tender and full of flavor. - always cooked to order. (As an aside, I miss that they no longer wheel the meat cart tableside for you to see them cut your steak!) All for quite a bit less that you'd pay at the higher profile (and more expensive) steakhouses. Quality and value for your money! Who can argue with THAT? Hermitage has so few really good places to enjoy a great meal. This is absolutely high on the list.

    The Hermitage has always been my favorite choice whenever I wanted excellent ambiance combined with superb food, but to rely solely on tradition, as I recently discovered, is foolhardy. My last three trips to this now defunct restaurant, were just that: terrible. Aside from my embarassment to my friends and family who accompanied me, I could not believe how far the quality of their meats had deterioriated. The rib eyes, especially the 8 oz, was reduced to a minute steak one could purchase at any 3rd rate restaurant: thin, leather like, not marbled and cooked to death because of the lack of thickness. To add insult to injury, when contacted, the owner/manager was neither helpful nor compassionate. After all these years of patronage, I vow never to return to this business.

    Only when you really want to get a steak not cooked at home this is your stop. Steak,baked potato with a great salad bar. Now some find it dark and old. Well that is what they are going for. Most in the area have used this spot when wanting a private dinner and reserve the entire seating for invite only events such as wedding rehearsal dinners. It's is old school taste. But it is in trend with how the diners for the days when the Jacksons and the Donelsons who both have mansions nearby would have gone out to for a night of dining. So that explains the name The Hermitage Steak house. I feel bad I had to explain why this log cabin style is popular. But since many of the comments I've read did not understand why it is in this spot. After they took the exit to The Hermitage away when they widened Lebanon road, they took this jewel away from history buffs that used to find this spot and found it charming.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how good this restaurant is. The steak (rib eye) was amazing as was the salad bar. They also have great fried pickles that aren't too salty like usual. The only concern is that the menu is a bit pricey. There are very few options under $20, although every meal does come with the salad bar. The 8 oz rib eye (my choice), fried shrimp, pork chop, and a chicken breast option were under $20, and the salad bar alone is $11. I wouldn't mind getting just the salad bar, myself. It's got a large selection including oysters and anchovies. The service wasn't bad either. When our waitress first came to the table, she seemed to be giving us the look of death like she'd rather kill us than serve us, but after the first time she had a 180 degree attitude change and was very pleasant. The food came out very quickly, both the appetizer and entrees. Just make sure you don't go too late because they start closing down the salad bar about 30 minutes before their official close time.

    This is my family's comfort restaurant and it never disappoints. We were just there this past week on a Wednesday night around 6pm. The bar had a fairly good crowd and we were seated almost immediately. We all ordered the salad bar and filets and everyone got a different side (from loaded baked potato to steamed broccoli). It was all extremely good and we were all happy from the well done to the medium rare. The steaks were delicious, the sides were good, the fresh bread was good and the salad bar was fantastic. We didn't order dessert and just went back for plates of fruit with whipped cream - we were just too full. The Bananas Foster being prepared a few tables over smelled wonderful. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant and it filled up around us but was still roomy enough that we felt comfortable talking and quiet enough that it was relaxing. It's a good steakhouse that's been in business forever for a reason - it's a good steakhouse.

    Completely disappointed. The best part about this place is the live music that is played in the lobby to keep patrons entertained while waiting for a table. I enjoyed my food for the most part. That is, the food that waitress actually bothered to bring to the table. We ordered two appetizers--neither of which were brought to us during the thirty minutes we waited for our entrees. Also missing were our drinks. We did not receive our drinks until our entrees came. Yes, that's right--we had to wait 30 minutes just to get a beverage. When we finally got our check, we were quickly notified that we could not use the $50.00 restaurant.com gift certificate we purchased, because we did not spend enough on food, and alcohol could not go toward the total. Thus, although our bill $150.00, and we received horrenduous service, we were just out-of-luck on using the certificate we paid for. When we inquired with the manager to see if she would honor our coupon, or a portion thereof in light of our terrible service, she flat out denied our request, and quite simply didn't seem to give a sh!t that our experience was terrible. Needless to say, I won't be going back to Hermitage Steak House, and I have made it point to tell many (far more than the usual 12 people a dissatisfied customer tells about a bad experience)people to stay away. Seriously, don't waste your money. If you want a great non-chain steakhouse experience, go to Sperry's!

    My wife and I had dinner at the Hermitage Steak House tonight. Service was excellent. The salad bar was clean, fresh, and a lot variety and options. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Definitely the perfect spot for a Date Night

    This is an informal, local steakhouse. Meals come with salad bar and side. Prices are mid-high. Steaks, especially the filet are hand cut and very good. They have a simple, but good wine list. Service is attentive. Overall better than Longhorns at a lower price.
