When choosing a restaurant, many diners decide to frequent well-known eateries and even popular chains for a meal they can expect to be delicious. However, some of the best restaurants are the hidden gems and locally beloved establishments that have become a staple of their community.
Cheapism searched around the country for the "best under-the-radar steakhouse" in every state, choosing to celebrate the "chef- or family-owned steak joints" with stellar ratings and reviews over the "well-known chains" and other "usual suspects."
So which underrated Tennessee steakhouse stands out among the rest?
Sperry's Belle Meade
This Nashville restaurant, which has been serving the community since the '70s, was praised for its mouthwatering cuts. Sperry's Belle Meade, which has a 4.7 star rating and more than 1,200 reviews, is located at 5109 Harding Pike.
Here's what Cheapism had to say about this hidden gem establishment:
"Family-owned Sperry's Belle Meade had 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."
