Sperry's Cool Springs

Sperry’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1974 by brothers Houston and Dick Thomas. The quaint Belle Meade Steak House, made famous for being home to Nashville’s first salad bar, has evolved over the years and is now owned by Houston’s son, Al Thomas and his wife Trish. A second Sperry’s location, similar to the Belle Meade location but with more room for private dining, was opened in Cool Springs in 2006. The restaurant name comes from Burton W. Sperry, great grandfather of the original owners.
