"- Trends may come and trends may go -- today it's shiitake mushrooms, tomorrow its goat cheese---but steak houses are a staple of American dining, a tradition that is as firmly anchored in our psyche as apple pie, cars and baseball. And when it comes to steak houses in Nashville, none is more of an institution than Jimmy Kelly's, now managed by its third generation of Kellys and serving at least its forth or fifth generation of local diners. .....
Jimmy Kelly's doesn't jump up and down and call attention to itself. It's an insiders' kind of place that's just as inviting to newcomers, a Nashville treasure that simply, year after year, gives its customers what they want, what they expect ----and a little bit more."

"...the only 'real' restaurant in Nashville... that I like."
Julia Reed, Senior Food Editor
New York Times

"There is something very comforting about going to a restaurant that has been open since 1934, and that not only has managed to survive for more than 70 years, but actually managed to thrive. Jimmy Kelly's is just such a place, and as TRAVELHOST of Nashville recently discovered, the reputation as one of the grand old restaurants of Nashville is very well deserved."
