Reviews for Deacon's New South in Nashville, TN
This restaurant has so much potential, but really needs to step-up their food game. The restaurant is beautiful, the service we... received was great. For the price we paid, the food was incredibly underwhelming. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes to start,which was our favorite dish ordered. We came in planning to order steaks, but the prices seemed outrageous compared to the othernice steak restaurants in town (must be the “dry-aged” spin they’re selling). My fiancé said his braised pork chopwasn’t tender, but he enjoyed the sauce they put on it. My burger was just okay, I wouldn’t order it again. We enjoyed ourBrussel Sprouts, but the Mac and Cheese was NOT good. It was very chewy - like it needed to be cooked more, and needed moreseasoning. We ordered a piece of cheesecake to-go and it was not good. More than likely won’t be back. Gave them two stars forthe great service and atmosphere, but the food is where the weight of my stars lie.

A very good experience! Food was very good, and being a steak house, the steak was excellent. Be prepared to spend some money... though, as this restaurant is pricey. Four stars instead of five as we felt the side dishes could have been a better portion forthe amount they charged. Great food and service overall, we would recommend! Read more
While vacationing in Nashville we decided to try this place based on our uber drivers recommendation. Our server was friendly... and recommended what we ordered. We ordered the muscles, the fish, the porterhouse and a side of Brussel sprouts. The muscleswere very different than I am used to with sausage but they were surprisingly very good except there were a few that had a very"ocean-y" taste that both my husband and I got a little concerned about. Our main course came out and my fish was tasty for thefirst few bites but then I realized when I was 3 bites in that just the outside was seared and the rest of the fish wascompletely raw. We brought it to our servers attention and she said she would have another made immediately. She ended up comingback very quickly with a new one because she said there was another one up for a table so she just grabbed that one for me. Thesteak was pretty good flavor wise but was a bit undercooked. The steak did have an aged taste which I haven't had before evenwith previously aged steaks. The Brussel sprouts were the best part of the meal. They were very good. I don't think that I wouldreturn here if we came to visit Nashville again. Read more
The food is spectacular. This was my first time having the roasted broccolini, and it was to die for. We also had the Tomahawk... Steak with scallops added o top,it did take quite some time for them to cook it, and the waiter compensated our wait with acomplimentary salad for the table. This steak is humongous, and it was delicious. For the amount of food that we had, it wasdefinitely worth the price. Read more
It was a really nice meal. Really enjoyed it. We had deviled eggs, and great seasonal salad. Meat is their expertise and boy... it was tender. The dessert was great too. Great all around restaurant. Read more
Visiting from out of town and wanted a great place to eat! After reading the reviews here decided this is the spot we wanted to... try. We had a late reservation and literally had our suitcases in hand because we didn’t have time to go check our bags, butthe hostess let us leave our bags in the front. She was a little hesitant, but kind enough to let us do so. For our appetizerwe had the cornbread, but they overcooked it and it tasted burned. We didn’t want to send it back since we had a 9:00reservation. I do hate that because the waiter recommended it and we were looking forward to trying it. Next, we tried theCharcuterie board with our wine and it was just okay. Nothing too impressive, but was descent. I ordered the chicken Caesarsalad though and it was very tasty! The steak was good, and for a side we ordered the cauliflower and Yukon potatoes. Thecauliflower needed a flavor of seasoning or something because it was very bland. Overall, the service and the atmosphere wasnice. I just think it was just an off night for the food. Would I try it again? Probably . Read more

We were only in Nashville for one night and happened to look for a nearby restaurant from our hotel when we walked by Deacon’s... and saw that it was packed so we went inside for a table and it was the best decision of the night. While we awaited our table,we were given a tour and education of their dry aged meats fridge by our server and that’s when the fun began. The entireexperience was amazing and not a single dish disappointed. We shared 4 types of steaks, bone marrow as an app and a few sidesalong with drinks of course and it left a good enough imprint that we will def return again when back in town. Thanks! Read more
