I absolutely love Rafferty's. Their steaks and mashed potatoes are always so freaking delicious. The staff is always nice and courteous and very helpful especially Allison. I highly recommend them. Follow me for more reviews.

The deep fried mushrooms at Rafferty’s are crispy and flavorful. The portion size is massive, easily shared between 2-4 people. They are served with two dipping sauces - ranch and a delightful mustard/horseradish sauce. They apple walnut crunch is also lovely. It has a thin bottom crust and a thick top crust. It is served with candied pecans and a bourbon glaze. I got it without the ice cream and it tasted amazing with the sauce and pecans alone. It was one of the best desserts I have had in Nashville. Top notch! Everyone who worked in Rafferty’s was exceptional. They all made us feel extremely welcomed. Their smiles are infectious. Thank you for an excellent lunch.

Had a great little meal here. A solid, easy going, reliable American restaurant experience. Their honey drizzled croissants are amazing! It’s in a good location in Nashville near the highway with free parking. There’s shopping and movies right there so good spot to go for a complete experience.

Raffertys in Nashville was our first time eating at this establishment, and it was awesome! Terry was the absolute best waiter. He was knowledgeable of the food, friendly, so pleasant. The mushrooms are to die for! He recommended the blackened porkchops for my husband and the sirloin steak for me. Delicious!! My husband is a Marine veteran. He thanked Him for his service, and so did the manager. The staff was very friendly and cater to your needs. The restaurant was spotless. Will definitely go back when we are in Nashville, and ask for Terry! Thank you Terry and Mr. Manager (sorry, we didn't get your name) for the yummy cheesecake!! Until next time ...Eddie and Corina Young, Ringgold, GA

Stopped in while traveling. Had grilled chicken with fresh fruit. The server recommended the apple crisp for dessert and it was amazing! Thanks for a good meal.

This is our go to celebration dinner location. Service is always excellent, managers are always friendly and involved. Food is always yummy and fresh. Drinks are strong. Accommodated our party of 6, 2 kids 4 adults, without any issue. Fried mushrooms are always a necessity. Rafferty's LIT comes in a quart mason jar and when you're done you can't feel your face.

Never heard of this chain, but I’ll be back. It puts TGI Fridays and Ruby Tuesday to shame. It makes Chilis and Applebees irrelevant. It might even push the limits of challenging a Cheddars or even a Longhorn. Solid flavors, huge portions, and excellent service. Everything was fresh!
