What Makes Jonathan's Grille the Best Sports Bar To Watch Football This Season
It isn’t the restaurant or the people that make the sports bar best for watching football; it's the environment. And that’s what Jonathan’s Grille has been doing for decades.
Since 1999, this family-owned Tennessee spot has figured out something a lot of places miss. Watching football out isn't just about having a game on somewhere in the room.
It's about walking in, grabbing a good seat, and feeling like you'll never miss a single play. Here's why football season hits harder at Jonathan's Grille.
You'll Never Miss a Snap
Every location is built around one simple idea: no matter where you sit, there's a game right in front of you. Each Jonathan's Grille has 50+ TVs, so whether you're pulling for the Titans, keeping an eye on your fantasy guys across three other matchups, or you just want SEC Saturday on the biggest screen in the room, you're covered.
Different game, different league, different team? Ask, and odds are it's already on.
Food That's Actually Worth Ordering
Plenty of sports bars treat the food like an afterthought. Jonathan's Grille goes the other way. Everything is made to order, and the menu runs a lot deeper than your average wing joint, which matters when you're posted up for a full afternoon of football. A few crowd favorites for game day:
Wings: hand-tossed with dry rubs like garlic parmesan and lemon pepper, or sauces that run from mild all the way to atomic and Nashville hot
Flatbreads and pizzas: shareable and built for a table full of friends
Smash burgers: two signature patties done right, from the classic to the Cowboy
Starters to split: bam bam shrimp, loaded fajita nachos, soft pretzels, and buffalo chicken dip
Order a round of appetizers for the table and settle in. It's the kind of food that keeps everyone happy from kickoff to the final whistle.
Happy Hour Makes Game Day Even Better
Football and a good deal go together, and the daily happy hour delivers. Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM, you'll find:
Beers: 2-for-1
Appetizers: $8
Mimosas: $7
Catching a Sunday game? Brunch and drink specials turn an early kickoff into the best part of your weekend.
The Atmosphere Does the Heavy Lifting
Here's the part you can't fake. Jonathan's Grille calls itself an upscale sports grille, and it earns it. You get all the energy of a packed bar when the game is close, but the room still feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. It works whether you're rolling in with a big group in jerseys, bringing the whole family, or making it a date night that happens to have football on. That balance is a big reason regulars keep coming back season after season.
There's One Near You
With 12-plus locations across Tennessee and Alabama, chances are good there's a Jonathan's Grille close to home. You'll find them in Franklin, Bellevue, Mt. Juliet (Providence), Murfreesboro, Germantown, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Spring Hill, Chattanooga, Clift Farm, Gallatin, and Jackson. Same great setup, same game day energy, wherever you land.
The Games Run Late, and So Do We
Prime time kickoffs and West Coast night games don't wrap up early, and neither does Jonathan's Grille. The doors stay open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until as late as 2 AM on weekends (varies by location), with a late-night menu ready when you want to keep the night going after the final score.
Come Watch the Season With Us
Great football is better with great people, good food, cold drinks, and a screen in every direction. That's the whole idea at Jonathan's Grille, and it's been the idea for over 25 years. Round up your crew, pick your location, and come see for yourself why this is the spot to watch football this season. We'll save you a seat.
