    Mediocre ribs and brisket
    matt s.

    Dickie's BBQ is under new management, and hopefully they will iron out the kinks. Turns out the bbq is all about who's the pit master. And maybe the new guy is ... new. What's good: people are nice and the place is clean. What's not so good: The ribs. Dry and ugly. Brisket - tasteless and ugly. Fries - Big and under cooked. The rest of the sides looked ok, and so did the pulled pork. They need to fix things pretty soon.

    I have been going to Dickeys almost every week for almost 5 years. I love the jalapeño cheddar sausage the best of all. I have tried the other meats and they are good too. But the cheddar sausage is the tops for me. I haven't found any other place that has the taste that theirs does. The new owners have jumped in a brought the place back to prominence that they once were before. Keep up the great food and great service.

    I am pretty sure this isn't how you are supposed to wear your mask. He cut meat and then put it back in the oven behind him.

    I just do not get it!!! Why? Why can't people at this place wear their mask??? I seriously love their BBQ but this is so annoying! Covid isn't coming out of your chin!

    Mmm brisket!

    My friend and I walked in thinking we were going to get some Greek food. Nope Dickey's BBQ had moved in. The owner was proud to share with us newbies that they were based out of Dallas, TX and had been in the Cool Springs/Brentwood area for 9 months and yet to have people walk out disappointed. So it made me look really hard to try to find some errors. Though a chain in some parts of the States, Dickey's is a franchise and owned by locals! Order of brisket plate, a brisket burger and 3 sides between my buddy and I. Green beans, mashed potatoes and fried okra. The brisket had a great tender taste, not dry like some TX bbq. It had spices that gave a kick in your mouth but not too spicy. I actually love green beans and they put meat in it and seasoned. Some places just boil beans and no seasoning. Well Dickey's knows how to do it. From sides to a nice full menu. You can't go wrong. Yes they cater and next time I'm in gonna try the ribs! Clean place and friendly staff. Their sweet tea is brewed fresh and mixed perfect. OH and as was about to leave, FREE ICE CREAM CONES complimentary!!! BOOM. Too bad I don't eat sweets anymore. But that's a plus for any age!

    Stopped into Hogwood BBQ in Franklin for dinner after a long, exhausting day and it absolutely hit…read morethe spot. I went with the Hogwood Sampler which comes with chicken, sausage, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, plus mac-n-cheese on the side. All in it was $27.89 plus tax, which feels like pretty fair market value for the amount and quality of food you're getting. The food itself was incredible. Way too many barbecue places lean way too hard on sauce to do the heavy lifting. That is not the case here. Every single meat had deep, legit smoky flavor on its own and honestly didn't even need sauce. That said, the sauces were also excellent. The Alabama white paired perfectly with the chicken, and the spicy tomato-based red sauce had a great kick without overpowering anything. Drink selection was another pleasant surprise. They've got Coke products and Tractor Organic Beverages. I mixed their unsweet tea with the Tractor mango and made myself a mango tea that worked way better than it had any right to. If I had to nitpick, the side selection is a little limited for my personal taste. I'm always hoping for fries or hush puppies, though to be fair that's not uncommon for BBQ joints around here. I also ran into a sticky spot on the table that clearly hadn't been fully wiped down from a previous guest. That said, the food was good enough that it still lands as a five-star experience for me. Hogwood BBQ is an excellent choice if you're looking for seriously good barbecue in Franklin.

    Wanted to love. Hoped I'd love it. I didn't love it. Actually, I didn't even like it…read more Went in hungry around 2:00. It's a counter service joint; you walk up, order, and then someone runs the food to your table. First off, they asked for a point of service tip; that bugs me when I'm ordering my own food at the counter and fetching my own drinks. The menu is fairly standard for a southern BBA joint; brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, chicken. I am generally suspicious of any place that offers chopped brisket. Brisket is meant to be sliced and enjoyed as a slab of meat, not as a pile of hash. So, the chopped brisket sandwich was out for me. I asked if the brisket platter would be served as slices, and they assured me it was, so I ordered brisket with two sides. They recommended the beans and the Mac 'n cheese, so that's what I went with. They also asked me if I wanted the meat lean, marbled, or half and half; I took that as a good sign, and asked for marbled. They food came out in about 5 mins; just enough time for me to head to the soda fountain and fill my own cup. Maybe they should tip me? On the plus side, the portions were pretty large. I'm guessing that the served at least 6-8 ounces of brisket, and the individual sides were pretty large as well. On the other hand, whoever sliced the brisket simply didn't know what they were doing. They sliced it WITH the grain, producing slices full of stringy meat. Stringy meat that was hard to cut with the plastic cutlery provided. I find it hard to believe that anyone who regularly serves BBQ brisket doesn't know to cut the meat against the grain. The meat appeared to feature a nice bark; however, on further exploration, a) the bark was so tough that it couldn't be cut as all with the plastic cutlery, and b) when I tore into it with my fingers and ate a piece, it had no taste. Not even a basic Texas salt and pepper rub could be detected. A large portion of tasteless, poorly cut meat does no one any favors. The beans were a little underdone; IMHO, that's far better than mushy, overcooked beans. However, they, too, had no flavor. No spice, nada. The mac and cheese was shells in a white cheese sauce. Strike 3; zero flavor for the sauce. I don't know how you can make cheese sauce without flavor, but they managed to do so. I have never, ever thrown as much food away at a a BBQ joint than I did today. What a shame. Not recommended, not even a little bit. Try Martin's or Edley's; if you prefer a chain, Mission BBQ will do you much better than Hogwood.

    Visited Edley's in Nolensville on a Monday night with my husband and three young kids. I've been to…read moreall of the Edley's locations around Nashville, but this one is by far the best for families, mostly because of the outdoor play area. Parking was super easy, and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean, and the restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of tables and room to spread out, which is always appreciated when dining with little kids. My kids played outside while we waited for our food, but the food came out quickly. The kids' meals are some of the best values in town. One tip: the bun on the kids' cheeseburger is huge compared to the patty. I asked if they could add an extra patty, and they did for just $1. After removing some of the bun, it made for a much better burger and still kept the meal incredibly affordable. The spicy chicken tacos are also some of the best tacos in town. Our family of five ate for about $50. We usually buy Edley's gift cards at Costco, so our actual cost was closer to $40. It's refreshing to have a restaurant in Nashville that truly welcomes families while still serving great food. Highly recommend for anyone dining with kids.

The nachos were super MID. I got the Country Salad with the brisket. This was by far the worst "brisket" I've ever had. It was super dry and extremely tough. It really seemed like a horrible chuck roast more than anything. The cut was so bad, that I'm convinced that somebody gave it to me like that on purpose, as some kind of cruel joke. Any real brisket person would be ashamed to serve such a thing. I did not send it back because I don't complain about food, and then trust the people to prepare something else without tampering with it. I just take the L. But If I can keep somebody else from having this happen to them, I'll take that instead. I left ALL that food in there. Money gone. I'm poor, so do you know how bad food has to be for me not to eat it? Especially food I PAID for. I wish I had taken pics of it, because my description here can't do it justice because I want to cuss really bad, and probably talk about the cook's mama. But I'm classy, so I won't. I'll put it like this... I wish I had more hands so I could give Edley's FOUR thumbs down.

Every item from the entrees down to the sides ( Cornbread & Mac & Cheese ) was absolutely fantastic not to mention the tandem of servers were very attentive & did an excellent job of taking care of us. One more bonus was for new customers they will give you a complimentary Banana Pudding for dessert which also was excellent.

I'm giving it one star because my toddler liked his chicken wings, but overall, I was disgusted by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the food. I wouldn't recommend it.

Sides: cornbread, Mac & cheese, baked beans, green beans (in bone broth and bacon). Cold sides such as bean salad, potato salad, Cole slaw.
