    The Bushwacker, a frozen delight
    Char C.

    First, the music was great, it lifted my spirits walking up to the front door. When you walk in youre hit with that pleasant smoky smell you expect from a bbq joint. We came in kinda late, so it wasn't crowded. Kai recommended the dry rubbed wings (they were definitely 5 star) and banana pudding (3 star). Our food came pretty fast. I had the pork platter, but my pork was a little cold, so I got that cold greasy bite that turned me off. However the grits casserole was fantastic. I like grits, but this My hubby had the brisket and rib combo. The brisket was tender and flavored nicely. The ribs were a little tough. My grandma made the best banana pudding, so I'm always on the lookout for a good one. The one I had was a little drier than I would have liked, but wasn't bad. I am not a fan of ordering drinks separately from food, but it wasn't bad. I could see where a busy night might make it a little more tricky. I will absolutely come back for the wings and grits!

    This BBQ place has already been a staple for me, this is my second time coming to Edley's. This time I got the 3 Brisket Tacos with 2 sides, the grist casserole and green beans. The tacos were so good! I don't love tomatoes, so I took those off, but the brisket is seasoned well with a good sauce and fried jalapeños inside! I ate and enjoyed all 3 of them! The grits casserole is also sooo good, but I also love grits the green beans are cooked in liquid and seasoned well, I couldn't finish them all because I ate everything else! The restaurant is nicely decorated with plenty of seating and an expansive bar with tons of options. Make sure you bring you ID because they card regardless of how old you are!

    While vacationing, wanted to get some southern BBQ. We got the full rack of ribs with cole slaw and baked beans, and brisket platter with mac & cheese and banana pudding. We liked the ribs, baked beans and BBQ sauce the most. Other side dishes lacked flavor and I probably wouldn't order again. Little disappointing that brisket was not tender and dry. Although there is inconvenience to order food separately from beverages at the bar, service was friendly and good.

    Usually whenever barbecue comes to mind I usually expect the meat to be some what chewie or dry, but this by far is the most tendered meat i've had in a while! Absolutely loved it. Service was great. Everyone's friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is the time it takes for the food, and how long it takes the servers to clean tables. Good thing they have TV's and classic country music playing to keep everyone distracted.

    We love coming to this location. Sitting on the patio is always enjoyable. On our next visit we hope to try out the little putting green. My baby isn't quite old enough for the kind of food that they have on their kids menu. But, I get the chicken platter with no sauce on the chicken and for $1 extra they shred it. It makes it so easy for sharing with her. Fries are never listed on the sides but they have them since they have a fry appetizer. My husband never has an issue getting fries as a side. The cornbread is so good and upon request they will bring you honey for it. The Mac and cheese is a $1 extra has a side but when I ordered that I was surprised to see the charge. When I looked back at the chalkboard menu I noticed how faint the $1 was. Not a big deal but just something to be mindful of. Our favorites our the chicken platter, anything with pork, and the smash burger. For sides, we love green beans, banana pudding and collard greens. We are here at least twice a month if not weekly.

    This was our first time at an Edley's and it was a disappointing meal all around. It took 25-30 minutes for us to get our food after we ordered at the counter and it was not a busy night overall. The brisket and chicken were cold by the time we got our food, which was extra frustrating after waiting so long. The restaurant itself was also freezing and it was an uncomfortable meal. This is just not a good restaurant and they need to fix several things before it would be a place that we'd return to in the future.

    Walked in and walked through a line placed my order and found a table. I got the 8 wing platter. Wings are a little tough and I don't like feathers on my wings. I think that they could be cooked a little longer. I had one that was not cooked/raw inside. I voiced my concern. Well, Hunter came right out to talk to me about the wings. He is the Pit Master here. I really appreciate that they took out the time to talk to us. Well this time I got the turkey platter and it's plentiful. The turkey is tender and good. My better half got the ribs and brisket platter with green beans and potato salad brisket is really tender and the ribs are really good. I'd come back. I just won't get wings. By the way Hunter gave us a banana pudding for our troubles. I Really appreciate that too and the longer I sit here the more it's filling up when I first came in. It wasn't that many folks here but now it's getting really crowded. Great place for family gatherings. The ambiance is not overwhelming/ too loud. Nice country western music. Some oldies of rock and roll too. Edley's, Welcome to the neighborhood!

    I got the barbecue avocado plate and added turkey . There was so much flavor and I love the bacon and sauce on there. I had some of the grit casserole too and it was nice and cheesy and had a nice kick to it The service was very good and I definitely want to go back and try more items on the menu .

    PORK SANDWICH NASHVILLE STYLE BBQ and a side of BEAN SALAD.
    Austin T.

    How this place only has 3.7 stars is beyond my comprehension. Their BURNT ENDS are the BEST bbq in this area by a long shot. Yes, I am comparing it to the famous 1st place RIDGEWOOD BARBECUE in Bluff City. It is a close 2nd place to all others in this state. I don't care if it is a chain now or not. On my most recent visit I had the pleasure of indulging in the PORK SANDWICH NASHVILLE STYLE. It is pretty hot, but very tasty. I ate half of the sandwich as I was full! Big portions. Nose running, mouth tingling, it was delicious. After about 5 minutes of no contact with the sandwich, my mouth was back to normal. It is a creeping heat. I paired it with a side of BEAN SALAD. Ambiance 100%. Tip well!

    The spread.

    We had a party of 45 we needed catered so we called up Edleys the king of the bbq. They did not disappoint. Plenty of pulled chicken, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, beans, potato salad cornbread and buns. Everything was delicious and was delivered in a timely manner. Bbq sauce was spot on but we also had white bbq sauce which was actually quite good everyone left happy and with leftovers. Nice work Edleys!

    Stopped by Strouds in Lebanon last night. There is quite a bit of fat in the barbecue that adds to…read morethe weight that I am paying for. There was alot of liquid with fat drippings in it also. The taste was good but with the fat and liquid in the container, I'm sure I didn't get the full pound of meat that I paid for. DO better Strouds or I want be back.

    I think someone should just be honest and say that there are so many corners cut at this restaurant…read moreit seems. I'm assuming in the chain. The health inspection score has never change. When asked about this, they said "It's because of the building." Then fix the building??? Edley's can get a 100 everytime as well as Bringles (which is planets better). I have physically seen rats running through this restaurant. In the bathroom, outside of the restaurant and in the dining room. There service is awful, I've seen black spots in all the ice and ice machine when standing at the counter and have seen employees spit in food and drinks and hand it to cops and couldn't believe it when I saw it. I asked about that and they said, "I don't like them." I'm assuming they meant that person, but that could be towards cops. I'm unsure. It's tacky looking, smells horrible and really doesn't look like a well kept building, which it isn't (just judging from having two fires in under 6 years). From what I understand no insurance for full-time employees is offered and people are grossly underpaid. I was able to ask a few employees and asked about their hours and it was kind of depressing. I also was able to catch a glimpse of them making the lemonade and pudding. None of it is real or made from scratch. It's all packaged product and sugar basically mixed together in tubs or pans. It was just so much sugar. Enough to give an elephant diabetes. I saw from the counter how they stored their pork. I'm assuming in a walk-in, but it's stored in horribly used containers. It's literally tin foil wrapping and if it tears then so be it I guess. Nothing seems to be stored properly. Black mold all throughout the building. I could see it in the bathroom, and the dining room so I could only assume it's throughout the building. A former employee told me they were forced to work in hazardous snow conditions and after they were injured. They did not help them medically. Also the smoke from this place will destroy your hair and eyes. I saw some before and after photos of a person's hair line and prescription. Just steep decline in under a year from conditions. The doctor's told them that. And also at the end of the day the food just tastes so horrible. Just please stay away is my best advice.
