SO MANY FLIES. I understand it might be difficult to control, but this was truly disgusting. I would not come back to this location. They are EVERYWHERE. The employees were actively trying to do things to help but not worth it. I wouldn't get food to go because they are also all over the kitchen. Second - basically no parking. They have a small lot behind with 90 min of parking but it is often full. The other lots are $18 for 2 hours. We did find street parking quite a bit away and parked there. Edleys food is good and consistent across locations. The hot chicken tacos are some of the best in nashville. And their kids meals are also one of the best deals around, although the bun to meat ratio on the kids burger is about 80% bun and 20% meat. I typically add a second patty for a few dollars. I don't typically give this low of stars but I truly wouldn't recommend coming to this location with the flies. Find another Edleys! read more

It's always a good meal at Edley's! I've never been to this location before and I think it's my favorite. They were out of burnt ends, but I opted for the pork platter w/ Mac & cheese. I love their BBQ sauce! It's perfect to accompany any of the meats. The Mac & cheese is thick, creamy and so delicious. Hubby ordered the brisket sandwich and devoured it! He got the baked beans and the banana pudding. Btw, the banana pudding is a must! Be sure to save room for it! My daughter ordered the hot chicken sandwich and the Mac & cheese. Everyone was super happy with their meals. They have a full bar but we didn't get alcohol this time. read more

I love the patio! It's large and they let dogs on it and the inside patio as well. The food is always great but the last time I went they were out of lots of protein options which was a shame. They also did not have cheerwine which the other location always has. read more

If you're wanting consistent, delicious barbecue in Middle Tennessee, there are a lot of places I'd recommend but you can never go wrong with Edley's. Edley's is in fact one of my top places to go and there are several locations around the area. I've been to several and they are all the same, in a good way, because it's consistent. What I've gotten here, I've gotten at the Gallatin, 12th South, and Murphy Road locations. I'm also a man of habit, I love love love barbecue ribs, so I go for that (or brisket) every time. I know I have to eat somewhat healthy, so I do always get the green beans and then pair that up with the mac and cheese. For dessert, if I'm feeling it, I get the chess pie because chess pie is one of my favorite pies of all time. The star of the show here is the ribs. Always the ribs. They are St. Louis style, which I prefer more than baby back ribs. It's a perfect balance of sauce, delicious smoky meat, and a thin layer of fat on the bottom of the rib. What you get is sweet, tangy, rich, and savory tastes in every bite. I know this is gross to some, but that nice bit of crunch from the cartilage off the rib is the icing on the cake! The green beans and mac and cheese are great too, but I don't typically rant/rave about sides unless they blow my mind. Last but not least is the chess pie. I love chess pie because it's, a simple pie that can be made with simple ingredients but is rich and sweet. I mean who doesn't love butter, sugar, and eggs? If you haven't had it, it's a Southern staple! read more

Nashville kind of has an identity crisis when it comes to barbecue. I think we truly have very poor options when it comes to barbecue in general in this city. However Edleys is FAR above the other chain options in my opinion. The interior looks similar to all the there big places. Wood paneling with artwork laden walls and a huge bar area. Let's start off with the ribs. Several other places in town have very lack luster and DRY ribs (yes I know dry rub is a style of ribs but if the meat itself is dry I am not interested). These still do have a little dryness to them, although not as bad as some of the other places in town I have been. I personally also do not believe barbecue sauce should carry the barbecue, the seasoning and smoky flavor is what makes good barbecue good. These are amazing, perfect blend of seasoning, sauce ratio, and the burnt ends near the bone are fabulous. Brisket is another one that is often far too dry in this city. This brisket is juicy, had the perfect fat content ratio, and smoky flavor. Many other chains in the city their brisket can be a mess of just fat, this is nicely balanced. The smoked sausage is also the best I have had of the big chains in the city, perfect snap, great smoky flavor that I always look for, the cheddar inside isn't overpowering and the jalapeño pieces add a nice kick. The grits are FANTASTIC Y'all. Cheddar cheese (I think?) with some form of pepper inside makes for a great balance and they aren't mushy which many grits can be. Mac and cheese is good. Nothing to die for or write home about but again better than some of the other chains in the city. Overall this is the only barbecue place I would recommend to visitors, besides a pit grill on the side of the road somewhere. Shoutout to the waiter Suzie for selecting these options for me today, I let her build my own dinner. Go early because the dinner line was insane at 6:30pm. read more

Amazing food and amazing service! The lady at the counter was so hospitable and helpful. She checked on me a few times during the meal and even offered to refill my drink for me. The meats were quality. I got the brisket and the ribs. Both were nice and tender. I'm usually very picky with meat texture, but they got it right. Even my leftovers were delicious after reheating. The ambiance is homey and casual. There's outdoor seating on the deck, a good amount of indoor seating, and a bar area. read more

Oooooh yum. There is another bbq joint in town that I prefer, but my my my, the potato salad at Edley's is WONDERFUL. It's so good, I think it's my definite favorite. The brisket here is good too, but that potato salad will have me dreaming about it for days - it's got bacon and ranch in it with mellow onion backdrop. It's ah-mazing! If you're a fan of potato salad, it's truly a winner and head and shoulders above the rest. I love that their ribs are fall off the bone tender here, I just I think the bbq sauce is a tad on the sweet side and thicker than I'd like, I prefer a touch more smoke flavor. I do prefer to taste the smokiness of the meat and not have it overpowered so much by the sauce, but to each his own! And for sure the bbq overall is wonderful here, it's just a matter of personal preference for sure! But oh man, that potato salad... read more

We had a large party on Saturday, 9/28/24, at 5:30 pm. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. There was no wait because we got there so early, but it got packed. Fries were not listed on the menu, but they did have them and they were delicious. I got the Brisket Platter ($21). The brisket was great! I got it with the Mac & Cheese (+$1), which was super good and the Bean Salad because I didn't know they had fries. Wouldn't get the Bean Salad again. I also got corn bread and that was good too! The kids meal is such a good deal! The BBQ Sandwich was $4.50 for the sandwich, a side, and a drink! And it was enough for an adult portion! Everyone enjoyed what they got, including their cocktails! They have plenty of TVs to watch sports. Highly recommend! read more

The burnt ends are overpriced for what they charge for them. Mostly just fat. The restaurant wasn't that clean and would have sat outside so that we would have had less flies but it was raining. read more

We visited Edley's today after having a poor experience at an unrelated barbecue place in Nashville last night. Edley's restored our faith in barbecue in the area! We went overboard and got brisket, pulled pork, ribs, Mac, cornbread, and banana pudding. Everything was amazing!! The brisket is incredible but everything was delicious. I don't think I've like banana pudding until now. Employees were kind and attentive. The service was fast and the food was served hot. I would highly recommend giving Edley's a try! read more

Edley's in Sylvan Park is the best vibe. They have a great outdoor space and indoor bar area. You order at the front and the food comes FAST, even though the line can be long sometimes. As far as food goes, I've tried lots on the menu, but you MUST get the fried pickles to start. Any of the meat platters you get here you cannot go wrong with. Many local beers on draft and amazing Bushwackers. Only con is that when busy it can be nearly impossible to find parking in their small lot, but pro tip: park across the street at McCabe Park. read more

Plenty of seating even though it was busy. We both got brisket. My husband loved it, I thought it was ok. He enjoyed the grits casserole & coleslaw sides. I enjoyed the green beans & collard greens. I also liked the table side ordering of beverages, very convenient. read more

I love this Edley's location! It's in such a cute area, and they have plenty of seating indoor and outside! During dinner, you may have to wait in a bit of a line, but it moves very quickly! I recently discovered Edley's has some of the best wings I've ever had!! I've never had white bbq sauce before, and someone recommended I try it out. I decided to get them and I was not disappointed. I think about those wings often. They put just the right amount of sauce, and the actual wings have a lot of meat on them, and they're so juicy with just the right amount of crispiness. I usually get the bean salad to be a little healthy, but then I also get their Mac n cheese because I love their Mac! I never thought I'd order wings at a BBQ spot, but I will be getting those quite often now! read more

Edley's Bar-B-Que - White bbq Wing Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've lived in Nashville for 13 years, and this used to be a solid bbq spot. But, the food quality had dropped severely. I just had the burnt ends with mac and cheese on the side. The burnt ends were 30% completely fat. I'm shocked they would put it on a plate. Also, they up-charge $1 for Mac and cheese, which has become average at best. Sad to see this fall off. I'll try other locations before I write them off, but won't be back to this one for a while. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had in a Restaurant order was lost. It took forever for the food to come out and it would come out one person at a time. My food never came out went back to the kitchen twice. Finally told them to forget it give me credit and I was gone. I do not go out to a restaurant to get frustrated when I'm trying to have a pleasant meal with friends! read more

Never thought it would take 25 minutes ( ordered at 3:59... received it at 4:25) for a pork platter, two Mac and cheese and an extra cornbread. Not to mention 20 bucks. The place was empty. Everyone standing around while food sits there. Def will hesitate to come back... I like edleys but this experience left me perplexed. Top it off. I never got an apology for the long wait. Like geez I was hoping for. "Sorry about that wait..." no explanation either. I ordered before people came in to sit down and they received their food before I did. Ridiculous. I don't usually do bad reviews but holy smokes. I understand if it's a packed house but there wasn't. It gets 1 star for it being hot and not cold. read more

Food was great but their parking management company is running a scam. Advertised free 90 minutes of parking for customers, I scanned my QR code to validate parking per instructions from the employee who took our order. Got a receipt via text. We were there for less than 45 minutes. PMC Paid Parking Nashville took my credit card info and charged me $43 for parking. I contacted PMC and they did not address the issue. I've now had to register a dispute with my credit card and go through that huge hassle. Will miss this place but cannot imagine going back there while PMC is running their lot. read more

Harry C back again! The food tour continues. We did takeout for Edleys so I cannot speak to anything besides the food. Hot Chicken, Delicious. Brisket, Solid. Mac N Cheese, Potato Salad and Beans, Good. Brownies, Great. Butter Bar.. Top 5 Dessert All Time! Enjoy yourself! read more

We started visiting Edley's during the pandemic and eating at McCabe's picnic tables. Fun memories with to go bushwackers!

I came to Nashville for good BBQ and I will NOT be leaving disappointed!! Came here on a recommendation from a friend. This place had such a fun bbq vibe and the one staff member I interacted with was nice. The food was SO good. The ribs fell right off the bone and my other friends enjoyed their dishes. The real winner was the fried pickles. The website describes them as addicting and they are spot on with that description. Go here! read more

Terrific lunch at the Edley's on Murphy in Nashville. Aside from great food, the outdoor seating and music were excellent. The staff is super friendly and our meals came quickly. We got the brisket and pork combo platter and a turkey platter. The bark on the brisket makes the trip worthwhile - delicious. The turkey is sliced thin, tender, and juicy. Our sides were tasty - we tried the baked beans, collard greens, bean salad, and coleslaw. All were very good as was the cornbread. read more

! The burnt ends were tough and the casserole was bland. I tried the catfish, unfortunately no regular tartar sauce. All they had was a type of sauce with a lot of horseradish. The restaurant is crowded and chaotic! read more

I love Edley's, but I found this location to be a bit lackluster. The food was good, but not nearly as good as I've had at other Edley's locations. The service was fine, but not the attentive and friendly service at other location. And it definitely felt like the place could use a bit of a deep cleaning, and to have the tables wiped down more frequently. In the future I'll skip this location, but I'll definitely visit their other locations regularly. read more

We love Edley's and visit multiple locations regularly. So far 12 south is always the best service and portions. We had never been to this one.

Edley's Has Taken A Nose Dive...by trying to serve quickly everyone and pleasing no one...six people in our party and everyone of our orders was wrong...finally had to resolve it ourselves by switching everything around and getting replacements from what couldn't be swapped. Tried to hand the things we did not order to the server who told us with great impatience that she could not take anything back...she could have just taken their mistakes and thrown them out. I tried to buy an iced down can of Edley's lager sitting right next to the register...but the girl who messed up all our orders said she was not old enough to sell us beers, so we had to go to fight for a place at the bar to get our drinks. (their draft lager is not near as good as the canned version). The food quality has decreased...while trying to increase profit by serving the large crowds, all meaning they have sacrificed what Edley's great. read more

Incredible, even though I'm from California and don't know what "real" southern BBQ tastes like, I was sincerely bowled over by everything I tasted. My family ordered the limited-time BBQ lamb pita, the brisket sandwich, the avocado salad with turkey, and the fried okra. Wow, just wow! It was so dang good and we were stuffed afterward. Huge portions, extremely hospitable service and a really fun, open atmosphere... what more can you ask for?? Oh, and the prices were average. Overall a great experience! read more

OMG - we had an amazing lunch (that will probably cover dinner as well!) Two platters - pork and brisket. Each comes with cornbread and two sides. We had Gouda grits, baked beans, slaw and potato salad. But the meat - the brisket was so tender, as well as came with a great smoke ring. The pork was also so tender, flavorful and just right! Gouda grits -why would anyone want Mac & cheese instead of this? The baked beans were also good, spicy and tender. Potato salad & coleslaw were great - not the traditional but so good. We enjoyed a couple of Pilsner's and are no so stuffed! We will be back! read more

I originally visited the Sylvan Park location, but unfortunately, they were out of ribs, brisket, and turkey, which was pretty disappointing for a BBQ spot. After hearing that, I decided to head over to the 12 South location, and that's where I had my meal. Parking:There's free street parking, free curbside pickup parking, and plenty of paid lots around the area, so it's easy to find a spot. Wait Time:I placed my order around 8:20 pm, and my food was ready in just about 8 minutes, arriving at 8:28 pm--pretty fast! Service:The cashier was super friendly and took my order with a smile. I ordered my drink by scanning the QR code, and it was brought to me in less than five minutes. Great service all around! Atmosphere:The vibe was cozy, with country music playing in the background and a nice fireplace, which was perfect given the cold weather. The tables and floors were clean, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal and it also wasn't crowded. Drink:Mini Bushwacker ($6.50) - 4/5It was sweet but not overly so. I could taste the alcohol, but it wasn't overwhelming. A solid choice for a casual drink Entree Ribs and Brisket Platter, comes with two sides and cornbread ($24) I got the ribs and brisket platter, which comes with cornbread and two sides--mac and cheese and grits casserole. * Mac and Cheese: 4/5Delicious! The mac had a nice balance of seasoning and a satisfying crunch from the breadcrumbs on top. Definitely something I'd order again. * Grits Casserole: 4/5The grits were a bit cold when they arrived, but the flavor was fantastic. A savory dish with a small kick from the jalapeños. I could easily see this being paired with shrimp for a great brunch option. * Cornbread: 3/5It was fine--nothing to write home about. It came a little cold, but I know some people don't mind that. It wasn't a standout, just average. * Ribs and Brisket: 3/5The ribs were a little on the chewy side--not quite fall-off-the-bone like I hoped. The flavor was okay, but it wasn't anything extraordinary. The brisket had good flavor, but without BBQ sauce, it leaned a bit dry. Overall it was a pretty average experience. I would possibly go again maybe to try out their happy hour. read more
