While visiting Nashville for work, I was exhausted and could only muster the strength to scroll Uber Eats. As the evening grew later, my options were limited. I had a taste for brisket, but wasn't sure of either option available. I pulled the trigger on Edley's and it said the restaurant was closed. Bummer. I continued to look and went back to my cart to remove Edley's and just figured I'd try anyway. The order went through - Salad with Smoked Brisket. What was I doing ordering brisket AND a salad at closing time. My expectations were low. I watched the app as they prepared the order (quickly) and the driver (also quickly) arrived to pick it up. Upon opening the bag, I expected the worse of all things. Closing time, a BBQ restaurant that I've never eaten at and salad. Not exactly the recipe for success. The salad was one of the best salads that I've ever had - fresh, select greens, firm veggies, delicious croutons.. I thought "ok, at least the salad is good, if the brisket isn't ". I opened the foil to find 2 nicely sized slices of brisket. I couldn't help but to notice how subtle but effective the smoke profile was. The more of it I ate, the more I could tell that it was smoky and tender and just flat out solid! My expectations were greatly exceeded. I even reached out to a manager (I don't remember the gentleman's name) to tell him of the great job his closing staff did on preparing the salad and the brisket. When I return to Nashville, I expected to dine Inside. Excellent!! read more

Smoked meats galore served here! Edley's is one of my top two favorite BBQ places that I enjoyed while in Tennessee (the other is Hunt's BBQ). This place is perfect. It has great food, ambiance, staff and seating. This location on 12th South is the one to visit. There is a line but it moves quickly. Once you order, you find a seat and they bring your food out when it's ready. We shared a Ribs and Brisket platter and chose mac n cheese and the grits casserole as our sides. The large piece of cornbread was light and fluffy and a great compliment to the meal. The ribs were cooked right and the meat tender and not dry. The brisket had the iconic smoke ring along the edges and was delicious. The meats were smoked and the entire restaurant smelled heavenly. I liked the grits casserole and mac n cheese sides as well. Everything just clicked at this place. Before leaving, I bought a few of their rubs and a BBQ sauce from their centrally located gift shop area to take home and enjoy. You too can enjoy this place when in Nashville! Try it and you won't be sorry. read more

While on a business trip in the area we came across this barbeque spot via yelp. It seems like a trendy place with parking in the neighborhood for nominal fee and seating indoor or outside patio. After looking over the menu and a little assistance from the friendly cashier I chose the barbeque beef brisket nachos. The draw back was it was crumbs seeming left over or that falls as a result of cutting the brisket. I was not totally fond of the brisket crumbs that were hard pieces or scrapes. I would go again if in the area but not get the same selection. read more

The food is amazing! We enjoyed the Catfish Sandwich and the BBQ Turkey Platter. We placed our orders at the counter and were given a number to take to our table. The hot meals were delivered within ten minutes on a busy Sunday evening. I am obsessed with Catfish when I visit the Midwest/ Southern States. The Catfish Sandwich had a special tartar sauce and plenty of coleslaw on the fish. We loved every bite! The Turkey Platter came with several pieces of turkey, coleslaw, mac & cheese plus pickles. The smoked turkey was thinly sliced and full of flavor. It was juicy and tender...just perfect. The spicy, sharp and tangy barbecue sauce was great on the turkey. The restaurant has a bit of an open concept. The garage style doors open onto their outside patio bringing the outdoors inside. We selected the outside patio because the music was a bit loud for our taste and we wanted to be able to converse. It was a bit cold this evening so we did ask for the patio heaters to be turned on. We were told they could only put them on low. We were cold and could not feel the heaters. The meal would have been much more enjoyable in a warmer environment. We would definitely take a warmer coat for indoors or out for our next visit. Overall we were thrilled with the restaurant selection for our dinner! read more

Catfish sandwich was good the pickles made the crunch even better..maybe a little too much to my liking should have went with the catfish strips. My husband's plate was pack with flavor his meats were tender and had that smoke line his sides the potato salad and pimento Mac n cheese all tasty and fresh. read more

Good bbq. Lively place. It was raining and a bit to cold to sit upstairs. Not the establishments fault!

Edley's is good, but not great. Convenient location, but parking is limited to a small lot or the street. Decor and menu items are what you would expect from a smokehouse. After perusing the menu, we decided on the Brisket Platter (w/mac & cheese and coleslaw) and the BBQ Nachos. While the portions were sizable, both were slightly underwhelming. Brisket was tender, but a bit salty and the sides were slightly bland. Nachos were meh. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Great BBQ being served here at Edley's. My ribs and brisket were cooked and seasoned to perfection and were very tender and moist. My sides were legit. Mac cheese next level. Parking is difficult and expensive just because of the restaurant location. Do your self a favor and check this place out. Service was excellent.

After being familiar with the Edley's brand for quite some time, it was special to be able to fly to Nashville and dine at their flagship location. Got the sampler platter to share and enjoyed a variety of meats and sides, all of which were tasty and perfectly complimented by the fried pickles (one of my favorite appetizers). It was poppin' here and generally is in the 12 South neighborhood. Great spot to visit with a large group. Would love to try their many other locations. You can see them all on their website or their beautiful mobile app. Definitely going to be a go-to stop whenever I have a chance to explore Nashville again. read more

Head heard god things about Edley's and we had a bit of a group so what ordered a good amount of food to the house. We ordered a mix of things: A Full Rack of St Louis Ribs: They were tender and juicy with very good flavor. I am a rib guy and these were for sure my favor of the meat. 18 Smoked Wings: I also very much enjoy Smoked Wings so these were also very good. Pulled Pork Platter: You really can't go wrong with it it's a classic. We also got a couple of sides but one really stood out above them all and that was the Grit Casserole. This was one of the best sides I have ever had at a BBQ joint and this is a must you have to get when coming to Edley's. read more

My cousin and I were shopping along 12 South and decided to have lunch here. I had the pulled pork plate with no sauce and coleslaw and fries as my sides. I really enjoyed everything. The pork was flavorful and tender. Loved the vinegary coleslaw. Fries were good. Cornbread was also very good. My cousin had the fried catfish sandwich. She thought the fish was good but did not like all the toppings on it. We also got a side of fried pickles. These were delicious with a hit of spice. Good ranch dipping sauce. Line was quick. My food came out quick. My cousin's took a bit longer but not too long. read more

First time trying catfish, and the catfish sandwich was pretty tasty. It came on a light bun with coleslaw and perfectly crispy catfish. I'll definitely be back for that sandwich, and it's reasonably priced. We also ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs and tacos, and everything hit the spot. Even better, we caught happy hour and enjoyed $3 beers. Great value overall. read more

Got there late in the afternoon on Friday and not as busy as it normally is. Ordered the brisket and ribs dinner. Also ordered mac & cheese and coleslaw. The brisket was fatty not a lot of flavor and the ribs were extremely dry and had a burnt crust to it. The mac & cheese and the coleslaw was delicious as was the cornbread with jalapeños. Casual environment and some what costly for the food quality. read more

I hadn't been to Nashville since 2016 and I had totally forgotten about Edley's. If you are looking for something authentic and you are with someone who cannot tolerate Nashville hot chicken spice you are in luck because you can get you hot chicken spice here AND those that need a more milder experience can also have theirs. The food was awesome as always. I like how you just order at the counter and sit down wherever. The place is very family oriented there's tvs to catch a game. Everyone was kind in true southern fashion. read more

This is one of my favorite BBQ joint in Nashville. I would say this ranks top 3 in my food blog. Their briskets and ribs are so tender they just melt in your mouth.

I came here about 6 years ago and still found I enjoyed this place. Ample seating and a very classic bbq joint vibe, this place is good for big and small groups alike. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful when making recommendations. The only downside was that a lot of items on the menu were sold out the day we went, but given that it was a heavy football weekend, it makes sense. We ordered ribs and hot chicken tacos and both were delicious in their own way. I thought the tacos were a unique way have hot chicken as usually its a sandwich or platter. These tacos had some heat even without the jalapeño dressing and were filled to the brim with pics de Gallo, chicken, and cheese. I ordered 3 but could barely make it past 2. My husband ordered ribs and he loved how they easily fell off the bone and were packed with flavor. I would definitely come back here to try more items on the menu. read more

Atmosphere was good, food was good, wait was long. We loved the brisket, sausage and banana pudding. Ribs, green beans, mac & cheese, corn bread and the grits were okay. The coleslaw was different and not in a good way. We would go again for the brisket and to try their wings because those seem to be a hit. Definitely worth a try! read more

Fine bbq. Nothing special. Got the big platter for 3-4 including ribs, brisket, pork, mac and cheese, greens, grits, gumbo. Got some wings too which were probably the best part. Gristly ribs, dry pork and brisket. Greens very over salted. All fine nothing special. read more

Loved this place! The food was delicious and the service was great! Only downside was that they sold out of brisket and ribs :( We ordered: - Pork sandwich: nice smoke flavor, meat was tender - Fries: so good. Nice and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Had great flavor! - Potato Salad: good. Love that it didn't taste super oniony - Burnt ends: tasted more like steak but had great flavor and char. A little tough. - Grits: so good! One of my favorites! Had a nice cheesy smoky flavor - corn bread: OK, not great. A little dry and not much flavor - Mac & cheese: creamy and really good. Also had good flavor! - Beans: perfect blend of sweet and savory. One of my favorites. Would definitely come back and recommend. But go early. read more

Great spot to enjoy some BBQ! Good vibes, good food, and good service. Really enjoyed the brisket tacos. Others had the smash burger, the brisket sandwich and the brisket platter and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our food came out quickly.

If you only have one BBQ meal in Nashville, let it be the burnt ends on grits from Edley's--seriously, my mouth waters just thinking about those delicious morsels. They also have Shirley Temple on tap, which was a nice surprise! The brisket sandwich was just okay--not bad, but a little less tender than I expected, probably because the burnt ends are saved for the other dish. Still flavorful though, especially with their yummy BBQ sauce. Oh and the fries are super good, banana pudding was yummy also! The cashier was a sweetheart, the space was clean and spacious, and even though we arrived right at opening, there was already a line out the door by the time we left. I really loved this spot--and the whole 12 South neighborhood. If you're short on time in Nashville, Broadway is fun, but make time for this strip and definitely stop by Edley's. If I ever come back, this will be my first stop. read more

We decided to swing by to pick up some TN bbq on the way out of Nashville back home to Georgia! What a delicious treat! This location was on the way out of town for us so it was super convenient! The area was super cute and trendy. Parking was a bit confusing but it was Monday around lunch time but we were able to find parking in a lot directly across from Edleys! The parking prices were crazy but since this was for Togo, we settled on the 15 minutes parking for $4. Fortunately, Edleys does validate parking for up to 90 minutes for their customers! When we arrived, we were so warmly greeted by a gentleman. He escorted us to the ordering counter and made wonderful recommendations for us two to share (three meat sampler of brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken and 2 sides) but we also wanted to try the ribs so we got a rack ($28) added into a combo, which means add two sides and cornbread. We got the baked beans, Mac and cheese, potato salad, and banana pudding. The portions of meat were generous and we have been eating on it for two days! Everything was so good. The pulled pork came on a bed of slaw. Pulled chicken was so tender. Brisket was melt in your mouth perfect of fat and meat. The ribs were PERFECT. The service was really good, upon the food being ready, he even offered a quality check before we left to make sure we were happy before leaving. read more

Last day in Tennessee and grabbed some bbq before heading to the airport. Walked in, looked at the menu, ordered and grabbed a seat. Pretty simple and quick. The line was short as the place had just opened. Our food came o it fairly quickly. We ordered 8 piece wings with buffalo, brisket, pulled pork, ribs and fours sides. For our sides we got coleslaw, Mac and cheese, potato salad and banana pudding. The guy who took our order recommended we put bbq on the wings. They were so good. We loved every part of our meal. We even ordered some food to take back home. read more
