    BBQ Half Chicken with Tortilla Soup and Bean Salad!
    Peter M.

    Great Spot For Barbecue I stopped into Edleys on Lebanon Pike to try out some of their barbecue dishes. This location is close to BNA and hotels near the airport. Edley's has locations in Nashville and other areas of Tennessee. On this visit, I was looking for something different from my usual barbecue staple,s which are brisket, ribs and steaks. I ordered the Chicken Platte,r which comes with half a smoked chicken, a side of beans, coleslaw, corn bread and pickles. The chicken was very flavourful and was a very healthy portion, and I was almost unable to try the beans and the cornbread. Overall, it was a decent-sized meal that I was barely able to finish. Edleys makes great chicken, and I would try it again if I have a chance to go back.

    2nd time visiting this establishment in Nashville the other time was at a different location. Both times however have been really good. This time we tried different things my husband had the turkey platter with green beans and baked beans. I had the catfish platter and every thing was served hot and fresh the macaroni was really good better than expected. The service was good and the staff friendly. We will return

    My first visit to Edley's was fantastic! There are a few parking spots in the front for pickup orders, but plenty of parking behind the building. This location has a laid back, casual vibe with counter service and a full bar. I visited on a busy weekday evening, but the line to order moved quickly. After grabbing our drinks, it was only a few minutes before our food arrived. I ordered the smoked turkey plate with green beans, mac n cheese and cornbread. The turkey was smoked to perfection and was a huge portion. The mac n cheese had a great breadcrumb topping. I don't usually like coleslaw, but the small side that arrived with my meal was delicious!! Our group also tried the BBQ fries, which were incredible. After just one visit, I made sure to download the app -- I'll definitely be back!

    Highly recommended by multiple sources, we ventured from Opryland to Edley's BBQ prior to hitting the Grand Ole Opry. I know we are tourists, but we definitely enjoyed our time in music city, hanging with the locals and devouring some great food. Tennessee BBQ (ribs and brisket) at this joint is saucy, super tender, full of meat flavor and nicely coupled with some ice cold craft beer. Loved the coleslaw, collard greens and corn bread too. Pricing seemed reasonable, and although you stand in line to order, the follow up service was super attentive and all of the staff were pleasant. Southern hospitality charm coupled with great tasting generous portions, this place is a winner.

    Decided on Edley's BBQ on Lebanon Pike for Dinner. Ordered the Brisket Platter with lean Brisket, added 3oz smoked turkey for an up charge with potato salad & coleslaw. The Brisket came with a little sauce in it, but it was really good plain. Tender and melt in your mouth. Excellent Brisket. The potato salad was very good with large chunks of potato and awesome flavor. The coleslaw was different, but good. Not my favorite and kind of sour, a little different, but would probably go best with pulled pork. The turkey was an absolute amazing surprise. This was real turkey breast, not that pieced together lunch meat they smoke and slice. This was incredibly delicious and worth it. My wife also got the Brisket Platter with beans and potato salad. She loved everything. Unfortunately I found out the turkey is not the same at all the locations. That was incredibly disappointing. I would definitely return to this location. I did try another Edley's location and that experience was not good. This location had solid food and great service.

    Friendly service, good beer and delicious BBQ food! The portions are generous and the atmosphere is chilled and pleasant.

    Ok!!!! Better than I expected. A great view of catfish.

    I couldn't wait after my last review to try the catfish dinner....5 pieces of small fish. It was OK. My catfish sandwich was a lot better before. Sides: Cornbread 4 Mac: 3, Grits Casserole: 5, Potato Salad: 3 Banana Pudding: 5!! Amazing value for money. Especially Uber Eats deal. I love the attention to service and packing. You can tell that everything was double checked. I can't wait to try the bbq.

    Brisket Platter with jalapeño cheese sausage
    Rita D.

    The lady taking the orders was initially not very welcoming, however, I had to understand that she probably has to deal with indecisive people all day. Our server was awesome though so it balanced out staff experience. The food was just ok. I did not like the mac n cheese nor the string beans. The brisket was tender but flavorless without sauce. I did love my jalapeno cheese sausage though. I tasted my friend's wing and that was delicious! Seems that this is a very popular local place so it's good to see everyone meeting up for dinner.

    Combo Tri Star Platter with jalapeño sauce and close slaw and Mac and cheese

    It was alright , didn't really have any flavor, we had the combo platter -pulled pork, chicken, Brisket and added on the jalapeño sausage with coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Pulled pork was bland no flavor really, the pulled chicken wasn't bad, probably the best meat on the platter. Brisket was over cooked, and really dry hard to swallow. Probably should've came off the smoker a little sooner! The sausage seemed like it was just heated up on a stove top. Coleslaw was drowned in vinegar. Maybe we just tried the wrongs meats, but I would come back. Employees were nice and friendly.

    We came here for a short weekend trip and had to get some good barbecue that is hyped up in this city! It was very confusing to order and the lady was pretty impatient with us so we got everything. We got the platter with one of each meats of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, corn, fries and banana pudding. My favorite was the pulled pork and ribs- both tender and flavorful. The brisket was a little fatty and tough which was not to my liking. For the sides the mashed potatoes and corn were disgusting (also not a fan of sweet potatoes and the corn was watery). The banana pudding was a 100000/10. I never had pudding before and that was life changing. The mac and cheese and fries were average. Overall for the price and quality this place is worth it! You cant go wrong with getting any of the meats here. We paid like $60 for everything and it was well worth it!

    Fish sandwich with homemade tartar sauce.

    Customer service was great. Was greeted when I entered and very friendly when answering questions. I ordered the brisket and jalapeno sausage dinner with grits casserole and green beans. It also came with cornbread. I also ordered a catfish sandwich. I love grits. Was unfamiliar with a grits casserole. It was good. They had a little kick but not bad. The green beans were very flavorful. The cornbread was okay. The brisket was okay. I appreciated that there wasn't a lot of fat on the slices. The barbecue sauce helped it which was sweet with a kick. The jalapeno sausage was good. I had never heard of the combination. The catfish sandwich was excellent. The catfish was fried perfectly and seasoned well. The tartar sauce was great. I only had one bite of each because it was late in the day. Leftovers were good.

    2 meat plate

    Went here for dinner last night and was pleasantly surprised. Being a Texan, BBQ on the road is sometimes questionable but Edley's delivered a stellar product. The restaurant feels like a typical BBQ house in Texas, great decor, good vibes and sweet smoky smell. I had the 2 meat plate, lean brisket and sausage and both were absolutely on point. The sauce had a good little kick to it making it the perfect compliment to the Smokey meats. The beans were called baked beans, but were more like good pinto beans with a sweet taste, they were very good. The service was good, there are no waitstaff, you order when you walk in, they give you a number and then a runner brings your food, drinks are self serve, so its hard to judge service so i will leave it at good. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

    Boozy milkshake

    We are in town from California celebrating my 40th birthday and wanted to stop for lunch before heading to the house for the weekend. I researched food ahead of time and decided to try Edley's - oh my goodness!! We are all sooooo pleased with this choice. We went hard with our options- we got the tri star platter, fried pickles, a jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket sandwich, brisket fries and a bunch of other stuff amongst the table. We got the boozy milkshake and the Tennessee IPA. Everything was amazing!! I would 100% recommend this place. The service was great and the ambiance was chill, casual and easy. You walk in, order, pay, and they bring it to the table.

There are drinks that are refreshing/lighter and ones that are more spirit-centered. They also have small bites that are really excellent pairs to the drinks. 2 - It is very small. So if you feel like you'll land on a spot because someone popped in and just left, you might be out of luck. We were able to be seated because we came a little earlier, and I believe someone at the bar left earlier than anticipated. 3 - It's quite dark/moody. If you have a person who's weirded out by spaces like this, go somewhere else. If you can't read the menu in the darker/lower lit spaces, bring out your phone's flashlight. One thing that's GREAT about the menu is that they have it in contrasting colors (ie light paper and black ink) and the font is large. There was a spot that I went to recently where the lighting was very low and they used a dark tan font on manila colored paper. If the lighting was normal, it wouldn't have been a problem ... but in lower light, the lack of contrast was not helpful! 4 - The staff is really great. I know that I mentioned it before, but if you've ever been to places like The Aviary in Chicago or places like this, you'll feel that this is right in the same lane.

You step into a clean, medium fancy, and extremely well-decorated but still small bar with really casual vibes. There's a mix of bar-top and small tables/couches for seating, but because of the small size, this is ideal for a solo, a couple or a group of no more than 4. It was decorated for Christmas when i came but the normal vibe seems more European punk, and I love the purple-green lighting -- hope that's always around! I loved the ambiance in here, it's upbeat, you can tell the bartenders have regulars and are friendly to chat with, and overall feels like it's a fun spot, even just walking inside. I came solo for a nightcap after dinner and was able to walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Service was just two bartenders for the whole place (which was about 3/4 full), but they were both pretty quick in providing me a menu. The menu is pretty large - almost 4-5 pages purely of cocktails, but also a few options for wine, beer, NA and extremely light bites food (wouldn't plan on having a full meal here.) I opted for two drinks off their signature cocktails list: Dolce Inverno (pistachio liqueur, vodka) and the Smoke n' Cider (apple brandy, cinnamon, smoke). Both drinks were pretty enjoyable, particularly the Smoke n' Cider which had a nice presentation to smoke the drink and also just great flavor. I do think these seem on par with other cocktail spots in east, but maybe not my top tier craft cocktail spots overall for Nashville. Service was super friendly and I think I enjoy the vibes here even more than the actual drinks. Having a small private parking lot is a huge plus, because otherwise parking would be a bit difficult as there aren't many options for street parking near here. This would be an awesome spot to catch up with a friend or just people watch solo, and I'm certain to be back!

They do offer a solid whiskey selection but I did find the pricing for a full measure for many of the allocated bottles to be more than elsewhere. But it is within a resort and there is demand for that if you are inclined. I went for the martinis as that is a good indicator if a bar can nail a standard or one that is extra dirty. I was pleased with that result.
