    We loved the patio! So family oriented, relaxing and breezy on a warm day. The sides are great especially the baked beans & grit casserole. Cornbread is distinct & yummy! The ribs are dry & fatty. The chicken breast is very chewy & dry but the leg and thigh was tender and moist. We'd give it another try for brisket & the sides but not the ribs being from Memphis originally! :) Very kind host taking our order and friendly staff.

    This Edley's location has a parking lot with ample parking. There were a few patrons inside early evening. Right after we ordered, there was a constant line of people. Ordered the brisket and pulled pork combo with grits and mac and cheese with a side of corn bread. The brisket had a nice bark and was tender and flavorful. The pulled pork was also tender and went well with the bbq sauce on the table. I really enjoyed the crispy topping on the mac and cheese and the flavor of the grits were amazing. The ribs my family ordered were also tender and delicious. I also got to try the banana pudding for dessert and it was pretty solid. Sweet tea is refillable during the duration of dining in. It was nice that we were checked on as we were such a large group (11 people). Definitely recommend coming to this location and maybe even trying out trivia advertised on Tuesdays.

    Good sauce but rib meat was kind of tough and not fully flavored. The brisket was good but a bit dry. The corn casserole was very tasty

    Tried this place for lunch today. Surprisingly wasn't that busy but that also may be do to the small parking lot. Ordered the food and then went to the bar to order the bushwacker. Came out fairly quickly with good portions for the price. Brisket was fall apart tender to the point you had to use a fork otherwise it would just fall apart in your hands. Everything had good flavor but hands down would come back for the sides and the cornbread alone. Nice atmosphere, inside not over crowded with seating and very clean. The drink was super strong and thick to the point I couldn't even sip it had to scoop it cause to thick for the small straw. Don't think I'd order the drink again though. Would recommend trying out.

    I'm very lucky to travel a lot for my semi-retirement. We were in Nashville for a few hours and I searched Yelp for some of the best recommendations because we wanted to try some Nashville hot chicken! This place started to get busy fast just minutes after the door opened. That was the first of many great signs! Love the interior and tons of seating. The outdoor patio looked like it was enclosed and heated for the winter. The bar looked stocked and ready for us! The staff is super friendly and helped me pick out my grits casserole and recommended the Mac n cheese. That sandwich came and I knew was in for a great lunch. However, I started with the Mac n cheese! Ohhhh my lawd!!! It was PERFECT! The noodles weren't mushy and had the perfect consistency and the cheese amounts was absolutely ! Some of the best I've ever had! The grits casserole was equally good but damn that Mac n cheese was spot on! Then came the sandwich! Just the right amount of heat for me that I enjoyed it. The chicken is huge and extends out all over from the bun, which was a perfect bun too! The sauce in top of the chicken was amazing! I will be back here next trip to Nashville!!!

    First time in Nashville and was near Edley's so I thought I'd give it a shot. I sat at the bar and was well taken care of. After hearing of specials from the bartender I opted for fried ribs with hot BBQ sauce. Now first impression... it's not pretty lol just looks like the ribs were burnt (I do like charring though) However, that first bite... the meat fell off the bone and was so moist and tender on the inside. The flavor just squeezed right out into my tongue and I knew I was wrong for judging its exterior looks! The Mac and cheese I got on the side was also delicious. Just the right amount of cheesy! As far as the interior: I like the set up.. pretty standard restaurant/sports bar with lots of TVs. Didn't seem like it was too loud which was a nice surprise given how many people were in the establishment. Overall a great experience!

    Updated review: I was blown away by the food and hospitality here. I ordered a half slab of ribs with fries and grits casserole on the side and was totally in heaven. The grits casserole was so cheesy and packed with flavor, and the ribs were fall off the bone. The real star was the bbq nachos, which were served on thick crispy potato chips with pulled pork, sauces, and tomatoes. It's a lot of food for the price too! The waitress who brought us our food asked if it was our first time here, and since it was my boyfriend's first time, she brought us a cup of each bbq sauce to try (jalapeño ranch and a white bbq sauce) and a scoop of banana pudding on the house--which was also fantastic. This is going to be our go to spot for bbq from now on.

    Love them all... yummy ...

Seriously, I could eat these every day. Next our entree's arrived: for my wife--a monstrous portion of delightfully breaded haddock and chips that were....uh, just check out the photos. Over the top? Well, over the plate. Holy fish & chips!!! For me - Steak & Ale Pie - a bowlful of tender chunks of beef slow cooked with Pub Ale, mushrooms, bacon, hearty carrots, savory onions and English cheddar with a flaky gold pastry. The pub chips that came with this dish were beyond good....dare I say perfect! And the mushy peas I had a a side were also likely the best I've had. I simply cannot say what the herbs or seasonings were....but they were superb. Ta, mate.

    This Neighbors sits in the large mixed use development in the Aspen Grove/McEwen area of…read moreFranklin/Cool Springs and is a solid addition to the area and to the Neighbors brand! They occupy a great corner in the complex, which is a stellar location and allows for a good sized patio in addition to the dining room and bar area. That patio also makes bringing the pups a lot easier. As with all Neighbors, they are all about sports and with walls and walls of TV's, you cannot miss the game or event you are after! Food and drink here are solid. If you have never been to Neighbors, it is true sports bar food with wings, nachos, burgers, sandwiches, pretzel bites, etc...and a few house specialties, but mostly your standard stuff. And that is not a bad thing, while simple, they do it well and I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Service is friendly and good, but efficient is questionable as they recently introduced a flag based system where you put your number card on your stand and when your server notices it, they come your way. My only issue is this takes the natural check-in's of service away and while the idea is good in theory, execution is still a bit clunky as we had to seek out our server twice after having our card displayed for several minutes. Overall, big fan of the Neighbors brand and really enjoy this location in Frankin!
