    Burritos and Super Tacos
    Matt S.

    Well I must say this is a total upgrade to where this place was 8 years ago. When you go inside the staff is welcoming and the interior is very well taken care of. It reminds me of the 80's diner / mom and pop dinner place you only see in Stranger Things now. Just need a few arcade games and we would be set! Now on to the good stuff. And it is good. I had the Super Tacos and Burrito and walked out feeling full. In the end it was great food and light on the wallet! I'll be back!

    My dad has been coming here since the 90s and has been taking me here for years. With a variety of food options, it's true Tex-Mex. There are Mexican dishes as well as basic American food. The tacos, smiley fries, and cherry coke are my favorite. My dad typically goes for the special of the day. I'd also recommend the super tacos, which are basically the regular tacos but with a deep fried tortilla shell. If you're in the Fairview Heights area stop by!

    Been a staple since the 70s or 80s. My husband went there since high school. Good is good. Only they changed was no refills. You have to buy a whole new soda. I get charging a refill fee but a whole new cup is crazy to me.

    Best restaurant in the entire world. This is where I learned food was amazing. The super mix platter is what I live for.

    I have been twice and enjoyed my food both times. The first time I ordered chicken wings and banana…read morepudding They were smoked and seasoned well. On this occasion I ordered the half chicken platter (which was sold out on my first visit). The service was good on my first visit and even better the second time. The guy behind the counter's friendliness was almost contagious he went through describing the menu with patience and a smile. I enjoyed my food again the second time. I do not have any complaints it was a solid bbq plate I will say I am not the biggest fan of banana pudding, but I enjoyed it here.

    Edley's does not get much attention in STL possibly due to a plethora of BBQ restaurants. However,…read moreit could be favorably compared to a local chain, Sugarfire, that does get much recognition for its meat, variety and well done menu. The holy trinity of local BBQ is brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. Edley's has another local favorite -- pork steaks. It also has smoked turkey, chicken, and ham. I decided to try the chicken sandwich because poultry is more challenging for many wanna be pit masters. It had a distinctive smoke ring and included both white and dark meats for flavor. Served Southern style, it included a dollop of vinegar slaw and dill pickles. The lunch special was a good value and included a side and soft drink. Brisket tacos satisfied a companion.
