We stopped in for a bite to eat in the area and had great service from Cheyenne who took excellent care of us. We ordered the decadent Texican sandwich and since it was a Friday evening, the all you could eat catfish plate with street corn and baked beans. Everything was just delicious. The street corn was incredibly yummy and the Texican sandwich was amazing with all its flavors. Will definitely come back again! read more

I would give a 3.5 star rating, but since I don't have that option I'm giving it a 3 star. The reason is because they served us dry Brisket. It's unfortunate because we had very good service and the food came out fairly quickly. The staff were friendly and it's a cool BBQ place with an upstairs Bar area. I will say that they Ribs were fall off the bone good. The sides were OK with the best being the Street Corn and Baked Beans. They have covered outdoor seating and free parking. They have starters, Nachos, BBQ plates, Wings, Burgers, Salads, Soups, Catfish, Spuds, Sandwiches and Desserts. I'm going to go back sometime in the future and give them another shot on that Brisket. read more

When people talk about BBQ in Nashville, they usually create a binary - Edley's or Martin's. The Ridge is a reminder that there are other options. We ordered to go, and the process was easy. There's not a lot of parking, but you have street parking if their lot is full. People were kind when I got the order. Love: ribs (moist, seasoned well), pulled pork (moist & flavorful) Like: baked beans, sausage (good flavor), banana pudding Dislike: elote corn (had juice as if stewed; different from my expectations); brisket (not to my liking; disappointed in portion size) read more

Ribs were ok. Sides were nothing special. Brisket was not the best and tough and dry.

The food and service was fast and friendly. I went on a quiet night and the server was very attentive which was great. Her name was Cheyenne. The people that come here are clearly regulars she had people food and order down already. Love seeing a place like this in the heart of Nashville. Would definitely recommend and will return. read more

Ordered the 3-meat plate with brisket, catfish, and pulled pork, along with sides of mac n' cheese, cornbread and fries. Also ordered the banana pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious, but the brisket was definitely my favorite. The portions were generous, enough to feed 2 other people. Would recommend to anyone in the area because of great BBQ food and quick service. Meats (5/5) Sides (4/5) Pudding (5/5) read more

Unique Sandwiches and Solid BBQ! My friend and I visited for lunch on a Monday. I was expecting an old, rundown, hole-in-the wall BBQ joint. Boy, was I wrong. Yes, this is first and foremost a BBQ joint, and they have the trophies on display to prove it. But, The Ridge offers so much more! From its spacious eating areas, to the unique and delicious sandwiches, to the Attic Bar upstairs, to their delicious looking burgers, to their daily Happy Hour. This is a great place to eat and to hang out. I ordered the "Texican" sandwich, and it was delicious. It had warm chopped pork, chicken, brisket, and bacon inside with cheese, onions, jalapeños, and tomatoes. The sandwich was served on perfectly toasted Tuscan Bread with chipotle aioli. It was total comfort food; warm, gooey, tasty, crunchy, and filling. The side of white beans I ordered were also delicious. They were perfectly cooked and the added pork gave them a nice lightly smoked flavor. My friend ordered the "Chicano" Sandwich, and he loved it. It was loaded with lots of chopped brisket and chorizo, served on a pressed French roll with chipotle aioli and pickled jalapeños inside. He added a side of Spicy Slaw and finished everything. He remarked several times about the meal's deliciousness. The Ridge makes 2 homemade sauces; BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce. I loved both. The BBQ sauce was smooth with nice flavor. The Hot Sauce was exactly what you want a hot sauce to be; lots of flavor with a nice bit of burning heat on the back end. Both sauces went well with my sandwich. Apparently, Monday is also Burger Day at the Ridge if you eat upstairs in the Attic. Doing so saves you $2 on any of their burgers. I didn't order one, but I saw several and they looked really good. They're good sized burgers; one couple had cut theirs in half and were sharing it. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cool, and the food definitely seems worth the price charged. They also have Happy Hour every night from 2-7. I can't wait to go back to The Ridge. read more

The all you can eat catfish was amazing and their desserts are just as good! It was also a family friendly as we had our toddler with us.

The BBQ!!!!!! It is exceptional. I ordered the chicken meal that came with 2 sides. The flavor was incredible! It was the perfect portion size. The service was great and she convinced me into desert when I was full. She said I would be disappointed if I left it. The ambiance is warm and inviting. read more

What a great find! I feel like this place belongs on a list of best kept secrets in Nashville. The service was absolutely fantastic, friendly, prompt, and helpful. They are set up like most BBQ joints where you order at the counter, but the woman working at the front asked if I was dining in and told me I could have a seat and she'd be right with me. A nice touch! The food was very good. The pulled pork was tender and smokey, and a little salty (in a good way). Very nice. The sausage was really flavorful and smokey. I really enjoyed the baked beans. The potato salad was good, but to my tastes had a little too much mustard. I would certainly say The Ridge is a little off the beaten path for Nashville, but it is definitely worth a detour. I had a really great lunch here, and look forward to coming back. They also have a bar upstairs, which I'm sure makes for a fun hangout in the evening. read more

We had great service and the food was just as good! Cute place too. Sat on the second floor, and it was nice and cozy.

Where Southern Comfort Meets Modern Dining Southern hospitality isn't dead - it just moved to The Ridge. Staff hit that sweet spot between attentive and hovering, though weekends can get a bit chaotic when the brunch warriors arrive. They know the menu inside out and won't ghost you when you need a refill. Not budget dining, but portions are generous enough to make your wallet hurt less. read more

It's a nice, welcoming place with a great BBQ atmosphere. Unfortunately, it's a converted house so parking is limited. I'll preface this review by the fact I only ate three things. The smoked bologna sandwich looked good, but the was no smoke. Because there was no smoke, it was just a regular fried bologna sandwich. The coleslaw had good texture, but it was bland. It needed to be drained and re-seasoned. The Coca Cola cake was stale from spending too much time in the refrigerator. Only a slight hint of cola flavor was present. It would have benefited from 1) no refrigerator storage, or 2) about 18 seconds in the microwave prior to serving. If they insist on not having fresh cake, Dr Pepper cake would retain flavor in cold storage a little longer. Based on three meh easy dishes, I can't see returning despite excellent, friendly, and competent service. read more

The food was tasty, simple and straightforward. The menu is large. The dessert is great. Easy, hole in the wall.

**Heads up, if you're ordering togo be prepared to be charged a togo fee PER ITEM.** Friendly service. Small on the inside with patio seating. Good luck with parking. You'll most likely end up parking on the street because they may have a total of 4 parking spots. The catfish was pretty good. It was seasoned really well, but it may be a little salty for some. The Mac and cheese needed a tad bit more cheese flavor (still good) and the baked beans were superb. I will definitely be back. read more

First time in. Immediately greeted, seated and watered. The place has a sports bar vibe with TV's all around. Menu has many options and combos. Service was great without doubt. Food was very good, sides appear to be made in house. Stealing the 5th star are the prices. 2 combos, drinking water no apps or dessert was $43 before tip, so a $50+ lunch? Good but expensive. read more

3.5 Service was great, loved the friendly neighborhood vibe. Highly recommend the smoked wings! From Texas, the Ribs were kinda dry but flavor was good. Bbq sauce was great, mild and the hot. Enjoyed the baked beans, but mac n cheese & potato salad were just okay, missed the mark for me. I'd come back for the smoked wings! read more

Did I just find the great hidden gem of 2024?? I've driven past this place many times and never gave it a second thought until my dad reccomended we try it. It's pretty small inside, so I'm hesitant to give away the secret. But dare I say this was the best brisket baked potato I've had outside of Texas. It was giant and so freaking good. A few pieces of brisket were a little too fatty, but overall it was perfect. My husband and dad also loved their meals and we topped it off with their award winning peanut butter pie which was delicious. The menu has tons of options and I will absolutely be back! read more

Never heard of this place before, work got catering from it for a special event. Had carnitas, ribs, chicken (I didn't try this), fried tomatoes, mac and cheese, salad, potato salad, coleslaw, hot sauce, BBQ sauce. Ribs were almost dry and not very flavorful, same with carnitas. Fried tomato was alright, didn't think it was anything special. Potato salad and coleslaw seemed to be unnecessarily sour, salad was fresh, mac and cheese was a bit watered down, could've done with more cheese that actually stuck on the noodles. Really liked the hot sauce, BBQ sauce was okay, nothing special. Overall fine, not very flavorful. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking forward to trying some delicious bbq while on our first visit to Tennessee. The cashier/server was nice and friendly. There wasn't a lot of people when we arrived, maybe because of the weather. The food was something else to say the least. I tried the catfish platter and the catfish was so over seasoned I couldn't eat more than a piece or two. My boyfriend ordered the ribs plate and also was disappointed by the overcooked rib pieces. The sides were okay but we didn't have much appetite to eat the rest. read more

Wow, this place was great! My daughter and I shared their Jumbo Platter which came with the choice of five meats. The sausage was the best BBQ sausage I've had and the brisket and pork were also very good. The lady that served our table did a great job. Their Heath Bar pie was also very good. I was disappointed that they were out of peanut butter pie as that also sounded very good. read more

I found this place on Yelp when doing a search for catfish in my area. It's really hard to miss if you fly down Charlotte like me. There isn't much parking so I'll try to grab a space on the street next time. Inside there was a never ending SiriusXM error message playing over their loudspeakers. That was pretty irritating but the inside was cool. Their upstairs bar area looks like a cool place to grab a drink and watch the game. I ordered over the phone and went to pick it up. My name was spelled wrong on the ticket even though I spelled it out -_- and the fish was in nugget form not filets. There was way more breading than actual fish which was disappointing. Fries were sort of soggy but edible. Everyone eating inside was head first into their plates so I'm assuming it was just me with the just ok experience. If I return I'll try the BBQ! read more

I discovered this place via yelp. The building is off of Charlotte and is not easily seen from Charlotte. So you really need to know where it is to find it. Thankfully we have a little computer in our pockets to help us :) The parking is easy if you get a spot out front but you can park on 54th easily if all the spots are taken. They have a funny mural when you walk up and it's funny I had no idea they had catfish, I thought it was just barbecue. I got a "BBQ Plate" - the name of which could be confusing for some. You choose what meat you want. between pork, brisket, smoked chicken, or smoked sausage. I got the pulled pork with tater tots and white beans. The sides were excellent. I had enough room for dessert so I indulged in a "peanut butter pie" which was like a cold sundae and not a slice of pie like you'd expect so bear that in mind if you order it. All delicious. Friendly staff and hard working cooks. Stop on in or order delivery and give them a try. read more

Pleasantly surprised! This review is for the Attic bar above Ridge. Met a friend here one day for happy hour earlier this month. a) has a parking lot! And if full, decently easy street parking. b) staff is great! All wearing masks. All kind. The bartender upstairs whose name I cannot recall... was FANTASTIC! She was fun to talk to, engaging and attentive. c) the nachos. Order the nachos! Perfectly spiced, good ratio of topping to chip and plenty for two people to share over a drink. d) the space. It's casual, basic, your normal neighborhood bar. But it's clean and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back! read more
