Nate SFebruary 21, 2015One of the best bbq spots I've ever been to. If you're not in the mood to try the dry ribs (that everyone raves about), go with the bbq sammich. Pair it with a super-local brew: Yazoo or Jackelope.
- Bin YangApril 12, 2016Definitely the best BBQ in Nashville - load up on ribs and sides. Save some space for their amazing fruit pies (warning: very hot). Freshen up with a local brown or pale ale.
3 in our party collectively we had dry rubbed ribs, chicken, pork & 6 sided. Everything was delish. The ribs & slaw stood out above all the others. Pitmaster Steve & counter staff are top knotch
Allison SJanuary 10, 2017Good ass BBQ in a hidden part of Nashville. Cafeteria style dining. plan your visit carefully because tables are 1st come 1st serve & you aren't allowed to "hold" them before everyone gets their food
Stacy SmithJuly 20, 2019Mixed experience, son and I had half rack of ribs and loved them! Daughter had the jumbo wings buffalo style and the sauce was unique, smoky and delicious. husband had the pulled pork and it was cold.
Jen MartinJuly 28, 2022This place lacks in ambiance, but you’ll forget about that as soon as you take a bite. Order the smoked green beans. They are perfectly smoked and spiced with bits of pork. We went back for seconds!- Greg SchulzMarch 4, 2023Loved the ribs, and the pulled pork was also very good. The Mac and cheese and bbq beans were also very good. The green beans weren’t my favorite. Would absolutely go back.
Tamie SAugust 1, 2013Saw the owner on bbq pitmasters. I had the wet ribs and my husband had the pulled pork. Everything was very good! Mario was a great bar tender too. The drinks didn't break the bank! We will return.
Sonny ArmstrongDecember 28, 2017Got the half-rack, mac & cheese, fries, and their IPA. All the food was delicious and beer was great. I highly recommend this spot.
Dana MarieFebruary 1, 2016Best ribs in town! Try the dry rub with the smoked green beans and BBQ beans on the side. I can't wait to come back.
- Lesley SmithMay 26, 2016Try the dry rubbed ribs, mac & cheese, potato salad, & green beans! The peach fried pie was delish but an extra $2 for a scoop of ice cream is silly. I would like to try the BBQ nachos next time.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Carey Bringle is one of our all time favorite people in America, and not just because he's one of the country's best pitmasters. Don't make a trip to Nashville without a stop into his BBQ spot.- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Pro tip: Order the Wings, Ribs, and Pulled Pork Nachos and grab a seat at the bar where they have loads of fun drinks and BUSHWACKERS on tap!
- EaterJanuary 6, 2014Award-winning pitmaster Carey Bringle has set up shop in the Gulch, and barbecue aficionados from around Middle Tennessee are flocking to this no-frills temple of pork.
Madhu MAugust 23, 2018Best BBQ in Nashville. Really great chicken and ribs. Worth a visit any time I'm in town.- Michael SimsMay 19, 2017Fresh pork rinds, cream cheese with pepper jelly, rubbed ribs and the coue d' ta, smoked green beans
Cole TJune 18, 2017Dry-rubbed ribs are to die for and the beer list is good (for Tennessee). Nice seating with good outdoor patio. Really really good BBQ.
Larry J. OdomSeptember 8, 2015A great place to go for some outstanding bbq , it's a place you need to try when you are in Nashville or when you are in downtown area
Jody NelsonMarch 7, 2015best dry rub ribs in town. and if you ask Mario to make you a Moonshine Mule and tell him Jody sent you...you're welcome.
Scott BryantOctober 4, 2016The dry rubbed ribs are a real eye opener, please resist the urge to throw sauce on them. Mac n cheese is super creamy and rich.
Steve CavendishMay 31, 2013It's not a surprise that Carey Bringle knows pig, but it exceeded my high expectations. The pulled pork is fantastic, I loved the ribs and you really, really, REALLY need to try the white sauce.
Benton YetmanOctober 25, 2014The dry ribs are amazing, along with an excellent selection of local beer and bourbon. Great BBQ!
Brittany LewisFebruary 27, 2014The ribs were amazing! Was recommended to get dry when I ordered them wet and boy was she right! Also order the Mac and cheese for your side. You won't be disappointed!
Sam BamJanuary 20, 2016My favorite in Nashville - pull pork and dry rub ribs are tasty - Mac and cheese is the best - no complaints with potato salad either
Bruce HumphreyJanuary 1, 2016If you're in Nashville and want ribs, then this is the place to go. Dry rubbed ribs are excellent, so are the smoked green beans.
Tracy CraneAugust 22, 2014The pulled pork was very good - flavorful and not dry. Coleslaw, mac n cheese and fries all good, too. Ribs had too much seasoning, which didn't go all the way thru the meat, & no smokiness at all.
Charles LaddJanuary 16, 2014Good food, great atmosphere. Was there at lunch and it got busy right at noon. Although I didn't imbibe, there is a really nice full bar and large flat screen.
Laura McmillanApril 6, 2016Lunch combo was a great deal! Pulled port sandwich was amazing. Excellent BBQ!
BBQ Pork Plater with Hot BBQ Sauce, baked beans, smoked green beans and a Mayday Redhead beer makes for a great meal. Best BBQ I have ever had!!!
Mike SeilbackDecember 19, 2014The dry rubbed ribs, pulled pork and humongous chicken wings were all tender and delicious. Great stop for bbq
The dry rub ribs are the best in Tennessee, nay, the universe. Smoked mac 'n cheese is phenomenal also.- Jody NelsonFebruary 7, 2015sitting at the bar enjoying a Jackalope Bearwalker and some fresh in house pork rinds. can't beat it.
- Brian HerschaftMay 6, 2014Get the famous dry rub ribs which has incredible bark. Pair it with a side of BBQ beans and mac n cheese. "Cooked slow and served fast!"
Jeff RayvidJuly 11, 2013I'm not a huge BBQ expert but this was the best I've ever had. Make sure to get the dry ribs and shake hands with the owner.
Kevin WozniakAugust 20, 2015Best barbecue in town. The local beer they have on tap pairs phenomenally with the food. Absolutely recommend!
Kellen TerrettAugust 10, 2014I asked what was good, not realizing I was speaking with the owner. He gave me wonderful instructions, and I can say that I've never had better BBQ. Splurge and get a fried pie too!
The Swedish ChefJune 18, 2019Some of the best bbq i have ever had. Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Slaw, Potato Salad, Beans.- Nicholas DionysopoulosAugust 2, 2016Ribs are a must have. For the two sides go for Mac'n'cheese and BBQ beans. You won't be disappointed!
Angela WandahsegaJune 27, 2017Great pork sandwich lunch combo.Tryin Nashville's top BBQ spots! Wow...it just got VERY busy!
This is legit Memphis-style barbecue. The sandwich is one of the few in Nashville that doesn't come out of a crock pot, and it shows in actual flavor.
Brant McQuittyApril 16, 2016The ribs are great but I love the cream cheese with pepper jelly and saltines.
Ed EubanksJune 19, 2015BBQ sandwich is great, as are the dry ribs. Try the chocolate fried pie after supper (w/ice cream).
Tony JuliusJuly 31, 2015They have a scoutmob for free pork rinds. They are not on the menu but you need to get them
Dennis MurrayDecember 18, 2014The wet ribs are fine by barbecue joint standards. The dry rub ribs though are exceptional.
Sara SteigerJune 18, 2015Best bbq in Nashville hands down!! Get the wings dry rubbed with sauce. Unbelievable! Ribs were phenomenal!
Alexander DobernigMarch 23, 2017Wonderful pulled pork, extremely good very creamy mac'n cheese and smoked green beans.

"Never been disappointed at Edley’s whether it is for lunch or dinner. Having the “special” tonight: Peaches on top of the pulled pork sandwich. Awesome!"

"This place was great! Staff was super helpful with suggestions and also with offering samples of all the sauces. You'll need a change of clothes after though because of the smoked goodness. Yummy!"

"Cat fish plate is tasty! The fried skip is crispy and slightly different than other kinds. The tuck burger is really good, runny yolk 🤤"
