About

Barbecue Restaurant
At Edley’s Bar-b-que we treat everyone who walks through the door like an old family friend. We pride ourselves with not taking any shortcuts in the kitchen. Our meats are smoked low and slow using Southern white oak. The sides are made from scratch daily with the same amount of attention. Everything is done with intention, from the food to the service to the music. We strive to serve the best food we can make and prove ourselves a worthy host—one plate at a time. Guest favorites include our brisket, macaroni and cheese, banana pudding, and our famous boozy milkshake, the Bushwacker. We are open lunch and dinner with a full-bar, and we offer catering for weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate lunches, family reunions, and more.

    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. 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.

    Past few times the brisket has not even came close to how much I got for what i ordered. I ordered 1.5 pounds of brisket and it was 6 little thin slices come on you all started out great don't skimp! I have ordered 1lb before and it was way more than what I got yesterday. We love this place but don't wanna feel like i got cheated its certainly not cheap to eat out these days.

    We are visiting from Florida and decided to try some bbq spots. This one had the best reviews. When we got there it was good experience with the cashier. We did carry out once we got back to the hotel the mac and cheese was over cooked. (I had burnt ends with extra brisket. Hubby had the brisket combo with baked beans sausage and Mac and cheese.) Needless to say at 1 am this morning we woke up with diarrhea and throwing up. Been going on ever since. Idk if the food was just not prepared correctly or what but we are so sick right now

    This is one of my favorite places to eat. It is difficult to pick a favorite here, but I often crave their turkey. My husband, who is not a huge turkey fan, loves their turkey as well. We love their beef brisket, pulled pork and chicken, and tacos, pretty much anything you get, you’ll enjoy. All of their sides are tasty too. Their collard greens are very good and their slaw is my new favorite. It is a vinegar based slaw with red onions and a little jalapeño to give it just a little bit of a kick. It is sweet and delicious. The cheese grits are good as are really any of the sides. We also tried the Frito pie yesterday with the beef brisket chili (seasonal), and it was great. The chess pie and fudge pie that we tried yesterday were okay, but we are “dessert connoisseurs“, so we are a bit picky when it comes to sweets. I understand their banana pudding is the best, so will definitely try it next time. The staff is very kind and personable and the atmosphere is relaxed with lots of TVs with all the sports playing. If you have not tried Edley’s, you are missing out!

    I came here for the first time today 2/7/2026. Let me say this, it was worth the drive from Murfreesboro, TN where my hotel is (i drove in from Charlotte, Nc).The smoked wings are probably the best ive had in years. I like heat and it delivered...not just in spice, but also in flavour. The brisket was also good but my portion size could have been bigger for the price. The coleslaw, potatoes salad and baked beans were immaculate. I highly recommend this spot. And it's pretty family friendly as well. The restrooms were also clean and warm. Music and vibe were also part of the great experience. As you can see from my picture, I left no stone unturned,...or better yet, left no plates unemptied. 😂.
