I loved this spot! Very "vibe-y" with a huge wrap-around porch and a seat yourself situation. I stopped someone working inside to ask what to do and he said to pick my table (or order) and then I'd get a number and they'd bring it to me. He also said since I was clearly a newbie - to tell them and I'd get a free banana pudding. The gal behind the counter was nice and able to make some recommendations on the menu. It took about 20 minutes to get my food but, when it came out it was delicious and fresh. The pulled pork was perfectly smoked and had some black spots (delish). I chose the baked beans and potato salad as my sides. Potato salad was delicious and the baked beans had some pulled pork inside. The banana pudding was probably some of the best I've had. Bananas were completely fresh and loaded with fresh waifers. A lot of times if they make it in bulk, the waifers are soft and bananas are brownish. Not here, fresh as if they made it to order.... noms! I loved sitting out on the deck at sunset and enjoyed myself quite a bit. They do have tons of seating inside in a more bar atmosphere and had a large area with some playhouses for children. Located in a great shopping center with a bunch of order shops: Coffee shops, Whole Foods, Banks, Puppy Bakery, etc. Plenty of parking in front. read more

We asked someone for a bbq recommendation and was directed here to "the best bbq in Chattanooga". The sausage is phenomenal, the brisket is great, the potato salad is next level, and the chicken is so juicy. The banana pudding was excellent as well. read more

I have to update my review and take away a star. We don't visit Chattanooga often, but on our last trip, 2 years ago, we discovered Edley's BBQ and decided it would be our go-to BBQ spot whenever we're in town. Customer service and atmosphere are still solid, and the presentation of the food was great! Everything looked delicious when it arrived. This time, I decided to try something different and ordered the smoked wings platter with white BBQ sauce, baked beans, and potato salad. Jalapeño Cornbread was added to each meal. Unfortunately, the smoked wings were a letdown. They had a fatty underdone texture that was unappealing. It was almost as if a step was missed in the cooking process. They were just too soft for my liking. Also, I'm not a fan of Jalapeño Cornbread. I prefer my Cornbread without the jalapeños, but I ate most it anyway. For some reason, the Jalapeño Cornbread had a dish soap taste to it. It was weird. On the positive side, the baked beans were flavorful with a nice kick, and the potato salad was just as good as I remembered. Is Edley's still our go-to BBQ spot? Absolutely! Will I order the smoked wings again? Definitely not. read more

The taste food is delicious. The staff is upbeat,friendly, and make you feel that you are appreciated.

Always delicious, fresh, and very popular for get togethers with my family. UNFORTUNATELY they, as of just lately, will not deliver to my home anymore (UberEats) or even through their own Edley's app. I am so disappointed we can't order from them anymore. read more

Excellent BBQ and even better service. We had the Tri-Star Platter (Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket) and Brisket and Sausage Platter with extra serving of Turkey. Got Mac n Cheese, Grits, Coleslaw, Baked Beans as sides. The Turkey, Brisket, and Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage were out of this world. Best BBQ we've had in the Southeast! All sides were equally as good if not better! To top it off, the Banana Pudding was to die for!!! Since it was our first time there, the manager hooked us up with a free banana pudding and an extra side (after asking him for a recommendation). Thank you for the kind service and excellent meal, can't wait to come back!!! read more

Food was delicious (chefs kiss) best bbq in Chatt and an awesome vibe! Service was good too

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the wings. We tried both barbecue and dry run and personally the dry rub gets my vote. Fun sports bar type atmosphere. This place is loud and busy so kiddos will be drowned out but business conversations might as well. Best for casual dining and families. read more

Went there by myself with my dog. Sat outside for a good 10-15 minutes before it was obvious that they don't have servers. Tried to go inside holding my dog in my arms but the guy inside must have been on his cycle or something. He kept repeating that the dog couldn't be inside which I verbally agreed to, but he stated that they don't have servers. He wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise in order to make an order. That's fine bro. Plenty of other places to go. Won't be back again. read more

Good service. Great food. Nice environment. Yay!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!! Great good nice awesome

Edley's Bar-B-Que - Burnt ends on grits casserole , cornbread, and a side of macaroni & cheese and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The place is very skilled in the art of food cookery. It's very sport-bar-ish on the inside, plenty of seating space. We had ribs, pork, and plenty of sides containing beans. All the sides were legendary representations of their respective method, not a dud in the bunch. The best part, though, was the banana pudding. Sweet Christmas, the banana pudding. I thought I have had banana pudding before. It turns out, I've only been trying the understudy to the star. By far, the best BP I've ever had. Try this place if you're in town! read more

My friend and I came here the other day for the first time as we were visiting the area. It's very casual, you order at the counter, pay, then they bring the food to you. We got complimentary banana pudding since it was our first time there. I got the brisket & pulled pork combo w/mac & cheese and baked beans. It comes w/cornbread. The meat portions were massive! I don't know why the pulled pork was shredded so small. It was like someone chewed it already. The brisket was a little dry. The mac & cheese wasn't good. Baked beans had a little spice kick which was good. My friend's ribs were very tender, falling off the bone. About $25-30 for each plate. Good service and friendly staff. read more

We live in Georgia. Our youngest daughter lives in Chattanooga. None of us had ever tried Edley's. We took her there tonight for her birthday. The food is amazing (we love BBQ). If you ever go there, you have to try an original southern dessert. It's called CHESS pie. Trust me it is delicious. Good service and a great atmosphere. read more

Barbecue was ok but the slaw and beans were Canadian recipes. Probably won't go back.

Food was good except for the brisket. They smoke said they smoked for 10-12 hours which could be fine depending on the pounds. I asked at the door whether the brisket was good and the guy told me it was what they were known for. I was hesitant to order it just because brisket is a difficult cook and I haven't had great brisket outside of my home state of Texas. It had to be cut with a knife (which should be a crime) and was clearly just not smoked long enough. Flavor was okay from the rub. My wife, who is from Alabama, also agreed the brisket was bad. I truly hope these kind and humble people of the great state of Tennessee do not truly think this is good brisket. read more

Set in an old "warehouse district" this place did not dissapoint. Place your orders at the counter & then they will bring it out. 4 of us shared a "sampler" with 3 meats & sides. Pulled Pork, Sliced Brisket & chicken. (out of ribs....we came in late) Sides of potato salad(excellent), bean salad(excellent), mac&cheese(excellent) & grits(3/4 of us loved those) (a side of burnt ends was had for dessert) read more

This place hits all the marks. Best BBQ we've had in Chatt, everyone was so very polite and welcoming, it was a great experience. Brisket sandwich is a must have, so tender and hardly any fat, the BBQ sauce is amazing as well. There's a good spot for kids and they have pic nic tables out under the covered patio, plenty of room for big or small parties. I definitely recommended this place and will be back!! read more

I tried to find some authentic yummy barbecue and heard about this place but was a little underwhelmed by the food overall. The atmosphere is very cute, they have a terrace seating area with screening to prevent bugs and heat lamps, very comfortable. Inside the atmosphere is log cabin-y, a little dark but fits the theme. I asked the bartender his favorite dish and he said the brisket tacos. I almost ordered this but asked the girl taking our order if that or the ribs was better and per her recommendation i had the half slab. My friend ordered the brisket tacos and said they were underwhelming, my ribs were also nothing to write home about; not very "fall off the bone" Tennessee bbq expectations. Fried pickles also really disappointing, but the place is cute and my friend liked his brisket platter read more

App is fantastic. So easy to use. Food is so good i- I got the brisket and sausage and green beans and baked beans.

What a great experience from ordering at the window with great customer service to selecting in choosing sides to each meal. You have to try the banana pudding as it almost felt like eating fluff. Top three best banana puddings I've ever had. The food was great. You could smell the barbecue from blocks away. And it just felt like a great barbecue experience great for kids on the outdoors where they have a little kid area to play in tiny houses. Can't wait to go back. read more

10/10 would def recommend. Service was fantastic, food was delicious! and the environment was just overall warm and cozy. staff was very friendly and made you feel welcomed when we walked in (for anyone with high functioning anxiety like myself) read more

Went above and beyond to make sure my order was on time to a work party even added extras to cover any inconvenience

Meager words can't do Edley's ribs justice. Perhaps the best I ever had, they were beautifully smoked and fall-off-the-bone tender. Too tender! A delicious morsel fell off and ruined my shirt! Sauce was delicious and enhanced, rather than detracted from the succulent ribs. I may move to Chattanooga to be closer... I think they owe me a shirt, however. :) read more

I was visiting from out of state and stopped by with my small service dog, asking to be seated outside. What I believe was the manager greeted me with an unfriendly attitude and told me I had to order at the outside bar. I wasn't even allowed to sit at an outdoor table to place my order. As I started walking through to the outside bar, he told me I needed to back out and couldn't take a few steps inside to get there. It felt unnecessarily rude and lacking any basic courtesy--definitely no southern hospitality here. When I finally placed my order, I asked for the brisket and was told they were out. I tried another beef option--also out. I asked if they were out of all beef, and the server said yes, only pork and chicken were available. I settled for a chicken sandwich, which was extremely plain and didn't come with any sides. Between the poor attitude, lack of warmth, and being so understocked, I left disappointed. This place could really use a reminder of what hospitality looks like--and how to be better prepared for customers. read more

Two words. Grits Casserole. I would come back just for that dish, it was so good!! The BBQ was also very delicious but the sides always have my heart. My husband and I stopped in on a Friday night. It was busy but we were able to grab a seat outside. We ordered the burnt ends atop the grits casserole+ banana pudding (& cornbread!) & the brisket sandwich w/ Mac & cheese + grits casserole. We were not disappointed with any of it but seriously could not get enough of the casserole. This is some good bbq! Highly recommend. read more

It was peach week, and when you live in this part of the country, right on the Georgia border for all practical purposes, if it involves peaches in the summer, you give it a try. I chose to sit at the bar to make it easy for me, a good choice as my service was great. I selected the pulled pork sandwich which was complemented by smoked, sliced peaches, what a wonderful complementary flavor to that pulled pork. For my sides I went with the bbq beans, another great choice and the potato salad. I thoroughly enjoyed the smoke and the addition of the kidney bean to the bbq mix. Topped it off with a cold local draft, and I was good to go! read more

I came here for dinner with the Costco gift cards. WOW! And they give a generous military discount. I had the Smoker Sampler. They give an ample portion and all the meat was on point. It did get packed and I didn't have to wonder why! Compared to Smokey Bones, why would people even bother going there? For real! All the sides were delicious as well.

We can't stop thinking about Edley's!!! Such a great spot, we stopped in for lunch (counter serve) and really enjoyed the Hot Chicken Platter (Sides: Cornbread, Fries, Coleslaw) and Pork Sandwich! The hot chicken had a delicious herby sauce on it - it had a great kick and really surprised us! SO good! The cornbread was unique and yummy, the fries were well seasoned, and they even had 2 different BBQ sauces to dip with! The coleslaw was vinegar based, very good! The pulled pork sandwich had yummy bread and the pork was tender and delicious! Loved it. We ate outside on their fun deck - with fans, music, and TVs. read more

After looking for food in the Chattanooga area, we couldn't help but to be directed to Edley's. BBQ was the theme for the night and according to the socials this was the place to be. It has a fast food atmosphere with restaurant quality eats. I fancied a half rack of ribs which definitely hit a couple of spots in the old tummy! And just to let you know that hospitality is their forte, they treated us to a free serving of Banana Pudding. My company (the wife) decided on the Smoked wings. They were very tender and sweet to eat as the ribs were as well. Overall, nice place to eat for a family outing or just two. It has a very versatile atmosphere which warrants local acclaim. Stop by and try if you are looking for a nice barbecue spot. read more

This place absolutely HIT. Their servings are extremely generous and sooo tasty. They were out of cornbread when we went, but they let us get a third side instead, which was a steal. I love that you can get banana pudding as one of your sides! The potato salad is to die for and has giant chunks of bacon in it. I liked the coleslaw as well, but it was a bit oddly sweet for me. The pork was juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. Their barbecue sauce could not be better. Our food came out hot and quick, and seemed like it was reasonably priced for how much food we got. Even though the sides look petite, they pack a lot into those little cups. There was ample seating both inside and outside. I left stuffed and happy! I definitely recommend this place - 10/10!! read more
