This is my husband's favorite restaurant in Gallatin. He wants to eat here every day. I highly recommend the brisket tacos. They are unlike anything I've ever eaten and I love them. They are Smokey, with a little bit of sweet and spicy flavor. The fried jalapeños on top really makes it. I don't like spicy food at all but these are wonderful. I also really like the catfish. It comes in crispy strips with deliciously seasoned batter. The catfish goes well with the green beans and fries. I also like their potato salad but it isn't for everyone. I think it's a sour cream based potato salad with red skin potatoes, bacon bits, and a little ranch seasoning. read more

We stopped at the new Edleys in Gallatin. My wife got the bbq and I got the brisket. Her bbq was good but don't waste your money on the brisket. I got 2 real thin pieces that had absolutely no flavor. Plus they had some kind of sauce on it that I scraped off. Brisket does need any sauce if it's cooked right. The slaw is awful, it was real tangy and sour tasting. When you pay that much for a plate of brisket you'd hope it was tasty. Not recommended read more

I really hate to write this up, but bad food backed up by bad service after spending $130 and even tipping has to be addressed. I received the brisket shown below on my brisket platter. It was tasteless, chewy, tough, fat wasn't broken down, and flat out rubbery. My daughter's brisket sandwich was the same. I brought this to the attention of the manager who proceeded to tell me I didn't know good brisket. She even asked where I was from, like that had anything to do with being served bad brisket. I have smoked briskets for over 10 yrs, and if it's over an actual wood fire you would have a smoke ring and the fat and collagen would be completely broken down. I said maybe this was a bad batch or wasn't cooked right, and she proceeded to keep repeating how it was smoked for 12 hrs. No way this was smoked for 12 hours and the fat didn't break down. I can list a number of ways a brisket can turn out like this, but I've eaten brisket in TX, NC, St. Louis, Kansas City, and countless other places and this was the worst brisket ever. The manager's poor response didn't make it any better, she brought me a 2nd plate of the same sorry brisket. I refused both and ended up with the pulled pork which was way better. The customer behind us even came up after and said her brisket was bad too and that it's not normally like that, and also couldn't believe how the manager responded. Lucky me I guess. Everything else we ordered was great, but bad brisket and a manager's bad attitude earned this 1 star review. I posted a photo of what a brisket should look like. That was done over oak, mesquite, and hickory using TX fast competition style, and yes mine is way better than what I was served tonight. read more

See all

The food was delicious!!! If you're craving Southern BBQ, --this is the place! From the moment you walk in, you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of slow-smoked meats. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. I tried the brisket and sausage, and both were delicious with that perfect smoky flavor. The BBQ sauce had the right balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. The sides were just as impressive--creamy mac & cheese, greens beans, and cornbread. Service was friendly and fast, and the portions were generous. Shoutout to Madison and Christian for the friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Had take out. One of the best BBQ briskets I have had. The sauce was amazing. Mac and cheese was yummy

So far, not impressed. Yet another overhyped bar with sub-par food. We ordered the bbq chicken nachos and stopped there because of our experience. The chicken was cold and chewy. The chips were fried potato wedges and not actual nacho chips that you'd expect, which made the whole flavor just weird. There was barely any bbq sauce and it was drizzled on before the cheese and other toppings so you couldn't taste it. The coleslaw is vinegar based, which is fine, but it was swimming in vinegar which immediately brought a horde of flies that landed in it. I seriously think one of them was wearing armor and planted a flag claiming their territory. The potato salad was good but we had to scarf it down before the fly king landed and claimed that also. I guess we win that round! Staff seems under trained and confused about how their system works. Many of them were standing around watching others work. Well try it again someday, perhaps in the winter when the windows are closed. But for now, not impressed. read more

My wife and I go to their Sylvan Park location often and I've left several 5 star reviews. I realize this one hasn't been open very long, but neither had the one at Sylvan Park the first time there. This location needs some serious work, and reading other reviews, apparently I'm not alone. A friend of mine who lives in Gallatin wanted me to come up and meet him there for lunch today. I ordered burnt ends (brisket), baked beans, mac & cheese, and a beverage (the burnt ends are supposed to be on grits, but they were out of grits so I was asked to choose another side). My guest ordered the half chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and a drink. When we sat down, I realized the gentleman that took our order never gave me a glass for my beverage. When the food arrived, we both said, near simultaneously, the baked beans are cold! Unlike the Sylvan Park location, where you're given a cellophane wrapped knife, fork, and spoon, here they bring you a fork. My guest commented, how am I supposed to eat this half chicken with a flimsy plastic pork? I went to the kitchen area and asked one of the employees to let the kitchen know the beans are coming out cold. She was very nice about it, and asked if I would like something else. I told her I'd like some hot baked beans. Apparently that wasn't an option, so I chose another side. The worst part of the meal, and good reason I should probably leave a 1 star review vs. 2, was the burnt ends. They were cut into tiny cubes, and half of them were 100% fat. Inedible. Beautiful facility, and while I go up there and have lunch with my buddy often, no reason to ever return here, unless they get their ducks in a row. read more

I've been in two times and it's not as busy as when they first opened so that's good. The sides are all good and the brisket / sausage platter is what I order. I actually like the sausage better. The brisket has a little too much fat. I may try something different next time and I'll let you know. read more

No idea why this place only has 3.5 stars. This was the best bbq we've had in Nashville! Brisket, ribs, and mac n cheese were top notch. We've been trying to find a go-to spot since we moved here a year ago and we've finally found it! read more

Was there for lunch two weeks ago. Food is underwhelming. Sat in a booth waiting for our food watching one of the cooks eating on the cook line the entire time we were there. Chewing with his mouth open. Was very disgusting. Manager walked by him several times and didn't seem to care or notice. When you have an open kitchen, your cooks need to know they are being watched. As a restaurant owner, I was blown away. read more

This is my first visit to the new location and I have to say that I hope they figure it out cuz I do want them to be successful. I have to say that I do not like the "wait in line and order your food" format but I'll get over it if everything else is working. A group of 6 of us went to an early dinner and our food almost got to our table before we did, we didn't even have time to order our drinks trying to get the online drink ordering system to work. All in all the food was good, but not "bring our out of town visitors here" Good, but okay good. Service was still very clumsy but I expect they will get that right in short order. The restaurant itself is comfortable and works well, do like the outside area. We've been to 2 other Edley's locations and Franklin was by far the best, food, service and vibe. Wel'll be back but I really want this to be a place I get excited to visit.... Not there yet. read more

food is great as always. My server was Deb, and she's the very best!! I have always enjoyed the experience with quick service too! Bar is where it's at. read more

Ribs were great and the sides were really good. A little disappointed in the brisket though! Portions are a bit small. Bar staff were slooow. Only 7 people including me at the bar and I stood for 5 minutes before helped BUT the cocktails tasted amazing. Cool atmosphere inside. read more

We took our grandson and his girlfriend today for lunch and we had a great meal. They had Nashville Hot Chicken and pulled pork. Great sandwiches, great sides!! Their slaw is incredible. I had the catfish and it was great!! We will definitely be back!! read more

Longest wait was to order - only one register was open for the longest time. After the second register opened, the line moved quickly. The food came out perfect and delicious! Neither the kids nor the adults in our party left anything behind on the plates! Overall, great experience as everything came out quickly and the restaurant was clean. Tables can be a bit hard to get during popular eating times, so keep that in mind if you have a big party. read more

Great food as always! Smoked turkey was tender, moist & flavorable. Pork & sides were delicious! Marsha (our server) was wonderful!

Brocket was Fatty, Pork had too much fat in it, Beans and Potato Salad was good, Bartender was very nice and beer was good .

Great food, good prices. Plenty of seating, nice and clean. Not much interaction with staff but haven't had any bad experiences with them.

Avoid. Half the time their phones don't work. Can't place orders. Wait forever to get food.

My husband and I both being from Texas are always looking for the perfect Bisket and fall off the bone ribs. So we decided to try things out tonight and we're sadly disappointed. The ribs were dry and hard to get off the bone. The brisket was not what we were expecting. Totally disappointed. Our meal was 60 dollars You would think we would have gotten our money's worth from all the chatter. Maybe a bad night I am not sure. Also not sure we will return. read more

this place is absolutely amazing! the food is delicious we tried the brisket tacos, hot chicken, and catfish.. absolute perfection. the manager Kyle is what brings this place to the next level he was friendly and attentive. the restaurant is clean and has a great vibe. all in all great family dinner thanks guys! read more

Went to Edley's New Years Eve to celebrate my birthday. Arrived at 6:30 and was told they had no BBQ anything and they were also out of banana pudding. That's like Chick Fila being out of chicken. We had a party of 6 so others arrived prior to our arrival and already ordered so we couldn't go somewhere else. Then when we did order it took 45 minutes for us to get our food. Other people in our party were done eating before we got our food. Very disappointed, I was really looking forward to trying it. read more

Food was amazing! Wish I could say the same about the people working there. Absolutely no social or spatial awareness. Three different people ran into me and had no remorse. Even spilled brown soda on my white sweatshirt!! I asked for Togo containers and the man acted as if I was tasking him with something impossible. I love Edley's but I will not be back to this location unless they get new employees. read more

I'm sad to give it this review but look forward to updating soon hopefully. I have loved Edley's for years in 12 South and Sylvan Park. I've been so excited for this one to open. The patio is amazing and overall a cool spot. We've gotten Edleys twice from this location in the last two weeks, once in person and once via DoorDash. Food has been great both times, bar staff was great. The weird thing that has kind of ruined it is that I've ordered banana pudding both times and both times it has had pieces of raw onion in it. There is no way this can be intentional and I am so confused how it's happened twice. Not sure if it's a situation of them using the same spoon between dishes but I'm curious if others have experienced this. read more

Out of ribs. Out of sweet tea. Girl at the cash register was rude. Food they did have was good. Wait was pretty long but in fairness it was Saturday evening. read more

The staff are friendly, but the food was cold. Won't be coming back due to being served cold food.

Nice setting but not as good as other Edley locations. Took long time for food to get the table and they were not that busy. The grits sadly were a poor version of those at other locations. The shredded pork had lots of gristle- wondered if it was just chopped, New place - hope they get better. read more

Great food, great service, great vibe... the brisket is amazing!!! All the staff we encountered were super courteous and attentive to our needs. 10 out of 10 recommend read more

I never do Yelp reviews, but felt compelled to today. I've lived in Hendersonville for 10 years, and was super excited when I learned Edley's was opening here. I went tonight for a couple beers and bbq at the bar. My experience was awful. Understaffed, slow kitchen, unattentiveness. I left after waiting an hour for my order. It was then delivered to the wrong customer, and sat for another 30 mins before I refused it, and checked out. Great potential, but y'all gotta get your act together in order to be successful. read more

Waited 20 minutes in line to find out at 6:30 pm they were already out of ribs, brisket, burnt ends, and nashville pork. I could have worked my way through to see the sold out prior to waiting, shame on me for that. Took 50 minutes to deliver what we could order on the menu only for it to come out cold. I know they are new, but they did better opening day when I expected all the cold food. I would skip it for now and try it again in 6 months when they get their staff up to par, and the manager learns how much food to make daily read more

So happy Edley's is now in Gallatin! We came for lunch, line was long but moved quickly. Even though it was busy, we didn't wait very long for our food. I had the fried catfish sandwich and it was delicious. The breading was light and had great flavor. I like vinegar base coleslaw, which they put on the sandwich, so it was a 10/10 for me. Husband had the burnt ends. This is his favorite. Grits & green beans are our fav's as well. There were plenty of tables but we also saw a lot with empty plates still needing to be cleared. We sat outside and like the putting green. read more

Was already an Edleys fan so really glad they are now in Gallatin. My favorite is the burnt ends. Went to Gallatin for first time today and they are clearly working through some new opening hiccups but none that were really bad just a little slow. They opened all the doors so the flys were a bit of a nuisance. Overall another great Edleys experience. read more

wonderful staff and great food not just BBQ sandwiches. look at the line at the door to see proof that the experience is a positive one
