    For a Thursday this place was packed! For me, this place was better than Martins. Inside is pretty big with a lot of tables. They have outdoor seating as well but its too hot today for all that nonsense. Lol. You order your food inside then pick a table. It is really affordable bbq in Nashville. I feel like in California youd be paying double unless you go on certain days for specials. I got half rack of ribs and deep fried ribs with potatoe salad and cole slaw. I also got a banana pudding. Now, for the ribs. I thought it was a big portion for 20$ and it comes with 2 sides. The rub on these ribs was pretty good but i found that its a bit dry. You get the sauce on the counters or near the soda machines. I got their sauce that was HOT by the cashier. This sauce had 0 spice, but it tasted excellent. For sure, the BBQ sauce here is better than Martins. The fried ribs had some sort of creamy white sauce lightly lathered onto the ribs. I actually enjoyed these. For me, this day, i liked the Cole slaw the best. The banana pudding was also good. I think this place hit me the most for Nashville. Its a good vibe with "better than most" food. Id come again for sure.

    Orders are placed at the counter and food comes out fast! I ordered the half rack of ribs with 2 sides for $21.95. The ribs and mac n cheese were good. I was hoping for a little more flavor from the baked beans.

    I stopped by Peg Leg Porker after reading all the hype about their pulled pork sandwich, but I actually had my heart set on brisket. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find out they don't serve brisket at all, and since I arrived at 4:00 PM, they were completely sold out of ribs until 5:00 PM. Not wanting to wait around for an hour, I pivoted and ordered the smoked chicken, baked beans, and french fries. Here is how the meal stacked up: * The Smoked Chicken: This was the star of the show. It was incredibly good, and I'm pretty sure they gave me a generous half-chicken. Not sure what type of seasoning they use but it's a pretty good dry rub. For a total of $20 for the whole meal, I think the portion made it worth the price. * The Sauces: I paired the chicken with their hot barbecue sauce, and it definitely has a real kick to it! I absolutely loved it, but if you aren't big on heat, they do have a mild option available. * The Baked Beans: Very flavorful and loaded with real chunks of bacon. Word of warning: they serve them piping hot. They were probably boiling when they went into the Styrofoam cup, and I almost burnt my tongue lol. I had to let them cool down for at least 10 minutes before diving in, but they were worth the wait. * The French Fries: The weakest link of the meal. You can definitely tell they aren't homemade - they seem like standard frozen fries that are just deep-fried and tossed with some salt. The Takeaway: If you're looking for a traditional BBQ joint with a massive variety of sides, sausage, and brisket, you might find the menu a bit limited. The variety isn't massive, but what they do do, they do well.

    Got a chance to try ribs in Nashville and mann... now I totally see why they were voted some of the best ribs in Nashville because WOW they were delicious The ribs were super flavorful, tender, and honestly a half rack was more than enough to share with someone else... unless you're really trying to food coma yourself The BBQ beans were sooo good and the green beans were surprisingly delicious too. Everything paired perfectly together. The whole place is such a vibe! I loved how open and spacious it was. There's seating inside, outside, and even another floor with more tables, so it definitely feels like the perfect spot for big groups, friends, or family hangouts. I didn't get a chance to try their alcoholic drinks this time, but honestly I'm just happy I got to experience this place while visiting Nashville The service was quick, easy, and everyone was super kind. The southern hospitality here is seriously A1 Thank you Peg Leg Porker for such a great experience! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town

    When we want Ribs but don't have time to make them ourselves, we head to Peg Leg Porker!! Everything there is top notch & we've never been disappointed.

    Very solid choice for bbq. Wanted to check out a Nashville popular BBQ spot and found this on Yelp. Got the sampler to share with my friends. Wasn't omg the best I've ever had but super solid. And it was fast so that is a bonus

    Combo
    Kayla Y.

    We could not believe that this place was being ranked as one of top BBQ spots in Nashville. We ordered the combo, which came with 4 different meats and the price was not bad. However, The meat was dry and bland, the dry rub was also meh. Coming in we understood it was a family run business and we would love to support but there wasn't even any service. We picked up our own food, got our own drinks and cleaned up after ourselves. So really unsure what we're tipping for to be honest. The sides were the only savor of this place.

    Got the half rack of ribs with green beans and mac n cheese. The ribs were very meaty, with a great dry rub. The rub was a hint sweet and great flavor by itself, though I did use some of the mild sauce as well. The sides were both delicious, and overall it was a lot of food. I could've done with a 1/3rd rack. The staff was friendly and the walls had lot of awards they've won.

    Service was good and the food came out pretty quick. The ribs were alright and same with the wings. I just felt like it was a little dry and you need to eat it the bbq sauce the entire time. The place looks like it gets pretty busy and can be loud at times.

    I would guess this may be the best BBQ in Nashville! We ordered at the counter and then find a seat, and there is an outdoor patio too. There is a couple of parking spot available and we were lucky to snag one! Otherwise street parking is available. What we ordered: + Pork rinds - very crunchy, nice and light, good seasoning. Dip it in the mac & cheese and its perfection. + Full rack dry rubbed ribs - the center was good tasty! A nice dry rub, and was juicy. The ends were a little dry but that's expected. + Jalapeno cheddar sausage - delicious taste and good texture, slightly juicy. + Smoked Green Beans - was OK, had a good taste and are on the softer side + Mac and cheese - very creamy and more smooth. I liked the shell pasta shape here too! + BBQ beans - strong BBQ flavor, also on the softer side + Special was the fried pork ribs - I would stick to the dry rubbed personally. Overall a tasty meal and plenty to share with 4 people!

    1/2 rack dry rub ribs. Pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, baked beans, Mac n Cheese, French fries
    Lisa S.

    You order at the counter and wait for your name to be called, which doesn't take long. We had a pulled pork sandwich with was juicy and tender. The ribs are the dry rub and the seasoning hit all the taste buds. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. Difference of opinions on the Mac and Cheese, I felt it was to liquid and my husband said they were perfect and cheesy. We both agreed on the backed beans and coleslaw are a must order.

    Ribs, Mac, beans, puddin, chicharron and jalapeño jam + cheese
    Eunice P.

    This was pretty good! The line can be long but goes quickly and food was pretty quick. You put in your order first then pick up, so no real waiting. Staff was nice and helpful w/ questions. Seating can be a pain b/c it's smaller and in a tourist city so people will claim seating before they get their food. Indoor and patio seating. Hard to get around the space due to limited footprint and trying to pack in as much table and seating as possible. Thankfully food comes out so fast there's a good turn over flow I think. I remember the ribs bein great, max sorta on the plain side, beans were good I recommend. I enjoyed the jelly and cheese app. The chicharron's weren't my type so it was a miss for me. Pudding was ok.

    We came to Peg Leg Porker to dry their Memphis style ribs we heard lots about. When you step in you see all the trophies and awards they have won for their bbq. We ordered a half rack of ribs and a peach fried pie. The ribs were solid and the meat was fell off the bone with each bite or when pulling the individual ribs off the rack of ribs. The ribs weren't very tender which may have been due to the cut we got or maybe most of the fat was trimmed off during prep. Memphis style bbq uses a dry rub rather than wet. The rub at Peg Leg Porker was decent, but during our trip we tried another bbq restaurant called Martin's whose dry rub I prefer. The peach fried pie was solid, it reminded us of a toaster strudel. The service was quick as we got our food very fast. There is a lot of indoor seating and a good amount of outdoor seating as well. The noise level was moderate, which allows you to have a conversation with your party without having to yell. I would consider coming back the next time I'm in town to try some of their other offerings.

    Is there parking? What's been tricky about visiting Nashville has been parking or lack thereof.

    Yes. There is a public lot maybe 500 feet away where you can scan the QR code on the walls and pay by mobile phone

    Are all the ribs dry rub, or do they wet as well?

    They are only dry rub. There is a very good sauce available on the table. But they only cook with the rub. I knocked some of the rub off and put some of the table sauce on… 

    I'm guessing my the menu they don't serve brisket do they?

    No, but they do at the sister restaurant. Bringles Smoking Oasis

    Do you serve any alcohol?

    Yes there's a bar. You stand in line to order food and you go back when your number is called. The bar is separate

    Can you do reservations or is it first come first serve?

    First come first serve. The line goes pretty quickly.

    Do you have any vegetarian options besides French fries?

    Vegetarian yes- mac n cheese, potato salad, etc. Not vegan

    Is there a line? How early do you need to get there?

    The line moves quickly even when it's out the door. Lunch time is busy.

    Do you have a Combo plate of ribs and say pulled pork? Thanks.

    Ee don't per say but my cashiers can put one together for you.

    Do you have a patio which would allow dogs?

    Yes

    Is there a gluten free menu?

    The majority of our items are Glueten free.

    Is there a wine menu?

    We have some boxed wines and then a Hogwash rose.

I had the brisket and pork tacos, both delicious. The brisket taco was especially delicious. It's fast-casual. You order at the front and they give you a number. Service was ok, not much table service, but that's perfectly fine for a lunch vibe. I'd stop by here again if I was in the neighborhood.

    Nashville may quietly be an underrated barbecue mecca. You've got the Jack Cawthon's legendary…read moreJack's Bar-B-Que, pitmaster Carey Bringle's incomparable Bringle's Smokin' Oasis, and then you have Edley's. For the longest time, Bringle's was my absolute favorite in town, but Edley's may have just managed to take the crown. I almost feel like I'm cheating on Mr. Bringle by saying that, but as he famously put it, "You don't have to hate somebody else's barbecue to like mine." My default order at any top-tier joint is either a brisket plate or a multi-meat combo platter with brisket as the anchor. Edley's plates come properly equipped with two sides and a slice of cornbread. Where they really set themselves apart, though, is the menu flexibility: -The Add-Ons: You can throw on a $5 upcharge to add an extra 3 oz of meat or a jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage. -Burnt Ends: Edley's offers burnt ends, which is a bit of a rarity in town and something you don't easily find over at Jack's or Bringle's. If they're available when you order, grab them. Price-wise, Edley's isn't cheap, but it's far from overly expensive. It sits at fair market value, costing roughly what you'd pay for a comparable meal at any of the other major players in Nashville. The meats are high quality, wonderfully smoked, and packed with deep flavor. Beyond the rare burnt ends, the sauces here are what truly elevate the meal. Across the board, Edley's house sauces--from their classic red to their white sauce--are probably my personal favorites in the city. Between Jack's, Bringle's Smokin' Oasis, and Edley's, you genuinely cannot go wrong--Nashville barbecue is in great hands. But right now? Edley's holds my top spot. It is my ultimate "treat yourself" meal in town.

    I found myself over at Bellevue for dinner, 2 hours before my hockey game. I wanted quality food…read morebut not super carb heavy but also not something that could potentially wreck my stomach. After all, can you imagine having digestive problems while playing hockey? I love barbecue so I thought I'd try this place. I walked in and it wasn't at all busy at 5:32. However when I finished my order, the line was out the door. I asked the cashier what was good and the manager (maybe owner) walked over and I asked him. I wanted ribs or brisket, but needed a 2nd opinion. He said he would choose brisket because theirs is USDA Prime and he would put it against any other barbecue restaurant in Tennessee. Those are some bold words. So I ordered the brisket platter (fatty portion) with green beans and cinnamon baked apples. What I received was 3 good sized portions (1/2 pound) of fatty brisket. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth without an overbearing amount of fat clumped together. The bark was salty and very peppery. It was actually good enough to eat without a sauce. Speaking of, there was only one sauce on the table, so I used that. It was a sweet sauce, definitely honey-based but not overly sweet like other honey-based sauces I've had in the past. The thing is I love everything honey-related, so I would definitely buy this to take home. It was so good, I was scavenging for brisket fibers on my plate. So I praised the brisket but I think the shocker was the green beans. These were hands down, the best green beans I've ever had...ever. Salty, tender, peppery, with chunks of meat and fat, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Who would have thought that a side could be that good? Last but not least, the Cinnamon Baked Apples. I love baked/fried apples. Something about the tart and sweetness brings me back every time. The apples were soft, but not mushy. I would have liked them to be a little more tender and more slices of apples. I think there was more sauce than apples but nevertheless, they were great. Overall I'm glad I visited Honeyfire for the first time. I'm here often (near Bellevue) so I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

I put them to the real test with a brisket plate on my first visit. They have better brisket than I can find in Memphis unfortunately. The trim was unique and I do not care for sauce on brisket (my fault for not reading), but this was some good BBQ. It's a typical setup for BBQ. You order at the counter, grab your drinks, find a table, and wait for the feast to arrive. They have all of the usual suspects. Brisket, pulled pork, ribs, burnt ends, turkey, and they have another menu with something they call "Nashville Style BBQ". I bet it's spicy, what ya wanna bet? I'll have to try that next time. I'll come back. I am curious now. I wonder if their sausage is any good. I guess I have to know now. See you next time, Edley's. '26 - 110

Parking was super easy, and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean, and the restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of tables and room to spread out, which is always appreciated when dining with little kids. My kids played outside while we waited for our food, but the food came out quickly. The kids' meals are some of the best values in town. One tip: the bun on the kids' cheeseburger is huge compared to the patty. I asked if they could add an extra patty, and they did for just $1. After removing some of the bun, it made for a much better burger and still kept the meal incredibly affordable. The spicy chicken tacos are also some of the best tacos in town. Our family of five ate for about $50. We usually buy Edley's gift cards at Costco, so our actual cost was closer to $40. It's refreshing to have a restaurant in Nashville that truly welcomes families while still serving great food. Highly recommend for anyone dining with kids.
