    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    The food was very tasty. Quick service and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. The sampler is your best bet. Free soft drink with order.

    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.

    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

    Food was fresh, well seasoned. My Barkeep was great help me in Selecting a great lager, Black Abbey Lager. Atmosphere was a great a relaxing experience.

    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.

    Omg this app needs more stars hands down, this was the most fantastic bbq experience I've ever had. The line was long and out the door, but moved really fast surprisingly. Even with being so crowded, it was still cool inside and the music was not too loud. No matter how many big words I use to describe it, you just have to try it for yourself. One suggestion, you MUST TRY THE PIE WITH THE BANANA FOSTERS GLAZE.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    There are at least four Edley's locations. We ordered from the 12th avenue south location. Full…read moredisclosure, this was takeout for a large office group. I had the brisket tacos, which were flavorful, though a little dry. I am giving grace here because it was takeout and possibly was much more moist prior to transport. I did like how the toppings brightened things up: cheese, slaw, pico de Gallo, bean salad, and fried jalapeños. I also had the Nashville hot link, a smoked sausage with house made spicy pimento cheese and pickled jalapeños. It was indeed pleasantly spicy. We shared some fries, which were hot, crisp, and well seasoned. They also have ribs, wings, bbq nachos and fries, fried pickles, bbq chicken and turkey, various sandwiches and platters. They also offer Nashville's staple hot chicken in platter, sandwich, and taco form. Catfish is another option, in all the same varieties. Sides: cornbread, Mac & cheese, baked beans, green beans (in bone broth and bacon). Cold sides such as bean salad, potato salad, Cole slaw. They also have a couple desserts and salads available, as well as a kids menu. Very affordable, as we got meals for 15 people for only 230 dollars.

    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.

Highly recommend!!! -Ribs and brisket platter: 5/5 Trying brisket in 4 states and 5 different styles I'll say the cuts I was given were well paired with sauce which compliments the brisket, but it honestly doesn't need it.... Collagen that melts as you bite into the fatty part and melt in your mouth tenderness that's just a smokers craft. Ribs were fall off the bone, flavorful, and just well done. BBQ sauce was well paired with it but would like to try some different sauces to complement it differently than the brisket. The potato salad was astounding, but the Cole slaw.... Probably tied for best slaw I had on the trip. Overall, THIS is the place you go for BBQ in TN. There's a ton of reviews for other places, but this is where the locals go. Donelson has a gem with Edley's here. I would venture to say that this location is a perfect spot for trying Tennessee style bbq first hand and loving every bit of it!

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.
