I really enjoy their bbq and the sides are equally amazing. Tender, off the bone, good sauce good bread just overall a delicious experience each and every time.

i had edley's for my birthday last year, kinda sad that they don't have the shrimp tacos anymore but the food is very good !

The food is really good. Before even entering the building you can smell the delicious food. The sides are delicious and ever meal comes with a free side of cornbread which is to die for that's how good it is. I enjoy the 1/2 pound of ribs or 1 pound of ribs. The staff is very friendly and always has a smile on their faces.

My wife and I are weekly patrons. It's a ritual we look forward to sometimes more than once a week. While everything on the menu is really good, our favorite is the brisket tacos and their famous banana pudding. A nice bar and good local beer selections top of a nice evening out. Thank you for coming to Lexington.

Edley's is the best - especially the turkey! I like to eat healthy and there are plenty of delicious options for me at Edley's ... and sometimes I just have to treat myself to the pulled pork nachos - best ever!!

I met some friends for lunch at Edley's. They both love it, I had never been. I ordered the pulled pork tacos and they were so good. I ordered two because I don't eat that much but I wished for another one. Service was good as well. Went back today and ordered three tacos and fried banana pudding, perfect amount to share. Yum! They have a bar area and fully stocked bar.

I came here as an out of towner for the first time. Upon entering the restaurant you can smell the smoky barbecue. A cozy atmosphere with good music. I ordered the brisket platter with a side of green beans and Mac and cheese. Also got the tequila mule. The customer service was excellent, my server was attentive and provided helpful suggestion. Would come here again next time I'm in town!!

WOW! Being from a family that knows BBQ, have competed in BBQ contest and had a Restaurant in SC. This was some of the best food I've had. And I'm picky!!!!

The brisket tacos at one of the Nashville locations changed my life. So I had high hopes. Sadly I was disappointed. Although good they were nowhere near the Nashville quality. But I'd go back!

Lunchtime at Edley's and even with a full restaurant food came out quickly, hot and delicious. Very casual atmosphere. I had the brisket platter, would definitely order again. 5 stars because it's the first time I've tried grits I liked. Around 10-15$ on average per entree plus drinks.
I love the down to Earth good food fixin’s found at Edley’s. Make sure you go on a night when Zach works because his passion for elevated taste really shines through in every bite! Edley’s is a cool and comfortable place for friends to gather and surround themselves with good food, good drinks, and good company!

My first time visiting Kentucky and I am NOT disappointed! I had the shrimp tacos, fries and grits casserole and everything was DELICIOUS

Edley's has some tough competition when it comes to BBQ in Lexington. I never thought to try it until I had a coupon on Postmates and it was one of the few options that sounded good. So I ordered the 1/2-chicken platter. I chose bean salad and coleslaw as my sides. I got potato salad and coleslaw when I opened the box, but the potato salad was delicious so I didn't really mind that it was the wrong thing. They also included a "plug" (whatever that means?) of slaw, pickles, and two sauces. I enjoyed the meal. The chicken was smoky and the sides were tasty. Then, I decided to order the same thing again the next day (I had another coupon). It was still good, but they didn't include the "plug of slaw" and pickles or the sauces this time. Consistency is really a big deal to me (especially since it was on the menu that it was included) so I was kind of disappointed with my second visit but I still enjoyed the chicken and would probably order it again. I would just make sure to check the box before leaving the restaurant with my order next time. Overall I still prefer Blue Door Smokehouse or City BBQ when I'm craving it, but Edley's is tasty too when on that side of town.

So recently I went to Edly's. I had the Burned Ends with beans, and grits. Yum. And it does fill you up. When they brought my platter out, the Ends were there and a plastic cup of the beans and the same for the grits along with a huge slice of cornbread. All will fill you with great tastes and their richness. You will be full and happy. Cool atmosphere also.

This is good BBQ, not just for Lexington but it's true southern BBQ. I could spend a weeks worth of calories on just the sides (BBQ BAKED BEANS, green beans, corn pudding, jalapeño cornbread, and all the things). My favorite is the Dinner Burnt Ends Platter. On Wednesdays they have Bingo for free and $5 Bushwhackers. We took our work group and we had a absolute blast. I highly recommend it! You don't find great BBQ in LEX very often but this definitely earned that title. Service is not a place to go sit down and get served because you walk up and order. I think they are trying to start table service but it isn't great.. yet!
