37 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Brentwood

“First time enjoying Judge Bean’s barbecue! I had the smoked meatloaf and green beans. Talk about amazing food! And from the time I walked in the door to grab my food, I was greeted with big smiles and friendly faces.🥰 I will definitely be back!“

“Their Food is sooo good!!“

“New to TN and first time at Dickey's BBQ Pit in Brentwood. Had excellent service today (6/18/25). Staff was friendly and helpful and food was very tasty. We'll be back when we're in the area.“

“Amazing food! I got the short rib lunch special and since it was my first time in she also brought me a sampler of their sides; kimchi, apple salad, bean sprouts, seaweed salad and some type of fish skin. Can not say enough about how good the beef short rib, Korean fried chicken and fried rice were. Service was amazing as well! Highly recommended!“

“For a little counter service in a 7 eleven, Raise the Roost is pretty good and inexpensive. Mostly fried foods, but the tenders are pretty tasty.

They close early, usually done by 8 o clock. But still surprisingly fresher then some more expensive chicken places.

You order your food and then are free to roam around the 7 eleven. Then they ring it all up in one order.

There are even a few tables inside if you need a place to take a break from the road.“

“Friendly staff, and clean! Host seemed
unbothered. 10min wait time for a party of 9 @ 1pm on a saturday.
Lunch sirloin salad was way over cooked. Ordered med-rare, recieved med-well. When offered to re-cook, I declined. Salad was good but French onion soup was perfect. 30 minute meal service time.
Tip 25%.
I have been in hospitality for 2 decades. Attitude out weighs majority of any issues. Server maintained calm, positive, professional and personalable service. She did outstanding!! Wait time and food quality has nothing to do with server.
Ambiance was balanced.
Amazing family time and because of our server, she made our experience so much better.“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!“

The tender pork shoulder, a star on the menu, melts in your mouth, complemented by Jack's Sauce-soaked hoecake. The Brunswick Stew impresses with its rich flavors, featuring butter peas and celery. The potato salad is a tasty side that adds to the culinary delight. The restaurant's fun atmosphere, coupled with both indoor and outdoor seating, creates a welcoming environment.

“Great food and great atmosphere! This will definitely be a go to place when we are down this way!“

“We had lunch here today and met the friendliest people and ate some of THE BEST BBQ I've ever had. We had smoked BBQ Pork sandwich, Smoked brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese, collard greens, fried okra and home made fruit ice tea! They also give you a hand wipe and dental floss. I highly recommend if your ever in the area.“

“While visiting our daughter in Nashville, we spotted Jack Cawthon's Bar-B-Que nearby and decided to give it a try. Mind you, we have been smoking meats on our own for many years, so, going to a BBQ restaurant can be a gamble!

Before I get in to the review, we understand that there are a lot of so-called barbeque restaurants around that, in my mind, have no business calling themselves that. If we walk/drive by and don't smell the smoke, I just keep on moving. Jack's, however...

One final note, before I move on, any restaurant that covers their meat in sauce by default, is hiding something. Period.

We both ordered the brisket. Me, I love both the flat and point, my wife, however, prefers the flat, and, when asked, the gentleman with the knife scraped off the excess fat from the flat for her and asked me if I wanted it. Folks, that's how it's done at a real barbecue/smokehouse restaurant!

Our brisket was perfectly smoked and the side choice were plentiful! She got the cornbread, I got the Texas toast. Except for the bread and the veggie sides, it all looked an tasted like it was made in-house, and it was good!“

“This BBQ joint takes serious pride in their food and it shows!“

“I had a brisket burger with onions and was amazingly delicious! 🤤“

“They say big things come in small packages. This is a little bitty place surrounded by a lot of other little places at the farmers market in Nashville the most juiciest tenderness, meat best barbecue sauce, macaroni and cheese green beans with lots of flavor best sweet tea. I’m so mad I have to go back to St. Louis and won’t be able to continue enjoying this every week. Thank you guys for one of the best lunches I’ve had so far this year.“

“gotta check this place out the food was on point we will definitely be back“

“We spent a long weekend in Nashville and the meal at Drifters was by far the best we had! The smoked wings were so good they didn't need any sauce and the pork was amazing. Great little place and wonderful staff. We're so glad we checked it out!!!“

“I would recommend this food service to all that I meet. I was pleasantly surprised. I receive big meaty fish pieces and generous portions of my side dishes. It was enough for me to make 2 meals out of my order. The beautiful lady was so nice, and we even wished each other a Happy Mother's Day. I came from Opry Mills Mall to Edd Temple Blvd and I'm happy I made the trip. I will be back.“

“Visited twice on a Very Busy Labor Day Weekend - UT Football at Nissan. Great food and entertainment. Really unique structure. We'll definitely be back. Thanks to Alex for the great service !“

“Whitt's BBQ in Ashland City catered my family event and it was great. Thanks Ricky you're the best“

“BarB Cutie is our favorite Nashville area place to eat. we stop by when driving across Tennessee. Friendly people and great food.“

“Gold standard of Brunswick Stew! I just wish it was a year-round thing.“

“We decided on our morning breakfast to try here! It was amazing and the atmosphere and service was amazing…. Amazing menu options and Jams and biscuits. The Bronut was a biscuit stuffed with cheesecake, Fried Green Tomato Wrap and Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelet was just a few menu items of amazing unique meals. We started off with a Biscuit Basket and Bronut (biscuit stuffed with cream cheese filing and deep fried and smothered in a blueberry compote) many assorted jams from mild to spicy. The pepper jams and jelly’s were amazing and flavorful. My wife had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit with potatoes, my daughter had the Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelette, our son had the Daniels Big Breakfast: and I had the bacon breakfast tacos…. All our meals were great and fulfilling. There potato’s and grits were extremely flavorful and perfect sides! I highly recommend and give this place 5 stars for service, quality and food~ Julia the Kitchen manager was amazing and very warm and welcoming! TK our server was extremely accommodating and helpful!“

“Korean is my favorite cuisine. I was delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, the exterior is not inviting. Ambiance inside was very comfortable, very clean. Service was professional. One thing I use to judge ethnic restaurants is how many people of that ethnicity are there. Of the several tables occupied I was the only nonasian diner, so I assume authenticity. I had seafood soft tofu stew. It was delicious. Korean restaurants typically serve banchan side dishes, this served them, each was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience excellent Korean dining. I'll be back!“

“While gas station food has a reputation for being, sometimes sketchy, things are looking up.Raise the Roost has a nice little kitchen inside this 7 eleven. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes are as good as most regular sit down restaurants.While you order from the Roost counter, you will pay at the 7 eleven register from a order receipt. There are a few tables for seating if you are taking a break from the road“

“Placed a large to go order with “Kojo”. Every single item was perfect. Not one missing or wrong thing. Cold stuff separated from hot. Fries separate. Excellent customer service!! He did an amazing job.“

“Simply the very Best Barbecue in Tennessee!!! With so many selections on their menu, it was hard to just pick one dinner!! I had the po-boy Taco that was on cornbread flapjack top with a huge amount of pulled pork seasoned to perfection topped with delicious coleslaw!!! The broccoli salad is the best ever!! Delicious!!!! 😋😋😋😋👏🏻👏🏻“

“Just had a wonder experience with DEREK working on the carry out desk. Funny, personality in abundance and customer service. I got the impression he was still new and learning the job. I can see where he’s going to be a hit with customers and a stand out with management. Good luck Derek, wish you the best and success.“

“I've never been here, but hope to soon, all bc I absolutely love watching Ricky Connelley play his music sets live on tiktok here! He's amazing and I can't wait to get to be in the crowd one day and enjoy some delicious food and drinks while listening to him! 🎶💕“
