50 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!!“

“I had the Shrimp Dolsot (hot stone bibimbap). It was authentic and delicious. It came with miso soup, the
Korean five sides and rice. I was interested in both so was delighted they were served as part of the meal. The staff was very friendly and attentive. 5 stars ⭐ across the board for me!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I got a filet medium, bowl of potato soup and salad.
The steak was the best ive ever had. I usually get a ribeye med well but I thought I'd try a Filet and wow it was perfect. My waitress is cant remember her name but she had a birthday party beside my table of 25 people. The place was really busy but when I seen she had so many people she was waiting on i thought I'd never get waited on . But she took care of me and I was very happy she did outstanding job“

“What’s not to love, great food, chilled atmosphere inside and outside with the friendliest staff….and excellent value for money. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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)!!“

“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!“

“Martin's Barbecue in Nashville, TN, a gem in the southern barbecue scene, offers a delightful experience. 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. Martin's Barbecue proves to be a satisfying destination for those seeking an eclectic and flavorful southern barbecue experience.“

“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!!“

“This was some of the BEST BBQ I have ever had. It's a little place, a kind of blink and you might miss it, but it is DEFINITELY worth checking out. I ordered the rib plate, my husband ordered the catfish plate and my mother ordered the brisket plate. Everything was delicious. The ribs fell completely off the bone and was incredibly tender. The brisket is sliced and is so tender it melts in your mouth. The catfish is so well seasoned and tasted fresh. HIGHLY recommend the banana pudding for dessert. All in all a great place and will be making the drive from Chattanooga to there again!“

“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!“

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“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! 🎶💕“

“In town for a conference at Music City Center and fond this place on Google maps by the Cambria where we're staying. What a find it was! Exceptional BBQ at a great price. Moist smokey pulled pork with incredible flavor. Really top notch skill in the smoke master. The baked beans were sweet and had that green pepper flavor. The corn bread was like a corn bread pound cake. It was really dense but sweet and delicious. The green beans were good with that southern saltiness I like. They had multiple sauces and I went with a sweet to compliment the pork. Truly a fantastic lunch and I'd reccomend a visit. Probably my favorite BBQ in Nashville now.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Not that it’s a competition but Stoke Haus is the best BBQ in Nashville. Hands down. I’ve lived in the city for over 15 years and every item we ordered was 12/10. Unfortunately ribs + Mac and cheese were sold out. Looks like we will be going back, earlier, to make sure we get to eat it all. Can’t wait to go back. I’ll be telling everyone about this place. I got the“

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.“

“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.“

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

“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.

“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.“

“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!!!! 😋😋😋😋👏🏻👏🏻“

“Awesome place. All in Chiefs gear and not one rude look in the middle of winning the Orange Bowl. 😅 Felt the energy, and know it well! Congrats and thanks for the hospitality!“

“Excellent cheeseburger and fresh cut fries. Will definitely return.“

“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“

“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload“

“We catered Stroud’s for 40 people yesterday for my grandmother’s funeral reception and I couldn’t recommend them more. The food was delicious! We had just enough to make a few sandwiches for tomorrow. The banana pudding is one of the best in town & the potato salad was delicious. They were friendly, communicative, on time, and professional. Highly recommend Stroud’s!!!“

“What an unexpected and delicious surprise at Swetts BBQ inside Nashville’s BNA Airport (The location is Concourse C near gate C-18). We were looking for something to eat before our flight and stumbled upon this spot serving soul food. I’m so glad we did!

I ordered the catfish, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread, and everything was absolutely delicious! The food was hot, fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Definitely not your typical airport food experience!

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they even offered me a sample before I ordered, which helped me decide what to get. I really appreciated that extra touch of hospitality.

Overall, this was a pleasant surprise and a great dining experience. Good food, excellent customer service, and reasonable expectations exceeded. If you’re traveling through Nashville’s BNA Airport and craving some good soul food, I definitely recommend giving Sweets BBQ a try. I’ll absolutely stop by again when I’m passing through!“

“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!“

“I got the smoked bologna sandwich and the pulled pork plate. The bologna sandwich was awesome. The pulled pork plate was good. The only drawbacks were the slaw and the cornbread (called litebread on the menu). The slaw was average at best. The cornbread was tasty but dry.“

“I had the shrimp and chorizo Benedict. It was delicious! I was disappointed in the hash browns. Personally I like them crispy, but these were mush served on the plate with an ice cream scoop.
The place was cute and clean. It did feel a bit rustic. It was a bit pricey as well. Will we come back? Absolutely!“

“The food and service was absolutely amazing. I travel the country and this Longhorn Steakhouse definitely ranks at the top of my list. If you're looking for a great steak and great service, come to this place. Omya A. was absolutely amazing. 10stars“

“Truly enjoyed the soul food here the meat and three delicious!!!“
