“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!!“

“We tried the brisket plate and catfish plate and everything was DELICIOUS! The brisket was tender and the catfish was perfectly crispy. Great pricing. The portions were big and everything had so much flavor. We got extra cornbread and still wish we had more. Next time we're getting the whole loaf to go with supper the next night. We're already plotting on what we'll try next time. Thank you!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We enjoyed this barbecue restaurant on a road trip. My wife and I had barbecue pork and smoked chicken breast salads, which were delicious and generous. We also enjoyed a basket of fried okra. Service was fast and friendly, and prices reasonable. We would definitely dine at this restaurant again.“

“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.“

“Their Food is sooo good!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“
