From the food we put in front of our guests, to the service we provide to them and our communities. We embrace the art of smoking meat low and slow in combination with made from scratch side dishes, a full bar, great music and an atmospheric vibe that can’t be found anywhere else. Over a 10 year stretch in Music City, Edley’s has made itself the home of Nashville Style BBQ. A smoked pork dish that is filled with flavor and packed with heat that was inspired by Nashville’s love for hot chicken. Edley’s Bar-B-Que is family-owned and operated by its founders, Will and Catharine Newman. The first location was opened in 2011 in the 12South neighborhood of Nashville, TN. Edley’s has 5 total locations today with plans for more in 2022 and beyond. It has been recognized by publications such as Southern Living, USA Today, and Garden & Gun and has been featured on CBS The DIsh, Food Paradise on Travel Channel, and Cheap Eats on the Cooking Channel. Edley’s is named in honor of owner Will’s late grandfather, Edley Newman. George Edley Newman, Jr was born in 1907 in the farming community of Viola, TN. He left a legacy of generosity, hard work and Southern hospitality. The Edley’s Bar-B-Que concept is a tribute to the Edley Newman legacy and is committed to making the world a better place by making people happy. POSITIONS PITBOSS Do you love cooking?
