The Ridge

We grabbed lunch from The Ridge during a meeting at the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, and it was a great choice. It’s located just down the road, which made it incredibly convenient to pick up and bring back to the office without losing valuable meeting time. I ordered the brisket quesadilla, and it was excellent. The brisket was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor—clearly slow-cooked the right way. The tortilla was crisp, the portion was generous, and it held together well even as takeout. It felt like authentic, well-prepared barbecue, not something rushed. Everyone else at the meeting was raving about their meals too. There were strong reviews of the pulled pork and ribs, and the sides got plenty of compliments as well. It’s always a good sign when a group setting turns into a roun

Really good BBQ with a friendly waitress. So I was wanting a little bit of everything so I ordered the 5 meat platter. I got the brisket, pork, sausage ribs and bologna. Everything was excellent except the brisket, it was very dry and didn't taste good, but everything else made up for it. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and seasoned just right. The sausage was sliced very uniquely and had great taste. The pork was very moist and favorable. Now the bologna stole the show! It was chared just right and had great flavor. If I'm back in the area will definitely eat here again.

Came in on the Friday after Christmas and they didn’t have any ribs ready. The BBQ pork plate spoke of their cooking skills. Not shredded or sliced, sort of chunky. I liked it. BBQ beans were great. (Not cowboy beans). Also tried their Gotcha Slaw which lives up to its name. Spicey. Also it’s not the slaw they put on their sandwich which is more traditional. Topped it with a banana pudding. Which thankfully had wafers and bananas, whipped cream and some nutmeg. Enjoy.

The service was great! Unfortunately the food was not. The brisket was dry and lacked flavor. We ordered the nachos on tater tots and it came out with chips. Not a big deal but they were not very good. Not a lot of toppings and cheap ingredients. My husband did like the ribs. Edlys is definitely way better.

First time here, had half rack of ribs with potato salad, and fried apples. I’m not a bbq connoisseur. I enjoyed the ribs, great taste, not wreaking of smoke flavor which is great for me. Meat was falling off the bone tender. Potato salad is the mustard kind which I like and was good. Apples were good to. I would revisit this place. Not busy when I went in, staff was nice. Place looked clean well kept, parking might be an issue when the place is busy.
