"Edley’s is a Nashville classic draped in American flags, where the milkshakes are spiked and everyone—families, dog owners, college kids on dates—comes out for the hot chicken. If you’re feeling ambitious, order the Tuck Special: a few slices of smoked brisket, pork, chicken, or turkey; in-house pimento cheese; an over-easy egg; red and white sauce; and pickles, slapped between sandwich bread. Just order at the counter and grab a seat. The locally grown institution has resonated enough with customers that it has three locations in town, and two elsewhere." - Kristin Luna
