Name<\/strong>: Bringle\u2019s Smoking Oasis
Date<\/strong>: 5\/3\/26
Address<\/strong>: 4901 Centennial Blvd, Nashville, TN 37209
Order<\/strong>: Pastrami, brisket, ribs, Kool-Aid pickles, turnip greens, Mexican street corn (link to menu<\/a>)
Pricing<\/strong>: $$$<\/p>\n

Monk<\/strong>: Since Speedy moved to Nashville nearly a decade (!!) ago, we\u2019ve tried our fair share of barbecue joints around the city. Most recently, we shared a pretty decent meal at Shotgun Willie\u2019s<\/a> in January 2025 but Speedy\u2019s favorite has always been Cary Bringle\u2019s second restaurant after Peg Leg Porker<\/a> (which we\u2019ve visited a few times), Bringle\u2019s Smoking Oasis, which he first visited in 2022<\/a>. On my most recent trip to Nashville, I finally checked it out with Speedy to see what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

Bringle\u2019s calls itself a \u201cWest Texas Style BBQ Joint\u201d and it is situated in the middle of the growing Nations neighborhood. In addition to the barbecue, they are going for a bit of a neighborhood hangout\/outdoor sports bar vibe with a big, enclosed outdoor beer garden with large TVs and outdoor games. Good for families with small kids during the day but I imagine also good for catching a NBA playoff game or World Cup match at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speedy<\/strong>: And don\u2019t forget dog friendly! In addition to its big outdoor spot, Bringles has some indoor dining, and a cafeteria style line as you walk in, where you order desserts first, then cold sides, hot sides, and finally the meat. Always available are pastrami, brisket, ribs and pulled pork (we ordered all three) as well as turkey and sausage (which we skipped).<\/p>\n

I told Monk going in \u2013 and also re-confirmed on this visit \u2013 the pastrami is my favorite smoked meat in Nashville. Smoked to perfection with great salty flavor, it always delivers. It\u2019s one that I frequently order extra for leftover sammies the next day. On this day, Monk and I cleaned our plates.<\/p>\n

Monk<\/strong>: Pastrami is not always a protein you see at a barbecue joint, but Speedy wasn\u2019t lying about it.\u00a0Great meat executed super well. I was flying out the next day but would have gladly eaten a leftover sammie had we not eaten it all.<\/p>\n

The brisket was sliced from whatever was the current brisket on the cutting board, and while we weren\u2019t given the choice of fatty or lean we also didn\u2019t ask. What we got was a good-sized slice of lean that was well-smoked with the nice, peppery rub that you expect from a Texas-style joint.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Speedy<\/strong>: The ribs are done Texas style, with (I believe) just salt and pepper as seasoning. That gives them a widely different flavor than those you get at Peg Leg Porker<\/a> which I also quite like but are dusted with rub Memphis-style. One day I will do a side by side, but both are great, and no sauce is needed for these dry seasoned ribs.<\/p>\n

Monk<\/strong>: The one weak spot at Bringle\u2019s on this visit was the pulled pork, which had dried out considerably sitting under a heat lamp on the cutting board. In addition to the dry texture it lacked a lot of flavor and needed several hits of the mild vinegar barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n

The sides of kool-aid pickles, Mexican street corn, and turnip greens were above average across the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speedy<\/strong>: As usual, Bringles delivered a solid barbecue experience with a great atmosphere. As of this writing, I would still consider this my favorite barbecue spot in Nashville (apologies to Rodney Scott<\/a> (editor\u2019s note: all Rodney Scott\u2019s locations are <\/em>closed until further notice<\/em><\/a> as of this post with no reopening announced<\/em>) \u2013 largely on the back of the great atmosphere and the pastrami. However, with Terry Black\u2019s slated to open in Germantown this summer, challengers are a-comin\u2019.<\/p>\n
