Those are chinese strawberries known as bay berries and yes they are edible.
'Chinese strawberries/Bayberries' are the fruit of Myrica rubra, a tropical tree in an entirely different order from Fragaria spp. No big deal in this instance, but please be very careful of misidentifying edibles in the future!
The fruit in the OP's photo don't look as if they're growing on a tropical tree ... the leaves look very much like Fragaria .
