Very nice appearance inside and out. I loved that they had old Westerns showing on screens around the room. I always get fried okra when it's on the menu; the fried okra here was the best I've ever had. Bonus points from this Texas Aggie for a picture of OSU @ A&M hanging in the hallway. Can't wait to go back.

We had two generously sized sandwiches with a basket of hand cut fries. We weren't disappointed. The meats were perfectly cooked, moist, and tender. The fries are very good.

Update: visited the evening of Wednesday May 8th but left review on May 11th.

You go here for the meat and not so much for potatoes or other items. Their spuds for the Stuffed Spud isn't restaurant sized but is equivalent to what you buy at your local grocery store (restaurants are given the ability to purchase the overly large potatoes that are nearly impossible to find in grocery stores). Their Cowboy Salad with Pulled Pork and no beans tasted great but is on the dry side. If you ordered Ranch dressing with your salad then you will have to retrieve the ranch from near the fountain drinks. Which is nice that you can take as many as needed but would have been nice to know when they dropped off the food at the table. The BBQ sauce is also only available near the fountain machine but is fun to retrieve since the dispenser is imitating milking a cow. The decor is fitting for a BBQ joint with plenty of taxidermy mounts and rustic wood finishings and furniture. There is even a decent sized Brown Bear in a standing position near the front entrance, which is great for photo opts. Their bar is large and well lit with plenty of seating and seems to be the focus of the interior. There is even outdoor seating however the outdoor seating is directly next to the smoker and is very smoky even near the end of the day and could cause problems for individuals with breathing issues. Thankfully the interior is not as smoky as the parking lot, which worried us upon arrival due to my wife being on oxygen tanks and having limited lung function.
Service is pretty much nonexistent, besides when you place your order when you walk in and when someone drops off the food at your table. So there is no need to leave a tip when ordering your food upon arrival. Since this was our first time to this location we asked if there would be any wait staff service while in the process of paying since the Yukon location has waiting staff and this location was asking for a tip upon paying on arrival. We were informed someone would check on us while we eat so we left a tip only to be completely ignored by the staff even when leaving the restaurant. The person who dropped off the food didn't confirm the order was correct or even inform us about where to find the condiments such as the salad dressing. Drink refills are self service and are located on the east side of the restaurant. The staff members present visibly looked unhappy and were having bad days as per their own words when chatting with their friends who stopped in.
This location is a completely different experience (in a bad way) then the Yukon Bad Brad's location and seems to only share a similarity in name only.

Stopped in for lunch while in the area for work. I had heard this place was really good. First off I want to say the service was amazing! Extremely helpful, knowledgeable staff that was a pleasure to interact with. It’s walk up order and seat/serve yourself. We had questions and they answered no problem.
Now on to the three stars…
I ordered the stuffed spud with brisket. My associate ordered the smoked sausage platter with chips and potato salad.
The brisket honestly tasted like pot roast. I didn’t get a smoke flavor and it was really dry. The smoked sausage was also not very smoked and was cold. The bbq sauce was delicious. I think that was my favorite item I tasted.
I always encourage everyone to form their own opinions but mine is this.. unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be returning to bad brads. =[

Great food and atmosphere. The owner is usually present and takes very good care of all the customers Shanna and her daughter are great five star services. They know everything about the food and it is delicious. Come here and reply

Only reason for the missing star is because they were out of a few items that was on the menu. They was out of baked potatoes and also couldn't order fried pickles for appetizer which is still on the list. But other than that the food and everything was top notch. Great smoked favor on the meat. The kids loves the atmosphere. Including the milking bbq bottles. The place was very clean and decor was neat. We enjoyed ourselves.

The fish Tacos are decent, the fish was fresh but not enough Flavor, the salad definitely needed more color! The service was Mediocre, I know the ladies were busy working at the bar but they still supposed to check on the customers!
