We showed up in a large U-Haul and they handled it perfectly. An employee came out the backdoor and directed us to pull up to the drive-thru. The cashier was very friendly and patient with us. Ordering was fast and the service was quick. Excellent customer service!
Visiting town, I was recommended Grady's for their brisket, and now I’m passing that recommendation on to you. The atmosphere is great—I spent several hours there joking and relaxing.
Great grill, though the uneven tables were a bit of a challenge—my plate and cup kept sliding. My husband and I had to hold the table steady while we ate. My plate was even broken into two pieces. Despite that, the food was tasty!
The quality of the brisket was best moderate. Turkey and sausage were good. Pages are also good. Service was good. They had no beer when I left what is open a sin and the main reason that there are two stars instead of three. The prices correspond to Black's and Cooper's, and these places have much better food. Overall, not impressed and I definitely had better for similar prices.
I found the mild BBQ sauce a bit too thick for my liking, so I'll ask for it on the side next time. The ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful, while the chicken was both moist and delicious. The brisket was served in thick slices, and overall, the meat was impressive. Lisa’s salmon was cooked perfectly to a rare finish, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The rice was creamy and absolutely delightful. The fried catfish was crispy and tasty, but the baked version stole the show with its amazing flavor, enhanced by a dusting of Cajun seasoning. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but the peach cobbler was calling our names. We’ll definitely have to come back for that next time!
Grady's BBQ offers a mixed culinary experience, with some diners praising the tenderness of the ribs and chicken, while others criticize the portion sizes and food quality, particularly the brisket. The ambiance is friendly but countered by issues like sticky floors and lack of proper ventilation. Despite some tasty dishes, inconsistencies in service and omitted items from orders detract from the overall experience. While the BBQ sauce is noted for its thickness, many appreciate the flavor of various meats. Overall, it could benefit from improvements in both food quality and guest comfort.

Guys in the kitchen were working hard. Food was good. It was just hot in there, especially the restroom. It was like those poor guys didn't have any ventilation. You could feel the heat when ordering. I've worked in kitchens for years and I know that's notnormal. Owner need to make it as comfortable as he can
Ordered ahead of time on the phone. When I arrived, I told them my name to pick up the order. I had to ask for my drink on the kids meal. When I checked through the food at home, the fish platters looks ok, except i asked for fried okra and they failed totell me they didnt have any, but didn't hesitate to charge me extra for it. There was no tarter sauce at all. I ordered achicken fried steak, and they had no gravy in the order. The chicken basket was suppose to come with a drink also and theydidn't ask about that one either. I called the manager and all she did was credit the amount of the kids meal, but I still haveno okra and a dry chicken fried steak.
The ribs were pretty much the most succulent and tender ribs I?ve had in recent memory and the meat peeled off effortlessly it was incredibly tender and juicy! The chicken had a good flavor but was a little drier than the ribs. Nevertheless it was solidbbq and I can easily see myself buying this plate again. The mashed potatoes and green beans were great and definitely not aplain, afterthought of a side dish: they tasted made with care and had great body to them. I?m happy with my first experiencewith Grady?s and hope to come back! Edit: came back for the Turkey and tried their smoked Sausage as well amazing! I lovethis BBQ!
Quality of the brisket was mediocre at best. Turkey and sausage were good tho. Sides are good as well. Service was serviceable. They didn't have any beer when I went which frankly is a sin and the main reason there's two stars instead of three. Pricesmatch Black's and Cooper's, and those places have way better food. Overall, not impressed and I've definitely had better forsimilar prices.
