“For a place that's been around since the 60s, this place gives the southern vibe of a small town. Great fried food and BBQ, the atmosphere here will give you that old school look with lots of history, and when you enter in, it feels like a southern home. The workers are friendly, lots of options for food, and plenty of space for a dine in. Highly recommend if you're wanting to support a local business.“

“Do not go to this address. Go to the Instagram to get the right address. I made that mistake and had to turn around and go to the lithonia address. Food pretty good but make sure you go on pay day after the bills paid lol keep up the good work fellas!!“

“No frills here. All the effort is put into the fantastic BBQ. The brisket melts. The sides are delicious and the staff make you feel like you are home. Me and the guys at work look forward to coming here often. The stew is the best around too.“

“I always enjoy Bradley's. I used to stop by their Conyers location (years ago). Once I moved back to Covington, I learned that they had a location not far from the square. The food is always good. I love texas toast! There's is always on point. This is my go-to place for barbecue. The price per portion is also good.“

“Outstanding food & service. 5 STARS or better yet, 6 STARS out of 5. We have a Thanksgiving feast of beef brisket, pulled chicken, turkey, Quarts of green beans, collards, sweet potato casserole, corn bread dressing, large cartons of gravy, red bbq sauce & white Morgan Co sauce, a pecan pie & chocolate pie, all of it delivered by the manager, Rachel.“

“Their food NEVER disappoints! The whole wings are well seasoned and fried to perfection. I very like the cheesesteak egg rolls. They are always friendly to their customers.

Parking: They stay busy but there is always parking available. And if it's not you can park at the Velero gas station and walk over.

Wheelchair accessibility: Low curb to the side of the store.“

“Had several meals in this location and this most recent trip was the first that I could not rate a 5. Both meals for my table were overcooked and service was slower than usual. I have always had dinner here and never made it in for lunch. Often expedient a short wait for a table during the week.“

“I've seen this place for awhile and tonight I was in the mood for some catfish so I gave them a try, Wow, it was some of the best catfish I've ever eaten plus the portions were very generous, the fried okay and the baked beans were also very good. If you're ever out in the Covington Ga area, give them a try, they're on the east side of Covington on Hwy 278 across from the Ingles Shopping Center. They also have all kinds of other fish, craps, shrimps, lobster tails even fried gator which is not my cup of tea but it's there if you want it, no kidding, you have to give this place a shot, you won't be sorry. 9157 US-278, Covington (770) 788-9966“
