Lady at cash register was absolutely rude, rolling her eyes bc I didn't know the menu, tried to make me feel stupid for being a first time customer. Its a disgrace how she represented the restaurant. Food was awful, BBQ pork was dry, and they didn't fill out my sandwich, you can get three times as much meat at any other BBQ place. This place is a disgrace to all real BBQ restaurants out there

I probably should have ordered BBQ since I was at a BBQ restaurant, but I instead ordered the chopped turkey melt. The turkey was cheap processed junk, and the cheese was a kraft single slice, so not cheese at all. The Brunswick stew was ok... I give it a 3 out of 5. It lacked any real flavor. The sauces are all really sweet - including the "hot". The one positive thing I can say is the prices are extremely low.My experience was so underwhelming I don't plan on returning to try the BBQ pork or Ribs.

The food just wasn't the same as it was when we first started coming, the last few times just hasn't been as good.

This place is a diamond in the rough. It’s an unassuming little spot on the corner with a small sign out front on the corner of the building. But the food and prices are outstanding. $5 for a BBQ sandwich is almost unheard of these days. Now it’s not a huge sandwich (they have that too), but for a light lunch with some fries it’s perfect. Sauces to choose from to spice it up or sweeten your food. Unlimited fountain drinks and good sweet tea!

We took our food to go, but it was delicious! We ate off of it for almost three days and it was just as good reheated as it was fresh!

If you are looking for smoked wings, this is the best place in Covington. The wings are great plain, but they have a couple sauces on the table if you want to mix it up a bit.

My husband ordered me a sliced turkey sandwich. First it's chopped and not sliced. Second he was told it was $.42 for a cup of barbecue sauce. One was not provided with my meal. I am extremely upset by this. He was not asking for extra just one to be provided with the meal. We have been going to this restaurant for years and will not longer be a customer if this is what we can expect. I understand that cost of everything has gone but up normally we don't even ask for sauce and our bag has 2-4 cups in it. Also the tables have bottles of sauce on them to choose from when dinning in. I am extremely disappoint in Bradley's today.

Came to Covington with my family for The Originals and stayed for the BBQ!!! The service was good and with a smile. The food was hot and delicious. I ordered the BBQ sandwich with the slaw... delicious!!! My niece LOVED her burger, and my sister enjoyed the large helping of potato salad and brisket. We wanted Mystic Grill, but there was an hour wait. So, we kept walking and found this cute spot. I would definitely eat here again!!!
