4 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Brady

“We love Rockin J Smokehouse in Brady! Stopped in as we were Heading back to Kansas/Missouri after a Hog Hunt down by Llano, TX. We ordered the Wagon Boss with brisket, ribs, and white meat chicken, plus the loaded potato salad and cowboy beans — every single bite was amazing. We also added turkey, jalapeño popper mac & cheese, a Texas Twinkie, and finished with a brownie for dessert. Everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Homemade BBQ sauce was the perfect finishing touch! Jim and Mandi make you feel right at home, and the prices are so reasonable for the quality you get. We’ll definitely be back! 🔥🤍“

“Loved everything we’ve gotten so far. Puffy tacos rule. Pork guiso is a winner. Friendly owners!“

“Had our Red Hat Society ladies monthly lunch there today. Food is always good and our waitress was busy but very attentive, helpful and this waitress is always very friendly and cheerful.“

“Sue Ellen and I eat at Cattleman's BBQ almost every week. I recommend it wholeheartedly. I have eaten a lot of barbecue in my life, all over Texas and in other states as well. Cattleman's makes a traditional Texas barbecue that is outstanding. The meat is from cattle that have been raised and processed locally. Mesquite--and only mesquite--is used in the smoker, which give the barbecue its distinctive flavor. The excellent barbecue sauce is balanced, Texas-traditional style -- some spice without being too hot, so that the smoked meat flavor is enhanced rather than covered up. Cattleman's sauce has enough sweet to keep it from tasting like a pepper sauce, but not so much that it is syrupy sweet. The chicken fried steak likewise is excellent, with flavorful, large steaks and not too much breading. It's very much like the chicken fried steak my own mother and grandmother made. The desserts vary from week to week, but they are always excellent and made from scratch. The banana pudding is old-school, from scratch, so be sure to order it when it's available.“
