In the past year, I’ve visited twice and have left disappointed both times. My family is from Brady, and though I now live in Houston, we visit a few times a year. The quality has declined quite a bit in recent years from what I knew of eating here for as long as I can remember. Everything feels thrown together and bland now. Our most recent batch of pinto beans was so undercooked and hard that it was inedible. We were satisfied that we weren’t made to pay for them, but it was still a disappointment. Chopped beef used to be much better — now it’s overly sauced with a stringy texture. Portions are also smaller than they used to be. Once our food was dropped off, we never saw our waitress again to even tell her about the beans, but the worker at the counter took care of it. Knowing that there are other dining options with more consistently great food around and loving our go-to bbq we can get much closer to home, we’ll probably be skipping Mac’s from now on when in town.

I came through Brady on a business trip back home. It was late and I was craving a steak. I went in at 9pm on a Saturday and they closed at 10. I was worried about ordering too late, but the staff assured me it was fine. The green chili Mac and cheese was delicious. Fried okra was on point. The real winner for me was the 16oz ribeye. Usually that late into the day the best steaks have already been served, but that steak was the best restaurant prepared steak I have ever eaten. Juicy, little bit of crispy, just the right amount of seasoning, and great medium rare cook. Vanessa was my server and she rocked! I travel a lot, and I remember the restaurants and food that really stand out to me. My next trip through West Texas will have me remembering this steak and I will swing back through Brady, just for that.

Very very good barbecue, this is a hidden gem in the heart of Texas. The brisket is tender, the sausage has a snappy casing and the ribs are competition quality with a little sweet and spicy that takes things to the next level. Glad I stopped here!

I have never been disappointed by this place! I moved here 2 years ago, probably eat here 3 times a month. The brisket is consistently good, and the sides are always fresh. You can’t beat the old style home fries, and the loaded taters are just that- loaded. I just had the newly refined chicken fried steak, and it was probably the best I’ve eaten in 20 years. Mac’s is a must stop spot right on the main drag in good old Brady Texas!

I am disappointed in the meat that is served. I have eaten here for years. The flavor of the brisket is bland. No flavoring at all. Like it was boiled. Where is the seasonings and smoke flavor. But they put way too much pepper making it too spicy. Will not return for bbq.
