Brisket nachos and meats were very good. Potatoes salad tasted store bought and old in addition coleslaw tasted old and was runny. I would go back just for nachos. Loved the fries.

Had a great meal of pulled pork, brisket chili, and chips & queso. Best jalapeño cornbread. Andrea, our server was friendly and attentive. One of the best margaritas I’ve had in a long time. Unfortunately, we were told Bray’s will be closed permanently as of December 31, 2023. :-(

Went there for a birthday celebration for tonight and initially our experience started out good. The waitress was attentive and my family was happy. Then our steaks came and were undercooked so we asked to send them back. Two of them. The waitress was kind and took them. My family and I were having a conversation about the wanting to speak to the manager as we were going to send it back twice. The two hostesses were talking and called over the manager Joel, as they were clearly looking and making it seem as if we did something wrong. I asked them if there was an issue and all they had to do was ask. The manager came over and was very defensive. I tried to explain to him the situation but he was clearly bothered by what the hostess said was going on and was very sarcastic. He then went on to ask if I wanted my plate taken, again sarcastically, and I never got to even finish eating. He stood there and argued as if we had been causing problems when I was willing to just let my food pass and eat it as is. At no point did he try to resolve what occurred and he walked away. Very unprofessional and very rude. Our birthday event turned into a very uncomfortable time. If he’s okay with treating customers that way, then my family and I will just stay away. They did remove the price off our bill after but if we were going to pay that amount we paid as a group, we will just spend our money elsewhere.
I love coming here. Great staff and great food ?✌️????

I'll start by saying we were a BIG party (about 40 people), so we will have to try it again, and if things are different, I will update my review.
The parking was plentiful, easy to get in and out of, and close to HWY 77. Easy to get to.
The restaurant was clean, and there was plenty of seating.
We started at the bar while waiting for our party. The bartender was OK. She seemed overwhelmed, and you could tell she needed help. She made great drinks!
They had two waitress for our party. They probably should have had at least one more. They were unorganized and confused about the orders. They were not friendly at all and did not ask if we needed anything or get us refills.
The food was meh. The portions were small, poorly plated, and several orders were wrong. The flavor was grease. I did not get pictures because of all the commotion. I had the poor boy with two meats (Brisket and sausage). The bread was soggy, the was hardly any Brisket and only a thin slice of sausage. I ordered potato salad, but got fries. Hubby got the two meats plate with ribs and sausage. He got two tiny ribs and 1 small piece of sausage. He got macaroni as his side, and it was cold.
The prices were not bad for what we ordered.
As previously mentioned, we will try it again when we are in the area.

First off let me just say our waitress was the sweetest person ever! I want to say her name was destiny based off of our receipt. She checked on us several times, everything we ordered was brought to us in no time at all. Just a phenomenal experience. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.
