The food was great and well priced. They do not serve alcohol but they allow you to bring your own beer in. I would recommend this place to all that like seafood as well as other food. I had the all you can eat catfish and could only eat most of the first plate that I got.

I have had gastric bypass and can only eat very small portions. I have a medical card from my doctor asking that I be allowed to order off the kids menu. The manager at this DQ would not allow this, and made the decision before even asking me if this was take out or before I showed my card. For all she knew I was taking it home to my grandchild. We went across the street and ate at Sonic!!!

Great place to stop and eat some delicious BBQ during a day of hunting or just passing through town. Moist smoked brisket with great sauce and good chicken, good regular potato salad,but they also have their house-special "pink" potato salad. We think it is an aquired taste- but we tried it! This great place has been here for years. Typical TX BBQ decor- cozy and complete with hunting photos by the door to inspire.

First time here. My goodness gracious...as we say in Texas! My hubby had sausage and brisket. Loved both. I had a new concoction that was off the charts... fritos, beans, chopped brisket, in a bowl. Then you add your "trimmins"...cheese, onions, sour cream, jalapeno etc. It was great! Good service too.

Beer was good, atmosphere was good, tacos came out dead cold. Wasn't impressed with the food quality.

The country hunter atmosphere here makes this place fun. The giant smokers outside with the scent all over. The big picnic table style seating inside. Sweet tea from huge coolers. Super friendly people. I’d come back just for all that.
The food was good, but I’ve had much better BBQ elsewhere. Turkey was a little dry. But the sauce was very good and so were the beans.
We were there on an uncrowded Friday night at 6:30 and they were already out of baked potatoes, Mac and cheese, and corn on the cob. So that was a little annoying.
But the loaves of bread on the table and all you can eat beans were fun.
I’d go back for sure if I were hunting in Brady again.

The food and service were great! We were headed through town on a Sunday and found this gem. The fajitas were wonderful. The beef and chicken were tender and seasoned wonderfully. Yummy cheese enchiladas too. The sauce was Muy Bueno!
I'm going to try and make trips through Brady now to stop for Mexican food!

Situated in an old drive-in, this mexican restaurant is the best place to get Mexican food in Brady. It is right on the main highway, close to downtown.

Yes, it's fast food, but a new and welcome addition. Fried chicken, delicious yeast rolls, vegetable choices, and salads. The service is friendly and prices inexpensive. The remodeled dining area (it used to be KFC) is attractive.

10. Mr. China

Mr. China is a welcome addition to Brady's restaurant choices. It is a small order-at-the counter restaurant but is big on taste and portions. Two can easily split an entree'. So far, we have tried the Kung Pao Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, and Orange Chicken, and they have all been winners, The owners have worked hard to renovate an old building into an attractive and comfortable restaurant. If coming through Brady with a craving for Chinese, you and your wallet won't be disappointed!
