Bad Brads BBQ - Shelby Township
Matthew Wilson We are driving to Niagara Falls from Kansas City and stopped here for dinner. My wifes brother lives nearby and we stopped to have dinner with him on our way and he recommend this place.
We entered and having never been here at night the entrance isnt very defined. Maybe a lit up entrance sign or something would help? Without windows on the door my son walked past it but I realized this was the entrance. Maybe daytime its defined but at night its a bit disguised.
We entered and the place was lively and interesting. We were quickly greeted and they seemed friendly.
When our server greeted us she asked if wed ever been here. I appreciate that question. I was a server in high-school and any well trained server should be asking this to know if people need guidance.
The server answered our questions and went to grab our drinks. I loved the large jar type glasses. Nothing worse than waiting for refills but these were large drinks. My son said his tea was too sweet and the server quickly replaced it with a Dr. Pepper.
We ordered and enjoyed the nachos and the bacon appetizer. My 10 year old tried bacon for the 10th or so time and declared he likes bacon now.
Our food arrived and we all really enjoyed everything. The corn bread was delicious. My 10 year old inhaled his macaroni. The butter for the corn bread was delicious. I had chopped brisket, pulled pork and sausage. I could barely eat half. I was so full I only took 1 bite of my macaroni and my wife was happy to take it to-go for herself for later.
My 17 year old had sliced brisket and it was a bit fatty so we exchanged brisket. It was very tender and delicious. He enjoyed the chopped brisket. I enjoyed his sliced brisket and needed a to-go box.
I only tried the 3 in 1 sauce and enjoyed it.
Overall we enjoyed this restaurant and Id definitely recommend this place. This will be a fun little memory for our Christmas vacation.
