The food was good and worth the price. We had a problem with the billing, and the owner's daughter cared for the issue quickly and with concern. This kind of response makes us want to return when we are in the area. We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. read more

We were a big group and went ahead and did a reservation. Ordering was easy with plenty of menus to go around. I ordered a build your own piggy with pulled pork on a baked potato. It was great. read more

We've been to Bradley's BBQ around 8-10 times now, and unfortunately this has been a consistent problem, not a one-off experience. On every occasion, all our food has come to the table COLD. While the staff is eager to remake it once we say something, the issue is never fixed on the front end which leads to a lot of wasted food..which is frustrating and completely avoidable. We keep coming back hoping it's finally been addressed, and it never has. The overall experience feels extremely low-effort. Food is served on paper & with plastic, which immediately cheapens the visit. Much of the food comes out looking unappetizing, as if it's been slopped onto the plate, and at times it even looks microwaved rather than freshly prepared--especially disappointing for a BBQ restaurant. The food being delivered by a robot is also completely out of place and honestly awkward. It doesn't fit the restaurant at all and draws uncomfortable attention when it comes to the table rather than enhancing the experience. The bathrooms are another issue. They've been dirty on multiple visits, and there are no paper towels at all--only one of those hand blow-dryers. That might work in an airport, but it's incredibly impractical in a restaurant, especially when you're trying to clean kids' hands or faces after messy BBQ. The only reason we've continued to give this place chances is the friendly staff, and the hope that maybe the next visit would finally be better. The ice cream shop next door is honestly one of the biggest reasons we stop at all. Overall, the experience feels bare minimum. I'd rather run through a drive thru chain. It's unfortunate because this place has potential..but it's hard to recommend unless real changes are made. For now this was our last visit. read more

We got take out....brisket with onion rings. The food was good, wished they sliced the brisket thinner BUT it was good. We will be going back! read more

Tried this place while traveling. It was decent. The pulled pork was a little dry. The brisket was good, but I prefer a more sliced brisket. The hushpuppies were amazing. The fries were meh and cold and had been around a while. The potato was huge but needed butter. The mac n cheese was meh. The texas toast was not thick like texas toast and needed more flavor. read more

How does a place known for its loaded baked potatoes run out of baked potatoes before 6 PM??!!! This has happened several times even when we arrive early - i'm not really interested in having a baked potato for breakfast but apparently that's what it takes to get one from this place.... Thank goodness they got rid of the stupid robot! read more

Good BBQ place. We stayed in site with Harvest Host and after a long day of driving, I really wanted some BBQ. They have a nice variety on the menu of both apps, mains and sides. My wife went with the pulled pork, Mac & cheese and tots. I went with a 3 item and an additional side of ribs. The pulled pork was the star of the meal, juicy and full of flavor. I also got the brisket and a some a tea fatty brisket. As a lover of brisket, I thought it was okay. The he ribs were fall of the bone tender, there was nothing left on the bones. The meat was flavorful and I really enjoyed their house sauce. One of the sides I got was the fried orca, which was a winner! I also really liked the hush puppies. They had nice seating options both inside and out. Great little place. read more

It may be a wonderful place for lunch or dinner but I did stop by around 2:30pm so that may be why it was like it was. Nothing was horrible but the fries were not even warm and felt as if they'd been just laying around a while. The cornbread felt a few days old and the mac n cheese was just basic. The meat was good with the bbq sauce options on the table. Not sure I'd stop by this one again but it may be a lot better for lunch time or dinner time than the middle time. The service wasn't horrible but was basically nothing and there was zero good vibe it was just plain and had no feel at all. read more

We were traveling & I love barbecue decided to give it a try. Very disappointed 20 minute wait when the food arrived it was cold on paper plate. Fries were old & cold as well. The meat had no flavor almost like it had been boil not smoked at all wouldn't recommend read more

Passing through town en route to "Lost Sea Adventure" and saw the parking lot to Bradley's was packed. So after my cave tour, I stopped by for a late lunch before hitting road to Chattanooga. Very friendly staff with excellent help navigating some complicated food allergies. Large seating area inside and outside. Very well maintained and clean. I am picky about my BBQ sauce and really enjoyed theirs! The brisket was tender and the chicken tasty. Not a morsel of my meal was left. The only thing I would change is that I had the cornbread instead of the hush puppies and I wish I had gone with the puppies! read more

They offered a Sweetwater IPA that was grapefruit and it was actually pretty decent considering I'm not crazy about IPAs. I got the Homemade chicken salad and it was chunks of chicken that I've been smoked throughout the day and fall to pieces. It was quite delicious on a freshly toasted sourdough bread. And the hush puppies were extremely moist and very well flavor crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. My uncle ended up getting a basket of smoked plain wings. The smoke flavor was beyond and absolutely wonderful! The place was neat with all their little robots delivering food, and the servers were extremely friendly. Afterwards, we decided to check out their ice cream shop, which was amazing. I got the double espresso chocolate chunk on a waffle cone and I wish I had more stomach room to get a second serving. read more

Bradley's Pit Barbecue & Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Sweetwater, Tennessee

3.5/5 Came here after a tour at the Lost Sea Adventure for lunch. They have their own parking lot and have both indoor and outdoor seating. As you walk in, you will order at the counter. If you are dining in, they'll give you a table tent to put at your table and they'll bring the food to you. The cashier and waitress was so so kind and guided us through the decision making process. She had recommended their Philly cheesesteak (as one of their most popular items and said the "make your own potato" was pretty popular as well). We also ordered a sample three consisting of pulled pork, sausage, brisket. Sides of Mac and cheese and hush puppies. She said the other popular items were the piggies or burgers. The Philly cheesesteak was so so good, but we were disappointed with the sample 3 because the meat was cold *eek*. All in all, customer service was great but eating cold meat kind of dampened our experience. read more

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. Unfortunately, in our experience with Bradley's BBQ, we have literally been served cold food every single time we've visited. Not just slightly warm -- almost lukewarm. When you're paying full price for what should be a hot, freshly prepared meal, that's incredibly disappointing. Each time, we've politely notified the staff, who are quick and eager to take the food back to "fix" the issue. While we appreciate their willingness to help, this results in long waits and a significant amount of food being returned to the kitchen and ultimately thrown away. What's most frustrating is that many other reviews here mention the exact same issue with cold food. This appears to be an ongoing, known problem. What I truly don't understand is why ownership hasn't addressed this at the root. Restaurant food should be held and served at safe, appropriate temperatures -- not only for quality, but also to avoid potential foodborne illness. Fixing this problem would undoubtedly lead to happier customers and far more return business. The overall dining experience is further diminished by the heavy use of disposable paper goods. While we were thankful to see real, stainless steel silverware finally introduced, literally everything else -- trays, plates, and serving items -- is cheap, disposable, and throwaway. It significantly cheapens the experience and clashes with the idea of a quality BBQ restaurant. Another aspect that feels completely out of place is the service robot. The dining room clearly aims for a hometown, country BBQ vibe -- and then suddenly an awkward robot rolls out, with a server walking directly behind it anyway. It's cringey, unnecessary, and detracts from the atmosphere rather than enhancing it. In our opinion, ownership should be far more focused on improving food temperature, food quality, and the overall dining experience instead of relying on gimmicks. It's really a shame, because this place could be great. Unfortunately, until some serious improvements are made, we will not be returning. read more

We stopped by here for an early dinner after visiting the Lost Sea. The girls at the front counter were very friendly and patient while we figured out what we wanted. I got a piggy with chips and pulled pork and vinegar bbq sauce. My husband got brisket piggy over fries. Our order was brought out on a robot, guided by a server. My kids were thrilled to see the robot. The restaurant was small and cozy. All of our food was delicious! If I am in the area again, I will definitely stop by. read more

Not worth your time and money. Brunswick stew was basically diluted water with a few things in it. Chicken was dry and not that good.

I stopped here today to try their bbq. I got the brisket sandwich, Mac n cheese and sweet tea. I tried the brisket by itself and it has no bark nor smokiness. It was bland. The Mac n cheese was bland. The tea was decent. The staff were super friendly at least. I won't return though. Flavor was a let down. read more

My favorite BBQ pit stop in Sweetwater. When you want to eat BBQ, Bradley's Pit BBQ & Grill always a popular choice with group of friends. I'm definitely on my way of becoming a regular there anytime I'm passing through Sweetwater. Just next door you will find the Bradley's Sweet Side ice cream shop. Treat yourself to great value and delicious eats. The servers have always provided us with fast and friendly attention. Highly recommend. read more

It was a very clean place and everyone was so friendly. I ordered the ribs and when I tried to dig in, it was as hard as a brick. But I will say the lady up front took very good care of me, and took it away and brought me out the best ribs I have eaten in a while. I would eat here again, and hope for the best. read more

My family and I came here after going to the lost Sea adventure, and it did not disappoint. I have the pulled pork plate, which was really good. My uncle had the ribs which I got to try and they were good, but the best thing was the wings. They are delicious. Service was phenomenal and the ambience was pleasant outside of the robot making noises. also check out the ice cream spot right next-door read more

AWFUL!!! My wife and I stopped in while passing through Sweetwater, we ordered the 3 meat sampler, brisket, pulled pork and ribs with 2 sides to share. When the food arrived at our table none of it was hot including our baked potato and beans. The pork was very dry, the brisket was tough and the ribs were inedible along with the cornbread. This was possibly the worst BBQ we've ever had, the owners should be embarrassed to sell food this awful. read more

The food is absolutely amazing! The choices are unlimited, the service is great and the ambience is fun and exciting! After you're done with your food, you're given a ticket where you walk next door and get an ice cream cone and take pictures behind a ice cream cone wall where you just placed your head inside the hole. It is a fun place for children also. This place is a 10 out of 10! read more

The customer service is top notch. The food was very good. I don't eat barbecue but my husband does. I ordered a cheeseburger and a salad. Delicious! Zero complaints. My husband ordered Piggy fries, brisket steak and cheese and coleslaw and he greatly enjoyed it. The girls up front were so friendly and welcoming. We'd return again when in the area. read more

Bradley's Pit Barbecue & Grill - Mac n Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Sweetwater, Tennessee

My wife and I are here in Sweetwater, TN to attend a family wedding. We asked the front desk clerk at the Holiday Inn Express for a good place for lunch and they highly recommended Bradley's Pit Barbecue and Grill. They were spot on with their suggestion to try Bradley's. Our meal was great and we could not have had a better wait staff. We shared our experience with other family members that were here for the wedding and we decided to go to Bradley's for dinner. There were eight in our party. All our food was fantastic and we were treated as though we owned the place. The staff went up and beyond to make sure that we ( and the other patrons eating there ) had a great dining experience. I am 72 years old and I am very proud to make the following statement. In all my years I have never ever had the experience we all had tonight. All the food, regardless of who ordered what meal, was spectacular and flavorful. All of our plates were "cleaned". The environment was clean, comforting, and inviting. The entire staff was very accommodating. Everyone, especially Jessie, Deb, and Mel, went up and beyond to make sure we had the best dining experience. We really appreciated their smiles, enthusiasm, and friendly service they provided. I have never felt this strong about any restaurant in my entire life. We will try our best to make a trip back to Sweetwater and Bradley's Pitt Barbecue and Grill. Ralph and Cathy George, Richmond, VA. read more

This was a nice find while traveling through the area. We stopped and were greeted with a wonderful menu of bbq. The piggy is a signature item and is a must if you like meat and potato (who doesn't). The service was very pleasant and accommodating. We ordered and they had a table made up for our party (7 people) by the time we were done. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The food was brought to us and we were told to leave everything in place when we were done. The food quality was great and when we find ourselves back in the area it will be our place to stop once again. read more
