After accidentally passing our original dinner destination by 15 miles we decided to go to Brady's. For 50 dollars we were able to feed a family of 5, so I can't complain about the value. Our server was new and training so she messed up the order a little bit, but for the most part she did great. The man who seated us seemed a little irritated and got snippy when we asked for a booster seat and high chair. The food was hot, but it tasted cheap and lacked in flavor. I ordered fish and chips and at first I was really excited. Then I took a bite of the fish. There was no flavor whatsoever & it was soggy. Maybe we came at a bad time or something. I'm not sure. Personally I would have rather spent 50 dollars elsewhere. read more

See all

The celery seed salad dressing is the bomb. Food is good, the prices reasonable, and the portions huge.

Stopped here on a road trip - friend and I were trying to avoid one of the million Subway's or McDonald's and get an authentic experience. The decor: is it tacky? Kind of. Is it enjoyable? Oddly, yes. It was relatively empty because we were there at 1pm on a Monday, so we enjoyed sitting at a table right up against the window overlooking the duck pond. Sure, the theme might be a little overdone, but it was certainly better than sitting under fluorescent lights at a fast food chain on the side of the highway. The food: delicious. I had the chicken bacon ranch wrap (which was filling but actually surprisingly fresh and didn't make me feel gross), and the fries were some of the best I've ever had, no joke. I'm usually not the biggest fan of french fries: they're either too bland or just too unhealthy, but I'm glad I have Brady's a try because they actually tasted like potatoes (!!), weren't drenched in salt, and went very well with the delicious honey mustard. Only complaint was there were more skins on my plate than I would like. Oh, and dessert? The mudslide brownie sundae, was phenomenal. Tasted deliciously homemade (no store bought brownie nonsense) and big enough to share between two, although I could have finished it myself :) The service: Our waitress was a young woman who didn't say much (maybe shy) but nevertheless an excellent server, very accommodating and efficient, and it certainly helped that the food was quick due to there not being many people there. And yes, feeding the ducks is fun. Overall, we were very glad we drove the two miles up the road from the exit to get the experience. Good food, good times. read more

Best experience of our long weekend in the area. My husband and I travel to eat, and this spot can't be missed. It is the quintessential classic American restaurant. It is the little things that they did well that many establishments miss this days... like heating up the marinara sauce for dipping and bringing hot rolls. Everything was fantastic from the food to the well maintained physical location. They've been serving for over 55 years, here's to 55 more! Shout out to our server, Shannon, who was amazing! We had fried zucchini, hot meatloaf sandwich, hot turkey dinner, and banana meringue pie! read more

The fish had water in it the lasagna also was wet the server was so nice though i would recommend going to into the fire instead it's a great restaurant but Brady's just isn't that good the order I recommend from Brady's is country fried steak it's the only ok thing there read more

I'll give you 5 stars for your food because it is excellent. However, I was very disappointed today. My husband and I went for lunch and had a great meal. But right before we left, a really big saw fell off the wall and smacked me on the arm. It did hurt and it cut my arm (small cut but still there was blood). A waitress ( not ours) came over and said " when you move, I'll pick that up". No " are you ok? Did you get hurt? ". The only one to ask me if I was ok was the table next to us. We will go back but won't sit near the wall! read more

This place is so amazing!!! Staff is so friendly and is always in an upbeat mood! I went with my dad for Father's Day. I ordered the Cinnamon French Toast which was soooo good. My father got the Hot Roast Turkey and he said that it was really good and worth the money. My dad and I really enjoyed this resteraunt! I highly recommend it! read more

We were just stopping through town and found this little place from our hotel's front desk. The food was good, the service was quick, but the best part was the staff. We had a really lovely waitress and she made sure we were well taken care of. I would recommend solely on our sweet waitress. The food was delicious home cooking too. read more

A local recommended this place for dinner. Service was great. Food was delicious and was at my table very quickly!

Always amazing never had any issues with any food I've ordered. Great service as well

First visit today and loved it! Easy access off PA turnpike. Great atmosphere, great friendly service, delicious food. Sandwiches were delicious. Fries could have been crispier but were the homemade type. They also bake homemade pies every morning. Although we were full, we got pie to-go! Defiantly a great place to eat! Highly recommend! read more

I'm sure reading reviews you noticed the definite "locals vs. travelers" vibe....Well, I'm a local who is embarrassed by the attitudes of other listed here (more on that later) First off, the ONE STAR rating is because of the cleanliness of Brady's & ridiculously slow service. Both issues have gotten progressively worse to warrant this rating. Take a seat, hope you're distracted enough by the duck pond view & country decor to NOT NOTICE the air return ducts in the ceilings and the ABSOLUTE FILTH on ceiling surrounding them. Look up at any grill in dining ceiling, above salad bar or bathrooms!!! But don't breathe deep & cover your food cause that nasty air is circulating everywhere. Bathrooms are so bad, use the McDonalds gas station instead!! Check out ceiling grills here too. There are local seedy taverns with bathrooms in better shape. Bathroom doors don't even close - NO PAPER TOWELS, So I assume the servers hands are as clean as the air quality. Why hang signs that all food servers must wash & dry hands when you can watch the teenage waitresses leaving bathroom wiping hands on their jeans/hips. CHEAP, CHEAP, cheap!!! Automatic paper towel dispensers control costs & your customers would appreciate the option over that stone-age air hand dryer!!! Save your $$$ & don't bother with the Stewart's Rootbeer varieties. They are attractively displayed on a shelf BEHIND the salad bar, but they serve them right from that NICE WARM SHELF!!! Great, charge me nearly $3 bucks for a single serving WARM ROOT BEER! Thank you ..... I recently stood for 20+ minutes to pick up a $50 take-out order for our office. OWNER HIMSELF stood at cash register discussing weather with another local for the ENTIRE 20+ minutes, did NOT give a crap if I wanted a table or needed help. That weather conversation was priority!!! I finally stepped into waitress station area & flagged down waitress I know to get our order (which was cold of course!) WAITRESS APOLOGIZED FOR THE OWNER (doesn't that beat all!!! ) Owner then checked me out, asked how the tourists are at our business, but never acknowledged my wait or apologized for not getting someone else to get out order faster. We no longer order there for office lunches, that's saying something considering this was my crew's go-to for 1-2 days week!! Back to the attitude of the locals. Brady's illustrates my point perfectly!!!! Our community is fueled by tourists & the chamber of commerce & others work hard to bring that demographic here. Yet many locals need a reality check. Whether directly or indirectly -your paychecks come from the tourist flow as well!!! Would you prefer tourists travel to Somerset? There are MANY better lodging & dining options there, so be careful what you wish for!!! Brady's is making a killing off the tourist trade but not bothering to spend anything on even basic maintenance OR cleaning. ? ?? How's the kitchen if they don't care to clean where customers can notice the dirt??!!! And customer service doesn't thrive if even an owner's attitude is sorely lacking. I hope it turns around, used to be a local gem. But someone needs to take a hard look at things as they are now. read more

A classic family owned restaurant. I've been here many times over the years and I know exactly what to expect. The decor is western PA to a tee complete with deer heads and fire places. They have a decent menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Service is always solid. The food is good, not fine dining, but never disappointing. I prefer them for breakfast or lunch as opposed to dinner. I would recommend dessert if you have room for it, as the pies are pretty good. Prices are very reasonable. You also have the added bonus of taking an old loaf of bread with you and feeding the ducks at the ponds after dining especially if you have kids. Free wifi while drinking coffee in the morning is a new touch. read more

Sweet potato flapjacks.... if it weren't for these, I would have to rate this place is a 2. Stopped in to get some brunch before departing back to Boston. It was standard diner food and atmosphere. It looked like they had a brunch buffet deal going for Sunday, but since I fear buffets I avoided this set up. Otherwise the service was pleasant and prompt, and I left here with a new inspiration to recreate sweet potato flapjacks. read more

This place is quick and efficient. This is a nice place to stop in and eat. The breakfast we grabbed here had good flavor. My issue with this place was they served lukewarm (nearer to cold than hot) sausage gravy and biscuits. The bacon was good and the food came out in under 10 minutes which is helpful when one has three little ones. The coffee was hot and decent as well. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying their pie. This was the place recommended by our hotel and I can see why. It has a large interior and wonderful view of ducks at a pond. Definitely choose this place over Howard's Cafe. If my sausage gravy was hot then this place is at least 4 stars. read more

We were staying at a bland Day's Inn down the road and wanted a breakfast spot with a little local color. The hotel recommended Brady's and it was just what we were looking for. Funky duck hunting decor, old school look to the place, friendly waitresses and lots of local folks having big breakfasts and saying hi to their friends. We had the eggs, hash browns, toast and it was all fine. Nothing amazing, but reasonably priced and just what we were looking for. Can't vouch for the rest of the day's menus, but it was great for an all-American breakfast. read more

Brady's Restaurant - Handpainted sign outside Brady's shows duck hunting theme. - American Near Me - Acme, Pennsylvania

Stopped in here since there really isn't much in Donegal area. Has that outdoor feeling as decor. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was ok...needed more mayo. Portion was decent since I wasnt really hungry. My buddy had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and he said it was good too. Total bill with tip was under 30 bucks so not bad at all. Was really in the mood for a beer but not much in area so was a good backup plan. read more

I dont normally leave terrible reviews, but I can honestly say that I had the absolute most disgusting meatloaf ever here! It had the look, taste (presumably), and smell of canned dog food. I even had my friend taste it to see if my taste buds were maybe messed up or something. She concurred! It was really bad. The waitress never asked how are food was and when she took our plates I told her it was bad. She never acknowledged the statement. I will definitely never spend my money there again. read more

My husband and I have eaten at Bradys several times. The food is ok. The ducks are neat but once the seating area where you can actually see them was closed off. Really? The service is average and.......Mike, the owner is the unfriendliest , if that's a word, man I ever met. He seems to walk around and say hello to some folks, regulars, I presume. When my husband finally made eye contact with him as he was walking past our table and we attempted to ask him a question about salad bar.... he gave us a quick nod and moved on. Seriously?? We had tried to be nice to him when paying our check at a previous visit. Nothing. We are done. Lots of places nearby. I guess if your not a local you are not welcome here. Don't go. read more

Every single time I eat here, I am satisfied. This place is a must for all tourists and people who are from the area.

Great food! Great staff! Had the gravy and biscuits and I've had my share of gravy and biscuits. These biscuits were succulent and the gravy was tasty! read more

This breakfast was highly underwhelming. All the locals in the town were there but that didn't mean anything. My sausage had no flavor, my "home fries" were slices of cold unflavored potatoes and the cinnamon French toast had an unexplainable horrible flavor (think week old dish rag) along with also being cold. My boyfriend had the country fried steak and the gravy had a grits appearance and was very bland! The coffee was very watery. Don't go! read more

Brady's is always a decent place to eat! Stop here when I'm in the area, most recently with my 4 young cousins! The waitress never got irritated as my cousins were tired and throwing fits(ages 8,6,4,2) all the food was good and really give kudos to the waitress. read more

We stopped here while traveling for a wedding. The food was very good. One of us had breakfast the other lunch and both were fantastic. The service was good. Very friendly. The place is reminiscent of an old cabin with the decor. But everything was very clean and neat. Was a great find on our way through! read more

Great Breakfast! Good prices all in the beautiful laurel highlands

After reading these reviews, I had to say something. I have stopped here in my travels for years. Hands down the BEST coconut cream pie you will ever eat. I buy a whole pie to bring home. As far as the food, it's ok. Good portioned breakfasts and lunch. I have never eaten dinner here. read more

Loved the food. Very reasonable price and staff was very friendly. They were very accommodating. Had a lot of selection. The kids meals are very big. read more

Great little spot just off the Turnpike and totally worth stopping. Fresh homestyle food!

En route back from a road trip from a touristy place Brady's was a pleasant surprise and a fantastic deviation from the touristy food we ate (pizza and fries). The menu is large enough to please all kinds of palates of all ages. Their bread rolls come out warm and based off the smell, good enough for me to get off my gluten free diet. I had a chicken cranberry salad which was not only delicious (chicken was so tender), but it was also HUGE. Steak and mushrooms was good too. When looking at all the entrees at our table and others, it seems as though all the portions are large enough for a hearty eater or for two people to split. The decor is dated but that's what makes it so down home comfortable! They are also very patient and good with kids so it's extremely family friendly. On our way out, multiple waitresses let us know there were old bread rolls to feed the ducks out back. That was the highlight for the kids and it helped distract them from a "no dessert" meal since we had so much junk food days before. (We did not look at the desserts so we have no opinion on the desserts at Brady's) I wish I lived closer because I would take my family often as I believe it is a guaranteed hearty and good meal! read more

Stopped for breakfast, packed parking lot, yet lots of tables available inside. Breakfast buffet was great. Had all the staples. Would go back. read more

This place is awesome. Great prices compared to what's around near the resorts and the food is top quality. From hand cut fries to interesting sandwich combinations. And the view isn't bad either. Definitely will be coming back next time I visit. read more

Really wanted to like it, and expected to like it, but the food just didn't measure up. The turkey dinner was very bland -- not much flavor, gravy thin, stuffing mostly just bread, potatoes plain. One of had a decent sandwich, but french fries were only half cooked. On the other hand, we really enjoyed the pond and ducks outside the window... read more

Stopped here en route home from Ohiopyle. Great service, great food. Ordered a traditional breakfast and everything was great. Also, nice views of the duck pond out back. read more

Good food at decent prices. If your some snooty tourist who is used to eating hormone injected slop that's full of who know's what, then don't come here. The meet is locally raised and some of the fish is from right up the road. The people who own this place are decent hardworking people who give allot to local charities. The original owner was a hard working business women who employed 100's of people in the area and never turned someone down in need. My family fell on hard times many years ago and Mrs. Brady was always willing to help us out and even brought us christmas gifts one winter when my wife passed away. The night she delivered the gifts, my children and I watched her through the candlighted window as she walked over 30 yards in her work dress through a snow drift to bring my kids a christmas ham and I'll be damned if I will stand for some jerk with a smartphone disparage her and the business she created. This place serves good food at decent prices. IF you want something fancy, then go up the highway . The Brady's don't need your cash. Excuse me, you people with your bad reviews probably pay with credit cards because you spend your paycheck before it came in. read more

if i could give this place a big fat 0, i would. stopped in for a meal after visiting the area. not only was the food subpar, but we witnessed a blatantly racist display after a family of color left the restaurant (the only people of color in sight) and waitstaff proceeded to dramatically spray air freshener/sanitizer all over the place, scrubbing down the chairs...never in my LIFE have i seen this happen after customers leave their table and they certainly didn't do the same when white people left their tables after dining. then, noticing that one of the people in the party forgot an article of clothing, staff carried it holding it out in front of them pinched between their fingers like it was a dirty tissue and was obviously disgusted by it for lord only knows what reason. when management was told, you could tell he truly didn't care. absolutely horrific. read more

Huge portions of fresh home made food at very reasonable prices in a comforting atmosphere with friendly efficient service

THIS IS THE BEST HOMESTYLE FOOD IN ALL OF THE EAST! No actually it was delicious. I had country fried steak and eggs covered in gravy. YUM!! I also tried two of the four soups at the salad bar! Mushroom and chili. They were really good too!!! And lastly I had their famous coconut cream pie! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! The service was great and everyone is so friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BRING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!! read more

This place had terrible service. My fries came out cold and I asked for some fresh ones. They just put the old ones back in the frier so they came out overdone and my grilled cheese wasn't even cooked. Save your money or go somewhere else. read more
