“Slow at the drive thru”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013 via mobile

I arrived when no one else was at the drive thru, placed my order, and waited 20 minutes for my order. 1/2 slab wet ribs, 1/2 side baked chicken, and a banana pudding. I was asked to pull forward and watched at least 3-4 others order, rec'v their food and drive off. For no more then what I ordered it... More

“Take out”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2012

My husband had a craving for BBQ. We have driven by Brad's BBQ many times and never stopped to try their BBQ. Fortunately, he was headed home and decided to get Brad's. He brought home ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, onion rings and fries. (he was starving) Everything was very good. The ribs were tender and the sauce had a vinegary... More

“Eaten here many times and it has always been good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

I have no ideas where the negative reviews come from but to each their own. My wife and I have lived in Oakland for the past 3 years and eat here at least once a month. We have gotten everything from the BBQ sandwich to the BBQ baked potato and nothing has ever been bad. The banana pudding is also... More

“Terrible Food Experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2012

Just plain AWFUL food. Nothing and I mean nothing, is any good. If this place was located in Memphis, it's doors would have already been closed. It's the only bbq gig in Oakland and that about explains it. We moved to Oakland over the past year and have tried Brads 3 times. As they say, the 3rd time is the... More

The service I got was beyond excellent and I really felt at home. I was shocked to see the other negative comments because I've never had a... More

“HORRIBLE SERVICE & MGMT... BBQ A DISAPPOINTMENT”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

Maybe this place survives because its the only BBQ place in town and their food is "ok" at best but the service and management attitude is HORRIBLE. Waited over 15 minutes for a server to come to our table at 5pm on a weekday (only two other people in the restaurant at the time) and another 25 mins to get... More
