Bad Brad's -b-q - Stillwater

I would say this place was BAD but… I don’t think BRAD would approve. (Sorry I couldn’t resist) This place is great! My Turkey Sandwich was great! Some of the decor was Yukon related and that was pretty cool. All of staff here are very friendly and service was quick.

I have a few things to mention about food and service. The food overall was good but there were a couple issues and personal opinions. The ribs were 'gristly ', my son didn 't finish. It was a bit pricey to spend on a small gristly portion. We didn 't know until later or I would have mentioned it while there. He did really enjoy the potato salad though. My husband loved the cornbread, son thought it was a bit too sweet. I liked it also. It was HUGE pieces. My husband got the 3 meat Deluxe Plate and was charged extra for burnt ends although there was no mention of an upcharge on the list. He enjoyed his food. He said the sausage was a bit dry but good flavor. He especially liked the beans...a lot. I ordered the nachos, they were good although next time I order them I will ask for extra tomato or pico. I was charged for a side that the server didn 't mention was extra or I wouldn 't have gotten it. She asked me what side I wanted when I ordered my nachos, I didn 't see that it came with a side but she said it did. I ordered the potato salad and gave it to my son. When I looked at the receipt later I saw it as a charge. I was under the impression she was new because of her demeanor, the way she answered questions and tended the table, no refills. Not a huge deal if she is new. Now with service as a whole, all three servers, dropped the ball. There was a couple trying to get their attention several times as all three walked right by them and nobody acknowledged them for a good 10 min. from when I noticed them. The man had to get up and go to them. Yes, they sat themselves BUT, two of the servers were standing right next to them tending another table. They seemed like possible regulars but no excuse. It was NOT busy at all. Not one smile the entire time we were there, nonchalant demeanor, could just be their personality I guess. Oh...wait...we did get a couple quick smiles from our server. We just didn 't get that 'welcome ' feel from the time we walked in. Overall, not a bad experience, just seems like they can benefit from a bit more customer service skills training and situational awareness. We will try again in the future.

UPDATE: Decided to give Brad's another try. Service was MUCH better. Waiter was juggling pre-close but still managed to stay on top things (Alejandro) Dirty fries were good (I won't cry too much that they were out of burnt ends, it was sat night after all) I'll bump the stars from 1 to 4. Gotta try the ribs again before they earn that last star ! Overall a much better experience and I will definitely try them again. Ribs were HORRIBLY overcooked. They weren't fall off the bone tender, they were mush. The potato salad had more density. When I complained the waitress just said huh and walked away. When check arrived she asked if I wanted change. Bill was 14.50 I gave her a 20. Yes I would like my change. Service did not rate a 35% tip. So she brings me a 5$ bill. So she got a 50 cent tip.

We were seated immediately in this nice cool bbq smelling restaurant and asked our choice of drink. Our order was taken and delivered promptly . The ambiance was incredibly like a serene night amongst the stars talking with your mate. We put Brad 's BBQ on the top of our return list. Yukon Oklahoma has a 'Treasure ' with this restaurant for sure.

Great BBQ. Between me and a friend we were making happy noises as we ate. I had the pulled pork with the mild sauce and oh geez it was yum. I wasn’t sure though if I was going to have enough room for the pulled pork, because we ordered pork rinds. OMG the best ever. Atmosphere and service is great. We ate dessert so fast I didn’t get a picture. Cake with ice cream and salted caramel.
