Went here on a whim. Best decision of the week by far!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I…read moredid the bbq sampler and it was super tasty! The rib was fall off the bone tender. The beefsteak could be but with a fork and was very good. Sides were fresh and hot. Speaking of hot... those hot rolls were amazing!!! I tried a little peach cobbler which was homemade and one of the servers came around and offered homemade whipped cream. OMG it was so yummy!!! The place is a cafeteria style and very clean. There is simple decor on the walls including a wall with a bunch of old rifles from back in the day which is cool. I'd definitely recommend this place (and in fact already have to the group I'm in town with right now). Thank you Underwood's for being here and making my day!

All sides are unlimited and self-serve so you can choose what you like. Many more sides to choose, but ran out of space on the tray! Don't forget to ask for extra cobbler to go!

This is a well established barbecue restaurant that has been here for a long time. From what I've…read morebeen told it's been here for decades which is always a good sign of great food and service. They open at 10:30 am for lunch which is great for an early riser like myself. I was the only customer at this time so service was lightening fast. I ordered two ribs, beans and potato salad. The ribs were huge and had a ton of meat on them. I could barely finish them. I loved the beans too. I love beans of all kinds and these beans were unique.

Today we had a group of 8 eat at Cattleman's. Food was average, not anything special. When we…read morewere clearly ready to leave and hadn't gotten our tickets, I asked the server and she said we could just proceed to the front and they would let us know how much we owed and we could pay. So we each went up and they located our orders, then (using one of those flip-screens where they turn it toward you to add tips and sign), and we never actually got a printed receipt to review before paying. You're presented with a screen with the various possible tip options, where you choose one, then sign and you're done. I got a printed receipt and when we got home I found out what had happened. Had we gotten a printed receipt first, we likely would have noticed that they had already automatically added an 18% tip before presenting the screen to us with the tip options. There was probably something mentioned in the menu about larger groups getting this automatic tip, but certainly nobody at the front mentioned it. So probably our fault, but the way it was handled made us feel like something underhanded had occurred, and we will not be going back to that restaurant. So just be careful if you're going there with a group of 6 or 8, whatever that number is. They definitely didn't deserve a double tip!!

Didn't eat it for safety concerns. The odor of roach feces was present inside the entrance and worse in the men's room!Waitress was good, thus the single star. Too bad this place seems so unconcerned and confused. The good people of Brady deserve a better effort from the pit boss, kitchen and front of the house. Mac's, you can do better.
