It was dry and had an odd banana taste, almost like an artificial banana extract was added 2) I didn't like the packaging of my wings, sides of the box were messy, covered in sauce and difficult to eat out of 3) I also didn't like that the fries were thrown in with my sauced wings. Made them sloppy to eat

Let's try to start this on a good note…read more Ambiance - it's a nice place, seems very clean. Very organized. Lots of electronic boards on the wall let you know exactly where you are as far as orders go. I'd give the ambiance a 4 out of 5. Service - been here a few times and I've never had to wait for my order more than 5 minutes. The employees are attentive, nice, and kick the food out pretty quick. I'd give the service 4.5 out of 5. And now... Food - I live wings and I've eaten them from just about everywhere that serves them. I ordered my typical order, 5 buffalo wings and 5 lemon pepper wings with a large fry. The wings, sadly just mediocre. They tasted heavily of fryer oil and the sauce was thin. It didn't stay on the product very well and almost tasted "thinned out". Buffalo wings you should really TASTE the sauce because that's the most important part, the flavor. The sauce didn't have any WOW impact. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. The lemon pepper wings I mostly tasted lemon. Very tart, not the flavor I am used to when eating lemon pepper wings. Again, the wings tasted heavily of fryer oil. When I was done eating my stomach felt off because of the oil taste. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. (Side note: the oil from the wings had seeped through the basket they were in, and through the bag onto my car seat. That's a lot of oil) The seasoned fries. This was my second time ordering them and it was the second time I hardly tasted any seasoning. If you're going to call them "seasoned fries" you should probably be able to taste the difference between a plain order of French fries and seasoned fries. The seasoning seemed rather non-existent. The fries were in fact hot, mostly still crispy when I got home. The homemade ranch really did save them though. I'd give the seasoned fries a 3 out of 5. In a bind, I'd order from there again if it was late and nothing else was open. But it's definitely not a place I'd drive past other wing places to get. There is better out there. Overall: I'd give it 2.5 out of 5

Bad Brad's quality is still top notch, and they must have great management as their servers have been over the top good at each location year after year. It's hard to not complain about pricing in 2026... Brisket (or "premium meats") being added to meals is $3.25 ABOVE the normal price, and they now have "premium sides", which are also served with an upcharge on top of the menu price... I get that there a lot of complexities at the moment, and I'm hopeful that prices will come down in short order as it's really hard to justify ALL of these extra costs. I figured it was a better value this time around to get the 1/2 Chicken and add sliced brisket; sides were mac & cheese and BBQ chowder. Despite my gripes about pricing, this was an exceptional meal!!! The brisket was great as always; not too fatty, not too dry and tender, with a great smoke flavor! Sides were great as always... that BBQ chowder gets me each time and the mac & cheese was HOT, very flavorful and just hit the spot as a perfect comfort food. I took the chicken home with some of the sauces and it was just great as well... Even after being reheated in the air fryer, it was tender and juicy with zero toughness/stringiness. It was a really nice smoked bird! GOOD BBQ is hard to find, but Bad Brad's is still doing it right, even after all of these years!

Today was a disappointment as the price for a 2 piece snack and a coke was $15+. The chicken did not have the flavor I had come to expect, in fact it had a taste of fish, as though it had been cooked in the same oil used for seafood. The first star was for the fries and coke, good but not the reason for dining here.. The second star was for service which was as good as it ever was.

The garlic parm fries were good, but I'm not sure I would get them again, they were really oily. The ranch was really good and I'm happy that the combos come with 2 sauces with no additional charge.
