    My husband and I ordered dinner. He got a 2 meat plate with pork & bologna and beans and Brunswick stew. It was a lot of food. He said is was good. He also ordered a BBQ sandwich. I got the cheeseburger. It is not a frozen patty. Seems pretty fresh. I also got a size of mac n cheese. It was pretty good. It could of had a little more cheese and be a little creamier, but it was good. Sweet tea was also good. Overall I would recommend to give them a try. We will eat here again.

    BBQ is a art. Come from different regions all over the US. in my opinion, this is a Virginia South Carolina vinegar based barbecue. Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet very appreciative of your business. We were on our way to the lake. Looking to take some pork out to make some sandwiches. One of our friends suggested this place and I'm glad they did. When it up getting a 2 pounds of pork, Texas toast, one chili dog, and one heart attack burger! Everyone gave thumbs up.

    If you visit "Friendly Smoke" Barbecue I'm certain you'll enjoy everything on the menu. Yes, it has its faults, but nothing a few dashes of Hot Sauce won't cure. The most important thing is ... do not ... And I mean do not return home without one of their delicious Smoked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches. Are they as good as the Honey Baked Ham variety? Well, that's debatable, but these are two different Animals and such questions are best pondered as a midnight snack accompanied by a Cold Beer or three.

    Ribs were so tough they couldn't be eaten. Had to take them home and finish cooking them. Management seemed uninterested.

    I haven't been to Covington in a long time. One of the places in the area I really enjoy going to…read moreis Bradley's. This is the Georgia BBQ style I grew up on and I wish we had it in my area, not the national chain. The staff are very friendly and the owners are awesome! The food was fresh off the grill and very delicious. The interior is simple and inviting. If you're in the area you got to give this place a try!!!!!

    REAL Barbeque!…read more Gainesville, Georgia. 11 am. I was headed for Florida. Driving the back roads to avoid the ATL traffic. Interstate ain't for me! Denied breakfast, I heard those familiar low growls from my midsection. I was hungry. But I was looking for something special. For lunch. NO fast food. NEVER! NO chain restaurants. NOT this time, bud. I wasn't quite sure what I was in the mood for, but I KNEW I'd KNOW it when I SAW it... It was then I seemed to sense the scentual aroma of slow cooked meat over a real pit. Barbeque! YES! THAT'S what I was in the mood for! At that moment, I was tempted to pull over and do my usual online search. But it was still a little too early for lunch, so I ambled on. Mile after mile after mile. Turns out, I believe I was being led by the nose to Covington. I just felt it. Movie town, here I come. Once in town, that is when I hit the web. I sniffed out a place called Bradley's Real Pit Barbeque. Hmmmm. Let's do it! EXACTLY EVERYTHING I EVER wanted in the way of Barbeque!!! I ordered the Half Rack of Ribs, with fries and beans. What I got was a STACK of RIBS...with those delectable fries and beans. Ribs. The HOLY Grail of the grill. The Fall off the Bone smoky goodness carried me to lip smacking, finger lickin, OHHHHHH YEAH ville! Man! Those ribs! (I AM a rib aficionado. A connoisseur of pit cooking). THESE were no fib ribs. FINER than fine with a huge touch of yum. OHHHHH Yeah. I now LOVE Bradley's. Looking for any excuse to drive north, to Movie town and sit down. Like the Terminator said, "I'll be back!"

    I tried so hard to love this place. You really have no idea. In short, mostly mediocre food…read morecombined with one very shiesty action ruined the experience. I knew I had to stop at Cowboy's BBQ after I passed it a few times while looking at houses in Covington. Some of the best food that you'll find anywhere is often attached to a gas station. The good reviews and smells made me certain this was going to be great. At first glance, prices are amazing [more on this later...]. I ordered the 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs, and smoked chicken. I chose fries and mac n cheese for my sides. The mac n cheese carried an upcharge, but this is reasonably common for places to do. I agree with the one diner who said the brisket was amazing. I really enjoyed the brisket. The fries were also fine thanks how are you? Wish I had more good to say about this place. The ribs were very old and mediocre at best. I understand that food can't be cooked to order at a barbecue place, but even barbecue has a shelf life. The ribs that I was served should've long been chopped into a stew special or something along those lines. The smoked chicken was a disgusting insult. At first, I thought I was mistakenly served an additional side instead of smoked chicken. Unfortunately, their service style is off the bone and finely diced. Storing barbecue meats off the bone is a delicate process. You have to take extra care to ensure that it doesn't dry up in the hot box. Unfortunately, no care was taken, so the chicken was dry and tasteless. The mac n cheese was very low quality. I'll happily pay an upcharge for the good stuff that's baked. I'll grudgingly eat Kraft mac n cheese. I will not pay an upcharge for Kraft mac n cheese. Honestly, all of this would've made the experience probably worth 2 or even 3 stars, but they have an incredibly dishonest, unadvertised upcharge for credit cards. The surcharge is definitely higher than their cost to accept credit cards. Some businesses eat the cost of accepting credit cards. Other businesses pass this cost to the customer. Cowboy BBQ uses this as an opportunity to improve their margins by cheating their customers.
