Above average BBQ. Bit of a drive in the small New Baltimore. Meat fall off the bones. If you don't want to take the time to do your own, this good replacement.

Having a son who competes on the southern BBQ circuit, we were interested in seeing how a BBQ restaurant in Michigan would compare. Surprisingly, Bad Brad's BBQ does a pretty good job on their food. My favorite is the brisket, but their pulled pork, chicken, and side dishes are good eating, and you can't go wrong with any of your... More

We eat at Brad's once in awhile and it is good. They recently changed some things on the menu which makes it a little more expensive but still reasonable. The chicken nachos are the best!

I was looking forward to this place, but worried about the wait on a Friday evening. Not a very big place, but it has a lot of character. Stacks of wood everywhere give it a good feel of a smokehouse. After 20 minute wait, or about half of a large mason jar of Atwater beer, we were seated in huge... More

I would give this a 3+ rating. Four of us went to try Bad Brads BBQ this past Saturday. We arrived just before 6:00, so there was a wait. We were told the wait would be 45-60 minutes. I think we only waited about 35 minutes. Not too bad. The only problem with the wait, is there isn't a lot... More

Bad Brad's is a good, not great, BBQ restaurant. As of 2013, it's probably the best restaurant in New Baltimore, which isn't saying much. They are a big fish in a small pond. If you seek better BBQ, the choices in the Metro Detroit area are abundant but you will have to drive to get it. BB's recently opened up... More

This was the worst BBQ I've had since moving to MI eight years ago! My children didn't even want to eat it. I'm going to take something for my stomach now. Such a waste of money. I gave my kids some Fruit Loops to help get the horrible taste out of their mouths.

Bad Brad’s is in an out of the way location just outside Downtown New Baltimore. The building has the spot-on look of a top notch barbeque restaurant. While the parking lot could use a lot of work, the outside dining space is a really nice option during good weather. When you walk into the front of the facility, the first... More

Generous portions, made fresh, their own recipe, even their own chips! Pricing is fair, you can easily find coupons. Atmosphere in the diner is fun and cosy. Great food!

We have been here two times, this most recent time we took our family that was in from out of town...they loved it here just as much as we do! Everytime we have been there we have had great service. Every dish and side ordered has tasted delicious (and we have tried quite a few different things...except for the ribs,... More
