We selected sharing ribs and shredded pork, Mac & Cheese and cold slaw. WOW the meat was moist and delicious tasting, even more delicious with Bradley’s vinegar and hot BBQ sauce! (Mouth watering good!!!) The hush puppies were perfectly crunchy on the outside and tasty moist on the inside. Buy extras! We both loved the cashier’s fun personality and hospitality, we recommend this place for the location convenience to the highway, the food AND the people

My favorite BBQ pit stop in Sweetwater. When you want to eat BBQ, Bradley's always a popular choice with group of friends. Yes! They do provide catering services. I highly recommend Bradley's Pit BBQ & Grill. Be sure to save room for their desserts and ice cream shop next door at our Bradley's Sweet Side. They offer inside dining, an outdoor patio dining area and an outside dining area just next door at their ice cream shop complete with swings for little ones. A great family place. But also have a drive-thru to pick-up at the BBQ Pit or for pick-up of delicious ice cream desserts at Sweet Side. Serving burgers and more with hickory smoked meats.

The food here was really good. I was very impressed with all of the food on my plate. The okra didn’t taste overly cooked, like I could taste the okra flavor well. The potato salad wasn’t dripping with sauce, it was just enough to be pleasant to eat and NOT like eating a bowl of soup. The ribs were just falling apart, meat was a little dry but was easy to fix with some bbq sauce. And the hush puppies! They were balls of fried corn bread. The most awesome corn bread you ever eaten, fried in a ball. Those were the best hush puppies I’ve ever had. I spent 25 on the ribs 1/2 plate. They were more expensive but most meals were well under 20. The service was good but nothing stood out that makes me think it was spectacular. They have a really nice place and I’d go back and take lots of people if I can.

Can not say enough good things about this place! The food is outstanding! We loved the smoked Chicken Wings and homemade Ranch dressing. We got the combo plates, the brisket was to die for! The drinks were so yummy! The Piggy Peach Tea was my favorite and my fiance loved the BBQ Bloody Mary! Such good twists on classic drinks. The waitstaff was so friendly! Nettie took great care of us! Almost forgot we also loved the Piggy Colada drink! Such a great adult dessert drink! We will absolutely be back, hands down best BBQ we have had in awhile! I have never seen a restaurant utilize Robot servers, so unique! It brings your meals & takes your dishes! Cozy atmosphere inside, definitely recommend! 5 stars

Very welcoming customer service. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Tater Tots. Food was prepared as I requested and came out quickly. The food was delicious! I would highly recommend this location if you are passing by the exit on the way to Knoxville. The amount of food is great for the price paid. You should give them a try!

We are here now eating. The Brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken is AMAZING! The hush puppies are to die for and the tator tots are too! We will definitely be back when we are out this way and would recommend anyone to stop and visit and eat. Amazing food, amazing people. ANDDDDD, the ice cream store next door that they own, it’s so good! Best ice cream menu I’ve ever seen.
