I know I've been talking about Bradley's BBQ a lot lately, but I can't help it. ❤️ Every time I go, I'm reminded why everyone has been so excited for them to open.
I got to stop by for their official opening celebration, and it was such a fun evening . I happened to catch a little break in the crowd, so I got to watch the team in action, snap some pictures, and just take it all in.
Issy was keeping the bar running smoothly, the staff was smiling through a busy day, and the food... well, if you've eaten there, you already know. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and order the hash and rice. I'm still thinking about it.
Tom Reed had everyone enjoying the evening with great live music, and it really hit me watching the room. Brad and Havrid Usry have a special way of bringing people together. Whether you're meeting friends after work, bringing the family to dinner, or just looking for a great meal, they've created a place where people want to stay awhile, visit, laugh, and enjoy each other's company.
Downtown Augusta is lucky to have them.
If you haven't been yet, make plans to go. Grab a table, order way more food than you think you need, and see what everyone has been talking about. I promise you'll already be planning your next visit before you leave. ❤️
