The bbq was delicious. We loved the ribs, pulled pork, taco trio, brisket and chicken. The sides we had (baked beans, fries, and onion rings) were also wonderful. The blackberry cobbler was an amazing dessert. The owner and the staff were friendly and gave us great advice for places to see while we are here in Kentucky. We truly enjoyed our visit and will be back next time we are in Lancaster.

We drive 30 minutes, one way, almost every week to eat here. We love the food and we live the Bradford's.

Omg, best hidden secret and it's right around the corner from my farm in Danville. They better get use to seeing us! Had a spiked cider and a beer, both were amazing! Had the pulled pork plate with onion rings and potato salad; best potato salad I have ever had! My daughter had the pizza and a side of Mac and cheese; both were amazing! The atmosphere was great and so was the service. We sat out in the patio and watched the sun set over the valley.

I have to admit, pulling up to this restaurant it looked very strange to me. The first thing you see walking up to the restaurant are the bathrooms. We had a cute little puppy lead us to the side of the building that is the main entrance. The restaurant is casual and super small. It appeared they are renovating the patio. I also noticed they had a very nice selection of local draft beer. If I drank beer, I'd be super stoked to see that. Now to the important part, THE FOOD. We ordered a starter. I don't remember what it was called but it was basically house chips topped with brisket and cheese sauce. It was a nice big portion and very good! The smoked meats were DELICIOUS. I ordered the brisket, it was perfect. Also ordered at my table were the ribs and a cheeseburger. Both were said to be fantastic. Things we did not like was the slaw and the smoky sauce. We will definitely return to enjoy the great BBQ and patio!

Great stop for lunch on our way bourbon tasting. We had the Pork and Brisket plates with baked beans, slaw, potato salad, and the Mac & cheese. The Pork was cooked perfectly and extremely moist. This may be the best potato salad I've ever had! Highly recommend to stop in for lunch and drinks!

Well I was looking for a quick and easy barbecue meal, Bradford BBQ does not disappoint! I got the brisket and an order of the pulled pork as burgers plus the beans, potato salad, mac & cheese and the green beans. All amazing! It's a pity that these guys don't have as many reviews as of 10/9/2021, I only did takeout so I can't speak to their bar atmosphere but from what I saw it looks very professional and well-stocked with all kinds of lovely things. Would recommend five out of five definitely go check them out if you're looking for a decently priced BBQ joint.

Ate here a year or so ago and thought the food was amazing. Came back to sadly the worst BBQ we have ever had. They only give you to go containers. Side cups were about half full. It's obvious the Mac and cheese and French fries are not homemade. Green beans smelled rotten. Ribs and brisket were both tough but otherwise would have had some potential flavorwise. The bathrooms were the most disgusting I have ever seen in a "restaurant". Women's restroom didn't even have a functioning light.

I'd like to include a pic of the food but we were too busy inhaling! I got the taco trio (liked the pork and chicken best - not so much the Kahlua pork w pineapple slaw) with a side of fried cabbage. The cabbage was fantastic. The better half got dry smoked wings and onion rings. I highly recommend both. The onion rings were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The wings were perfection. He got the tangy and sweet bbq sauce on the side and, although the wings stood on their own, the tangy was a lovely little flavor dip. On a side note, I used the restroom before going in. The better half heard me yelp and was a little concerned... As it turns out, this ball of fur came under the bathroom stall - scared the sh!t out of me (but not literally). Apparently she's their mascot. Verysweet dog.
