Brad’s Grill Moves — Stupid “Bridge to Brad’s” Stays

Brad’s Grill — home of the famous Messy Burger — is back where it belongs.  Once again, they’re serving their delicious food at 1856 Thompson Bridge Road in Gainesville.

In 2009, Brad Bryson, owner of Brad’s Grill, moved the popular restaurant from Thompson Bridge Road to Bradford Street in almost-downtown Gainesville.

Some folks say the move was doomed because it was done on the birthday of Brad’s wife, Connie, and in the excitement of the day everyone forgot her birthday.  Ooops.

Discerning diners followed Brad’s Grill, but like ET and Dorothy … the eatery longed for home.

Some folks say politicians wanted Brad’s to stay in almost-downtown Gainesville so much they built an outrageously expensive bridge from downtown to Brad’s Grill.

Alas, the Bridge to Brad’s was not enough to prevent Brad’s from going back home to Thompson Bridge Road.

Sadly, the stupid Bridge to Nowhere is, if possible, more worthless than ever.
