Beef ‘O’ Brady’s

Always great service and is the «cheers,» of the neighborhood. The food is always good and they always have some sort of deal through out the week. I definitely believe that you should give it a shot. Especially if you’re a fan of beer. They now have over 30 beers on tap! «I’ll have another,» is something they have heard me say on more than one occasion.

I can’t tell the number of good times we’ve had at this place over the years. It’s our home town bar. We love all the girls and they always take good care of us. Great draft beers selection (30+) including craft beers from Cigar City and others. Nice bar area and I love the power outlets under the bar to charge your iPhone. They do a great job supporting the local high schools sports teams and youth teams as well. I like supporting the small business owners.

Nice lunch! Had one hiccup with the soup, but it was quickly fixed by the server. Only one server on and she was hustling, but did everything with a smile!

Came in on a Saturday night to order some take out to bring home ahead of the big fight and ordered nachos and an appetizer sampler. For a restaurant that wasn’t very busy, it took about 25 – 30 minutes for the food (2 orders) to be ready. The steak in the steak nachos tasted like they were drenched in salt water for days and the sampler wasn’t very appetizing at all. I would have thought both orders would have right up their alley in the category of «bar» food but I was disappointed…

Very nice food was good
Waitress was nice and polite
Service food coming out slow
Price higher than previous
Very casual

I usually don’t review chain restaurants since everyone’s already got their own opinion on it, but I just NEED to get this out.
Walking in, I told the hostess/​server that we have a party of 10. I swear she didn’t say a word, but grabbed menus, and plopped them on a table, then went on to attend to another table. I was so confused. I wasn’t sure if that was our table or she was just putting the menus down for a sec to help her other customers or what. So I just stood there and waited until she finally came back up to the front and said, «I put menus down here on this table.» Uhh, TERRIBLE SERVICE.
Fortunately, she wasn’t our actual server. That girl was friendlier and better at her job. However, we did wait a while to order, which would make it seem the place was busy, but it really wasn’t. Just understaffed, I guess.
The food at Beef’s is always the same. My lemon pepper wings were tasty, but it doesn’t make up for the horrible first impression. I can get wings anywhere else.

What a disappointment! I’ve dined at this Beef’s several times in the past, but the last two experience have been abysmal. This place seems to be going downhill… and fast. Visited on a Tuesday night (Kids eat free night) and it wasn’t very busy. However, after we were seated it took a good 5 minutes to be acknowledged. They would not honor cards I had for free draft beers in combination with the kids eat free, but it took another 10 minutes to have a manager come and explain this to us.
Fast forward to us finally getting to order food. Waitress comes to table to ask if we need more time. Picture this: 5 year old playing with stack of 4 menus and everyone else twiddling their thumbs. You think we’re ready to order? Uh, yeah. Food took forever. Food was sub-​par. Totally unimpressed. I got the club wrap after sampling it at a recent Unilocal event and it being delicous. It was meh. The rest of my party got the buffalo chicken wrap (yuck), grilled cheese, and macaroni and cheese. Luckily you can’t mess up the kid orders. Took another decade to get our check, and then she walked away before I could hand her my credit card which I already had out on the table. Another 10 minutes passes and she gets my card. I was so ready to get out of that place.
It will be a good while before I step foot in a Beef O’ Brady’s. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Sad, because I know they all aren’t this horrible. But the memory of tonight makes me shudder.

I reluctantly gave this place 2 stars. The food was actually very good. The service was so slow. The first time I went there a couple weeks ago, several empty tables had not been bused rendering a third of the place unusable. Then, it took 20 minutes to get our drinks. I gave it a second try, and this time was even slower. I never saw a manager who cared. I may try another Beef’s somewhere else, but I will not go back to this location.

Only reason I signed up for Unilocal was to write this review. The service at this place is awful! They didn’t even realize we were waiting to be seated. Our waitress got the order wrong. They never came by to see if we needed anything and didn’t even bring appetizer out. I had to get up and get bar tender to get me refill for my son’s dr pepper and to also get the waitress from the back so I could pay for the worst dinner ever experience. Will never go back. This place advertise it is family sports bar but waitress only interested in servicing the male customers. Guess she thought I was not going to tip her cause I went in there with kids. Left feeling so mad and left her a very small tip. I would have left her a penny but my daughter wouldn’t let me. She felt bad for the incompetent waitress.

I was concerned about all the bad reviews that initially popped up when I Unilocaled for Beef O’Brady’s, as I’ve been a «Beefs» fan for some years and have NEVER had a bad experience there.
The Beefs I visited for the first time in Tampa was great. It was early evening and the place was about 75% full. We were seated at a booth in less than a minute. It’s probably the wrong thing to note, but 3 out of 4 of the young waitresses were gorgeous. Wearing tight, black-​and-​white striped referee shirts that bulged in the right places and little black short-​shorts, they spelled certain (or sudden) death for the boyfriend or husband with wandering eyes.
Despite her incredible looks (even the floor manager, dressed in all-​white, was a Valhallan goddess) our YOUNG waitress was kind and competent and did not act coy or seductive, which was good, because at the end of time it’s all about the wings; I love them and «Beefs» does them better than the breastaurants.
Non-​breaded and sold in powers of 8, Beefs has expanded its selection of wing flavors. We ordered 24, eight each of garlic Parmesan, medium wing sauce and a dry rub based on the recipe of one of those beloved fat-a$$ed Cajun chefs.
We ordered an app of curly fries that came out hot and fast, and the wings followed soon after, dangerously hot and delicious. Ours were «bone-​in», of a good size and had plenty of meat on them. Waitress brought us a sample of ‘nuclear’ sauce. Mildly painful and spicy, it was also extremely flavorful, which a lot of super-​hot sauces forget to be.
(Only one complaint other than heartache of leaving Waitress. As Beefs is a sports-​themed establishment, there be TVs on every wall AND in every corner, including over the sink in the john. The problem was the sound on the biggest screen in the dining area was ON, and LOUD).
Be sure to check out the Beef’s website. For non-​wings lovers they do have salads and entrées of all kinds like burgers and buffalo chicken sandwiches.
Pricewise, you’re looking at about $ 12 –15 per person, which ain’t bad. Heartily recommended.

I knew Jim, of the original Beef’s in Brandon. He would have fired everyone in this place. It’s a shame, really. Everything was lousy, service, décor, especially the food. Oh wait — there was one reason I gave it one star… the TVs were big.
Avoid it.

Great service and really quick
