Beef ‘O’ Brady’s

Have been there many times and had good food and service. However, my visit tonight with a group was anything but. They were obviously understaffed and it showed. Several members of the group had to leave the event room and go up front to hunt down a server to place their orders. When the food did finally start coming out, the quality was not there. My wife’s Mediterranean Salad was practically inedible. My food came out cold and undercooked. To top it off, the manager had an «oh well» attitude. This company I’m sure does not tolerate this level of poor quality food and service at their restaurants. The management needs to take a look at this location.

Not impressed with their food for groups. The quesadillas were not even warm. Chips dumped out on a tray with a styrofoam cup partially filled with salsa. The salad looked ok. It gave the overall impression that they don’t really care about their business. I consider this a failure of management as what I saw today reflects on how they run the business. Did they consider that people who attend group events may be future customers? Despite all that, the service bringing and refilling drinks was good.

Went here with my gf and really enjoyed ourselves. The server was nice and checked up on us a couple times. There was only about 5 parties in the entire restaurant so it wasn’t busy by any means. We had the chicken tender basket with curly fries and the philly cheesesteak. The beer was fresh and poured correctly. The chicken tenders were some of the juiciest tenders I ever had. The philly cheesesteak was also good. The food took a bit longer than I expected to come out given the small crowd but it was all cooked to perfection. Great experience.

Went for wings with my son, he is 8.
Restaurant was just opened and had that stale bar smell to it.
Food was just okay. Wings were hot and slathered in sauce, but the service is what lacked. She took a long time to greet us, get our order and get us our food. When the order arrived, it was wrong.
She fixed it quickly, but for the price and the quality of service, I will likely go elsewhere in the future.

did this. me and my friend a 70 year old salon owner headed in here for an NFL game one sunday. we had just left the dollar general store getting some important products for his salon… I knew that I had this bookmarked and was somewhat eager to check this place out, I thought for sure that my friend would enjoy fried mushrooms. but they didn’t have any. I ordered the nachos, and they sucked!
I still give this place four stars because its better than the Nachos they have to offer.
its got plenty of televisions and has good lighting.

Slow Slow Slow, Management needs to do a better job staffing this place. Poor waitress is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Way understaffed.

Bottom line — This focuses exclusively on the merits of the wings today and twice over the past 2 months. When it comes to Chicken Wings, Beef O’ Brady’s used to be better.
Our server was fantastic. That’s important to point out. What’s more, I sized up the other servers as being on their games. They were congenial and swift about the floor.
We ordered 18 wings three-​ways, and I specifically requested «Flats» (I learned long ago that when properly «harvested», these are far easier to eat than the drums). ¹⁄₃ Mango Habanero, ¹⁄₃ dry rub (not the lemon pepper one, the other one) and ¹⁄₃ «Beef’s version of Buffalo». To top it off, I got «Nuclear» on the side**
They came to us pretty quickly, but let-​down #1 was that it was a combo of flats & drums. Not a HUGE deal, but nonetheless…
let-​down #2 was the tired nature of the wings themselves. It was most apparent with the dry-​rub. There was virtually zero-​moisture within the wings. This made for a somewhat chalky feel in the mouth. It wasn’t attributed to the dry-​rub (which, actually, I enjoyed) because below the slathered buffalo sauce of the 2^nd set, I noted they were shriveled wings as well. That, naturally, meant the Mango Habanero wings were dry.
I remember enjoying Beef’s chicken wings. They once were vibrant. you could look at them and know they were good.
It doesn’t take too much detective work to identify the locally owned restaurants that offer GREAT wings along with the experience that wings generally are part of (pitchers of beer, large screens televising sports). If THOSE places are packed, because you got there too late, then you come here. OR, you come here because your out-​of-​town College OR Pro team has a club that meets here to watch together, and here’s where you folks come.
To this Beef O’ Brady’s franchisee — I’d suggest focusing on getting back to the original concept Jim Mellody had for quality food! I know you can do better than this. Just remember, folks are becoming more and more adventurous and depending less and less on the familiarity of chains for their experiences, and Tallahassee has plenty of awesome sports venues that offer wings that blow these away. It doesn’t have to be that way.
**Beef O’ Brady’s, I must commend you on your Nuclear sauce. It’s SO damned good AND hot, all at the same time! Without a doubt, this is the hottest wing sauce I’ve had in town. There’s no question you win in the «hot & flavorful» arena! Incidentally, this is how you rounded UP to a 3!).

We came in on a Saturday night and slid right in on some seats at the bar. To our surprise there was not a dedicated bartender on a Saturday night. On top of that there was a large party in the back room that took our pseudo bartenders attention away from us a lot. But others did help her out and grab us drinks when needed etc. the party was far larger than expected (were nosy and asked what was up) the party was just getting their food so it was hectic but we did not want to order food right away so no big deal. If it weren’t for the service I would rate my experience much lower but everyone was very friendly and helpful. We got the Brady’s chips first and they were ok, hardly any bacon on them. The little amount of bacon on them was actually clumped up on one or two chips. The wings were good, nothing special. But even well after the parties food was out, items still took a long time as opposed to what they should take. 10 min appetizers that should be 5 – 6 min. The wings were a little better in timing. Unfortunately it wouldn’t be a place we could go as a family right now because our two year olds attention span would not outlast their ticket times.
If I could suggest something I would require the back room parties preordering their food or setting up catering style any time it’s used over 20+ people unless you are going to have servers dedicated only to the party and then have your floor staffed as well. The fact the party added on 20+ people past their 50 original guests really made the night rough on all the staff. More rules to reserving the back room might alleviate that issue.

I have been a Beef o Brady’s fan for a long time but I had THE WORST service I have ever had at this location. After not putting our order in right we waited another hour and still did not have our food with NO a half hearted apology and still no food.

I can usually overlook poor service when a place is busy on a football night but in this case, the place was dead. We ordered and only half of our food came out, after a 45 minute wait. After letting the manager know, we continued to wait but the rest of our order never arrived. When I asked about it, the staffed laughed and mocked us. I have been a Beef’s wings fan forever. Unfortunately this is our last trip to this location. Not just because of the speed, but because of the attitude.

I always enjoy going to beefs. Usually for the wings and blue cheese YUM but yesterday I got the grilled chicken salad with blue cheese and mild sauce. It was very good and I ate it all. My husband got the steak nachos. I thought they were very light on the sour cream and salsa as the basket was HUGE but I would hope they would bring more without charge if asked. Hr didn’t ask. He ate all of them. Every crumb. Of corse he was useless for the next 3 hours. My son got the double pepperoni personal pizza. It looked beautiful the crust was beautiful. I found it odd that he really wasn’t eating it. Especially since it seemed so thin and small I was sure he would need more good. Turns out it was awful. I mean really bad. I didn’t taste the crust but the meat and cheese topping was awful. Stay away from it!
I think historically my favorite thing about beefs is there blue cheese dressing but yesterday it seemed different. Not as flavorful and maybe to many poppy seeds or whatever those black seeds are. I’m really hoping it was a bad batch. Otherwise we may stop going there for wings.
The staff yesterday was a bit overly helpfull. I swear she asked if we were still doing well 5 times in a half an hour. Disrupted conversation repeatedly.
Overall I like it but I’m on the fence if this will continue to be out go to wing place. Wild wings seems to be pulling ahead.

Wow, I would review the food if we had gotten any. After ordering a pizza and salad we waited an hour and no food, not even a salad. We ask and 15 minutes later we got a salad and no dressing. After waiting some more no waitress no dressing no pizza. I wish I could say it was busy but there were only 3 tables filled. We got up and left.

This is a decent sports bar chain, good for taking in a game and eating some pub fare. This particular restaurant is no different from most «Beef’s» outlets, though it is a bit smaller than most. They have enough TVs to show every game you’d want to see on Sunday, but only a handful of big TVs, and none at each table as some places have.
The restaurant is clean and the service is normally pretty prompt. If you’re not familiar with Beef’s food, it is not Irish at all (as the name might suggest) but a basic selection of burgers, sandwiches, and wings. Most of the food is good, but it’s not incredible. My favorites are the boneless wings and the Philly cheese steak.
Prices are affordable, you can expect to spend between $ 7-​$ 10 a person with a drink.
All-​in-​all, this is an «OK» place to eat, but there are better burger joints in Tallahassee AND better sports bars, so try Beef’s for yourself but chances are you already have a similar place you’ll prefer.

The only reason we visited here was because «Kids Eat Free», which was appealing to the family we came with. Besides this minor perk of free mac & cheese, the place serves subpar food that deserves to be avoided. The Chicken and Rice plate was worse than anything you could prepare back in your college days – overcooked and void of any flavor. The salad might as well come served on the bag they pulled it out of. The only reason anyone seems to frequent this establishment is because it’s ‘family-​friendly’, which is a nice way of saying ‘cheap and low-​quality’.

I bring my kids here so they can eat and I can watch football. Nice family atmosphere and good wings. Kids meals are fairly priced.

I came here this past week to watch UFC fight. Since the FSU football game was on at the same time, the UFC fight was shown in the back room which was absolutely freezing. I asked our waitress if she had any control over the thermostat, and she brought over a space heater next to my table. How nice! I must agree with the other reviewer, though… my friend’s nachos were unappetizing. My sandwich was overall pretty tasty though.

I second this word of warning! My roommate and I once stopped by here to watch a game or something. I’ve had infinitely better salads at airport bars, and my roommate’s «nachos» made her have what I like to describe as a devil’s miscarriage. On the upside, whenever I’m feeling pissy with said roommate I can now just threaten her with an ominous «see you at Beef’s!»
