Beef ‘O’ Brady’s

Food — Sad. I ordered veggie pizza, ‘no cheese at all’ and our server punched in the order correctly. The order came out with cheese and cheese sauce — garlic Parmesan. Sent it back and got a miserable, undercooked pizza in return.
Service — Eh. Good at the bar, but kitchen doesn’t really put any effort into the food.
Ambiance — Weird. Very bright inside.
Overall, there are better local food options for this vegan. I might return for happy hour.

This is the absolute worst Beef O Brady’s that I have been to. And I gave it 3 chances. I’m not sure who has been cooking their food over the past year but they shouldn’t be allowed to cook. On two different occasions I ordered chicken wings and received them bloody on the inside and uncooked. Can you believe I gave them another chance? I went back the third time avoiding chicken and ordered a medium cooked hamburger, bit into it and it was completely raw. I am happy to say I will no longer risk my health by eating at this poorly ran establishment. I will however visit other Beef o Brady locations.

Bad service… correction No service. Very dirty, nobody cleans the tables off. Food looks like it’s been on the tables all day.

There are 2 rules at Beef O’ Brady’s.
1. Order the Hot wings (they are not that hot and they are the best wings anywhere ever)
2. Go with the curly fries (because straight fries are boring)
Known by Brandon locals as «Beef’s», those of us that were born and raised in the Brandon area are extremely loyal to these Hot wings.
Born in 1985 on Kings Ave in Brandon, this now famous family owned sports bar makes the wings Tampa grew up on. In fact locals loved the wings and atmosphere here so much, they took it with them when they left Brandon and Beef O Brady’s are now franchised all over America. The original location is a very small Bar decked out in sports memorabilia and TVs to watch sports on. It is an old dark bar with one small bathroom stall. The Beef’s in Riverview, which is the location this review is for, is a much different Bar. It is much more family oriented then the original location. While the menu is the same, it is a large bar with plenty of seating, plenty of light and really clean. There are multiple Bathroom stalls, more TVs and the waitresses are a little more friendly because they don’t have favorite customers. There is also a large video game area for the kiddos.
The menu has expanded a lot since the 80’s and now includes everything from Ribs to Pizza. They now have several different wing flavors (over 10) but the recipe for hot wings has stayed the same. You can choose to order wings and split them into 2 diff flavors. We usually go for Hot and Garlic Parm but I am also a fan of the Sweet Jalapeño. Every once in awhile I venture away from wings. Blackened chicken tacos are good (you have to ask them for blackened, its not on the menu). The Roast Beef Garlic Melt is famous. I have yet to try the pizza. I usually do get a side salad and I always find it to be one of the best garden salads I ever had. Fresh, crisp lettuce with cheese, tomatoes, chopped cucumbers and onion. They always serve the dressing on the side so you can add as much or as little as you want. I have had a bad luck ordering the large buffalo chicken salad, the hot chicken seems to make the lettuce wilt, so instead I always go with a side salad and wings instead and it never fails me.
The food is reasonable priced and they have a kids menu. The kids mac n cheese is Kraft or something similar and my nephews just aren’t impressed with that otherwise they love Beefs. All locations have daily specials every night and one night is kids night. I tend to avoid that night.

Just left there. I took my sandwich home because I needed more mayo on it but the waitress never stopped back to ask if we needed anything. Left the salad on the table because it was drowned soaking wet with dressing. She even shorted us $ 10 change; she was very nice but the food and service were substandard. I though about asking for the manager but why bother? We won’t be going back.

I usually love Beef O Brady’s but I’m not too fond of this location. Service here is great but the quality of food is not up to par. I was craving wings and ordered a dozen with half parmesan garlic and half mild sauce. The parmesan garlic was overly greasy, salty, and drenched the wings. The side salad wasn’t the freshest– the tomatoes were squishy. Probably should have just stuck to wings.

The food here was not good at all. I was very disappointed! ! The shrimp was good, the chicken fingers were okay, the brier sliders were very dry. :-(Maybe if I eat it there rather then order out it would taste better.

Decent pub food with well rounded sports coverage. What else do you need?!

Went for lunch as I was craving a good burger. Tempted by the OMG Burger but with 4 bacon and 4 cheese slices + 12 oz of beef, it was too much. Had the BBQ cheeseburger and it was very good with curly fries. My craving was put down.
My wife had a great garden salad which we shared.
We started with queso and chips. It was served quickly and was very tasty.
Service was great, the place was quiet for 1pm. With all of the TVs I am sure the place will be very busy on Saturdays until January.
We live 7 mi away and will return.

Nice spot, we eat here 2 – 3 times a month. Nothing gourmet but food is quality bar foods. Plenty of TVs to watch the game. We use «to-​go» a lot also, order is always right and ready when I get there, typically 15 – 20 minutes.

The food was okay, the standard fried food bar selection but i have to say what made it such a BAD experience was the waitress bugged us constantly by interrupting us to ask if we wanted to order anything else. It began when I sat down– I told her I wasn’t ready to order because I was waiting for my friend to show up before placing an order.
The restaurant wasn’t packed, there were several tables open.
Once my friend arrived, she came over to ask us what we wanted to order before even giving my friend a menu. For the record, my friend and I were looking for a quiet place where we catch up. The bar fit the criteria– it was the waitress’ annoying version of good service that messed it up. At one point, I even said to her– «how about if I wave you down when we’re ready to order anything?» This didn’t faze her– she still persisted.
Beef’s is okay– the one on Falkenburg Drive in Tampa is where I’ll be going– even though the Riverview location is 5 mins from my house.

Food is below average bar food. The server we had very little knowledge of the menu and no knowledge of anything from behind the bar. I feel she got hired, thrown a uniform and told good luck. No manager in sight (I always look for that). LOTS of kids, so if that bothers you avoid it! Couple buddies having beers and eating burgers… then this would be an ok spot. Otherwise, avoid

It was easier to comment on Unilocal than any other way. The manager was busy and only had time to say «Thanks for coming.» The comment cards were not self addressed postage paid so I would have to fill it out there. Unfortunately, no pens were available at the register. Let’s see if they read Unilocal.
The reason for commenting — it will be a long time before I return for weekday lunch. From order to food, 30 minutes passed. The only excuse given was a large party was seated before my arrival. That happens. But what was particularly chaffing was that when I earlier requested a substitution on a special, I received a «we can’t do that.» So I had to be flexible accommodating their slow service and they could not be flexible with my reasonable request.

Nice local spot. I have been here three times. Thus far good service every time. The servers are young but on top of things. The specials are a very good deal. Monday $ 4.99 burger & fries is well worth it. It is a chain/​franchise, I like to support small business, still trying to find out more about the ownership. So far so good!

I was pleasantly surprised. We wanted to watch Sunday football. We tried another place and they were packed. We were lucky to get the last table at Beef’s. They have nice variety on the menu. Our waitress was great. She was super busy but still made sure all of her tables were taken care of. They had beer pitcher specials for 6.99. Everything was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

Sports bar with great service

Just like almost every other beefs. This one has an area for kids to play and TVs are visible from every place I’ve ever been seated. The food is pretty much the same. You can’t go wrong with the wings.

Some of the most basic tasteless food I’ve had. Wings are great but otherwise don’t bother. Loud. I don’t think they know what spices are.

This Beefs has never let us down. Unlike some of their other locations that have small over cooked wings or tasteless food. This place seems to stray away from their counterparts and do things right! We have banned other nearby Beefs locations but continue to return to this one!
