Not only was the service slow, food mediocre, and ambiance dull, but the whole reason we came to Beef's was due to a groupon, that the manager wouldn't honor. After on meal, we presented the waitress with our groupon. She said that the manager told her that they do not except groups. We asked to speak to him and literally 5 minutes later, an arrogant, wee little manager, was very rude and said that the groupon was not for his location and he did not benefit from it, so he wouldn't take it. I told him that it was the whole reason that we came to his franchise and he didn't seem to care one bit. I offered him 3 chances to make it right and at least offer us a small percentage off the bill, but he would not budge. He offered $5 off and I told him that at this point, it was a customer service issue and of he handled it properly we would come back. He said that he was only willing to give $5 off a $70 bill. He said that he is an independent franchise owner and he can do whatever he wants. All that it takes is one bad review to influence people's decisions. Trust me on this one. If you are reading this, spend your time, money, and appetite somewhere else. This place is the worst and I hope this pompous manager's franchise fails and he regrets not taking $10 off the bill. You lost a customer and have tarnished Beef o'Brady's brand. I will not be returning to any of these restaurants of this is the example of how they train their franchise owners. If I could leave zero stars, that is what it deserves. read more

I ordered pickup because I work 5 minutes away and not only was my meal ice cold, only received 18 of the 20 shrimp that was supposed to come in my meal, half of those 18 were just chunks of shrimp, I asked for ranch for my boyfriends meal and was CHARGED for it, I asked again when I was there, they assured me it was in there and got back and ended up paying for a ranch I never got. ALSO the service was ridiculous. I came in and the hostess asked if I wanted to be seated and i told her that I was picking up an order and she said okay and walked away. I thought she was getting the order then I saw her taking orders at a table. then ANOTHER girl came up, asked and walked away again. the THIRD person finally let me get my order which had been sitting at the bar the whole time. Needless to say I was peeved. read more

Walking into Beef O Bradys felt like walking into a warehouse ,cold, clinical, echoey. They did have huge banks of TVs playing sports, but it still felt like watching sports at the doctors office. The staff was friendly, Maybe a little too friendly as a young lady kept sucking face with her boyfriend every time she walked by him. Food is uninspiring, the steak quesadilla was salty and the spinach artichoke dip was thick and gloppy. Kind of like a thickened gruel. I thought too many chips for the amount, but I had trouble eating what was there. And there were 2 of us . Maybe it's supposed to be a spread? The beer selection was good and Caroline was awesome, so I may stop back in when out riding. Anything is possible I suppose. read more

Well we had really good service from Allison, but had to wait an hour for our food. The place is slammed! They have a huge menu and that might be part of the problem. I did have time to count all their tv's. A total of 27. So sports watching will be great here. And they have 6 waitresses, one hostess, I think 3 bartenders. Don't say I waste my time just sitting around. I feel bad for all the young waitresses apologizing to everyone for the slow service. Some look like they are about to cry. We will be back just because I know they are trying. read more

Beef 'O' Brady's - Sports Bars Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

O'Bray Burger was okay but onion rings were terrible - oily & soggy, dipping sauce had no taste. Don't waist the added $2.29.

Went there with the family for the .75 Wing Wednesday. The kids loved their any flavor soda machine. The wings were really good. The Teriyaki sauce was awesome. Surely on my "will visit again soon" list! read more

Beef 'O' Brady's - .75 Wing Wednesday! Great food, Great price, Great service...we'll be going again very soon! - Sports Bars Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Had the new Prime rib garlic melt. New item on menu, needs to stay. Delicious treat. Kids meals came out quick which kept them happy.

This is a great family sports bar! Love that they offer a great beer selection, a lot of local breweries and it's one of the better margarita mixes we've ever tried too. Clean and nice staff. Good wings, burgers and fajitas. Always a solid choice and great place to watch a big game. read more

Nice friendly place for drinks and a casual meal. Food is very good and everything is made better by Michelle behind the bar...efficient, witty and fun she is reason enough to check it out...I'll definitely be a regular! read more

I can't believe they operate under an Irish name. They are far from an Irish Pub. Ran out of (frozen) Corn Beef and Cabbage before 5pm. Instead had Shepard's Pie. Which was covered with cheese. Everyone knows there is no cheese on Shepard's Pie Instead of Irish Soda Bread stale buns. Ugh. Never again. They should be ashamed. They just kept pushing the green beer. Should have been pushing Guinness read more

So we took our grandkids back to Beefs last night again for dinner. We live close to this Beefs so it's easy to get to. Apparently they don't read the reviews on Yelp or if they do they choose to ignore them. The food remains mediocre and the service is terribly slow. I ordered a wrap with the homemade pub chips. The wrap was okay but the pub chips were undercooked and horrible. When our waitress came by our table I tried to tell her but she zoomed by so fast I did not get to speak. I had to ask twice for a refill on my drink, and she never refilled my wifes drink. I travel for work so I have the opportunity to visit several different Beefs. The Beefs in Sun City is good as is the location at 51st and Cortez Road in Bradenton. read more

We visited this place last night looking for a good french dip sandwich. My wife and I each ordered one. Hers was about 40% pure fat; mine was a little better. The au jus was so diluted it was tan in color. The curly fries were very tired and the wife's cole slaw was several days past its prime. We had to ask three tmes to get silverware. And when the waitress cleared the table, a few napkins fell on the floor where they remained while we paid our bill and left. On a brighter note, they had the new bourbon beer that was remarkably good. It had a very complex taste that excited the taste buds. That will not be enough to bring us back though. read more

Pretty disappointed. Great food but terrible customer service. We ordered from Bite Squad and the food came missing 1 kids meal. When I called to ask about the meal. The manager Tim was quick to say "That's the problem with these meal delivery services, you have to call them , the driver is supposed to check to see that the order is correct, but yeah it's here", then we got disconnected. Big surprise there. All in all they don't stand behind there service, offered no resolution and were very quick to pass the buck. They 're not worth your time or money. I personally won't spend my hard earned money with a company who is doesn't take any accountability. read more

What can I say? A nice cozy, unprentious joint with cold beer, wings, onion rings, nachos, great burgers, friendly and cute waitstaff and sports on like 100 television s. Great place after a workday, nice and satisfying, without breaking the bank. read more

Always a fun great place good food and always a smile from the servers. Monday night is 5.99 burger night. Great beer selection.

After attending a funeral today, stopped with family to eat. Served wrong wings, but told to eat until correct ones came out. We sent wings back, undercooked, tasted bad. Correct wings came out and started to eat, found these wings were raw on inside. Sent them back. My son went to bathroom and threw up all his food. Ended up speaking to supposed owner Tim, that stated the raw wings would not have made my son sick that quick and handed me the bill. Beware. Do not eat at this place. They don't care about their food or you. Karl read more

Food acceptable but service terrible. Seats full of crumbs. Waitress more interested in doing her phone and eating her own dinner than bothering with customers. read more

Extremely average, mediocre service, had to ask for my second beer, had to ask for a menu on arrival. Wings were mediocre. I thought they were small. Sauce direct from a very large bottle. Come on, for 8.99 and 5.00 each small 12 oz glass of beer at least try and be better. A boring, cold corporate location. Just - mediocre. I won't be back, probably ever to another Beef. read more

We used to go here often being nearby, but it's been months now and there are no outside tables still! They finally got rid of the ones that were falling apart so badly they snagged your clothes, but thoughts are it doesn't cost that much for some outside tables! Depending on what you order, some of the food is excellent, while other items are okay. The servers are overall attentive. We won't be going back until the outside area is updated. read more

I have been coming to this Beef's regularly and I cant say enough good things about it. The staff is just amazing. They are so nice and are the main reason I keep coming back. The food is very good also. The cooks really know how to make the food exactly how you ask for it. The staff are genuinely happy working here and it makes me want to come back. read more

Went here for the first time. They have a Monday special on burgers and we met a bunch of friends there. It's a nice place, servers are great and the burgers and fries were delicious! read more

Pretzels with cheese dip were great! Worth ordering as an appetizer. The shrimp and steak fajitas were spectacular! The boneless chicken wings were horrifyingly awful- never order them-save yourselves. The waitress was sweet and very polite. Our food order for boneless wings came out as regular wings and had to be redone. Then the kitchen made them wrong a second time. Finally, on the third try they got it right, but they were terrible. Either intentionally or just plain awful. Either way we should have just cancelled this part of the order. Very casual location. A little small, but fine unless they would be busy. read more

We love to come here and hang out on the patio and drink some beers.. Food is good and reasonably priced..

I visit this bar probably once a month, I can say that the wings and burgers are the best in the area. The staff are always friendly, polite and professional. The owner is always on the premises and always goes to the tables to speak to the customers, I do not see that in many bar/restaurants. read more

Yaya, went early on a Sunday. I was there before the games started, it was quiet. The bartender was genuine and prompt. The food was tasty. Will go back for sure! read more

My go-to local spot. Great beer selection, my favorite Jai Alai is on tap. Their wings are awesome, too. The staff clearly works very hard. Sometimes the place is a bit messy (the first front table is always full with silverware-prep!) but overall a good experience each time. Keep working hard, guys! read more

I go here every year since they opened with my husband, who just passed away. I ordered a corned beef dinner to go because I couldn't bring myself to go and eat it there. Not only was it delicious, the bartender wouldn't let me pay for it. What else can I write? Go there. Great food. Even better people! read more

Buffalo boneless chicken wings were over cooked and dry with a lot of fried fat that was crusted. Philly Cheese steak was good, but nothing to write home about. It came with fries but was never offered condiments by the bartender. Plus she was a little standoffish. Bob Grabowski read more

Always a great spot for cocktails and food. Ali and Susan as bartenders are always prompt and friendly. We mostly order our food to go, and they always get our requested extra sauce! (we love their poblano dressing/sauce). Lots of menu options. We totally give 5 stars - the only fault we might have is they keep the room temperature a bit chilly. Otherwise, we highly recommend! read more

Not the best but i went there on my bike with my cousin and we enjoyed. There nuclear sauce made him cry and the waitress offered some milk for him. The food was pretty good like the land, sea, and air... delicious. Yum read more

I live nearby and sometimes I walk over. The owner is a really nice guy. The service is usually pretty good. Sometimes I feel like they forgot about me, especially when I sit outside. Other than a few times of that happening, the servers are very nice and helpful. This is my go-to place to grab a beer and eat some wings, however the food isn't THAT great. You can tel that it is "chain restaurant food" but they are making progress in better quality with some of their food items. Wings are very good and they usually have a great beer selection. I'd typically rate a place like this as 3 stars, but since I come here often, I see how the management and the staff works, they are hard workers and they seem to care about their customers. Every now and then they have a hiccup in their service, but no big deal... I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't? I'd recommend this Beefs over any other one I've been to. In the end: I like this place, and I've recommended it to many people who visit this area. read more

if i could i would leave no stars. rude staff. plain food, no seasoning on anything , just plain. go to Applebee's instead if anything.

if anyone in the bradenton/sarasota area is ever by lockwood ridge and state road 70 do not go to the beef o bradys!! i went there with my family after a funeral to eat and have a few beers and eat only to be served completely raw chicken boneless wings i took a big first bite an ate it only to look down at a clear certainly uncooked piece of chicken! i got so sick to my stomach which never happens that threw up everything i had eaten including a burger and pretzels when i was confronted by the owner tim he told me and my family who were all eating the wings that not only is it not possible to get salmonella poison from raw chicken but we had to pay for everything else and when i said are you kidding me he simply put the bill on the table and walked away!! i have never heard something so damn ignorant in my life! avoid this place at all costs!! read more

First and last time there. It took 3 waitresses to seat us and 20 mins for them to take our order It wasn't even busy, there were a bunch of them just talking standing around. They didn't even greet us, the waitress said: what you gettin'? With a rude attitude. She was more interested in being "friendly " with the bar crowd and the people from a table she seemed to know. She only asked my bf for another drink. When I said I wanted another she didn't even reply, she made a face, turned around and left it on the table while she kept walking without saying anything. We will never be there again. read more

Came in and walked out 15 minutes later. The waitress came by and we ordered a beer and never saw her again. Frustrated we paid for the beer at the bar on our way out the door. read more

On 12/7 Ordered wings, no taste, had burnt rancid oil terrible flavor. Old dried out. Wife had beef sandwich, bland no taste. We both got slightly sick upon returning home. Sad, never had a B.B. meal like this before. Avoid this place. read more

Look, this is a standard franchise sports bar type in a supermarket shopping plaza. It will never be a 5 star go to but it is convenient and when they are on top of their game, a solid 3 star for food and ambience. With what they pay staff at these places, their quality rests with the manager and/or supervisor and certainly you should let them know if service is not good or conversely, you have had good service.Last time there I had basic angus burger and it was cooked and served perfectly with fries (not that great but serviceable. Wife had a chicken salad platter that was also perfect for the price. We are not sports bar patrons usually so I can't comment on that aspect but it is a nice neighborhood to get a fair priced meal. read more

Rude staff, poor service and frozen food. Definitely not the results we had hoped for with a new establishment. We ordered a Prime Rib sandwich and Quesadillas.. both of which looked and tasted like it came straight from the freezer to a microwave. Both of us agreed we could've had Subway or McDonald's and been more satisfied..we will not go back. read more

mediocre food....poor value...service ok not great....the prices for what you get are just not good!

my friends and I went to this restaurant at 9:20pm. place was empty. there was one person at the bar. we went ahead sat at the booth. waited for a few minutes and a server name Natalie came to the table and took our order. she was pleasant. she took our drink order. we waited for a while to receive our drinks. I noticed that the bartender Caroline was arguing with a person at the bar. She was more interested in arguing with that person than preparing our drinks. so i asked her for our drinks and she replied rudely. she was nasty. She said you got a problem,talk to the owner his name is Tim. Seems like the employees were more interested in their conversation then customers. Food was good. I hope owner realizes that good food alone does not make a great restaurant, service is also as important. I am also in a business and I know how important customer service is. I wouldn't take it for granted. One thing I learned is bad review spreads like a wildfire. read more
