The hostess was super nice. She told us it would be a 35 minute wait for two. We only had to wait 15-20 minutes before she sat us. Our mozzarella stick appetizer came out after five minutes of ordering it. Our wings were delicious and we finished it off with the cookie lava cake topped with vanilla ice cream. Even though our server Mac had full table she was still very attentive and welcoming as I told her it was our first time there. We will be back! Excellent food and excellent service! read more

Great selection of different food is the main reason we dine here, usually weekly. The outside patio is nice, heated in winter, overlooks the river and dam. Inside many TVs for sports. Fajitas are wonderful, tacos are a little different but good too. Can't beat their burgers. Onion rings IMO are the best around. Wife enjoys the wings. Great waitresses and service. We absolutely love Andrea who always goes beyond and gives great recommendations if you'd like to try something different. read more

This was the third time and hopefully the final time that I will eat at Beef O Bradys. The Cuban I ordered was as if they went to the supermarket and bought lunch meat and put it on two pieces a very hard "" Cuban bread". Save yourself a trip and just go to Jimmy Johns for the number 23 Cuban sandwich. read more

Amazing neighborhood dining that treat everyone with respect!!! From burgers to wings to salads they are all delicious!

This is the second time in a row that I've been and sat at the bar and been totally ignored. Sat in traffic drove all the way across town to grab some food and a cold beer and ended up walking out unserved. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Waited over 15 minutes for server. Ordered food over an hour ago and still have not received it. Server checked in with me once and that was when she was told by bar to wait on me. Haven't seen her since. Will not be back to this location. Very poor service and no idea where management is. read more

Fantastic addition to Helena! To see the host(ess) for restaurant/dining area or outside seating, enter the left door. The right door takes you directly to the bar, which also includes high tops for dining. Since it was our first visit, we were unclear about this and entered on the bar side. One of the bartenders was very friendly and explained we could choose a high top or, if we preferred, we could be seated in the dining room. We elected to sit at a high top in the bar and it ended up being the perfect choice. It was a pleasant space with lots of flat screen tvs and a stage (though I am not sure what happens there). If it was a warmer day, I would have loved to sit outside on the covered deck and overlook the creek, but I will have to return in the spring to make that happen - 30 degrees in January was just too cold. Regarding food, my husband and I decided to order a burger and wings and split both. It was Wing Wednesday, so traditional wings were $.99/each. Wings can be ordered by 6, 10, 15, or 20. We spit the order and asked for half dry rub Nashville Hot and half Spicy Garlic + Garlic Parmesan. Dry rub is not always my favorite, but I was impressed at Beef' O' Brady's, though I still prefer the sauces and loved the mixture our server recommended. I look forward to trying the sweet jalapeno on a future visit. The wings came with celery (no carrots) and either blue cheese or ranch. We also split the Amarillo Firecracker Burger (angus burger with bacon, fried jalapeños, pepper jack cheese and sweet jalapeño mayo). The bun was soft, the burger was cooked medium, as requested, and the fries were crispy and hot. My only concern, though this may seem fickle or too particular, was that they had French's ketchup, since I am a Heinz fan or Hunts, at the very least. Regarding drinks,the prices on draft beer are a bargain and they offer quite a variety of domestic selections and Bham craft beer. I was VERY impressed by the service. Frazier was funny, friendly, attentive, and well-versed in his knowledge of the menu, including fun, funky ways to mix up the sauces. I will definitely be back for more, especially once the weather gets a bit warmer to take advantage of the best outdoor dining in the area. read more

Some of the best service I have ever experienced. Even was very nice. Holy Cow what a concept! Wing wed. was awesome!

Ok so I already "liked" beefs but I love the one in helena. This is our 2nd time at this location and I reserved my review the first time to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It's awesome. Location is beautiful, wait staff is so friendly, drinks are heavy, and food is hot. I especially like the fact there's always a breeze coming off the creek so even in August it's cool on the patio with a fantastic view. Only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is bc it's not a fancy place (and constantly country music playing, but that's just a personal problem). But if you're looking for a great place to hang out, bring the kids (or not), have some good food and just enjoy the evening...this is the spot! read more

DONT GO HERE TO CELEBRATE Not exactly sure why I thought this one would be any better than the Hoover location. ONLY DRINK BEER Don't drink wells because there is no alcohol furthermore We drank 10 margaritas and I was completely sober. I believe it doesn't matter what restaurant is in this building just doesn't want u to get drunk... at $60 tab I should have been drunk. WORST OF ALL THE TEQUILA SHOTS WERE WARM!!!! This bartender clearly knows nothing about a bar! "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and there always glad you came" and this could have been the place. everyone seemed in love with the food The waiter was Great, service was amazing (Ethan) The live music was amusing But wtf is going on at the bar read more

Me and my husband frequent this place a lot, mainly because of the location (being on the river). The food is okay (mostly bar type food) but I usually get the veggie bowl and it's great. We also regularly get a beer or cocktail. However, today we went for dinner. My husband got a beer and I decided not to. Our food came out and I wanted to try his beer, so I took a sip. As soon as I did, our server and I'm guessing a manager or maybe the bartender, came storming out and in a very rude and demanding tone said "ma'am I need to see your ID". Of course I got it out and showed it; I'm 27. I've also been a bartender, so I completely get it. They are covering their butts. However I did not appreciate the accusatory tone, how they stormed out looking just about ready to humiliate and kick us out. I would've GLADLY shown my ID if our server was around when I decided to try it. And (again, as a former bartender), all they had to do was come out and say "hey, can I see your ID please? It's just policy!". After I showed it, all she said was "thanks" and off they went. I just feel like it was handled inappropriately. As someone who's come here probably once a month since it opened, I'm disappointed and I can't say that I'll be back. read more

Always good food and polite servers. And the view of the waterfall can't be beat! Had the 2/$25 and really were pleased.

We called ahead for our soccer team. Had 32 people for lunch. They had the area roped off outside. Team was seated. Orders were prompt and correct. Waitress kept the detail with the orders. Good experience...good location. read more

Service is great and the food is pretty good. I usually get one of their bowls or their wings. Appetizers are good and I haven't had a bad meal there ever. I love their sweet tea! It has that brewed tea taste , not sugar water! read more

Our server Ethan was great! Food good (Had the steak tacos but was disappointed that it had lettuce vs the cabbage). Drinks (Pineapple Express for me) refreshing! read more

The atmosphere is the best part about this place. Grab a seat on the porch if it's good weather, you won't regret it. Typical bar food. I haven't had anything bad yet, but nothing that I would go back for. The beer selection is pretty good for a restaurant in Helena with some of the local breweries represented. We had a problem with our order and the waitress was quick to get it fixed. I got a salad for the first time here, and it was surprisingly good for a pub style restaurant. I'll definitely be back. read more

We beat the game day crowd, and say on the side opposite of the bar(remember this when going in).... Bar side is the door on the far right, but you can go into either entrance. Food was great, and server was attentive. Host.... Well, they make or break you. He said a few too many things he shouldn't have. Still enjoyed the food and got stuffed. We got the OMG burger, the funnel cake fries with caramel(sorry I don't like chocolate). The boom shrimp appetizer, the onion rings and a philly with a side of queso(yes I can eat). I enjoyed everything, and the burger was so big you couldn't eat half of it unless you came with an appetite and room to spare. I recommend a training program for what not to say, even though my "opinion" at present may seem biased you're looking at a multimillion dollar establishment..... he's paid hourly... people matter but business is first. Minus his input, the review would have been a 3.5, as when my server started, she was on point. Go, and enjoy yourselves, still enjoyed it. Can't believe I only spent $53. The philly was missing that garlic butter taste, so I recommend you add it to the bread, you won't regret it! read more

My husband and I were going to this restaurant regularly. We loved it. Recently we've noticed that it's never the same help there -- different hostesses, different wait staff, different food servers every time. They used to know us as regulars, now no one does. That's okay, except that the staff now doesn't show any caring about their jobs. The hostess tonight slapped the menus on the table she led us to, and walked away. No smile, no words, nothing. We ordered an appetizer of mozzarella sticks with marina sauce. When a food server (not our waiter who took our order) brought the appetizer, she set them down and walked away. There was no dipping sauce or marinara sauce with the cheese sticks, so we called (a couple times) to the lady who brought them. When she came back, we asked her for the marinara sauce that was supposed to come with the mozzarella sticks. She said, "we're out of the sauce." (What's mozzarella sticks without marinara sauce? But we kept the sticks and ate them dry.) A little later, she delivered my side salad. There was no dressing on it, and none on the side either. She again had immediately walked away, so again we had to call to her to come back. When I asked her for salad dressing, she acted as if I'd asked for an unusual favor to have dressing for my salad, but she said she "could go get some dressing" for me. Our dinner meals came without further issue and were delicious. I also noticed that this same server, when bringing the three meals to the table next to us, instead of walking around the side to place one of their meals in front of the lady (there was plenty of room to do so), she shoved the meal across the table, sliding the platter toward the lady. This was just not the experience we hope for when going out for a nice dinner. In addition, there are TVs on the outside patio dining area. The TV in front of the table where we've been seated has been out of order for the last several weeks. It seems this should have been sufficient time to repair or replace one television. The other TVs are not within view from where we sat. Of course that's only important if you go there wanting to view sports while enjoying dinner and drinks. Sadly, this restaurant has fallen off our "favorite go-to place" list. read more

Hit every mark on my hometown American cuisine restaurant. They have enough variety to please everyone in the party. My group got the "2 for $20." You get an appetizer & 2 entree's. We got the mozzarella sticks, fried cod, and grilled shrimp. All very delicious and you can tell it's homemade. There is also a bar with an experienced bartender, but we didn't order drinks! Can be good for a night out or dinner with the family depending on the time of day! read more

This was the worst absolute experience.. We had a surprise birthday party of ten and called in advance. Once we got there on time they said that they had to clean the tables first. The tables were never wiped down and a rag was handed down to us and told us to wipe them down. The whole place was gross. I even felt the need to wipe down the salt and pepper shakers as well as napkin dispenser. Our waitress Riley W. was terrible. Never could get it together! Couldn't give change back nor come to check on us. She's young it get it. But I've been there and tried my best to get it together. She just wanted to hang out with some of her friends who sat at the other side of the restaurant. As a whole the restaurant will not make it with this sort of behavior. Honestly wonder if it would pass a health department test. Please don't wast you time or money here. read more

Absolutely horrible service tonight. My family has eaten there numerous times in past (not a lot of options in Helena) and had so so experience. But tonight was terrible. Took 15 minutes to get our drink order. When we finally did get our drinks the wine was served in a plastic solo cup....After we finally got our mediocre bar food it took the waitress another 10-15 minutes from the time I asked for our check to remember to give it to us. I waited tables in college and understand about being slammed and so forth but she only had 2 tables that she seemed to be serving. In fact I have never actually written a bad review for anyone before-the fact that I took the time to write this should speak volumes. read more

Happy to have a great restaurant with great food available as well as the awesome views! Located downtown Helena on the beautiful Buck Creek Dam. Nice home town feel place with a large full menu. Happy to see a place here with such options. Upon arrival, quickly seated on the gorgeous patio out back over looking the creek. Waiter was prompt and explained and answered all of our questions regarding awesome local beers on draft and food options. Full bar and lots of beer choices. I finally decided on the grilled shrimp entree with a side ceaser salad, rice and 20 blackened shrimp. Spouse decided to make his own burger and a side of curly fries. Even though the place was pretty packed, we received our food fairly quick. Shrimp were absolutely amazing and very seasoned with just enough spice. Salad was way more than I could eat, so my husband and I split it. Rice was bland but still good. Burger was cooked to order and fries were plentiful. Service and overall experience was great! Defiently recommend. We will be back to explore other menu items as well. Only downsize for us (which is no way a reflection on the establishment itself) were the large party sitting next to us. People, if you have kids, please manage them at a restaurant!!!! These kids were screaming and running all over the dang place, running into our table and throwing trash. Which of course made for a not so pleasant date night but we managed. Other people were getting up and leaving because of this nonsense. Thank you read more

Avoid this place! I ordered a simple hamburger with pepper jack cheese and grilled onions no mayo and no raw onions. Well after a really long wait I got an ice-cold burger with mayo no grilled onions but raw onions. When i called the waitress, she gave me a cold stair down and said my order went to someone else. Then took my plate and said it's going to be awhile. By the time my plate came out my wife already finished her dinner. For the second burger they gave me, well they screwed that one up as well - A small amount of fries (a lot less than the previous plate) it had no grilled onions but rather raw onions and of course mayo. Again, the stare down look and the rude behavior was not acceptable it was time to leave. Paid for my wife's plate, drinks and left. I know mistakes happen but twice for a simple burger then you add the rudeness of this waitress making you feel uncomfortable -- let's just say spend your money somewhere else. Oh .. and my wife had the fried fish which tasted like it had freezer burn .. read more

The original Incahoots in Helena which later became Papa Sais is now the newest location of Beef O Brady's. They really cleaned the place up. The interior boasts tons of TVS, lots of seating and the best outdoor seating area in Helena. The menu is large and diverse and covers the basic pub grub with: wings, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas and larger entrees including fajitas and seafood. I had the wing basket which comes w 8 boneless or traditional wings slaw and fries. $12.00 was a bit pricey for what I got. I had the traditional wings hot. The hot was very mild to me. The fries were thin and crispy and I'm just not a slaw guy so I won't say anything about it. Ordinarily I would have asked to substitute but my 2 yr old dinner date required the majority of my attention so I didn't think to. She had the nuggets and fries initially. They brought out some 10 for 1.49 style nuggets and she refused to eat them after the first bite. The server heard her say they were gross and got her real hand breaded fingers instead which were much more palatable. The ranch and bleu cheese were good and appear house made. The server was very friendly and spent a lot of time talking to customers which is good, but it makes for rather slow service. Dining tonight took considerably longer than I anticipated and I actually contemplated leaving when we waited 20 mins plus for our food after we ordered. The meal was prepared to order. Everything was hot and fresh. They had a pretty substantial crowd this evening so that too added to time element which I ordinarily wouldn't mind if I were having a couple beers with friends. With having my daughter and her initial inedible meal we started cutting into bath and bedtime. 2 fingers, fries and a tiny rice crispy treat $6.00. The quality of the second kids meal was considerably better but it's a 3.99 kids meal at the local BBQ joint in town. I will go back. Either earlier with no real agenda or time frame or with friends and enjoy a couple adult beverages while we wait. In summation don't be in a hurry, if you like hot go a couple steps up from hot, don't order the kids nuggets and know that it's a bit pricier for this type of fair than the average family friendly bar and grill. Far better than my first experience w this establishment in Hoover as far as the food is concerned. read more

We just moved to the area, and wanted to try out this place. It's located in a great area, old town Helena, overlooking a waterfall. I ordered the surf and turf Friday night special(sirloin, grilled shrimp, fries and salad). My husband had the cowboy ribeye, and son had kid's Mac and cheese. Well, my salad had a hair in it. Gross, but it happens, so I just set it aside and didn't say anything. It's a salad, and I didn't need another. The meal wasn't bad, but it wasn't good, either. It was just your basic, low-to-average chain restaurant meal. My husband's steak wasn't very good either. Son's Mac and cheese was literally easy Mac like the kind that you microwave at home. That was a bummer, but he liked it. As for service, our server was nice, and our table was tended to, but they did try to give us the wrong food a few times, and our salad dressing was wrong. One concern we had is that they weren't wearing masks, and the few that were, weren't wearing them properly. My husband is in the restaurant industry, and said that it is a statewide ordinance for restaurant workers to wear masks. Overall, not too impressed. read more

Good, solid experience. Wings are good and meaty, fish and chips are pretty good, and most of the sandwiches are good as well. Service is usually pretty good as well. This is one of the better dining options in Helena. read more

My wife and I go there about 2-3 times a month. Food is pretty good. I gave it 3 stars because it seems like service is slowing down. Last time we went, we asked for queso and we waited so long my wife's dinner got cold. We had to keep reminding the waitress. I mean, how hard is it to put it in a bowl and bring it out. My wife took her meal home to eat it because she was tired of how long we were there waiting. We will eat there again but only if the service starts getting better. read more

Wow I love steak but I may have came at the wrong time. My steak was awful. I told my server whom was very nice and she sympathized with me and went to get the manager whom apologized for my bad experience and offered me something additional in which I declined but they really wanted me to have a good experience so I accepted. Even though I was not satisfied with my original order my server really was adequate. I will be a return customer but I may just stay away from the steak. lol. read more

Once again, very average. Seafood platter has only 2 kinds of seafood, a small serving of average cole slaw and fries. The shrimp and fish were dry, somewhat overcooked. The service to night was efficient but friendless. Sometimes it's much worse. Fried pickles very salty. read more

Was really bummed with the st Patrick's day party ... they ran out of their green beer way too fast and I didn't like how they had a limited menu of food. No regular menu and there was just like 10 items offered for the party . They also ran out of food by like 6 pm Sunday.. and weren't prepared to offer other options. It was also still packed when we went and people were ordering things. I'm not sure why it was poorly planned this year but I hope next year they plan better!! read more
