Beef 'O' Brady's

I had a burger on a tortilla, it came hot and fresh from the grill. The order on the receipt didn't quite match but I got what I ordered. Overall a great atmosphere that's fairly relaxed.

Outside of feeling like I was back in the 70s or 80s with the decor the food and service were really good.

Fantastic visit. I was able to seat myself. A waitress stopped by in short time. I was able to place my order immediately since I knew what I wanted. The waitress and kitchen got my order made quickly and as I directed. I got the cheese steak with fries and sweet iced tea with lemon. The food was fresh and hot! Everything tasted great. Best lunch I've had in a while. The waitress check on me in timely fashion. All in all an excellent dining experience.

Beef 'O'Brady's is the quintessential sports bar with a menu better than most. Comprising mostly of typical pub fare, but with some unique items on it as well. Having eating at a Beef 'O'Brady's only once in the past (it's been at least 15 years since we ate at a location back in Michigan), we only recently discovered that this location was about 15 minutes from home. That made it the perfect choice for a Friday night dinner.

Being a sport pub, the restaurant has multiple screens with sports-related shows going. The bar is huge and well stocked, and there's also a small game from for kids. (Why I lumped those two items into the same sentence defies explanation.) There is music overhead, but not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation, and it was mostly 80s and 90s (which is right in my comfort zone).

When we arrived it wasn't terribly busy, we sat down immediately, and our server was *bam* right there for our drink orders. We here Hungry with a capital H, so we ordered an appetizer (something we rarely do). The Spinach Artichoke dip was that victim. I ordered the Amarillo Firecracker Burger, my wife the Grilled Chicken Wrap.

The appetizer came out amazingly fast...and was equally amazingly good. Some spinach artichoke dips can be dry, but this was perfect, and served with warm, fresh tortilla chips.

The timing for this visit was pretty spot-on, because no sooner had we finished the appetizer when our main courses arrived. The burger (I'm uploading photo) looked like it was in a hurry to be eaten...so I had to oblige.

The Amarillo Firecracker Burger was amazingly good, but I was hoping for more of the firecracker part, having fried jalapeños and all. Not really a complaint, just an observation. The fries were better than most pub fries, served hot and well seasoned. My wife said that grilled chicken wrap was VERY good, and we make quick work of our meals. As with everything else about this visit, cashing out was easy, as our server was very attentive and had great timing.

While I'm now said that we haven't been going to Beef 'O'Brady's regularly since our last visit nearly 15 years ago, I'm glad that there's one about 15 minutes from home. I could see myself frequenting this place.

OH...and there's a television in the bathroom.

Really.
