Beef 'O' Brady's — Restaurant in Beaver Dam

We did not enjoy our visit. The waitress was openly rude to us the moment we walked in sounding annoyed anytime she had to engage with us and responding with short, snappy responses. I suspect it had something to do with the hat someone in our party was wearing as the dirty looks seemed directed in that way but she was rude to all of us. She was not simply having a bad day as I overheard her engaging with other customers and she was not at all rude to them. When asking what options were gluten free, she wanted us to scan a Q code and seemed angry we did not have the ability to do so on our phone and acted as though it was a big deal to do her job and help answer our questions. Be great if they had a physical gluten free menu. She also ignored us and did not come check on us for drink refills which meant we had to deal with her less (bonus) but we didn't get any refills on our coffee and drinks (bummer). She still gave us dirty looks from afar though. Someone else brought our food out to us and that server was much nicer. After eating the food, the two people who ordered gluten free (because we have celiac) displayed all the symptoms of the food not being gluten free (and we are not super sensitive to cross contamination, we have to eat gluten directly in order to be as sick as we were) which ruined a portion of our vacation. I also suspect that was not accidental. Like I said, the moment we walked in, she had an attitude. I expressed several times everything that we ordered for 2 of the 3 orders needed to be gluten free. I have never had a server be that rude to me probably ever. The food wasn't even that good either and we spent between 3 to 5 days vomiting after eating it. Would...

I hate giving bad reviews but had to in this case. I had high hopes for this place. Two of my friends had spoke highly of it and maybe that’s why I went in to it expecting more. It also could have been specifically the bartender that caused the majority of the issues.

We arrived, they were full at the tables so we sat at the bar. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes before we were asked for our drinks (at the bar, where you know that’s key). Almost an hour later we got our food.

With a name like Beef O Bradys, I assumed the steak would be seasoned. I should have known different when the bartender was surprised I didn’t want A1. I would like to say I ordered rare and it was rare, so some positivity there. The outside was the same temperature as the inside so I assume it sat for a bit before they brought it out. The wife ordered a Philly and it was also cool when she got it. My shrimp were hot though at least.

I always tip at least 10% even if they were horrible so we paid with a 10% tip and left, but if you want good service, it might be worth driving a little further. Then again, maybe it was just the bartender. Either way, we...

First, let me say that this place has a fun atmosphere and a very friendly staff. But unless you go on a Wednesday when wings are half price, the food is just too expensive. My wife and I dropped in Sunday for a meal. 12 wings, 2 side salads, and an order of fries came to $42.00 (including a 20% tip).

Also, avoid the salads. The last couple of times we have eaten there, the lettuce was pretty wilted and the veggies were not very fresh. It's not all bad, though. The spicy garlic wing sauce is tasty, and if you ask for sloppy, you'll definitely get sloppy.

Maybe this is all just another pandemic side effect. I understand restaurants and other businesses have had to make great sacrifices during all this, and that is a terrible shame, so perhaps in time, things will be better.

In all, this is likely the last visit we make to Beef's, but I do...
