Beef 'O' Brady's — Restaurant in Florida

I was part of a group of fourteen that come for lunch after church Sunday afternoon. Granted, we didn’t call ahead, but, the restaurant wasn’t busy and our party arrived over the course of a half an hour. I will say that every effort was made to seat us all together, and the restaurant was clean. Unfortunately, those are the only positives I can find. Drink orders weren’t taken until nearly 15 minutes after the last guests arrived, (some of us had been there for nearly forty minutes at that point) and food orders we’re finally taken another 30 minutes after that. Refilled drinks were nearly impossible to come by, so I got up and asked the server (standing behind the bar phone in hand) for drinks. They were promptly delivered, though. Most of the party waited well over an hour for their food, some had already finished eating, and some of the later food was cold when it arrived. All of this could have been understood had the restaurant been busy, it wasn’t, or if the server had a more professional or pleasant disposition. When asked about the extended wait, she rudely stated, “the kitchen wasn’t prepared for a party of twenty (there were 14) and the grill is only so big”. Again, it was the unprofessional tone and rude disposition that really made the impression. At no point during the 2+ hours we were there did either of the two servers express any thought or concern for our table. They looked put upon and quite unhappy to be there, actually. Some of this group and others from our church regularly patronize this location after the Sunday evening service, often in larger numbers and haven’t experienced the long wait, rudeness and utter lack respect and professionalism we experienced today. I don’t know about the all of them, but I know several of us won’t be back. Do better, Beef’s staff. *Server to Server… I know it can be a hard job. I know you can have a bad day, but your serving today was shameful and there is no excuse for that when we work for tips and I know that you were tipped well by most of the parties...

!! DO NOT EAT HERE !! My coworker and I ate here while in town on business. He had a burger and fries, I had a chicken tortilla wrap. We BOTH got food poisoning and came home from the trip early! He had diarrhea for 2+ weeks, and I had it at both ends for nearly a month!

With the other comments of under cooked chicken there is NO EARTHLY REASON to ever eat here.

Edit: TLDR my body dealt with it way worse than my coworker.

I do understand the owners point of view, and pray we are the only ones. I did my time in the food industry when I was younger and it takes real effort to do it right. I applaud anyone who stays in that industry.

Now then, we ordered through door dash to our condo, so the food wasn't quite as hot and fresh. That could be a cause, but I wouldn't expect it. We were never in the building itself. We didn't realize anything was wrong until the next day, and assumed some mild food poisoning. It happens, we we're out of town on top of that. We didn't think to contact the restaurant, and that's a fault on our end. My brain has been a bit useless while I've been sick.

That being said, after a couple weeks of vomiting in the mornings, and nearly a month of diarrhea, I am finally getting better. I've lost over 10lbs. I had extreme bloating and discomfort the whole time. My Dr ran a blood test and stool sample (sorry for TMI). No GI bugs that they tested for, blood cells counts normal. So she ordered a CT scan to check for blockages or related issues. Only showed inflamed lymph nodes around my abdomen.

Whatever GI bug I had, moved on or was an unknown to the test. My body wasn't convinced and kept fighting. I'm fighting symptoms with medicine now. In the end I'm glad it was just food poisoning, and not something that I'd deal with forever.

Still upset about the food poisoning though 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 Take it for what you...

I've heard that this restaurant was supposed to be great with food. So I decided to go here with my family and see what the hype was about. I wanted some wings, and they came out alright. The cost of the wings was not pleasing the size of the wing, but alright, I didn't pay much attention.

The second time, I wanted the same thing, but the service was long and busy, but I'm a patient person when getting my food, and know how long it takes for it to come out, but it was a long time when it came out. I asked for a dressing, and by the time my waitress came back to the table, which was about a good 20 minutes, I was already done with my food. I was still charged a dollar for the dressing and was surprised it wasn't taken off. I laughed and just paid it, paying it no mind.

The 3rd time, and the final time I'll eat here. It was Wing Wednesday. I want to understand if it was Wing Wednesday, the cooks would know how to cook a small chicken bite. I ordered some wings and curly fries, but of course, they messed up my order. What was terrifying to me was that my chicken was raw when I bit into it. I spit it out, and the other order of wings was also raw. I asked the waitress and showed her that it was raw, and she took it back no problem and didn't charge me for the basket of fries that was sent out the first time. By the time I got my 2nd order of wings, I was already full on wings, and finally, they were cooked. It was hard as a rock, but cooked throughly. I ate, but of course, I charged with a dollar for dressing for the wings. I just had enough and just said forget it.

If you want to have a good time drinking alcohol, I guess you could go here, but eating for dinner to be satisfied, I do not recommend coming here. Service is average, but don't be surprised when your refill doesn't come...
