Beef 'O' Brady's — Restaurant in Spanish Fort

Do you remember how during COVID restaurants removed all condiments from the tables under the misguided notion that you might catch the illness by handling a salt-and-pepper shaker or ketchup bottle? In 2024, this Beef's location still has no sauces whatsoever on the table. Sure, you can ask the server to bring them to you and they will oblige with teeny plastic cups with a miserly supply of ketchup, mustard, ranch or blue cheese.

Sitting here watching my food get cold while waiting on sides and sauces; many of which are literally on the menu item's description. If the description says "with a side of blue cheese", then bring the gosh-darned blue cheese without me having to flag down someone to eye-roll at me and reluctantly fetch it.

We ordered a pretzel and I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The pretzel was deep fried and comes with a tiny smidge of mustard for dipping. It was... that dark tree bark color you get when your fry oil is past due to be replaced. The buffalo chicken wrap was an unholy abomination. Other buffalo chicken wraps made fun of this wrap in bar-food middle school. The god of buffalo chicken wraps will smite this buffalo chicken wrap as a fallen creation and use it as a tale of woe and warning to other buffalo chicken wraps.

The thing they put in front of me was... A quesadilla with special needs. It was a couple pieces of over-fried chicken, lettuce, mayo and tomato with three microns of cheese smashed down and cooked on what I assume was the kind of Panini Press you find at the Dollar Store on Christmas Eve-Eve in a random isle near the front of the store on your way to the office Christmas Party.

What kind of person cooks a buffalo chicken wrap like a quesadilla? Mushy lettuce, cooked tomatoes stewing into an unholy sludge between the folds of a stale tortilla shell. Go make yourself one and try it. I'll wait.

..Nasty, right?

I presume one of two conditions are at play here.

1. The kitchen was trolling us or this was some sort of hidden-camera TV show "How would you react?" To which, I say: Bravo: most excellent band of merry pranksters.

-or-

2. The kitchen is staffed by tweens from a local school on a home-ec field trip. Then we, as a...

Let me start by saying the staff were nice and food was good. Unfortunetly the place was busy and did not appear to have enough staff to handle the demand. My wife and I ordered the fajitas, we got the shellsand toppings delivered then waited about 15mins before the entree was brought out. We had fried pickle chips as an appetozer which appeared relatively quick but the ranch never made it. Again the server was nice, and appoligized frequently for delays. At the end of the dinner I wrote out a survey card and when I asked for a manager I was told she was too busy in the kitchen. Now we have ordered carry out from here quite a few times and never disappointed. I reconmend if you want to eat here try to do it early or middle of the week...or carry out. Again the staff was nice and the food was good. After reading other reviews I have decided to change my rating from a 3 to a 1, reason for this... there is not one response from Beef O Bradys to any of the reviews good or bad, if they dont care then...

It's 2024, WHY doesn't this restaurant have some form of water filtration system? The water is absolutely abysmal. Some customers prefer water with their meals. The water should be palatable. It is not here. Our server suggested soda water instead. She forgot to bring it to me until I flagged her down. I am thinking she's new and still learning, hopefully. Nope, it's apparently carbonated using the same awful tap water. Server forgot a food allergy. Having to have food remade, waiting while other guest is eating isn't a fun experience. Salad advertised as a field of mixed greens. Nope, one tiny green piece..the rest iceberg. And alot of the iceberg was brown. Literally no one wants iceberg lettuce in a salad! Iceberg is cheap and contains zero nutrition. The fish on top was slimy and not edible. Had to box it up when it finally came back out. The lack of service here was astounding. I will say, it was a pretty clean establishment, windows could use a cleaning but overall, environment felt and...
