| - This was my second time trying the restaurant and unfortunately will be my last. From the moment I sat down the venue seems dark and dingy like an outdated sports bar (this bar would be a great candidate for the shoe Bar Rescue), with the smell of spilt beer from the night before resonating from the carpet. Today is St. Patricks day yet they only had two servers/ bar tenders (had to make their own drinks/ run their own food/ refill drinks/ answer the phone/ take to go orders/ and cash people out), terrible management mistake for a busy holiday like SPD with a name like Beef 'O' Brady's. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and for got how bad it was the first time, and got the same rancid moldy flavored drink. I'm not sure if they don't clean the iced tea machine or if the lemonade is bad, but I can tell you anyone with a iced tea was not drinking it (as I witnessed many people with full glasses). All I wanted was some fresh corned beef on a ruben and got, thinly sliced lunch meet that had been grilled to a crisp and then put on greasy rye bread (dripping with grease). Since the Arnold Palmer was bad, I decided to opt for a beer (no Irish beers except for Guinness) so I ordered a Shiner Bock. The beer came out stale/ flat/ warmer than expected. I then returned that beer and opted for a bottled beer...
I was not happy with any of my experiences here, and will never return as this is not my cup of tea. Oh, and by the way it wasn't cheap as the quality of food would have you expect. My tab for a Ruben and Stella was $15 not including tip.
I feel bad for the overworked wait staff as they remained friendly throughout the whole time. If you have taste buds, like your money, and a good atmosphere to enjoy a lunch or dinner; this is not your spot.
Sorry guys, I wanted to like it but I couldn't.
Areas for improvement:
* Heighten the roof and brighten up the place
* Get rid of the carpet
* hire more staff
* lunch specials (drive in the businesses around you)
* Higher quality ingratiates (you should have had fresh cooked thick corned beef on St. Patricks day)
* Make sure your beer is being stored at the right temperature and test all your beers for freshness.
* Take pride in your business or you'll lose the opportunity to serve repeat customers.
