| - Beef O'Brady's is a franchise hailing from Florida that is basically a sports bar with a full menu (pizza, burgers, wings, BBQ, etc.) however is more "kid friendly". Overall a great concept to come to the Ultra Star Cinema/new bowling alley complex on Waddell & Litchfield. TVs everywhere, employees dressed in referee jerseys, and all the typical sports bar type tchotchkes on the wall. They even have an area for kids that has XBox consoles setup with NHL 2012 and other sports oriented video games to play.
The beer was cold, and the service was great, but my "beef' (pun intended) was that the food was below average. At the time of our visit they had been open less than a week, so I'm not going to be overly critical, but there are definitely some kinks to work out. The management didn't appear to be overly engaged, and the cook staff seemed really confused and the kitchen was incredibly slow considering how few people were in there. The wings I had were average - somewhat overcooked and not enough sauce (and certainly not spicy enough). Fries were good.
I'm sure they'll get their restaurant off the ground, but for management - I would have expected you to be more proactive, touching tables, asking for feedback - I'm not sure whether this was a "soft opening" but regardless you need to be chatting it up with customers and really ensuring things are running smoothly. My rating is weighted high considering the newness of the operation and I look forward to your improvement. Let's just hope that's sooner rather than later - there is plenty of competition in the area.
