The Birthplace of Beef's!
The Birthplace of Beef's!
Walking into this Beef's recently with a group of my best friends brought back a LOT of memories!
Memories of walking into the ONLY Beef 'O' Brady's in existence and being greeted by its founder, Mister Jim 'Beef 'O' Brady's' Mellody!
Those were some wonderfully wild days of wingin' it!
It was especially heartwarming as we entered, to see a large portrait of Jim Mellody on the wall just inside the door.
I looked up at that picture and commented "Well Hello, Jim!", followed by hearing a voice asking "Did you know my father?".
As I turned my head, we were greeted by a young man who introduced himself as Sean Mellody, saying "He's my dad!". THAT was really cool!
All of us had personal remembrances of Beef's creator that we briefly shared with son, Sean. Awesome stuff!
Of course, most of us ordered Traditional WINGS with Beef's Signature Buffalo sauce. I ordered mine as I always have, just a bit crispy with a side of Ranch!
What I got was EXACTLY what I remember getting on that very first way-back-when Beef's visit. That was some of the best two-handed chicken wing saucy gnawing ever! As I looked around our table all I saw was happy campers with 3-year old messy faces! YES!
My fine group did order something that wasn't offered back in 1985.
Fried Pickles.
Man! If we'd had those back then along with the wings, Mr Mellody would have renamed the place Beef OHHHHHHHH Brady's!!
Ha Ha!
Sometimes Nostalgia plays a dirty trick on us.
That saying, 'You can't go back home', comes to mind.
But, as we were breathing in this original Beef's atmosphere, remembering the tables are a little crowded, and reliving bulky tube TV's blaring ballgame cheers, all things became clear.
This little cradle of Beef's infancy still brings comfort and comfort food to Beef's alumni, old and new....
Thanks for the memories, Mr Mellody.

This is one of the 1st in this sports bar chain. I used to live right by it and some year (cant quite remember) it got so cold over xmas that the power was out EVERYWHERE. We couldn't cook our turkey so we drove around and this joint was the ONLY place we could find open and with power turned on. Chicken wings & beer for Xmas dinner I loved it LOL.- specially since my EX didn't want me drinking well NO excuse here for teetotaling.

Really blown away. Ordered off the uber eats app. Paid nearly 80.00 dollars for 4 sub par dinners and charge a service fee on Jan 31 2020. Fish and chips was more like fish sticks not to mention there was only 10 or so fries then there was no dressings on the so called signature burgers I am so disappointed. Will never order from here again. I was really excited to try such an iconic place in my area. Will not recommend this place to anyone. I wish I could leave no stars

I stopped for a beer and saw 2 roaches crawling around the bar area. The picture shown is of the garbage by the back of the bar, and that roach walked all over everything, including glassware. So glad I wasn't hungry, and drank from the bottle...

Pretty sure our server was trained to be the worst one I have ever had. Blatantly rude. Took 30 minutes to take my order and then when a guest asked for their check, I overheard her bad mouthing the customer to another table. Beef o Brady's, hire new employees. She's making y'all look terrible

This is the original Beef o' Bradys,,,the one that started it all. The menu is large with a good selection. Food is good and flavorful. Of course they are known for the " wings" which has a variety of sauces, bone in or boneless. Either way it's satisfying.
Service is pleasant and attentive.
My only down side is the parking. As I said they are original so back in '86 the area wasn't as large and busy as it is now. Just go early...

A fun, friendly, family oriented atmosphere. The food is awesome. From Burgers to wings, blackened shrimp, or a salad, you can't go wrong. Kitchen staff was spot on with hitting the mark on special requests. Our server was a kind, sweet, professional and informative young lady. From greeting customers with a smile, checking in often to getting the food out fast. Overall great experience. Ask for Charity, or Izzy, you won't be disappointed.
