Beef O’ Brady’s is an American restaurant franchise serving lunch and dinner, specializing in American food and bar cuisine.
Beef O’ Brady’s is an American restaurant specializing in classic American and bar cuisine. There are over 100 locations in Florida, with over 100 more located in 24 states across the US. A small number of locations are also found outside the country, such as in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
The first Beef O’ Brady’s restaurant was opened in 1985 in Brandon, Florida. At the time, it was called Beefy's, and it was a version of an Irish pub but without serving hard liquor to customers. Founder Jim Mellody wanted to create a family-friendly restaurant serving traditional American and Irish pub food but since his target customers were families, he didn’t want it to be a typical pub.
When he opened the first restaurant, he was serving steaks and experimented with recipes for a few years. He eventually created the restaurant’s signature dish, which is the Buffalo chicken wings, using bleu cheese, and the rest, as they say, is history. The restaurant became famous for its bleu cheese Buffalo wings, and it eventually expanded to open several locations across Florida.
They began franchising in 1998, and by 2000, they had 40 locations. Most of Mellody’s interest was sold, with 9 locations being retained by the family. In 2023, there are 125 locations in Florida, and 211 in 24 states, plus more locations abroad.
