Tonight my oldest son and I found ourselves at Beef O'Brady's after an evening of truck shopping…read more It was getting late, we were both hungry, and a good burger sounded a whole lot better than cooking. Before we even ordered, my son looked across the restaurant and said, "Don't we know that guy?" Sure enough, I turned around and there was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Funny how life works sometimes--you go out looking for supper and end up catching up with someone you haven't seen in forever. I ordered the O'Brady Burger with fries, and my son went with the wings and fries. The food came out after a short wait, hot off the grill and looking every bit as good as it tasted. That first bite of the burger sealed the deal. It was juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of the better burgers I've had in quite a while. The fries were hot, crispy, and exactly what fries ought to be. Between the great food, friendly service, and unexpectedly reconnecting with an old friend, it turned into one of those meals that reminds you why local restaurants are worth supporting. I don't make it over to Hoover as often as I'd like, but Beef O'Brady's is definitely staying on my list when I'm in the area. And with a Tuscaloosa location reportedly on the way, I'm looking forward to making it a regular stop a whole lot closer to home. Sometimes the best nights aren't planned--they just happen over a great burger and good company.

I still enjoy a trip to Beefs. The food is consistent, plenty of menu choices for food and drinks…read more I love that they have specials every day. Recently came on 99 cent wings day. Wings were great! Service is always good. Love the outdoor seating area. Nice place for the dogs. Ambiance is casual.

Restaurant roulette is what you play when trying some mom-pop joints with few Yelp reviews,…read moreespecially when those few are widely mixed. One Yelper said they'd pull up to Docks on their boat if on a waterfront. That got my attention. Another Yelper said that the burgers were overcooked and the wait staff were overworked. I guess it's all about timing on those experiences. My experience at Docks was very pleasant. I ordered the hamburger steak, cooked medium. It was. And it was exactly what I wanted. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. If there's any knock against Docks, it would be that it was very dark inside, especially when it is light outside. Oh well, I enjoyed my visit.

1. Parking - we parked across the street in Avondale Park. Many other vehicles were parked there,…read moretoo. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the restaurant, it was clear they were not there. Since I didn't see any other open establishments, this is a mystery to me. 2. Service 3/5 - Our purses were checked at the door by a security guard with a very big gun on his side. Our server ignored our table. Another server saw us sitting for about 10 minutes or so and stepped in. She did an excellent job, and we appreciated her service. A 20% gratuity was added to each of our four checks. This was not mentioned in advance, and we did not see it posted. 3. Food 4/5 - The catfish was divine! It was well seasoned and melted in my mouth. The sides offered were limited. I wanted the fried green tomatoes, but they were a premium side with a $4.50 upcharge. I went with the sweet potato fries with powdered sugar and brown sugar (it was supposed to melt on top of the fries, but it did not). They were something to put on my stomach. 4. Environment 2/5 - This is also a Hookah bar. When we arrived, they were smoking outside on the patio, but later someone was smoking inside. I will pass on this restaurant the next time I am in Birmingham.

Came here with my friends before and after the spa visit at Ross Bridge. Before the spa visit, we…read moreordered some mimosas. Our bartender, Ella, was great and so attentive. She provided excellent service, and the drinks were reasonably priced. We came back after our appointment with a bigger group, and the service was still good. Our group of 6 had a variety of orders, but it was mainly appetizer-type foods. The wings were really good and very flavorful. I did not really enjoy the steak nachos. They had way too much sour cream on them, which took away from the overall flavor of the nachos. While the steak on it was very flavorful and the portion was a nice size, I would have liked to see the fillings on top more evenly distributed so they wouldn't take away from the flavor. The drinks were still perfect, and our service was still good. I would definitely return but would likely not order the nachos. I would order the wings again, though.

I love the to go option available for your beverage. The atmosphere is more relaxed in the clubhouse restaurant and casual. Great for groups. We decided to grab some food from here - post spa appts. In my group of 6 we ordered a couple of things. Burgers , quesadillas, wings, nachos etc. I had steak nachos and I did not love them. There was probably 100 chips and 3 piece of steak! I also forgot to say no sour cream.... I was disappointed in myself. I think overall , everyone else was pretty satisfied with their food. Our service was decent. This was my first time dining here. I wouldn't order the nachos again but I would come here again for drinks.

The standouts were the spinach and artichoke dip, the crab cake, and the cilantro rice. I loved the shrimp too!! I must come back and try the dessert cookie skillet. It looked delicious.

Service was great. Definitely need reservations. We were there tonight, on a Monday. Place was packed. My only complaints: 1) It's a very load restaurant and we had a very hard time hearing each other. 2) The seats lean back so you have to sit up right without your back to the chair. I ended up grabbing a bolster from a bench near the hostess stand for my mom.

For entree, I ordered the Blackened Wild Louisiana Redfish, and I would definitely get it again! The blackened seasoning was perfection, and I thought that the fried okra were well done too. We also tried a dessert that I can't remember the name of - it was chocolatey, creamy, and delicious! I really liked the atmosphere - a good combo of formal while being unstuffy. We brought some family that was in town, and we were definitely pleased with the experience!

Food first, thoughts after... My husband and I went here…read morerecently for date night. Everyone was friendly from the greeter to our server. We were seated at a 2 person table with a window view. Tight corner but still very intimate. The overall restaurant vibes were bright and fresh. We got 3 apps and 2 entrees. The octopus dish was delicious. Brussel sprouts was covered in a rich sweet sauce. We're a savory couple so not too interested. The pork belly was cooked well and topped over grits with an egg on top. Wow! My husband got the duck confit and I got the streak frites. Overall the sauces on both were way too salty so it was hard for us to eat and finish. Reasonably priced as we got 4 drinks, 3 apps, and 2 entrees totaling a little over $200. Overall I still have a great time with my love but unfortunately I don't think we will come back.

We all agreed beforehand that we wanted to try a new place that felt pretty relaxed and had outdoor seating. This place gave everything, plus some! We didn't have to wait long for a table, and our waiter was very attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all of our questions & helped me decide what to order. The outdoor seating is spacious & it was nice to hear the live music coming from a neighboring business. My friends got the Goofy Foot drink & said that it was good but definitely on the stronger side w/the tequila. I opted for a glass of Riesling, it was delicious & paired perfectly with my meal. We didn't get any appetizers. I ordered the fish of the day: Red Snapper w/a Sweet Pea, Tomato & Saffron Risotto 20/10 I always judge food on whether it's "first bite" good & every piece on my plate passed the test. One of my friends chose the Smoked Salmon Pizza, which I was a bit skeptical about at first, but I tried a slice & it was so good. Definitely an out of the ordinary pizza combo that made me rethink all the ways smoked salmon can be used. Another friend ordered the Grilled Ribeye w/Brussel Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes, she loved it! The espresso martinis were also delicious. I wanted a cannoli for dessert but they were sold out, unfortunately. Overall, I'll definitely be returning b/c the food, pricing & atmosphere are all worth the drive. Can't wait to try the lunch menu next!
