If you have never had a decent meal in your life, this place might seem good to you. However, their quality of food does not reflect the exorbitant price they think this hogfeed is worth. On one visit our party was given a nice basket of bread, crackers, and butter. Next visit (because I thought I just picked the wrong things on the menu; i.e. chicken wings - $8 for frozen section wings, which the waitress asked the level of hotness I wanted, but didn't seem to matter as the chicken wings had no sauce on them) we received no bread and cracker basket. Make up your mind Brady. When an associate of mine was given the option of two sides for her fish she opted for both sides being waffle fries, and they clearly only put one portion of waffle fries on the plate. Do yourself a favor and go to the taco bell next door.

I feel that this review needs to be updated. Now that smoking is banned in Michigan, Brady's is far less sticky and smells much nicer The staff is generally pretty friendly and the food is ok. However, the menu could use some updating. They have one item that is unusual and absolutely delicious. The Reuben Egg Roll is one of the best things I have tasted in Michigan. It's so simple, yet so good. Maybe they should do a turkey cheese burger egg roll... mmmmmm.

don't think you should do carry out - got a burger - medium rare - dry as a bone and the bun was toasted but seemed on the stale side - I remember when Matthew Brady ran the place that would never happen

Freindly staff. Not impressed with the ceaser salad (the chicken was very dry) and the Fried Walleye was very pricey for only getting one strip. The waffle fries are great but so far it hasn't overall impressed me. I would go back but would not recommend it to friends.

Good burgers, fries and onion rings.I'm generally not a big dessert person but I had to try the key lime pie. I'm certain it was a frozen dessert ( think Sara Lee ) Not a chance it is homemade as stated.

Don't let the plane exterior fool you! Brady's is quiet, delicious, and moderately priced. I'm a fan of the loaded chilli, but the sandwiches, fries, and burgers are also very good. It can be a little smokey around the bar area, but nontheless, this small tavern is a hidden gem.

I went to Brady's with a friend when we noticed that because of the holiday, Tavern on 13 was closed. I was pleasantly surprised. Don't let the true tavern decor fool you, Brady's serves up some great classics that won't break the bank. I enjoyed a garden burger with sweet potato fries (served with honey mustard) and a diet coke for like $12. Overall the service was great, waitstaff really nice, food was good, and it was inexpensive (and open on New Year's Day!), I would definitely recommend Brady's to a friend.

Had dinner here a few nights ago. We were in the mood for burgers and had not yet tried this place so off we went. We were seated at a high-top, which typically I don't like, but the chairs were very comfortable - so much so that my companion mentioned it twice. Our waitress was very friendly and provided some honest advice. They have two types of onion rings - I believe the menu divides them up into thin and gourmet thick. We were considering a half order of each to figure out which one we liked better. She advised that the thin are the house-made ones and that a half order would be enough for two. We ordered these - I would classify them as onion strings, rather than rings. However, they were well-seasoned and thus tasty. We did polish off the entire half order i.e. it might be enough for two, but not enough for three. We each ordered the Famous One. FYI - it is just what they call their burger i.e. there isn't any special sauce or anything... which we were happy about. It is a 1/2 pound burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles and raw onion. Bun is good. Burger nice and juicy. Could have been a little better seasoned, but the onion strings made up for the lack of salt. Lettuce was crisp and fresh i.e. not like some places where you are scared by the green stuff. One of us ordered sauteed mushrooms on our burger for 99 cents more - they were okay, nothing special, but nothing bad. I believe the burger was $7.19 if my memory serves me right. Restaurant is smoke free as of this past summer according to a sign. I had two flat screen tvs in view. Our biggest complaint was the tiny straw for the water - when you are complaining about the straw, you know you had a good meal. A good place for a burger.

I went here with Bubba for lunch yesterday. I was told by someone to try the "Famous One" burger. Charlie-Brown style with swiss and bacon. It was rated the 3rd best burger in Detroit. It was a pretty good burger. It didn't blow my mind though. Then again it's hard to make a remarkable and unique burger. It's a rare occasion for me to have a truly awful burger. At the same time, it's rare to have a burger that's fantastic either. I was hoping they had some sort of special sauce or spices on it but it didn't. It was just...normal.

I really just don't love this place. My husband likes the garbage salad with anchovies. Ugh, just not yummy to me. When I'm thinking of a great place for a burger I'd rather go to Red Coat.

Love this place! Love it. Used to live in Southfield and went there every chance I got. Great service great menu (which just got re- done by the way) specials everyday, drink specials most days. Always in the running for the best burger in the metro area They have a fish fry every Friday and some of the best Mac & Cheese in the metro area. If you've never been and you like pub style atmosphere with anything but pub food go to Brady's

Molly Brown Salad is one of my favorite things in this world. Not such a fan of this place for anything else. I guess if you are trapped in suburbia and you can walk here, it is fine. Bunch of deluded parents indulging their alcoholism in public, which somehow makes it communal.

One of my Gma's favorites spots-- and not because Matt (my friend who she thinks is ADORABLE and refers to her boyfriend) used to work there! They are known for their burgers. They proudly boast that they have the "Famous One," which was voted 3rd best in Detroit. Nothing wrong with a Bronze medal I suppose. Ordering your burger Charlie Brown style ( Bacon and Swiss) is quite popular here... except due to my aversion to swiss cheese I tend to shy away from it. Their french fries are phenomenal-- real crispy, yet not burned. The last few times I have been here it seems like they are struggling to find the "perfect temperature" on the thermostat because it ranges from ICE cold to uncomfortably warm.

Great food, awesome prices and cool atmosphere! You've gotta love the Penny bar top. I've never seen anything like it. I can't say enough about this place. They also run daily special via Facebook facebook.com/BradysTavern that I often take advantage of. If you're into FREE food they sweepstakes and you can win a $50 gift card. I recommend checking it out. facebook.com/BradysTaver…

Brady's is a good place to stop in for a burger and a beer. It has a neighborhood feel, friendly staff and decent prices. Located in a strip mall off Southfield Road north of 13, it has ample lot parking.

Brady's became smoke free over the summer and the frequency of my visits about doubled. The combination of consistently delicious bar fare (the best onion rings I have found in the area, stringy crunchy thin not frozen fried) and above the call of duty service makes this place hum with business every night. A clear favorite across the board (young families, stuffy business types, first dates, the post church choir crowd) and I have never had to wait over 15 minutes for a table!

Erin W.
Being a pub, Brady's isn't necessarily the first place I think of to go get dinner, but whenever I wind up there, I always walk away satisfied. I usually get a burger of some variety (the famous one, the famous one "even leaner" with angus beef, the turkey burger and the veggie burger have all been great). Fries and onion rings are also delicious. I haven't strayed too far from these staples on the menu, but my dining partners have all been very satisfied with their choices as well. The atmosphere is kind of dark and quiet most of the time. Brady's caters to a pretty good mix of the local populous, and is a good destination for someone wanting to sit at the bar, to an extended family with kids. The wait staff is also friendly and, in my experience, have always been quick and accurate. I seem to be "winding up" there more and more often these days...

Andy O.
Brady's is one of my local staples. I've never had a bad meal there and over the last 3 or 4 years, it's safe to say I've been there probably in the range of 15 times. The service is always friendly, and the food, again the food wins out. My favorite thing is a sow-win of a plate of chili cheese fries. Don't turn your nose up to this until you've at least given it a try, they are unreal. Their burgers and sandwiches are all really good, and while I do not typically go for their entrees, I've seen others order them and they all looked solid.

Ah! This is one of my favorite haunts. I go here frequently and have for many years. I have never been disappointed in the food or the friendly service. I live in PR, but bypass the Ferndale, Royal Oak and Woodward watering- holes every time and head over to Brady's. Good food, good drinks, and friendly people.

I've been going to Brady's for years. Have always loved the neighborhood atmosphere and good food and drinks. But now they have something I've been looking for for 20 years. Back when downtown Jackson Mississippi was a bustling place I had the best bread pudding I could ever imagine. And like I said I've tried and tried to find one to compare. The manager, Jennifer, at Brady's makes a bread pudding that's second to none! With a scoop of vanilla ice cream and vanilla caramel sauce it's heaven on earth. Just to be sure I had it a second time and it was even better than the first! Come and sit on their patio and listen to good music and eat great food. Finish with a homemade bread pudding. You'll be happy you did!

Slow service, overpriced for the quality/quantity of the food, and just all-around lackluster. This is one of those neighborhood favorites that you go to because you've always gone there, but you're not entirely sure why. We are so lucky to live in an area with an amazing offering of culinary delights. Why go to a sub-par pub? Life is too short to eat boring food.

This cozy little spot in Beverly Hills serves up some pretty descent food. Not pricey at all and with a fully stocked bar, it's been a family favorite for years. This is one of those places where I order the same thing every time - the Pancho Burger! This deliciously messy burger topped with chilli, cheese, and sour cream hits the spot every time I eat it! If you're in the area, great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink.

I've been here quite a few times now and overall it's okay. There are some highlights for me food-wise, including the short rib and brisket burger and the deep fried rueben egg roll. The decor is pretty dated, and the tables have that decade long glaze that comes from a lack of a good deep clean. You know the kind, where some cleaning spray has become an unholy union with the dust and dirt and has firmly implanted itself into the tables and chairs. Dark, kind of dingy, and there are green lights up all the time. But, I'm not terribly hard to please decor-wise and not basing my 3 stars on it if the food is good (and it generally is good here). What I'm basing the 3 stars on is my sense of regret whenever I see my bill. It seems like each time I've gone there with my wife and had dinner, I end up leaving after paying a $70-80 tab. This is with 2 glasses of wine and (maybe) a beer for me, and two entrees and two appetizers. So that's one star down. The next is an experience I had back in February of this year. We went out on a Monday night (2/23) because that's the only day we could get my mother-in-law to watch our kids. This was the day before my wife's birthday (2/24), and even though we'd been there a number of times before, they absolutely refused any kind of free dessert for her birthday because it wasn't exactly the day of. Now we're not regulars, but I've spent a guesstimate of $500 there between 5 sit down dinners and carry out orders. A little ice cream and a piece of cake would have gone a long way to make me feel better about their high prices, but in this case their refusal to even do that made me feel the opposite about them. Actually, the more I think about it more it pisses me off. So that's a 2 star. Next time I'll drive another tenth of a mile and get Taco Bell instead, and if the wife suggests it I'll send her this link.

Brady's is a good, reliable local restaurant and bar. I can't count the number of times over the past 20-ish years my parents and I have come here for a casual last-minute dinner. My usual order involves chili, either their regular variety or chicken, and a sandwich or salad. Food isn't gourmet, but it is tasty for the most part. My family's favorites are the turkey Reuben, the famous one, and the Maurice salad. The fried pickles are spears, not chips, which is a bit different than the normal fried pickle order at restaurants. The cookies and ice cream dessert is okay, not awesome, but will satisfy a dessert craving. Given I'm not a drinker, I can't give any personal recommendations for alcoholic beverages, but I do know that they come to the table quite strong. I greatly enjoy Quizzo on Saturday evenings. Getting a table requires coming a bit early, maybe around 8:30 or so, but I think it's worth the effort. I do have a couple of issues with Brady's, though. The food is quite expensive. Full-size salads and burgers cost more than $10, more than you would expect for both this kind of place and the quality of food, which as I mentioned earlier is tasty but certainly not gourmet. Additionally, the service is sometimes pretty slow or you have to deal with cranky wait staff. Overall, though, I'll still come back.

Been a few times, not bad but not great. The prices are kind of high for what you get. The menu is kind of simple not a ton of choices, most of the usual stuff nothing too exciting. I went for the burger and it was ok. There's nothing to get to excited about at this place. I did get a few smithwicks that were on special and for me that was what I enjoyed the most.

Went here for lunch today with a dear friend. Although I've been here before, I've yet to review this nice neighborhood tavern. On our visit today we were promptly seated and greeted by our wonderful waitress Sheila. She informed us that all burgers were a dollar less because beef prices had dropped, ironic, as many reviews state how pricy this place is. I had the patty melt with fries and my friend had the soup in a bread bowl. My patty melt was outstanding!!! Perfectly cooked with nice crispy bread. Yummy!!! As for my friend's soup, he loved his as well. Got the bill and hit the road in no time at all. If I was a person on a limited time lunch, this would be the place to go. I was in no rush, but it's nice to know there is a place to go for great food that is quickly served.

Immediately after my post I received an apologetic email from their manager, who asked me to contact her directly. Very impressed with the responsiveness. I think we will give it another shot. 6/21 Update! I completely take back my bad review. We sat at the bar, service was phenomenal, and the food was great. We will be regulars!

Chris T.
I'm giving it three because the service was good. Wait staff was knowledgable and food came out in a timely matter. However, $20 for a chicken sandwich, SIDE of fries and a beer? Get out. Even if the food was exceptional (which it is not) that would be a premium price. I'd like to also point out that the up charge for a side of fries instead of chips yielded about 8 fries. Most of us left feeling we needed more food, and somewhat cheated. Don't think my work crew and I will be returning anytime soon.

Eric M.
Meh - great service despite them giving away our table. Clam chowder was good but didn't live up to our expectations. Salads were ok and our son didn't like the grilled chicken breast sandwich. Our daughter had the steak sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall pricey for the quality of food. We come here once a year after our daughters dance recital down the road and now I know why we only come once a year.

First time here and super impressed. I thought it would be totally different inside. Not bad but just different. It was really nice inside and had a old irish pub feeling - as it should! Service was great, beer was big n cold, and prices were decent! I live really close so this will be a good go to place for some burgers and beer. They always send coupons in the mail but of course I forgot mine! Til next time, Brady's Tavern!

Jeff K.
I want to love this place in the worst way but I just dont. I live right around the corner but it is expensive for what it is. The food is good but not spectacular and I feel like the prices demand spectacular. The burgers are super solid and the Garbage Salad is something that is hard to argue with but, again, it just comes down to value for me. Solid neighborhood bar just could/should be better.

1st time going back to Brady's since I was in High School (2007). The Good: - Service was excellent, went for MNF, pretty crowded but the server was on top of her game and made the experience very enjoyable. - Decent beer specials for the football game. The Bad - The food was simply average. Got an order of wings that were clearly frozen, thrown in the fryer and covered with a simple Franks Red Hot Sauce. Also got a cheeseburger which previously was one of my favorite burgers in town. That is no longer the case, while the patty was cooked properly, again it appeared to be a simple frozen patty thrown on the grill with little seasoning. I would expect frozen products if I was paying diner prices but that is not the case. The wings were $9.29 for 8 below average wings and the burger was north of $10. I am sad to say that Brady's is no longer a place that I will attend on the rare occasion that I travel back to my hometown.

Prices up, quality down. Disappointed. Bagged clam chowder you can stand a spoon up in and a turkey ruben that has no resemblance whatsoever to a ruben sandwich. Kaiser roll? For a ruben? We won't be revisiting this place we once enjoyed.

Whether you order the "chili all the way", a bread bowl overflowing with chili, onions and cheese or the "michigan salad", it's all delicious. If you are hungry ,Order the famous poncho burger ( not listed on the menu), open faced burger smothered in chili. Our family came for dinner, because there is something for everyone, and the serving size is just right. The star of the night was our server, Justin. A young guy with excellent old school customer service skills. This was the first time that we've been here in several years, and we look forward to coming back.

I've been visiting Brady's more frequently of rate, and my previous assessment stands. If anything, I am more inclined to bump them up to four stars. They've recently added a few new items to their menu, and so far all of the fresh offerings have been a hit for me. Items of note include a "Dagwood" deli sandwich inspired by the newspaper funny strip "Blondie," a ground chicken burger that is surprisingly juicy and flavorful, and an amped-up version of their grilled cheese appropriately dubbed "Grilled Cheese Deluxe." That last one may sound underwhelming, but I encourage you to think again. You can load it up with all kinds of add-ons like avocado, grilled onion, tomato, bacon, and even ham/turkey/pastrami/bleu cheese if you like.

Beer lunch? Why I'd love to! We stopped in here for lunch earlier this week and had a decent meal. The interior is exactly what you would expect from the name, but the cushiony-ness of my chair was an unexpected surprise :) There is parking out front for Irish only... We're not Irish so we didn't park there, I was afraid there'd be some DNA testing or something if you used one of those spots. Food was pretty good - I ordered a Famous One Charlie Brown style (Burger with swiss and bacon) It was a good burger and adequately filling. The menu had it's fair share of other sandwiches, salads and entree like items. The only negative I might add is that the beer prices were steep... Way steep. And the crowd was a bit geriatric (But I went to lunch in Beverly Hills... what was I expecting?)

This is a tough one. I love the atmosphere of Brady's. Back before I had to give up eating gluten, I loved their fish. My husband still loves it, and would like to eat there often, but they don't identify anything as gluten free, and their menu options that MIGHT be gluten free are really limited. Bummed!

Miranda L.
I go to Brady's about once every other month for lunch. They are quick and the food is always hot. Their chili is really good. Today, I did a carry-out. I wanted a cheese burger and fries. I asked for the burger medium. Once I got in the car and started eating, I realized the burger was rare. Yuck. Also, the price was ridiculous. I paid $15.00 for a cheese burger and fries (not including tip). The slice of American cheese was $1.49. That's a rip-off in my book. I might come back some day, but only if someone else is paying!

Went last evening with friends. They were out of several items. Husband had fried clams from the appetizer menu. I was forced to order what they called an "oversized" salad. While tasty, it was barely dinner salad size....I do not recommend one if you are hungry. VERY small and not chopped adequately. Plus everything is overpriced and a la carte. Waste of $24.00. Never going back and I do not recommend this "full of itself" place.......

Laura J.
Loved the neighborhood atmosphere of this place. Dark without being too biker. I noticed a couple of families. Overall we liked the food. I thought the portions were small for the price. I left wanting a dessert or something which is not what I usually think when I'm leaving a bar. Very disappointed with the drinks. We paid $6.70 for each drink and I could not really taste the alcohol. Maybe I'm spoiled but for almost $7, if I have a drink on an empty stomach I expect to feel it a little. I doubt that we'll be going back.

Jennifer C.
I love this place. The servings of Shiraz are generous and my husband loves the beer selection. The veggie burger AND the salmon burger are great. They also have a BLT wrap that is good. Oh and if the tomato soup is the soup of the day, give it a try. You will not be disapppointed.

Love this place! Love it. Used to live in Southfield and went there every chance I got. Great service great menu (which just got re- done by the way) specials everyday, drink specials most days. Always in the running for the best burger in the metro area They have a fish fry every Friday and some of the best Mac & Cheese in the metro area. If you've never been and you like pub style atmosphere with anything but pub food go to Brady's

Molly Brown Salad is one of my favorite things in this world. Not such a fan of this place for anything else. I guess if you are trapped in suburbia and you can walk here, it is fine. Bunch of deluded parents indulging their alcoholism in public, which somehow makes it communal.

One of my Gma's favorites spots-- and not because Matt (my friend who she thinks is ADORABLE and refers to her boyfriend) used to work there! They are known for their burgers. They proudly boast that they have the "Famous One," which was voted 3rd best in Detroit. Nothing wrong with a Bronze medal I suppose. Ordering your burger Charlie Brown style ( Bacon and Swiss) is quite popular here... except due to my aversion to swiss cheese I tend to shy away from it. Their french fries are phenomenal-- real crispy, yet not burned. The last few times I have been here it seems like they are struggling to find the "perfect temperature" on the thermostat because it ranges from ICE cold to uncomfortably warm.

Great food, awesome prices and cool atmosphere! You've gotta love the Penny bar top. I've never seen anything like it. I can't say enough about this place. They also run daily special via Facebook facebook.com/BradysTavern that I often take advantage of. If you're into FREE food they sweepstakes and you can win a $50 gift card. I recommend checking it out. facebook.com/BradysTaver…

Brady's is a good place to stop in for a burger and a beer. It has a neighborhood feel, friendly staff and decent prices. Located in a strip mall off Southfield Road north of 13, it has ample lot parking.

Brady's became smoke free over the summer and the frequency of my visits about doubled. The combination of consistently delicious bar fare (the best onion rings I have found in the area, stringy crunchy thin not frozen fried) and above the call of duty service makes this place hum with business every night. A clear favorite across the board (young families, stuffy business types, first dates, the post church choir crowd) and I have never had to wait over 15 minutes for a table!

Being a pub, Brady's isn't necessarily the first place I think of to go get dinner, but whenever I wind up there, I always walk away satisfied. I usually get a burger of some variety (the famous one, the famous one "even leaner" with angus beef, the turkey burger and the veggie burger have all been great). Fries and onion rings are also delicious. I haven't strayed too far from these staples on the menu, but my dining partners have all been very satisfied with their choices as well. The atmosphere is kind of dark and quiet most of the time. Brady's caters to a pretty good mix of the local populous, and is a good destination for someone wanting to sit at the bar, to an extended family with kids. The wait staff is also friendly and, in my experience, have always been quick and accurate. I seem to be "winding up" there more and more often these days...

Brady's is one of my local staples. I've never had a bad meal there and over the last 3 or 4 years, it's safe to say I've been there probably in the range of 15 times. The service is always friendly, and the food, again the food wins out. My favorite thing is a sow-win of a plate of chili cheese fries. Don't turn your nose up to this until you've at least given it a try, they are unreal. Their burgers and sandwiches are all really good, and while I do not typically go for their entrees, I've seen others order them and they all looked solid.

I like it, my grandparent like it, and my dad likes it. I recommend it if you like not so loud and crazy bars or taverns...
(3)Reginald S.
Ah! This is one of my favorite haunts. I go here frequently and have for many years. I have never been disappointed in the food or the friendly service. I live in PR, but bypass the Ferndale, Royal Oak and Woodward watering- holes every time and head over to Brady's. Good food, good drinks, and friendly people.
(4)Joy Y.
I've been going to Brady's for years. Have always loved the neighborhood atmosphere and good food and drinks. But now they have something I've been looking for for 20 years. Back when downtown Jackson Mississippi was a bustling place I had the best bread pudding I could ever imagine. And like I said I've tried and tried to find one to compare. The manager, Jennifer, at Brady's makes a bread pudding that's second to none! With a scoop of vanilla ice cream and vanilla caramel sauce it's heaven on earth. Just to be sure I had it a second time and it was even better than the first! Come and sit on their patio and listen to good music and eat great food. Finish with a homemade bread pudding. You'll be happy you did!
(5)Amanda M.
Slow service, overpriced for the quality/quantity of the food, and just all-around lackluster. This is one of those neighborhood favorites that you go to because you've always gone there, but you're not entirely sure why. We are so lucky to live in an area with an amazing offering of culinary delights. Why go to a sub-par pub? Life is too short to eat boring food.
(3)Chad C.
Brady's is a great bar and restaurant. They have phenomenal staff and quality food...praise jeanie she's awesome !!!!
(5)Mark B.
By the time they are done nickel and dime'ing you your simple burger becomes a $15.00 dinner. If it was the best burger ever then yeah, perhaps but....
(2)Rhonda L.
I love the garbage salad and the garbage burger too. Okay, I don't like plain boring burgers. They serve good food even late in the evening . Of course, for me, its also close and convenient, and consistently good.
(4)Laura L.
Love the burgers at Brady's. They are on my top 5 of best places for a great burger. Great service.
(4)Matthew P.
This cozy little spot in Beverly Hills serves up some pretty descent food. Not pricey at all and with a fully stocked bar, it's been a family favorite for years. This is one of those places where I order the same thing every time - the Pancho Burger! This deliciously messy burger topped with chilli, cheese, and sour cream hits the spot every time I eat it! If you're in the area, great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink.

I've been here quite a few times now and overall it's okay. There are some highlights for me food-wise, including the short rib and brisket burger and the deep fried rueben egg roll. The decor is pretty dated, and the tables have that decade long glaze that comes from a lack of a good deep clean. You know the kind, where some cleaning spray has become an unholy union with the dust and dirt and has firmly implanted itself into the tables and chairs. Dark, kind of dingy, and there are green lights up all the time. But, I'm not terribly hard to please decor-wise and not basing my 3 stars on it if the food is good (and it generally is good here). What I'm basing the 3 stars on is my sense of regret whenever I see my bill. It seems like each time I've gone there with my wife and had dinner, I end up leaving after paying a $70-80 tab. This is with 2 glasses of wine and (maybe) a beer for me, and two entrees and two appetizers. So that's one star down. The next is an experience I had back in February of this year. We went out on a Monday night (2/23) because that's the only day we could get my mother-in-law to watch our kids. This was the day before my wife's birthday (2/24), and even though we'd been there a number of times before, they absolutely refused any kind of free dessert for her birthday because it wasn't exactly the day of. Now we're not regulars, but I've spent a guesstimate of $500 there between 5 sit down dinners and carry out orders. A little ice cream and a piece of cake would have gone a long way to make me feel better about their high prices, but in this case their refusal to even do that made me feel the opposite about them. Actually, the more I think about it more it pisses me off. So that's a 2 star. Next time I'll drive another tenth of a mile and get Taco Bell instead, and if the wife suggests it I'll send her this link.

Brady's is a good, reliable local restaurant and bar. I can't count the number of times over the past 20-ish years my parents and I have come here for a casual last-minute dinner. My usual order involves chili, either their regular variety or chicken, and a sandwich or salad. Food isn't gourmet, but it is tasty for the most part. My family's favorites are the turkey Reuben, the famous one, and the Maurice salad. The fried pickles are spears, not chips, which is a bit different than the normal fried pickle order at restaurants. The cookies and ice cream dessert is okay, not awesome, but will satisfy a dessert craving. Given I'm not a drinker, I can't give any personal recommendations for alcoholic beverages, but I do know that they come to the table quite strong. I greatly enjoy Quizzo on Saturday evenings. Getting a table requires coming a bit early, maybe around 8:30 or so, but I think it's worth the effort. I do have a couple of issues with Brady's, though. The food is quite expensive. Full-size salads and burgers cost more than $10, more than you would expect for both this kind of place and the quality of food, which as I mentioned earlier is tasty but certainly not gourmet. Additionally, the service is sometimes pretty slow or you have to deal with cranky wait staff. Overall, though, I'll still come back.

Been a few times, not bad but not great. The prices are kind of high for what you get. The menu is kind of simple not a ton of choices, most of the usual stuff nothing too exciting. I went for the burger and it was ok. There's nothing to get to excited about at this place. I did get a few smithwicks that were on special and for me that was what I enjoyed the most.

Went here for lunch today with a dear friend. Although I've been here before, I've yet to review this nice neighborhood tavern. On our visit today we were promptly seated and greeted by our wonderful waitress Sheila. She informed us that all burgers were a dollar less because beef prices had dropped, ironic, as many reviews state how pricy this place is. I had the patty melt with fries and my friend had the soup in a bread bowl. My patty melt was outstanding!!! Perfectly cooked with nice crispy bread. Yummy!!! As for my friend's soup, he loved his as well. Got the bill and hit the road in no time at all. If I was a person on a limited time lunch, this would be the place to go. I was in no rush, but it's nice to know there is a place to go for great food that is quickly served.
(4)Aaron K.
Immediately after my post I received an apologetic email from their manager, who asked me to contact her directly. Very impressed with the responsiveness. I think we will give it another shot. 6/21 Update! I completely take back my bad review. We sat at the bar, service was phenomenal, and the food was great. We will be regulars!
(5)Chris T.
I'm giving it three because the service was good. Wait staff was knowledgable and food came out in a timely matter. However, $20 for a chicken sandwich, SIDE of fries and a beer? Get out. Even if the food was exceptional (which it is not) that would be a premium price. I'd like to also point out that the up charge for a side of fries instead of chips yielded about 8 fries. Most of us left feeling we needed more food, and somewhat cheated. Don't think my work crew and I will be returning anytime soon.
(3)Eric M.
Meh - great service despite them giving away our table. Clam chowder was good but didn't live up to our expectations. Salads were ok and our son didn't like the grilled chicken breast sandwich. Our daughter had the steak sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall pricey for the quality of food. We come here once a year after our daughters dance recital down the road and now I know why we only come once a year.
(3)Cyndi J.
First time here and super impressed. I thought it would be totally different inside. Not bad but just different. It was really nice inside and had a old irish pub feeling - as it should! Service was great, beer was big n cold, and prices were decent! I live really close so this will be a good go to place for some burgers and beer. They always send coupons in the mail but of course I forgot mine! Til next time, Brady's Tavern!
(5)Jeff K.
I want to love this place in the worst way but I just dont. I live right around the corner but it is expensive for what it is. The food is good but not spectacular and I feel like the prices demand spectacular. The burgers are super solid and the Garbage Salad is something that is hard to argue with but, again, it just comes down to value for me. Solid neighborhood bar just could/should be better.
(3)Ben M.
1st time going back to Brady's since I was in High School (2007). The Good: - Service was excellent, went for MNF, pretty crowded but the server was on top of her game and made the experience very enjoyable. - Decent beer specials for the football game. The Bad - The food was simply average. Got an order of wings that were clearly frozen, thrown in the fryer and covered with a simple Franks Red Hot Sauce. Also got a cheeseburger which previously was one of my favorite burgers in town. That is no longer the case, while the patty was cooked properly, again it appeared to be a simple frozen patty thrown on the grill with little seasoning. I would expect frozen products if I was paying diner prices but that is not the case. The wings were $9.29 for 8 below average wings and the burger was north of $10. I am sad to say that Brady's is no longer a place that I will attend on the rare occasion that I travel back to my hometown.

Stopped in for a quick drink between a wedding and reception. Had to ask to change the TV's to the local game. Limited draft selection, but the accommodated our large group in the back room.
(4)B W.
Prices up, quality down. Disappointed. Bagged clam chowder you can stand a spoon up in and a turkey ruben that has no resemblance whatsoever to a ruben sandwich. Kaiser roll? For a ruben? We won't be revisiting this place we once enjoyed.
(1)Thomas F.
My top pick for bars in the area. Older crowd, never any ruckus, good service. Very comfortable bar with great drink specials and an even better menu. One of the few places you can find walleye in the area. It gets very busy on weekend nights.
(4)Susan R.
Why did you put cold limp fries in my takeout?
(1)Jeff K.
Whether you order the "chili all the way", a bread bowl overflowing with chili, onions and cheese or the "michigan salad", it's all delicious. If you are hungry ,Order the famous poncho burger ( not listed on the menu), open faced burger smothered in chili. Our family came for dinner, because there is something for everyone, and the serving size is just right. The star of the night was our server, Justin. A young guy with excellent old school customer service skills. This was the first time that we've been here in several years, and we look forward to coming back.

I've been visiting Brady's more frequently of rate, and my previous assessment stands. If anything, I am more inclined to bump them up to four stars. They've recently added a few new items to their menu, and so far all of the fresh offerings have been a hit for me. Items of note include a "Dagwood" deli sandwich inspired by the newspaper funny strip "Blondie," a ground chicken burger that is surprisingly juicy and flavorful, and an amped-up version of their grilled cheese appropriately dubbed "Grilled Cheese Deluxe." That last one may sound underwhelming, but I encourage you to think again. You can load it up with all kinds of add-ons like avocado, grilled onion, tomato, bacon, and even ham/turkey/pastrami/bleu cheese if you like.

Beer lunch? Why I'd love to! We stopped in here for lunch earlier this week and had a decent meal. The interior is exactly what you would expect from the name, but the cushiony-ness of my chair was an unexpected surprise :) There is parking out front for Irish only... We're not Irish so we didn't park there, I was afraid there'd be some DNA testing or something if you used one of those spots. Food was pretty good - I ordered a Famous One Charlie Brown style (Burger with swiss and bacon) It was a good burger and adequately filling. The menu had it's fair share of other sandwiches, salads and entree like items. The only negative I might add is that the beer prices were steep... Way steep. And the crowd was a bit geriatric (But I went to lunch in Beverly Hills... what was I expecting?)
(4)Denise W.
This is a tough one. I love the atmosphere of Brady's. Back before I had to give up eating gluten, I loved their fish. My husband still loves it, and would like to eat there often, but they don't identify anything as gluten free, and their menu options that MIGHT be gluten free are really limited. Bummed!
(3)Miranda L.
I go to Brady's about once every other month for lunch. They are quick and the food is always hot. Their chili is really good. Today, I did a carry-out. I wanted a cheese burger and fries. I asked for the burger medium. Once I got in the car and started eating, I realized the burger was rare. Yuck. Also, the price was ridiculous. I paid $15.00 for a cheese burger and fries (not including tip). The slice of American cheese was $1.49. That's a rip-off in my book. I might come back some day, but only if someone else is paying!
(2)D B.
Went last evening with friends. They were out of several items. Husband had fried clams from the appetizer menu. I was forced to order what they called an "oversized" salad. While tasty, it was barely dinner salad size....I do not recommend one if you are hungry. VERY small and not chopped adequately. Plus everything is overpriced and a la carte. Waste of $24.00. Never going back and I do not recommend this "full of itself" place.......
(2)Laura J.
Loved the neighborhood atmosphere of this place. Dark without being too biker. I noticed a couple of families. Overall we liked the food. I thought the portions were small for the price. I left wanting a dessert or something which is not what I usually think when I'm leaving a bar. Very disappointed with the drinks. We paid $6.70 for each drink and I could not really taste the alcohol. Maybe I'm spoiled but for almost $7, if I have a drink on an empty stomach I expect to feel it a little. I doubt that we'll be going back.
(3)Jennifer C.
I love this place. The servings of Shiraz are generous and my husband loves the beer selection. The veggie burger AND the salmon burger are great. They also have a BLT wrap that is good. Oh and if the tomato soup is the soup of the day, give it a try. You will not be disapppointed.
