gaobest, take note: $20.24 for 2 half pound burgers with fries with tax, before tip. Includes $0.75 for cheese on one and $0.99 for bacon (real bacon) on mine.
excellent brioche buns but a little over cooked as medium is as rare as they’ll cook them
Beef's is underrated in terms of casual dining. The menu now is a bit too large, yet stick to the basics and you're golden.
They really overexpanded around 15 years ago when they franchised, but as they're Tampa-founded (like many chains now) the locations near where I grew up are still originally owned. I remember when I lived in Ft. Worth and a franchise opened in Arlington, south of I-20 whose franchisee got under water fast due to having to give beer away due to a liquor license issues as the Southwest Arlington Hooters suffered from too. Apparently, two miles from a high school was too close.
I recall decades back, they were one of the few places you could get Iron City and IC Light in Tampa. Wings are acceptable, beer is cold and priced right and if you can accept lots of kids, it's good since they were basically grown out to be the Hooters alternative in Tampa Bay.
