In 1985, the first Beef ‘O’ Brady’s opened its doors as a family-centered sports bar. The original creators wanted a relaxed atmosphere where people could pop in to watch a great game on one of the many televisions set up in the restaurant. What has happened is many locals now choose Beef ‘O’ Brady’s as their celebratory haunt when they have just played a nine-inning scorcher and need a cool place to visit afterwards. By all accounts, both goals have been met, as Beef ‘O’ Brady’s is often the cornerstone restaurant, a fan favorite in any city they set up in.
What makes a great neighborhood restaurant even better? For starters, the food must be on-point. At Beef ‘O’ Brady’s an extensive menu catering to kids, parents, grands – – they have something for everyone pleases every palate. The wings and burgers at “Beefo’s,” as they are often referred to, are just about as good as you can get. With sauces spanning the heat index and drummies so tender you wonder how they were cooked, your mouth waters for that cool libation accompanying your wings. The burgers with fat patties and fresh toppings satisfy even the hungriest in your bunch. And, if you aren’t at Beef ‘O’ Brady’s on St. Patrick’s Day for their corned beef and cabbage, then you simply are not celebrating as you should. The line out the door should signify the popularity of Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, not just on the holidays, but every day.
Throughout Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch, the Macri family own and operate several Beef ‘O’ Brady’s locations. Catering to satisfied customers who have become friends is their specialty. Their uncanny ability to hire the friendliest people throughout the Suncoast means as soon as you step foot into one of those Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, a happy “Hello” and “Be right with you” are soon to follow. Their standards for quality foods and the cleanliest of environments have won them loyalty and praise from the communities they serve. For the Macri family, setting the bar as high as possible has resulted in stellar reviews and return visits from their expansive network of Beef ‘O’ Brady fans.
As a thank you to their loyal fans, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s has launched its “Team Beef ‘O’ Brady’s.” Anyone can join, and when they do, they will receive a free shareable starter with a value up to $8.

There are certain pains that stop us in our tracks. You can start the day out with your normal routine, eating your usual toast and eggs and kissing the kids and spouse goodbye before you leave for work. You sip on your coffee as you make your commute, and then, out of the blue, a dull ache begins to spread over the back quadrant of your mouth. You are trying to pinpoint the source and then, as you poke and prod, the pressure and air on that back molar makes you wince in pain. You feel a tension begin to take over your whole being as you dread the time, money, and process involved with dental repair. Is there even anyone who sees emergency patients anymore on a Saturday or Sunday? Most dentists are at the golf course, or certainly not tending to patients, but there is one trusted, dedicated dentist who did not get that memo. Extremely accessible to his patients, uber-knowledgeable and just an all-around nice guy – – Dr. James Foley is your next call if you need dental work.
When you have known your true calling since the age of six, it is easy to settle into a life of education and service to loyal patients. Such was the case for Dr. James Foley, DDS, who graduated from Emory University Dental School in 1988. With 15 years post-doctoral training in cosmetic dentistry, he has given smiles back to countless people who had thought that true reflection of their happiest self would never be something they could be proud of. With Dr. Foley’s expertise in dental implants, veneers, and cosmetic dentistry combined with his gentle, friendly demeanor toward clients, you have a dental office and staff you look forward to visiting. No more hiding from potential cavities and denying those spaces in-between your teeth are growing; give Dr. Foley a call, and his helpful nature will instantly set you at ease.
With a Five-star Google rating, many of Dr. Foley’s clients readily chat about the outstanding doctor/client interactions they have and marvel at the thoughtful follow-up after dental cleanings and procedures. While some may have initially seen Dr. Foley because of his centrally located office, they eventually grow to love and trust the staff like family. Words like “trusted,” “knowledgeable,” and “sincere” are just a few of the adjectives used to describe Sarasota’s favorite dentist, Dr. James Foley, DDS.
When you are as certain of things as Dr. Foley was in knowing his future profession at the ripe young age of six, you conduct your business with that same sense of assuredness. For example, don’t ever leave employee recognition opportunities to just any service or gift. With IBE, Dr. Foley knows his employees will love massages, dinners out with their families, or manicures and pedicures. Bartering allows him to treat those around him who are doing such a wonderful job without breaking the budget. And, rather than tapping into reserves for A/C issues or electrical repairs, Dr. Foley calls on fellow IBE merchants to take care of these types of expenses. Repairing the smiles of others is something Dr. Foley is passionate about and he is happy to have met many new smiles over the years, thanks to IBE. According to Dr. Foley, “The level of hospitality from IBE is excellent.”
Living in paradise is a tough job, isn’t it? I mean, we never get to use those snow shovels which seem to be such handy items. We rarely get to wear our fashionable “winter” boots, and the gloves literally never make it out of the drawers. And, those seat warmers in the automobiles? When will we ever be able to turn those things on? Yes, someone must take the hit and live where it is sunny and warm virtually every single day.

That sun – – it is intense. We have all experienced the pains that can come from spending too much time under the sun’s harmful rays. Yet, we go back for more because a backyard BBQ with friends, complete with a cornhole tournament, far outweighs any sunburn. But, if you could have your proverbial cake and eat it too, as in what if you could spend all day outside and still be able to be shielded from the sun’s heat?
