Also..most restuarants are NOT thrilled with large groups at any time unless they are a pre-sold banquet in a separate room. I know a few restaurant managers and I've been told that EVERYBODY on staff groans when a big group (or groups) comes in. It's almost always more hassle for the restaurant than it is worth. No..for the most part they won't tell you that, they'll just grit their teeth and bear it, but they can't wait to see them leave.
Dif a franchise, originated in Tampa. Not sure if each is an individual owner, or if someone(s) owns several of the local Beef's. In any case, like each and every franchise location, they can vary with owner / manager(s). Someone built a BIG stand alone Beef's in Belleview, service was beyond horrid and it lasted about 6 mos. "Someone" took a serious financial bath on that one. BTW, Mojo's Kitchen moved their Belleview location into the closed Beefs and is flat killing it .... minting money!

grew up in the rest biz .... generally true on all points.
