Sorry to hear that it was a good place to get a sandwwich. Has anyone gone to Fiesta Grande Mexican Grill at Colony?

Oh no! One of my favorite eateries here in TV. Closed at the end of the month. Did lease run out?

Never been to that location but their burgers and sandwiches were good at the Sun City Center location. Bummer.

The one at Southern Trace Shopping Center is still going strong (as far as I know) and it has some very attractive servers as well.

My husband and I are very surprised to hear this location of Beef 'O Brady's has closed. It always seemed to be busy when we went there. They had really good comfort food.

It was always busy, but every time I was there they had far more help then needed. There were always 10 to 15 people working the bar and floor. For a place with that number of tables you should get outstanding service with 5 people. So my guess is with paying all that extra help they couldn't make it work.

I am surprised that now, after that area is finally filling up with people that they would close. Could it be that the way the sign is worded: "until further notice" might mean that it is temporary?

NNNNNOOOOOO!!!! If this was Facebook would say "dislike"! I'd heard this past winter the owner's had had a divorce--hoping THAT isn't the reason for this unfortunate turn of events!! We liked to go there!!!

Default Beef O Brady's Colony

We ate there yesterday, April 1st, so doesn't seem the reason is the end of the month.

Perhaps the health department decided the food wasn't up to snuff (i.e., too many processed foods)?

False alarm. They had a problem with their fryers, hence the temporary closing. They reopened this afternoon at 3:30pm.
