Beef ‘O’Brady’s in Brook Highland closed its doors Monday, March 30 after being unable to reach an agreement with the building’s landlord.

The announcement came that morning at 10AM, just an hour before it was supposed to open. The building is at 5279 US-280 and located in the same complex as Burlington, Shoe Station, Michaels and the ABC Beverage store.

“This was not an easy decision. Beef’s Brook Highland has been more than just a place to grab a meal — it’s been a space filled with familiar faces, laughter, celebrations, and everyday moments that we’ve been lucky enough to be a part of. So many of you have become regulars, friends and part of what made this place feel like home.”

By Tuesday, March 31, signage had already been removed from the building, and staff were loading restaurant property into a U-Haul trailer.

Beef ‘O’ Brady’s assured its customers that staff would be taken care of during the transition.

“Special thanks to our staff who have worked hard to provide friendly service and great food. We are happy to be offering positions to our incredible team at our Hoover and Helena locations.”
