16 Best Bar & Grill near Brandon

“Try Keith’s Oaks Bar and Grill in Brandon (🙂 108 Lithia Pinecrest Rd, Brandon, FL 33511-5306)! It’s a friendly place with good food (and Modelo). Nothing fancy. I had The Bandit, a pounded, dipped and fried pork chop that covered the plate and crispy sweet potato fries. I snagged a bite of loaded steak, which had terrific flavor, and the shrimp were luscious biggies. Used to be A-1-A Cafe. Give this out of the box choice a try.“

“The place to come when you want decent alcoholic beverages including bottled, tap, shots and mixed drinks, plus $2.00 drinks on Tuesday nights. They have friendly service, freshly cooked food with an updated menu for more bar food styled options, and multiple televisions for the various sports games and events including UFC, Boxing, Hockey, College Football, the NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball on any given night. They are open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and 1 am on Friday & Saturdays nights - a nice little getaway from your home if you want to get out of the house and socialize, or get away from the family for a bit, or you can even bring the family with you. On Wednesdays they offer bottomless boneless wings for only $14.99. For the best service, my personal recommendation would be to come Monday - Fridays at 5pm - 12am when Amanda is working, she will make sure you receive the best and most efficient service being their most friendly, likable and experienced mixologist; just make sure to treat her with respect. They are also open until 1 am on Fridays & Saturday nights (or when the final televised fights are over). Other than that, I find it a relaxed environment that usually makes me feel welcomed when ALL of the management can maintain professionalism within the workplace.TO CORPORATE: The only thing I’m not a fan of is the Corporate Office has been making the Winghouse girls change at 9pm EST every single night into lingerie, believing it will increase their sales and bring in a higher customer base to see young women in early to late 20’s dressed even sexier than usual from their standard uniforms. This has been ineffective since it was implemented back in October of 2023, and needs to be abolished since there is literally no difference in foot traffic, makes the employees visibly uncomfortable, and only serves to signal the green-light to the creeps that it is okay to make the Winghouse Girls intentionally uncomfortable. They are your brand - “Wings and Things”…take better care of your brand please!

Parking: They have plenty of spots but the closest spots to the building fill up quickly due to Morenos Bakery and ALL the different military branches recruiting stations sharing that parking lot. However it is a large parking lot due to that same fact. I’ve never been able to not park within a two minute walk to their front doors, and without having to cross any streets.

Kid-friendliness: They are very aware and accommodating regarding children’s presence since they usually have plenty of families with small children dining in. The Winghouse girls will also sing Happy Birthday upon request, with Amanda being the most vocal of all the employees that she can easily drown out the noise caused from other distractions. And management will shut down + cut off the occasional loud, belligerent intoxicated individual on the spot when necessary to accommodate all other guests & families.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have access through the front door requiring no ramp, and if you want to get to the outside patio without having to go through the building, they have a path to follow from the front doors down the front side of the building that leads straight to the back bar and patio area with 5 high top tables with adequate roofing to protect you from the weather elements.“

“I went for a date night and enjoyed every aspect of the place. We were able to share a meal due to the large portions, the drinks are amazing and our server I believe her name was Denise or Danny was amazing! It was only her second day but she made sure to make our first experience a memorable one. We will definitely be back ❤️ the brisket and deviled eggs are a MUST HAVE 🔥“

“The food was good and the service was great“

“Love this place. We are here doing storm work, and a few people from our crew kept telling us about this place. Stopped today before we are headed back up north and wish we would have come here earlier. There is nothing better than a few drinks by the water. Next time I'm in the area, I'm 100% stopping by.“

“We just ordered for a 5 people work lunch via Uber Eats all getting different dishes and they were all tasty. I had the Club and the bread was buttery and toasty and the onion rings were on point, but the sauce they come with is next level. Most importantly there were some special instructions on the order, sub this, remove that, add please and they did not miss a single note!! Impressive on that alone. Portions are generous. Will def order again.“

“I stopped by after school with my grandson on a Friday. The pizza was good, and there were plenty of games to choose from“

“Are kids welcome here?“

“Omg! Kirstin is back. Her and and Marissa kicking but tonight. best hospitality night with my favorite bartenders. Best wings, and staff in town is back on Sundays......Best Philly too“

“A neighborhood watering hole!“

“Great service and amazing food!!“

“I was so impressed by Todd, your front desk associate. He was always very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He addressed each and every issue/question I had immediately and was always receptive, attentive, and very courteous. He even remembered my name after just one time talking to him. I usually don't write reviews, but I was so impressed by his customer service skills that I had to make a review. No days exceptional customer service is hard to find if not non-existent. Please let Todd know that it didn't go unnoticed and it was greatly appreciated.“

“A little recommendation….while attending the concert last night (8/10/23) at Mid-Florida Amphitheater we stayed at the Embassy Suites in Brandon. We are Hilton people so staying at their family of hotels is always our first choice. But I have to tell you, this Embassy Suites takes customer service to the next level. From Matthew who checked us in, to Gina the bartender, to Mike and Millie who made our breakfast, to Chad the General Manager, they did not miss one opportunity to make sure we were completely satisfied. A bonus was that the hotel was a $12 Uber ride to the Amphitheater. If you can swing it, stay here when your attend your next concert.“
