Mo' Brady's Steakhouse

YUM.  This is what I have to say about Mo' Brady's.  : )



It's a sister restaurant to Miss Mamie's, which I already knew I enjoyed.  This was, however, my first trip to MB's.  I definitely want to go back.  Not right this second, cuz I'm still stuffed, but tomorrow.  I could go back tomorrow and be a happy camper!

They begin your indoctrination with the most delicious bread and butter basket.  There are also cinnamon rolls.  Oh yes, there are.


Scrumptious.  The bread is baked to perfection and either the bread or the butter has a touch of honey, which makes you want more more more!  Especially if you're a bread-a-holic like moi.  : )  There's so much food, tho, that you don't feel like you have to order another round of bread in order to be satisfied, ya know?

After the bread, we have salad.  Mom had a regular ... idk what you call it.  I did not get a picture.  It's the kind of salad I don't like, with iceberg lettuce.  She said it was very good.  However, she was jealous of my salad.  "Why is that," you ask?  Well, because it was a plate of spinach delightfulness!


That's right, folks.  That is a rather large bowl full of spinach, apples, mandarin oranges (which I'm not fond of and so they were given to Leyton), croutons, mushrooms, bacon, and the most wonderful bacony vinegrette.  I think I could order this alone for a lunch (with the bread, of course!).  The apples were a little too... refridgerated ... tasting, but everything else was marvelous.

Along with the salads, our waiter brought out Leyton's side of fruit, which were more apples & oranges, and he was quite excited about them!  His entree was a cheeseburger, which he ate a good portion of.  He was a fan of the bread basket, too, though.  : )




Neither of us were excited about the red onions, so they made a lovely stack on another plate (along w/ my discarded lemon wedge, used on my entree).


Sidenote: Don't you love that pepper shaker??  It reminded me of a lighthouse... Maybe it's just me?

(Apparently I had something against Mom's food?  I didn't take any pictures?  IDK what that's about!  She had a really yummy looking steak and a side of delicious broccoli.)

My entree was ... I'm running out of adjectives, but it was superb!  I decided to go with a seafood theme, because ever since I found the boss's birthday card, which talked about being fooled by crab cakes and to make sure to have actual cake with frosting for his bday, I've been craving Miss Mamie's crab cakes!  Sister restaurant = same crab cake recipe!  So I ordered the talapia dinner, because it came w/ a crab cake & some shrimp.  It also came with another side, and I chose mac & cheese because - altho it doesn't seem like the sort of thing to go w/ my seafood choice - I *heart* mac & cheese & wanted to see how they did theirs.


They do it beautifully!  I think those are Rigatoni noodles?  They're wide & tubular, and a really great mac & cheese pasta choice because (like the traditional elbow noodle) they really hold in the cheese!  Those jumbo shrimp were buttery goodness, also.  The tilapia was just so-so, almost too mild a flavor for me, despite being cooked to perfection and lovingly seasoned with capers.  I should have moved the crab cake to the foreground before snapping this picture, as you can't really see its gloriousness, but such is life.  Trust me, it's nummy!  : )

Another sidenote: We also love MM & MB because they proudly serve Pepsi products.  Good choice, owners of these restaurants!!

In conclusion, if you have the chance to go to Miss Mamie's or Mo' Brady's, I say go for it!  Until next time, what're your feelings on capers?  Do share!
