Longtime hospitality developer Mangesh Patel is preparing to reshape the dining and lodging landscape in Middle Georgia through a strategic expansion of the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and Huey Magoo’s brands. According to a recent article in The Telegraph, Patel is bringing the family-friendly sports pub concept to Macon and several surrounding cities as part of a larger vision to pair quality food with new hotel developments.
The expansion begins in Macon, Georgia, where Patel's first Beef ‘O’ Brady’s location is currently under construction on Hartley Bridge Road. The dual-branded site, which will also house a Huey Magoo’s, is expected to open in fall 2026. This marks the start of a broader Georgia push into Forsyth, Milledgeville, Dublin and Thomson. Patel, who has been in the restaurant industry since 1978 and the hotel business since 1980, sees the current economic climate as the ideal window for development.
While many developers pull back during market shifts, Patel is leaning in. His strategy focuses on creating a "neighborhood hub" by placing restaurants and hotels on the same property. This includes a second Beef ‘O’ Brady’s on Bass Road, which will sit adjacent to a planned Hyatt Studios (an upper-midscale, extended-stay hotel).
“Right now, the economy is down. That’s the time you start developing things. So when the economy is booming, you are ready to go and start serving,” Patel told The Telegraph. “The rest of the locations I have, we’re hopefully going to have a hotel, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and Huey Magoo’s all together.”
Patel’s interest in Beef ‘O’ Brady’s grew while his construction company, Karma Developers LLC, worked on a project in neighboring Alabama. He was drawn to the brand's versatility, particularly the inclusion of children’s playrooms in new prototypes and a diverse selection of food paired with a great bar offering.
“They have a variety of items available in the restaurant, and also, they have a large bar,” Patel said. “They serve 30 to 35 tap beers. You really don’t find that in small restaurants.”
With decades of experience operating everything from Indian restaurants in Atlanta to Dairy Queens and McAlister’s Delis, Patel is now focused on high-growth franchising. His commitment to the region is substantial, with agreements already signed for seven Huey Magoo’s and six Beef ‘O’ Brady’s locations. By integrating these dining options with modern hotel assets like the Hyatt Studios and a planned Holiday Inn Express in Thomson, Patel is building more than just restaurants. He’s creating infrastructure for the next generation of Georgia travelers and families.
