    Ohhhh yes!!!
    Hannes M.

    Oh, yes! We finally went here again, it was the last restaurant on my bucket list! As they not only make that awesome root beer but they also have restaurants. Here you can get nice burgers, fish, fries and fried cheese curds! I love their cheese curds. They also now serve broccoli soup and salads! So I got a Papa combo which is a double patty cheese burger, cheese curds obviously and of course root beer from the frosted mug! Oh yes! I think their food tastes very good, good burgers, cheese curds and I'm just cravin' their root beer! So I just wonder why they're always in these hard to reach areas?!?? I mean if you guys also belong to the same group as Taco Bell and Long John Silver - how come you just have so few venues?!?! Don't get it....

    Cool place.... Mediocre food.

    I feel honored to have written their very 1st review! A&W root beer poured from the fountain into a frosted mug? What could be better? The food. Great 50/60s diner interior with jukebox tunes. However, the soggy Papa Burger didn't exactly knock me off my booth seat. And neither did the undercooked French fries. Luckily I'm still sipping my ice cold root beer with a smile. Next time I'll do the A&W float instead.

    Literally said "I'm sorry the ice crane machine is turned off at 9pm". Pissed off is an understatement.

    Family Food Adventure excitement, then…read more.. You ever want to go to a place and have tried, but they were not there when you arrived? or... Try a second time and the truck was there, but they closed 4 minutes before you got there? or... Finally get there and see so many different things that you want them all and then pick the special b/c come on it's the special!!! We finally got the chance to eat here and maybe the food didn't live up to our excitement or maybe it's just because the food was disappointing!!! They have two sizes Teenie and Jumbo When you realize the Jumbo is a Teenie, to a food connoisseur or when you realize your paying $7-$9+ for a hot dog that is a cheap charlie $2 pack of 8 dogs, it's very disappointing. Does it fill you up at least you ask, not by any means we had to go out and eat after spending $48 on 4 hotdogs and 1 pretzel. Nevermind the $23 for drinks from the brewery, only 1 being a wine, please see review of Grove Roots brewing on my page. $71 for 4 hot dogs a pretzel and 5 drinks is definitely not value for our money!!! You know I'm always looking out for our Famiglia's!!! My little one, who loves hot dogs, didn't even want one because she didn't like the options and them she saw her go to, a pretzel, when she is unsure of what she wanted!!! My eldest who is a hot dog fiend, was not too happy with their Virginian, no relish, it was cold and of course not Jumbo, I mean filling!!! The pretzel was honestly the best part of the meal, we all enjoyed a bite size piece trade deal with the pretzel princess!!! The Irish special dog had corned beef and other stuff, check the menu not worth writing it all as it was not very good. The corned beef was cold, there was very little even on it and it looked like the meat was turning, I pulled it off the hot dog and ate the rest, What a 9$ Special!!! The boy got the coney dog and said it was lackluster, the chili was cold. Mom got the Virginian with the relish and was not impressed either! This truck would be much better if they got bigger dogs and had better quality HOT ingredient add-ons for their dogs. All I can say is we will not be getting chubby from Chubby Wubby's again, unfortunately when we go to a hot dog food truck that hot dog better look like a sausage and be full of fresh & hot toppings, that's when a Hot Dog is SPECIAL!!! Maybe it was an off day, but it definitely was not as good as the other reviews stated and definitely not worth the price for a family of 5 that has to go get Wendy's after words, just to have full kids!!! This is a good truck for the bar crowd, but I would go somewhere else if you are trying to have a Family filling meal!!!

    Man, I wish I could give this spot a better review because I loved the feel of the old-school 'que…read moreplace and the service was terrific...but the food was rather bland and tasteless and many of our dishes went without finishing them. I ordered a spare rib plate with sides of fries and mac-n-cheese. The dish also came with a piece of garlic bread. To start, the ribs were a bit tough and hardly had any smoke or bark flavors. I love a rib that requires some "chew" to get them off the bone, but the toughness mentioned was not of that variety. Bottled sauces (on the tables) were alright, but nothing special. I will say the seasoned fries and gooey mac-n-cheese were both good. Lastly, the garlic bread had very little seasoning on it, more like a dry piece of toast really. Had heard such good things, but this visit really disappointed me and my (extended) family who also had similar feelings about the meals they had chosen.

The ribs are tender with a perfectly subtle smoky flavor that doesn't overpower the meat. Their collard greens are seasoned beautifully and balance out the sweetness of the cornbread. The egg rolls are crispy on the outside, loaded on the inside, and pair perfectly with the sweet dipping sauce. Overall, a great mix of flavor, texture, and soul. Also, make sure you check out their weekly specials on social media like "All-You-Can-Eat" Ribs on Fridays!

    While heading east on I-4 yesterday, hubs reminisced about tasty fried catfish & grits he'd had at…read moreBig Daddy's a few years ago. So today, we decided to make a big detour for lunch on our drive back home. Howard has never made a better dining choice. Though not near I-4 at all, the food was worth the trip! After entering, we waited in a short queue to look at the menu & place our order. Since hubs had been romanticizing their fried catfish, we decided to share a dinner with mac & cheese and collard greens. And of course I wanted grits & fried okra, too. We picked a table and waited only a few minutes for our meal. I really don't know where to start with the food because everything was incredibly delicious. My only critique might be that the grits were not as piping hot as everything else. That aside, those grits were loosely creamy with a drizzle of butter, and made an amazing bite alone, but even more so with the fried catfish. I could not stop eating either, though hubs did help. Plus, the fry on the catfish, & also the okra, was perfectly crisp & light. Yeah, we finished the okra, too. The collard greens were simply outstanding. I loved that they weren't soggy or over-spiced. Hubs & I fought over the last bite. We also loved their mac & cheese! The flavor was decadently cheesy with a thick creamy sauce & a baked cheese crust. And I really liked that the macaroni pasta wasn't mushy. Our entire meal was fantastic. Hubs ate the entire cornbread muffin so it must have been tasty. I'm definitely looking forward to another opportunity to eat at Big Daddy's!

It's not much to look at as it's a dive and next to the corner Citgo station. We were hungry and tired of waiting to eat. So, the waitress pushed tables together for the 12 of us. Even though it took a little while to get our food it was absolutely delicious. A couple of us had breakfast which was fabulous and the rest of the group had BBQ and everyone of them raved about their food--especially the ribs, Mac and cheese, and fried okra. Our server, Mikayla, was awesome. We kept her busy but she was very kind, courteous, and attentive. I have no doubt that we will be back to enjoy some more BBQ at Big Daddy's who actually came out and met everyone in our group.

We were seated immediately upon arrival, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Both times we've visited, it hasn't been overly busy, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Personally I find that shocking as I would think it would be a tourist trap but it's mostly locals. We started with Homerun Margaritas, and they were delicious! They tasted a little on the light side at first, but our server happily added an extra shot, which was a nice bonus! For food, we ordered the mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders, the Merica Burger, and chicken wings. Everything was cooked fresh, came out hot, and tasted fantastic. We really enjoyed every bite. Overall, another great experience with friendly service, delicious food, and a comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to coming back again!

    I don't like leaving bad reviews but this is probably the worst service I've had in my life…read more Mid day. One lady at the end of the bar on her laptop. So we sit at the bar for a few cocktails. Female bartender never once looked at us or stopped talking to the lady on the computer. It's absolutely dead. We use the bathroom and wait forever. STILL NOTHING. Finally she comes over and we ordered drinks. I wanted dessert but she doesn't even ask if we're eating. So a LENGTHY WHILE LATER I finally get dessert. A sticky dessert. And we never received napkins. Never saw the bartender again to even get napkins, I waited for the bartender to look over but she never stopped talking to the one solo woman. At all. When she finally came over I had already finished and cleaned my hands myself. Forget about getting a second drink. As someone who works in hospitality, I'm more patient than the typical customer. This was the absolute worst service ever. Never again.
