    Cannabis beverage menu!  Reasonable price, but none for me
    Mike H.

    Kinda loud busy. Probably a good thing for them. They have bingo nights, With $1 shots if it comes up O69. Beer was cold and the girls were cute. I have the Mac on crack with bbq pulled pork. It was a solid choice paired with a shock top.

    Food was amazing , drinks were top tier but the star of the show was the server/bartender Haley. From the way she knew what me and my team wanted to how she was the only one handling being alone and taking care of a full house was outstanding this women has a passion for hospitality and food service. if she wasn't at least a supervisor I'd be astonished. Food was amazing service was amazing will be back when I come back from California periodically. CHEERS!

    Mama's brisket sandwich and Brussels
    Sara I.

    Don't judge a book by its cover, as soon as you walk in you can smell the bbq. Everything is made from scratch and is delicious. I ordered the brisket sandwich and Brussels. Both very tasty. The Brussels seemed carmelized with balsamic. The Mac is super creamy and the cheesecake is a sweet way to finish. It's a lot of food! The servers are super sweet and friendly, really down to earth.

    Turkey sandwich with mac
    Julia

    Came here for lunch before heading out of town and was not disappointed!! I got the Brisket sandwich lunch combo and subbed Mac and cheese as a side and O.M.G. Some of the best Mac n cheese I've had in recent memory. It was FAB! And the cheez its crumbled on top added a great extra texture/flavor. The brisket was so tender and tasty and the brioche bread. If I was local this would be a regular spot for sure! Service was great as well, our waitress was sweet and attentive. The inside gives classic barbecue dive but it's still fun and they have at least a couple bars.

    Turkey taco and grilled Cesar

    Yelp wins again! Found this spot on a yelp search, and it did not disappoint. We came here for lunch when we were visiting before our cruise, and in a space with a bunch of tourist traps, this spot is genuine! Don't sleep on the brined turkey...man that is delicious! I got it as a taco, and it hit all the right notes. Also, their drinks are hefty and reasonably priced. Our sever was a delight, and didn't mind me waiting as I had to make up my mind! Don't let the outside of this place fool you, it's no frills scratch kitchen goodness!

    Frito Pie Chimichanga
    Lacey M.

    If you are from the Midwest or you just crave some legit comfort food with some drinks while watching a game... you've gotta stop here! Owner is from Denver and the wait staff is so kind. They allowed me to try a tiny sample of the frito pie before ordering the chimichanga... omg . YES. I want to point out that I spoke with the owner about his cannabis drink menu because I thought it was so unique and a great option for people who can't or don't want to drink alcohol. As someone who doesn't use cannabis, he convinced me that next time I stop by, I should consider one of those drinks instead of a beer. Great sales approach! The restaurant is perfect for the days when it's too cold with plenty of indoor seating. Additionally, there is an outdoor area that would be epic for warm, sunny days. Can't wait to stop by again. Thanks for the hospitality and answering all my questions!

    In town for a cruise and searched for highly rated places near hotel. This one caught our attention, less than a mile walk. It was hoppin busy! They have a great menu w unique dishes. We wanted to try so much on the menu at once, but settled on their famous burger and the crack Mac cheese. Got the deviled potato salad as a side to the burger too. Friends ordered the turkey tacos and the chimichanga frito pie. We all shared bites of our dishes and everything was so good! My favorite was the crack Mac w brisket! We will try the big fish sandwich next time we visit!

    Crack Mac attack
    Alex R.

    Ordered this to go, was greeted very promptly and handed my food. The bottom of the bag was wet, probably due to the condensation. Both of the foods were very very fresh. The brine turkey was smoky and the bread was dense! But tasty. I couldn't even finish the bread, it was huge! The Mac and cheese was delicious, creamy and cheesy.

    Tacos
    Tara G.

    Our hotel recommended it and it was conveniently across the street so we gave it a shot. I would describe big Daddy Js as a comfort food beach shack. We had tacos, Mac and cheese and the deviled egg salad and they were all amazing. The portion sizes are huge and even after the server helped us out we had leftovers which I am never opposed to:) the Mac and cheese and deviled egg potato salad in my photos are the snack size which is the smallest portion. the service was excellent and everyone was super friendly.

    We stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday night. I liked many of the menu options and had a hard time choosing. I opted for the pulled pork bowl which was like a burrito bowl and I loved it. Fresh veggies combined with pork and rice. Our table was very happy with their choices as well. Service was excellent. Our server made some good suggestions. The vibe was very casual, a mix between bar and restaurant. We couldn't stay for bingo but are going back the next week to play. Free bingo cards and locally sponsored winnings. Can't wait. Get there early to get your seat because it was fairly crowded as we walked out on bingo night.

    Crack Mac

    EVERYONE WANTS A BIG DADDY! AWESOME EVERYTHING! Lots of choices! This place was great. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the drinks were great. You will not be disappointed. We came here for dinner before our cruise the next day. We started with some refreshing drinks they have a diverse bar. We ordered the Big Daddy Double Smash which was delicious with fried onions and a little BBQ sauce. The boys loved the fries, I got the potato salad and it was amazing with bacon and green onions. They also ordered the brisket taco and brisket slider. They liked them both but said the taco was even better than the slider. The crack Mac was so creamy and delicious everyone loved it. We would love to try many more things on the menu if only we lived close, it had a lot to choose from. Our server Hailey was a sweetheart and checked on us often. She made the experience even better! We need a Big Daddy in So.Cal!

    Tacos with a side of bbq sauce
    James T.

    Located in an old fast food restaurant, admittedly the outside of the building leaves a lot to be left desired. Inside though they're cooking up some pretty good comfort food! The fives refer to their five specialties: Pork, Turkey, brisket, Mac and cheese and Frito pie. I got three tacos with all three meats. Tacos come with a side of bbq sauce and were delicious! Also tried the Brussels and Mac and cheese which were also tasty! Would definitely come back, the service here is friendly and great!

    Watermelon spritz
    Sonya K.

    Great food. Great service. MAN, the brisket and brine turkey were delish!!!! Will be back. Oh and don't forget the watermelon spritz!! Yummy!!! Great music playing 80's hits. A lot of tall seating and few booth/table plus two bars

The customer service? Next level. Like, if friendliness were a sport, they'd have a trophy case. I picked up some beef liver (because I make bold life decisions), and my husband spotted a sandwich special. We teamed up like true food strategists and split a Turkey Avocado on Rye with chips. Zero regrets--10/10 would share again. While casually pretending I knew what I was doing near the steak section, I found something called "Drunken Steaks." Obviously, we adopted one--a NY strip--and cooked it that night. It was so good I briefly considered writing it a thank-you note. AND THEN... plot twist: FREE BEER. I don't even drink much, but I'm not about to disrespect free. I asked for a half cup like a responsible adult. The butcher, however, was on a mission to make sure we *didn't* leave sober. Respect. By the end, we were stuffed, happy, and slightly questioning our self-control. Long story short: came for the meat, stayed for the vibes, left planning our return.

After passing by this truck I thought I had to stop here. I finally did stop here on a lunch break. Man, this was the best Lunch Food I have ever had. BBQ has become so commercial and so crappy lately. Pretty much every BBQ chain is fake food. Once I heard they have Brisket I was instantly ready to order. They sell it by the pound or a sandwich. I opted for the sandwich, I wish I just got a pound of this stuff! It was really great! The meat was sliced nice and thick and cooked few well! It had just the right amount of pink to it. They provided some sauce, however, I did not use it at all. The meat has a really good dry rub on it. It was a bit on the spicy side just so you are aware. I would put the heat level at 2 of 10. I would put the flavor level 10 and the cooked correctly lvl 10. It was really really good! I wanted to go back for more! I will say the price was a bit higher than I expected from a food truck. It would be amazing if they sold the dry rub in a shaker by itself. I would definitely buy it, would make some really great beef jerky. Eat Local, Eat here, Leave Happy!
