I recently had the pleasure of takeout at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que, and let me tell you, it was an experience that left me longing for more. As soon as I sank my teeth into their barbecue pork ribs, I knew I was in for a treat. The meat was so tender, succulent, and bursting with smoky flavor that it practically melted in my mouth. Fall of the bone greatness. Every bite was a journey through savory delight, leaving me craving another serving before I'd even finished. But the culinary magic didn't stop there. The collard greens were an exquisite culinary masterpiece. Cooked to perfection, they had just the right balance of texture and taste. The tangy and slightly bitter notes of the greens were harmoniously complemented by delicate seasonings, creating a symphony of flavors that left me wanting more. And let's not forget about the potato salad - a true testament to the art of barbecue cuisine. Creamy, slightly tangy, and perfectly seasoned, it was the ideal side dish to accompany the ribs. It added a refreshing element to each bite, completing the sensational flavor journey with its delightful texture and taste. But the climax of this gustatory voyage came with their peach cobbler. Oh, the heavenly combination of warm, gooey peaches, perfectly spiced with hints of cinnamon and topped off with a golden, buttery crust. Each spoonful transported me to a place of pure bliss, where the flavors of summer danced on my taste buds. A bite of this divine dessert was like a love letter to my senses, filling me with sheer joy and a longing to return for more. It's safe to say that my experience at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que was nothing short of extraordinary. The exceptional tenderness of their barbecue pork ribs, the flavorful collard greens, the delectable potato salad, and the mouthwatering peach cobbler - every bite left an indelible mark on my taste buds, and my heart. I simply can't wait to return for another unforgettable culinary expedition to tryout there other dishes at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que. They also have breakfast too. Fish fry with grits, YUM!!! read more

Was in the area and saw so many cars outside it and figured it had to be good. Unbeknownst to us, it is mainly a take away place, they do offer some covered seating if you choose to stay. Easy to read menu with photos hang about boasting their lunch/dinner selections. We dined on ribs, chicken, Philly Cheesesteak, fries and Mac and cheese. Everything was outstanding, plentiful and delicious. The staff could not have been more accommodating, checking on is to make sure everything was right, they even offered an upgraded selection when they were out of onion rings. I so look forward to another visit soon. May try there other location up the street. Enjoy! read more

I finally got a shot to try the Wood fire and Charcoal grilled meats from this Mom and Pop chain. I bought my food from the food truck location. We tried the Chicken and rack of ribs with honey BBQ sauce on the side. The meat was lightly seasoned, juicy and not dry. The skin was lightly toasted and not overly charred. The price was reasonable for a Wood fire Charcoal grill. The smoke filled the meat. I also had plain sliced bread. There is no seating by the food truck location, but you can order and they bring your order to your car. It's not a fancy looking spot, but have to give 5 stars for friendly prompt service, and that Wood Charcoal flavor, that is increasingly hard to find. The Restaurant fronts they operate offer more items, but they also use Wood Charcoal to cook with. Recommend a visit to the food truck location, but come after 11am. read more

I went to big daddy's barbecue at 3290 Cypress Gardens Rd. in Winter Haven excellent meal pool, pork sandwich, Crha macaroni and cheese. The place is excellent. The best barbecue I ever had in Florida since I've been living here the last 20 some years everybody smiled and greet you when you walk in the door and say goodbye have a nice day when you leave the service is excellent. The food is excellent Thank you big daddy's of Cypress Gardens Road. i'm stuffed. I don't think I have to eat another meal. There was so much food. read more

This is front of the yard on Sunday after church type BBQ. Very unassuming no thrills building. It smells delicious once you open your car door. The woman at the counter was friendly, and very polite. Food was delicious, and the prices were crazy good. For $45 we got 3 meals, a huge portion of seafood rice (which was bangin' and 2 big drinks. The plaza next door had some Dancehall music playing so the vibes were perfect for eating at the picnic tables. Will definitely swing back through when visiting again. read more

This place is very unassuming, and honestly, that's always a good sign that a place will have something that downright slaps. My friends, let me steer you towards the ribs. They are the perfectly soft meat, smothered in their sauce that you can tell is made by them and different to any other BBQ place I've ever had. Their sides were lacking a bit, beans tasted canned and mac and cheese had good taste but on the dry side. Was hoping to try their banana pudding or peach cobbler, but we went super close to closing time so was not surprised that they were out. I will be back for the ribs again. read more

This is one of the places where you can't let looks deceive you. Any average person would probably pass by this restaurant and not think much of it. But I can guarantee you Big Daddy's does not disappoint and they have a lot to offer. Big Daddy's BBQ has a little bit of everything. From breakfast, burgers, fried fish, snow crabs, salads, BBQ, curry, etc. Your options are definitely limitless and it's hard to be disappointed. I've been eating here for a few years. I came back into town and this place was one of the first places I HAD to stop by. This is by far my FAVORITE soul food restaurants in the central Florida area. I ordered the BBQ chicken dinner with greens and baked beans. My husband went for the BBQ rib dinner with Mac and baked beans. The food was ready and out in about 5-7 minutes. We could not pass on their strawberry lemonade (highly recommend). We went in the patio to soak in the Florida sun and dived into our meals. It was delicious. Just like I had remembered it. The portions are HUGE so you most likely will have a hefty amount to take home to eat later. This was my husband's first time coming here and enjoyed the ribs. He did mention that he wished they were more tender, but overall the flavor was spectacular. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves good food for a GREAT price. read more

I've always said it's the small unassuming places that make the best food. Breakfast from a barbecue place, spread the word America is Great Again people. For less than $10 I had eggs, grits, sausage, bacon and pancakes. It really tastes like your your grandma's Sunday breakfast before church. BD's is right off the road with easy entry/exit plus you can eat outside and enjoy the lake view and great weather. The menu has a variety of entrees from ribs to fish to gizzards. With all of the sides and desserts you can plan a meal for the entire family to include a large selection of sweet tea flavors. The next trip will definitely include lunch and dinner meals. read more

Amazing! This bbq is amazing. I came here with my family to visit legoland. It was pretty late and was looking to find some good food. Bbq is usually always my first choice so i was happy to see this bbq spot was still open. I was shocked at how cheap the food was! And the portions were so big. The ribs were so tender. And that sweet sauce was delicious. Mac and cheese was super creamy. The baked beans was probably the best tasting beans I've ever had. I was so full that i couldn't eat my red velvet slice. I did sample it and that cake was so moist! And the frosting was definitely homemade. If I'm ever back in winter haven, this will be my first stop. read more

Best bbq in the area. I drive 45 minutes to get it. Brisket, ribs, chicken, and the most delicious Mac n cheese, which is clearly homemade. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great service. Good food. First time while visiting the area. A friend of mine and I both had the chicken & rib combo with mac 'n cheese. Very reasonable prices and very gracious portions. There is an enclosed screened in porch to dine in or it would be good for take out. Nothing special or fancy, just good food at very reasonable prices. read more

This is my FAVORITE Soul Food restaurant. The prices anf portionsare great. There are a variety food selections to choose. If you craving breakfast, it's served all day at this restaurant. If you like the lighter side of things, there are options for some great salads. They're also Seafood options. However, my favorite are the soul food options. Check the specials board for some additional options. I always order the chitterlings plate. They are always tasty. One of my other favorites is the oxtail dinner. My challenge at this restaurant is which sides to choose. They have so many great options for sides from collard greens to macaroni and cheese. You get a choice of yellow rice or white rice with each entree as well as two sides and cornbread. The prices range between $8 and $14 for a meal. This is my stop every time I'm in the Winter Haven area. read more

If you are looking for a bright, shiny place...you'll zoom past this. However, this is an old school rough and ready BBQ joint that just makes magic inside! Cole Slaw is my bench mark...make it good and 99% of the time the rest of the food is really good...and that was true here! Cole slaw and Collards were money and the ribs with a sweet sauce (yellow in color...a surprise), while not competition style, were fall off the bone delish. read more

Top of the line bbq. Ribs were falling right off the bone. Greens so good make you want to slap your momma. Mac and cheese was not dry at all, perfect. All around great food. read more

food was not good, brisket was all fat, and they had to go into a gas station to get my Mac n cheese and greens. bread was hard and like sliced sandwich bread, not toasted or nothing. but it was HARD. The lady I spoke with on the phone was really rude. Basically told me to keep this food for three days to return or replace my order. greens were not that great, Mac n cheese could've used a little seasoning. the stove had a to of non food or items sitting on it, and paper bags, condiment containers etc. i heard grey things about it and decided to try it and paid $19 for my meal and it was a complete waste of my lunch time at work and of my money!!!! read more

Just had the rib dinner with sweet bbq sauce. They are fall off the bone. Beans were sweet as well, and could use some thicker sauce with a little more bbq sauce and meat for flavor. Collard greens were excellent and not over cooked. The sweet potato pie and corn bread were excellent read more

This place is an absolute disgrace!! I called and placed my order for 20 wings and a grilled chicken dinner. I do not live near the restaurant but it was on my way. Upon arriving to my destination (45mins away) I sat down to enjoy my meal and found FULL ACTUAL FEATHERS in my wings!!! See photos! I called and spoke to Paulette who informed me I must bring the plate back and they would "consider" a replacement. I explained to her that I am 45 mins away. She told me she wasn't sure when they'd reopen after the storm so I could just bring in the receipt but they would only be replacing 5 wings!! 5? I reminded her that I ordered 20. She placed me on hold and came back on and said Mario said we can eat the wings without FEATHERS!!! What!!?? There were so many feathers not one of these wings were edible. There was so much batter on the wings I figure they may think that people just won't see them and eat them. Which is horrible. There is absolutely no way possible that they did not see this amount of feathers on these wings. Even a blind person would be able to feel the amount of fathers that are on these wings!! read more

I ate here yesterday 6/18/17 at hearing about wonderful reviews. After waiting for almost 25 minutes in the drive through after placing my order, I noticed that the plate was half opened and my food wasted out in the bag. Over half of my food. The girl who brought out the order responded by only saying "oh your food wasted ". No let me remake your plate or I'm sorry. After she returned back in the building I had to flag her down to get extra plate and napkins to savage this mess my meal had become. She was on her cell phone at this point and gave me the look like why are you bothering me. Secondly, my chicken was undercooked, cabbages were hard, and pecan pie was not cooked enough. I cooked the rest of the pie when I got home. I won't be returning. Horrible experience and horrible customer service. read more

I knew a little hole in the wall spot would be great and they did not disappoint. Their menu choices are great. My service was fast and courteous.

I ordered this barbecue, because I'm a Memphis native and was missing home. I went for the chicken dinner, and it was - "ok". The chicken skin was not edible, very rubbery. The meat was dry. I popped it in the oven for a while and added the sauce that they packed in my bag. Along with the dinner, I had the (not banana pudding) "banana pudding". I felt bamboozled. There were no bananas in the pudding. Just vanilla wafers and banana gelatin. I did admire the Mac & cheese as well as the baked beans. read more

Food was good but not a place to eat at no air condition. Once service providers come out from the back everyone was nice. I counted 5 people working and I was the only customer inside but they were slow to acknowledge me started to leave. Next time I'll phone in my order. read more

I asked the hotel I was staying at where I could find the best fried chicken in town. Almost in unison they said Big Daddys. I drove up and saw this small mom and pop shop located by a pretty lake. The people were very kind and eager to please. I ordered a fried chicken dinner and was not disappointed. The chicken was great. The green beans were a little salty for me, but the rest of the meal was very good. I would recommend. read more

Visited in February 2018 and still remember how good the food was. It is definitely on the hole-in-the-wall side and in fact my GPS led me through a couple of weird side streets.
