    Turkey Wings . Rice. Yams, Cabbage.Corn muffin.
    Cassandra Tia H.

    So when you are in your big back moments. Don't be afraid to pull up to Big Daddy's on Cascade. In the strip plaza with Wells Fargo. Weekends are usually busy especially after church. Plenty of parking. But the space inside to order and wait can get a little crowded. They usually have a Tv going or music playing.. so that will keep you entertained while you wait for your food. Or as you listen to other people order and contemplate your choices . Lol. The food is always good. I usually get the beef tips with rice . And you get 2 more sides. They have daily specials. This visit I opted for the turkey wings .. ooh so good.. tender, falling off th bone . seasoned to perfection goodness. I got yams and cabbage. Corn muffin. Please know what you want.. the older lady can be impatient at times. ( They take call in orders also) Other than that.. good food. I'm always happy to be my big back fix at Big Daddy's.

    Always good! Called in my order and didn't have much of a wait time when I arrived. Not too busy. Food 10/10!

    Pretty good soul food I got the turkey wings and dressing, which was more than enough. They give you a lot of food and they have a lot of choices. Tons of soul, food, options, vegetables, meat and even desserts.

    Chicken and dressing

    This food is not great. The macaroni and cheese taste like it's kraft deluxe(without pepper or seasonings). The dressing is sweet so if you like sweet dressing you might like it. The best thing I had was my corn bread muffin the meal came with. Maybe I got the wrong entree but the sides I got was not food either. Macaroni and cheese is a soul food staple.

    Curry Goat. Macaroni and Cheese.

    Such a nice experience. Upon walking in we were greeted by the cashier. You order your food up front before heading to the back and being seated (for dine-in). The food can be seen through the kitchen area window which helps when reading the menu and deciding what you want. The prices are moderate and go perfect with the portion sizes. Beware that they do run out of hot ticketed sides so it's possible what you desire may be out of stock. The food was good. Everything was done well and seasoned nicely. No over or under flavoring. The yams are very natural flavored so if you are looking for more of the candied effect, these aren't for you. The Macaroni and Cheese is very good. The corn muffin is absolutely amazing. And, if you are a dressing lover like me, make sure to get the gravy on it. It really makes the flavor pop. I will definitely be going here again. P. S. The Lemonade is AWESOME!!!!

    I ordered the curried goat over rice with rutabagas and Mac and cheese. My cousin had oxtails, candied yams, and Mac and cheese. The curry goat was not spicy AT ALL! This is the first time I have ordered curry goat and it not be spicy. The food was delish and you get a lot for the price. I also like that rice is included and is not considered a side. Masks are required in the restaurant.

It came with a cornbread, a buttery biscuit, and banana pudding. I was pleasantly surprised by the other items since the ordering site only listed the entree. Best Shrimp & Grits I've had to date. The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!

I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

That said, the space made it feel manageable. It has a charming farmhouse-style aesthetic, and the seating is arranged in a way that keeps it from feeling overcrowded or chaotic. Once we were seated, we were greeted by a warm and attentive server who immediately made us feel taken care of. She offered water, gave us time to settle in, and was knowledgeable when answering questions about the menu--always a plus. As we sipped our drinks and eased into the morning, time seemed to pass effortlessly. Our food arrived without us even realizing how long we'd been waiting, which is always a good sign. Everyone in my party genuinely enjoyed their meals. My eggs were cooked exactly how I like them--soft scrambled, which is harder to get right than it should be, so that alone earned points. I also had the chance to taste a few other dishes at the table. The grit bowl was standout-level good--so much so that my friend cleaned the bowl completely. The pimento grits with the biscuit paired perfectly with the berry jam, which added just the right touch of sweetness. I also loved the potato fritters--they're like hash browns, but the fritter style gives you a completely different experience from your typical breakfast side. Crispy, satisfying, and definitely worth ordering. As for my French toast--it was perfectly done and incredibly satisfying. A sweet, comforting finish to a great dining experience. Overall, between the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food, this place definitely delivered. I'd gladly wait again.

All tasted amazing, can't wait to go back again. The biscuits are really something else, especially with the sea salt butter.

This is one of the few Atlanta restaurants that has a great vibe and isn't too loud or unwelcoming for those with children. My top five things on the menu are the brunch fried Gouda bites, the Nashville, hot chicken whether you get the appetizer or the sandwich, their chicken and waffle is pretty good, I love their mashed potatoes and collard greens.

I'll keep it simple the food was good, don't get me wrong. But for the price, it just didn't match up. This is one of those places that works if you're trying to impress clients or enjoy the atmosphere. Strip away the location, and the food-to-price ratio probably lands much lower. Just my take. Overall: 4/5 great setting, just comes at a premium.

While I admire their aspiration, the fact that I and many others didn't even get to try their self proclaimed world famous chicken makes that lofty goal pretty impossible to attain. What I mean by that is their service and kitchen are so extremely slow that they are constantly turning customers away. On a trip to Atlanta, I visited the restaurant with a party of 5. We seated ourselves because the sign told us to do so. But for more than 20 minutes we were ignored. I had to grab menus myself and had the greatest difficulty flagging down a server. When I was finally able to flag someone down to take orders, they said the food will be a 40-60min wait. First impression of this place is horrible, floors are sticky and a part of the table was not properly cleaned off with chicken batter crumbs still present. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but the lack of service and care is totally unforgivable. I heard from a friend after the fact, who came by the restaurant earlier that same evening, that the situation was similar at that point. At that point the restaurant was pretty empty, and they said the estimated food wait time was more or less the same as what we were told. We left right after without trying the chicken. And so did my friend who tried visiting earlier in the evening. World famous? Not quite.
