Okay, this place lives up to all of the hype. I just had the fried chicken, but I'm getting the chicken salad next time. The chicken was delicious, great seasoning, and right amount of crunch. The fries were delicious!!! Definitely hole in the wall vibes, but they are doing great things! read more

I came all the way back home for BIG DADDY'S FOOD from phoenix AZ, they don't have anything like BIG DADDY'S in phoenix all they got is pizza, Taco, Mexican food only. If this restaurant would come there to phoenix AZ they would sell out daily because as they fried it, it gone with WORD of MOUTH about " BIG DADDY'S FOOD! SO IF I CAME 1600 MILES FOR THE CHICKEN, I ALSO CAME FOR THE CHICKEN SALAD ( TASTY and LARGE) the small is too! Try the BACON SALAD,YES LORD! UMMMM GOOD! read more

Hood staple ! Hood classic! Really great chicken salads! Also tried their chicken wings and their fried fish. Service is excellent, very personable staff . The building is old and it's literally a corner store in South Dallas. So expect people hanging around , talking loud, nowhere to sit. Barely anywhere to stand. It's jam packed but definitely worth the PICK UP read more

10/10. I felt like I was back home going to the corner store. Truly it's a wonderful gem. The lady that took my order was so nice. The young man that prepared it was so nice d and thorough. And the ppl at the front that checked me out were so nice. Literally felt like a place full of my aunties and uncles. They got alll the snacks that the racetrac wouldn't lol. It's just a down south at home vibe. Don't come being stuck up and stuff & expect a wait. This the hood, not YO hood so be patient and relax and enjoy that good food. I got a chopped chicken salad and of course they gave me "the bones" but it's full of meat. So flavorful, very affordable. Definitely will be back. And no you can not sit and eat here lol, get ya food and go! They also have a burger basket special on Mondays & a link special.. Every day is a special but I just remember seeing that on today read more

Big Daddy's Convenience Store - Chicken salad - Convenience Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you Big Daddy's serves up some of the best comfort food in Dallas. Between the massive portions, the legendary chicken salad, and prices that actually respect your wallet. read more

WE LISTEN AND WE DON'T JUDGE--the infamous IG catchphrase may have started in 2024, but I'm carrying it into 2025. If you're not from "the other side" of the tracks--aka the hood--Big Daddy's might not be for you. This corner store is filled with energy, familiar faces, and, most importantly, amazing food. Yes, you might be approached by someone asking for help or trying to sell you something you don't need, but hey, everybody's hustling--whether it's on the street corner or in a corporate office. Either way, Big Daddy's delivers everything you're looking for and more. Can you call in an order? You can try--but good luck! Their phone stays ringing with call-in orders, so if you manage to get through, congratulations! Over the years, I've tried a little bit of everything from BD's--the chopped chicken salad, the 3-piece wing combo with fries, the link basket, fried fish (just a taste), and the burgers. Everything is made to order, ensuring it's always fresh, hot, and delicious. Prices are reasonable, especially compared to other spots that don't even serve whole wings. My only wish? That they stayed open later for the late-night crowd. But I get it--closing at a reasonable hour makes sense. If you haven't checked out Big Daddy's yet, you're missing out! read more

This place is awesome the food and the service is phenomenal! I eat chicken every day almost and it's worth the drive. It's so fresh and hot. I start eating mine in the car. Snacks and drinks are cheap as well read more

The fried wings are delicious. I like the fact that your food is served hot and fresh. The portion is very nice and the price is as well. The people are down home people and very nice. It is a well run business and they have a huge customer base which means the customers are satisfied and keep coming back. I highly recommend this business if you are looking for good comfort food at a reasonable price. Once you place your order there may be a slight wait but it is worth it. read more

This is a grocery store/convenience store in Sunny South Dallas. Their food is really good. The prices are good as well. Their fried wing basket is oh so good.

Amazing salads. I haven't tried the breakfast as of yet, however, hopefully, my mother and I will make it one day.

Updated for chicken salad review. Small- all the way around $6. The salad was a 2/10 for me. The chicken was dry. I had to stop and pull bones out of my mouth from time to time. I didn't finish it. And wouldn't reorder. I don't get the hype. Burger review September 2023 1 o'clock The wait was 10 min or so. We waited indoors Parking: very tight. Maybe 10 spaces, if that. There's a little slab of concrete across the street (on the corner). Or you can park on the street a little farther down. You can watch them make the food. It's a convenience store too Little hood place CHEAPPPPPPP. Would I return ? Yep. Gotta try the chicken salad. Would I have to have another burger? No, not really. It was ok. 3/5, but I like my eyes to roll back when I eat a burger. And they didn't. Good hood burger tho, nonetheless. I got the double bacon cheeseburger basket (comes with fries) She got the single cheese burger basket. Everfresh Peach crush Hot Funyuns All that $20. That's crazy cheap lol read more

Big Daddy's Convenience Store - Chicken salad and fried chicken basket - Convenience Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food is great and affordable. Service can be extremely rude and uncomfortable if you ask too many questions are upset the workers in the kitchen. They should wear a mask as much as they talk right over your food!!!! The kitchen is small and the food is prepared right there. If you must talk you should speak only if necessary out of respect for the customers food. Everyone spit occasionally therefore mask should be worn to prevent spitting on the food. Think about it? It's unfortunate the kitchen staff bites the hands that feeds them. The customers that show up regularly are the ones that are securing your check each week !!!!!! The ones that come through occasionally prefer other places therefore you can't count on their money. LEARN TO RESPECT THOSE THAT PREFER BIG DADDYS FOOD!!!! If the customers are not regulars they are spending their money somewhere else. Unless you are paying for the customer you shouldn't be angry with how they request THEIR food . Remember, they are spending THEIR hard earned money. I'm SURE with some of your attitudes in that kitchen you would probably act a real fool if your order was messed up at a restaurant!!!! Treat the customers the way you want to be treated!!!! Kindness should be mandatory when customers are paying for their own food. The rudeness is not the owners fault at all!!!!! It's those in the kitchen that forget they don't own the store; they are workers paid to cook and provide good service to the customers. In closing, not everyone in the kitchen is rude but too many of them are. That's why many customers head north. They would rather pay a higher price for food just to get better customer service. That's the honest truth. Unfortunately, The customer service brings down the overall ratings of the store. Since you know better please do better!! Blessings read more

Salads r bussn .! I love this place .!! There food is always good fresh and the salads r big and the chicken is crispy read more

Best chicken salad, top tier, plan to wait and not complain about it, make sure you have time to go out there there may or may not be a wait

For a place that has a large amount of customers and serves great food the place is in terrible condition. Shut down a few days and fix this shabby place up. We will not stop eating there once they do and send them more business. read more

Always a treat! Always a crowd. Expect to order your food and wait. You can find a lot of your childhood favorites in the store. I love the salad with chicken. Simple but good. Pork chop sandwich was not good. The pork chop was extremely thin and fried hard. Chicken is good. Can't go wrong. Worth the wait and the drive. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, but YES - this was my first time trying this place and I had their chicken salad, I didn't know a chicken salad could taste so good! Plenty of food, lovely ppl!

Great chicken salad and other food is great just have to wait for awhile to prepare order.

Great food and entertainment from the employees while you wait on your order Never a dull moment and you find yourself smiling by the time you leave there no matter what your mood may have been when you first arrived! The atmosphere is a little bit of ghetto mixed with a little down to eat something that's good and prepared fresh as you wait even if it takes an extra minute or two! read more

First I would like to say I use to like there food but threw the years this place has the worst customer service I have ever seen in my 48 years. They talk to eachother and customers with anger and disrespect. They don't pay attention and they get my order wrong everytime. I order a choppes chicken breast sandwich and the pile chunks of onions and make it sloppy and very undesirable. I give them a big zero. read more

Fried chicken with Seasoning sprinkled on top. Nothing spectacular. The chicken salad was ok.

Wow. Just wow. So first off like everyone said, this is a slim shady neighborhood. It is a kitchen within a gas station. That said, MUST TRY! They have good quality control, it is maintained, the crowds are orderly and the chicken is good. I had the large salad ($5.99 for small $9.99 for large) which consists of lettuce, pickles, onions, cheese and freshly chopped chicken breast that is deboned. While I incredulously finished it, a regular human adult should have no business eating all that food. It was just good - the chicken was brined well, juicy, crispy. Wow... Also ordered a 3 piece white ($6.49), I got the fries but would recommend you skip them as there isn't anything special with the fries. Chicken is again well seasoned and juicy. All in all, I would do this again. Best fried chicken? No...I humbly believe Rudy's on S Lancaster has that distinction. But this is pretty darn close. Btw I'm anxiously awaiting for Gus fried chicken to open in ft worth, if you don't know Gus Google it! read more

Best chicken salad. Great burger. Well season cooked chicken strip special. Oh, the fish we all enjoyed. Sorry, no pics, we were hungry, food was fresh cooked, I waited on it. Pecan pie looks good, I was too full by then. Price was good. Got 3 full dinners and dessert right at 40. Best customers, love looking at the massive diverse kitchen operating. Calling off orders, status checks keeping all orders moving. Good fellowship with other customers, even the daily ones. Will return. Do recommend. Can't wait to try the pork chops and BREAKFAST! read more
