Big Daddy's Dish - Mac and cheese, yams, chopped turkey with dressing and muffin - Soul Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I ordered the lunch specials. A 2 porkchop plate with broccoli casserole and potato salad and cube steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. An extra fried wing and side of spaghetti. The lunch special prices are reasonable and the portions are big. Unfortunately the food was not good. The cornbread was stale, broccoli casserole was inedible and tasted sour. Fried chicken wing was a nice size with decent flavor but porkchop was fried a little too hard for my liking. The rest of the sides were okay. I would not order from here again. read more

Waffle House is a consistent restaurant to have a delicious casual breakfast. It is clean and the servers are polite.

The food was good. Very welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Soul food is the keyword for this place. They also have a table full of slice cakes. So many different types to choose from. Southern hospitality for sure. God bless! read more

So I remember trying this place one time in 2020 and really liking it. However, I don't eat much soul food so I have not had reason to visit since then. Today was a huge disappointment. I had great service from the young lady who served my food and the cashier. Everything was presented nicely and it seemed pretty clean. Unfortunately - this food has no taste whatsoever. The salmon is really dry and way overcooked, but zero flavor. The yellow rice and black eyed peas taste the same - zero distinction, no flavor. The candy yams are ok - not mashed and still on the lower end of sweetness. The cornbread muffin is stiff and tastes like chalk. The first time I came the line was out the door. Today zero wait....now I see why. This was a huge waste of $26. (19.99 plus taxes and tip) read more

If you want some good ole big mamma's, Sunday dinner after church food (lol), then this is the place to go! The was my first time visiting the restaurant. They had so many great selections of veggies and meat entrees. I ended up ordering baked chicken with gravy and dressing and my two sides were greens and cabbage. So with each entree, you get two sides and a roll or corn bread. I believe the day I went, the dressing automatically came with the baked chicken so I wasn't charged for an extra side. The food was hot and seasoned very well. My chicken was a little on the dry side, but still delicious nonetheless. My girlfriend ordered the meatloaf. I was jealous because her meatloaf tasted way better. They also give you a good helping of food. The workers were very polite and fast and you could tell they had great teamwork. Also they prefer if you pay with cash. If you pay with a card, then I believe they may charge you a little extra, but not significantly much. All in all, I enjoyed Big Daddy's and will be back soon to try something different. read more

Whenever I myself don't feel like cooking Sunday Dinner I can always count on Big Daddy's to come through. I ordered Door Dash on this particular Sunday. I was suppose to have Fried Chicken Breast, Collard Greens, Dressing. I forgot to ask for gravy on my dressing. The store called me to say they don't have the chicken breast at that location. No problem let me get chicken wings. I ordered a kids platter too. Barbeque Chicken Wing, sweet potatoes and Mac and Cheese. Everything and I do mean everything was good. Their chicken wings are in the large side. Oh and they included a corn muffins with each meal. They are a little on the thick side. I still love this place regardless. read more

I met my brother there for lunch. I ordered blacken fish tacos. It should have been called coke slaw bowl. Fish wasn't blacken but barely warmed. Tacos are meant to be hand held, these were swimming in cole slaw juice. Couldn't eat any of it and that will be the last time eating there. Terribl. read more

My first and last time eating here. Waited over an hour for 2 catfish dinners and a 4 chicken wing platter. I ordered mac&cheese and yams for all of the sides with 2 additional sides of greens. They messed up my order several times. Came outside to ask my order again to still bring it out wrong. I got cabbage and black eyed peas, when taken back inside it was brung back out with the cabbage and black eyed peas and put the sides I actually ordered on the side in a side dish. To top it off, acted annoyed when they messed up the order! Tony apologized and said lunch will be him next time, but there will be no next time. read more

Just went here with my mom and I'm sorely disappointed. The price of a veggie plate came out to be over $10 and you don't even receive a drink, and the staff tonight were not very inviting. No eye contact from the guy putting together the plates so I wasn't sure if he was listening, and the cashier was a bit stand-offish and short. And worst of all, all of my food except the green beans were SOUR. As in, old, canned food quality! I've never in my life had sour pinto beans until now. If I could, I'd give zero stars but in the past we haven't had issues to this extent. From now on though, we will NEVER be returning and with this type of service and serving expired food, I wouldn't recommend this spot to my own worst enemy. read more

Funny story - my friend and I had just finished a spin class up the road and said we wanted some really good soul food but only sides. This was the closest place that was open so we said let's go. Soon as we walked in we both said yeah we'll get some meat too. It smelled THAT good and needless to say if got better and better. So the place is located right off the interstate (can't tell you specific to be honest, not familiar with the area). It has a large parking lot and was pretty easy to get into. Lots of seating and very clean. Menu options were endless!! All the essentials and the southern classics. It tastes like someone's Madea is in the kitchen sitting on a stool stirring the pots herself. I went overboard and got jerk chicken with yellow rice, yams, green beans, pinto beans, coconut cake, and sweet tea. All for $17. I had SO much food, but I couldn't stop eating so all that is left is the cake. The pinto beans had to be my favorite. My friend had the fried chicken, green beans, Mac and cheese, yams, red velvet cake and lemonade. Her's was about $15 and she had enough leftovers to keep for lunch. I honestly would go to this place once a week if I wasn't concerned about gaining weight. Trust me, this place will have you looking healthy (as we southerns love to say). 5 Stars! The price is VERY fair for the quality of service, food, and portions. I will for sure be back. read more

Easy to find, Lots of parking, one train and a bus from the airport. I came at opening, nice and clean, good music and some TVs. Little outdoor seating available. Self serve spot w waitress. The clerk seen me eyeballing the menu and greeted me immediately "first timer?" She explained everything and was really patient with my indecisiveness. Very affordable, Lunch special only $6.99. They have incredible lemonade. The bbq chicken wings fell off the bone, well seasoned but not hot in temperature. The Mac & cheese was good, it was googy like stove top but definitely baked. The cabbage could've been a little crunchier but still tasty. The corn rolls were nice and sweet. They have a lot of options for meats and sides. I'm from Chicago w a mother that's a soul food chef so I know quality southern style food and this is it! Next time I'm here in ATL, I'm coming back! read more

There's nothing like a small "hole in the wall" type place in the hood with good food! They are the best ones. I'll always pull up to those 1st. My cousin told me that there are two "Big daddy" restaurants in the city, and the other stole this one's name. So it gets people confused, but they aren't the same company. This place is an ala carte type of establishment. They have different plate sizes, kind of like a Chinese restaurant with a one item, or a two-item combo with sides. As we walked inside, we were greeted by three different lady asking us what we like. My cousin knew exactly what she wanted... it took me a while because I had to look at the smorgasbord of food right in front of me without wanting it all! Everything was so delicious, including their signature pink lemonade that's already pre-bottled. There was plenty of room to sit, along with a few TVs and music playing. I will definitely be coming back when I visit Atlanta again. Perfect spot if you want some "home cooked southern food". Highly recommended. read more

You can quickly grab some inexpensive, decent tasting soul food here when that craving hits you. I dined in on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday lunch. There were about 10 of us, and we were able to immediately grab seating. One of the employees tending to the dining area graciously pushed some tables together for our party. As the restaurant is cafeteria-style, we all then went to get in the food line. I chose a plate of 4 sides - mac and cheese, dressing, collard greens, and CANDIED YAMS!!! Oh-em-gee, can you tell which one was my favorite?!?!?! The yams...just right on the sweetness scale and baked to the perfect texture. Next on my list would be the tangy collards - also spot-on with the tenderness. The mac and cheese was just okay...eh, it didn't do it for me. It didn't give me that down-home southern vibe that I expect from soul food restaurant mac n cheese. And lastly, the stuffing was way too salty. Another member of my party agreed. Hopefully it was just a fluke that affected the batch we were served from. I spent $10.63 for the 4 sides (I just had water to drink). The same gentleman who pushed the tables together attentively checked on us while we were eating. Most of the other restaurant patrons seemed to take their food to go. The high level of cleanliness and upkeep of the interior of this restaurant (including the bathroom) stood out to me. I honestly went back and forth on whether to give 3 or 4 stars. I ultimately decided on 3, with the anticipation that I'll return and have some stuffing so good that I won't even believe I'm at the same restaurant. read more

Love it everytime definitely one of the best places I been in a long time , I have been here almost everyday they have been open

it's a no for me. i am giving 3 stars primarily because customer service was good. catfish was pretty good and hot as it's cooked to order. greens were not bad, yams--no, mac n cheese--no. the mac tasted like they put a LOT of mustard in it...? and ALL the sides were cold. cornbread was hard, dry, and cold. disappointing after spending over $25 for the meal and two peach cobblers. the cobbler was OK. unfortunately, nothing was worth me coming back for second chances. :-/ read more

Loved it!!! And staff was very friendly :) I live about an hour away so next time I am in the area I'd love to come again for sure. It was very quick and easy so many menu options it was overwhelming to choose lol but you get a good amount of food for a small price which is great. read more

Be aware. This place closes whenever they want. Came at 8PM to grab food, employees were walking out. Apparently they close early.

Didn't get a picture. I had sampled everything and my plate wasn't cute enough for yelp by the time I made it home. Yams were some of the best I've had in GA. They're my favorite food so I'm real picky about those! Mac was good and cheesy. Only complaint was the fried chicken. Tasted a bit old. Could be due to the cafeteria style way of serving food. I'm assuming it was left out a bit long without being replaced. Personally, I feel like the staff should've noticed beforehand and put fresh chicken out. Line was a bit confusing as there was a bit of chaos. But overall pretty good experience. read more

Came in today and picked up dinner. It was terrible ,I ordered the chopped turkey over white rice, dressing and greens beans. Everything tasted spoiled and as if it had been sitting out for a while. A complete waste of $15.00 +. I threw my entire plate in the trash. So disappointed. read more
