Stopped here today on my way back from a trip over the Bridge. It is definitely out of the way if you are coming out from the beach on 404. Only open for lunch on Thursdays and Sundays, but they stay open later for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays - the Yelp hours are wrong. I had the pork bbq sandwich which came with chips, a pickle, and a tiny bit of cole slaw. I wasn't overwhelmed with the cole slaw. But OMG. The pork bbq is to DIE FOR. I worked in NC for many years and have had their pork bbq, which I absolutely love (vinegar based), but I must say the flavors of this pork (Delaware bbq based) were exceptional. They have sauces you can get on the side if you want. I got them and threw some "hot" on it. It's not very hot by the way....unless you're like me, and you like hot. I want to go back and try their brisket and everything else. As people have commented the place is rustic, probably MAGA owned, or whatever. It was just awesome. Lunch came with a refillable sweet tea for a whopping total of TEN BUCKS...where are you gonna find that today. Small surcharge if you pay with a card. I'm going back if I am heading back or forth to the Bridge on a weekend during the day for some reason. Check 'em out! read more

The ribs and brisket is good. The downside is I never been to a bbq place they only served pulled pork sandwich just with sauce all ready on it. That tells me they're trying to hide something. Should be able to add your own sauce on it. If it's good they will serve it without sauce. The service is good, time it takes get the food is good. The ambiance is ok nothing special. I couldn't give it 5 stars with having the pulled pork sandwich only in sauce. read more

I purchased a $127 to go order for my husband's birthday. I specifically asked the phone for a lean brisket and was told we only have lean brisket. I thought excellent. Despite my request, the order arrived with fatty brisket. I promptly returned the order, only to receive inedible brisket in return. Since I'm over 50 miles away and home, there's not much I can do other than share my experience. This is not the first time this has happened with brisket not acceptable, and it's disheartening because my family generally enjoys this establishment. It used to be a great place, but this recent experience has made me hesitant to order again. read more

Wasn't what I expected at all. Ribs were really dry. The North Carolina BBQ was St.Louis style. The sides were kid's size. The Brisket was by best ok I can cook it way better. The front staff were kids that were very immature. They were horse playing and loud. read more

Great place to stop on the way and back from the beaches. Sunday at 11am the food came out so fast and service was great. It's clean,charming and sandwiches were amazing. Pulled pork sandwich had a spicy kick, big daddy beef was a lean roast beef, and kids inhaled the brisket. Will definitely be back again. read more

We stopped en route from DC to Rehoboth. We had a pulled pork sandwich and a 1/2 chicken platter (with sides of macaroni and cheese and Cole slaw) all fantastic, and two sweet teas for just over $20. Super flavorful, and the home made barbecue sauce was so good we bought some to go. We'll be back! read more

Excellent food! Good service! Nothing left to say. Nothing left to say. Nothing left to say. Nothing left to say. Nothing left to say.

Great country roadside ambiance. Service very helpful and attentive. Food is excellent I eat in and take home as well. Sorry no pictures

Sadly, no pit turkey anymore. I don't eat the red meat so I don't go anymore. Wish they'd bring back the turkey.

Really good ribs, tasty sides, and great service. Hopefully I'll be back to sample some more meats but the ribs were recommended and they did not disappoint. I don't see a sampler-type platter for one person but if there was I missed it and would have taken them up on it. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - 1/2 rack of ribs, potato salad, and collard greens. All were tasty! - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

My wife found reviews for Fat Daddy's and we knew we had to check it out while in the area. The restaurant is located in a rural area about half way between Seaford and Georgetown. We arrived shortly after 12pm and went inside where there were several people picking up to-go orders. Due to covid they were only offering table service outside which is where we headed. Amy quickly greeted us and took our drink orders. I ordered a diet soda and my wife ordered the Mama Frey's Homemade Lemonade. We both decided on our entrees, I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of mac-n-cheese and my wife ordered 6 of the smoked chicken wings also with a side of mac-n-cheese. During our visit we also met Fat Daddy, we learned the restaurant has been in operation for about 8 years when Fat Daddy retired after 38 years as a mason. He told us he took his hobby of grilling/smoking and made it into a business. He was very friendly and welcoming and told us that all the meats except the chicken is smoked with hickory wood while the chicken is cooked on Kingsford charcoal briquettes. Our orders arrived quickly and looked awesome! Amy also brought us two barbecue sauces, hot and regular. We dug in and were both impressed with the creaminess and cheesiness of the mac-n-cheese. My wife really enjoyed the chicken wings and said they were much bigger than the average chicken wings. My brisket sandwich was delicious and very tender and juicy. My wife really enjoyed the lemonade as well. The prices were reasonable as well. This is a definite must visit if you are in the area - everything was a definite 5-stars!!!! read more

We have been going to fat daddys for about 8 years , the service and atmosphere has allways been great . We are planning a wedding and decided on fat daddys to do the catering , we called and asked to speak to one of the owners , a lady came to the phone she was a little brash but that was ok , fast forward to saturday , we took our daughter the groom , his parents and their 3yr old grand daughter for a taste test , what a mistake ! The 2 appetizers we ordered took 35 mins , the place almost empty , maybe 4 tables , in fact when we walked in our waiter was sitting at the bar playing on his phone , fast forward another 40 mins and 1 meal came out , after complaining to the waiter and then the owner our meals half of them cold came out well almost all of them , they forgot the child's meal altogether and when they did bring it out it was wrong not only once but twice , I told the waiter this was bullshit , he stormed off and out she came OMG yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs , we were shocked I asked her to please stop and she said no ! Now the 3yr old was visibly upset , the grooms mother even asked her to quiet down there was no need to shout , this made her worse , neither myself or my husband ate , we were all in shock , he the owner took 50% off the price , but the damage was done , we informed him we would not be using them for the wedding , while we were outside apologizing to everyone for the disgusting behavior, he the owner came out and told us that they didn't want to cater our wedding anyway ! No wonder they are now only open a couple of days a week for a few hours a day because business has dropped off and is up for sale , with her disgusting mouth i wonder why ! We will not be going there again , The owners need a serious reality check . read more

Nice little place on the side of the road. It was pretty busy and I bet if I came on another day when the brisket and ribs were Just out they would have been amazing. They were seasoned well and the BBQ sauce did not overwhelm the smoked meat. I'd pass on the beans and potato salad, but worth another try. read more

This is definitely a locals place. It is off the beaten path, but very crowded. Not sure if they were short staffed, but the service was off and slow. The pork ribs and brisket were tasty. I was not that crazy for the side orders. The clientele who were leaving as we were entering all had good things to say about the food. Definitely a cool place to stop at if never been. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

We stopped by Fat Daddy's on the way back to our neck of the woods after a long day at the beach and I can honestly say, as a BBQ lover, and self proclaimed Pit Master, I thoroughly enjoyed their style of BBQ. Everything was delicious, our waitress was nice, and our food came out in a timely fashion. Fat Daddy's isn't a five star restaurant, it's a double wide trailer with park style picnic tables on the inside, giving you an old school BBQ joint feel. But what it lacks in upscale decor it makes up for it with its delicious food, and home away from home feel. If I was forced to add one area of improvement, and again, I'd have to be forced, we had the three meat two sides platter with the North Carolina Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, and BBQ Ribs, with Green Beans and BBQ baked beans, and the North Carolina Pulled Pork wasn't vinegary as most NC Pulled pork that I've grown up eating(my Dad is from NC and I've traveled there every summer my entire life, so I'm very familiar). But that's me reaching, because their style of Pulled Pork was still very delicious a I would definitely visit again. read more

Wow! This pitmastet knows what they're doing! Clearly a place to stop for excellent BBQ. Listing says Georgetown, but it's actually closer to Bridgeville. I'd travel for this place. Wings were succulent and full of flavor. Hot sausage had that 'snap' and was delicious. Also had the brisket, also good, but we LOVED the other meats so much, it was half a step behind. All sides are homemade and generous. Pick your favorite. Call ahead for pickup because it's all made to order and takes time to get it perfect. Service is attentive with updates. Lots of catering leaving the place and I can see why. Inside is very rustic but clean and fine. Hershey's ice cream and shakes. This now our favorite place to stop between home and the beach, whichever direction we go. read more

I'll give y'all the other 2 stars if y'all just open more often. I want to be able to eat there during the week too and I'm driving from lewes just to get it . read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - BBQ ribs and french fries - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

Not many options for good quick food in this area. Luckily we have this bbq gem. Stopped by for the first time today and was not disappointed. I ordered the kids meal .... upgraded to the brisket slider and upgraded to the adult drink, with the included side (I got fries) it totaled $11. It was the perfect amount of food! My husband got the regular brisket sandwich... be careful it just comes with a bag of chips, we went back in and got baked beans... best decision because they were delicious, a bag of chips just don't to it when your at a bbq place. Glad we hadn't left the parking lot yet bc we also needed bbq sauces... a pet peeve of mine is bbq places who a.) do not supply bbq already, or b.) don't even ASK if you want it. I would have been upset if we pulled off without it. It was extra $ and they give you way more than you will ever need... idk this whole situation was not well orchestrated IMO. The sweet iced tea, I regret to say that it either wasn't, or definitely did not taste, homemade. Not great. Overall, I was super satisfied the brisket was amazing and the baked beans were bomb. read more

Not handicapped accessible. Fat Daddys has the best barbecue around. I'm a local resident & have gone there for many years. But this time I took my disabled son. He could not maneuver his power chair up the curb while making the sharp turn onto the sidewalk - he had to be pushed by restaurant staff. read more

They're never really open anytime I go by there. So I'm tired of wasting my time going by just to find that they're closed. The barbecue and food was pretty good if I remember from the last time I was there, but the inconvenience of them opening whenever it is they feel like it makes it hard for me to plan on eating there. So I don't! read more

This is a seriously good barbecue place! Ribs and brisket are amazing. Not much on atmosphere, but you can't eat atmosphere, and the servers are excellent. read more

Great place to get BBQ, the staff is great. They have great customer service and they are in high demand for their amazing food. They do offer dine in or take out. If your ever on the Eastern Shore riding through on your way to the beach, make sure to stop by Fat Daddy's BBQ in Georgetown, De on Route 404. You can't miss it, it will be the place with the great barbecue smoke smell, cars out side and a full house. Tell them Fairy Food Delivery app recommended you to pay them a visit. Enjoy! read more

Fun roadside BBQ joint with warm-hearted service I will return when in the area. There is a biker bar vibe but it was non-intrusive and I did not feel alienated. Unfortunately, I had to get food to go due to logistical issues but I did use the restroom and walk around the joint enough to get the general vibe. The brisket sandwich was slightly dry and very simple but worth the money and otherwise the sauces and meats were good. read more

This is the best darn BBQ for miles and miles! I love the rustic atmosphere too. The service was fast and friendly, and the food amazing. The brisket is delicious! I highly recommend this place, it is worth the ride! read more

What a hidden gem, this place is delicious. My boyfriend stops here every time on his way from DC to Ocean City and now I know why. This not only has some of the best bbq, but if you're a french fry lover, these might be the best. Loaded fries on weekends might be my favorite thing except that I think they are missing out since the fries should be topped with meat. The mix it up combo is great we like to try different meat each time. The brisket is a favorite and so is the pork. The sides that they offer are also very good. The collard greens and cole slaw go great with the meat. They have two in house sauces that are a little on the sweet side but really good. Service is friendly and fast, a great spot if you're in town. read more

I had the most amazing tender brisket sandwich that was moist and juicy yesterday. Guy Fieri needs to come visit Fat Daddy's. I took a city slicker there for her first time yesterday and she said. "why have you never taken me here?" (twice) Fat Daddy's is down home and friendly. You can get the brisket sandwich for $9.99 served with chips and pickle or do yourself a favor and get the brisket platter for $13.45 including two sides EVERYTHING is homemade. There is no SYSCO premade food. There are about 10 different sides offered but the potato salad, and French fries are the bomb. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. I spoke to the owner , Fat Daddy himself, yesterday who told me this used to be a diner back in the day. Also, Mama Frey, came out from the kitchen to tell us she had finished her homemade chicken noodle soup! Mama Frey makes the best bread pudding you have ever had however they had no desserts yesterday. Fat Daddy's is the best barbeque on the Eastern Shore. They are also known for their ribs. Next time! read more

I'm an avid bbq fan and cook. This place takes 1st prize, hands down!! That's all I have to say.

I had high hopes for this establishment. Cashiers were pleasant . Ribs were burned dry and the spice rub they used must have been purchased or made by the devil himself. Ribs were to To To SPICY/HOT. To spicy/hot for family to eat. MAC and cheese was ok lacked flavor and greens were bland. Food prices are reasonable, but being a bbq and smoked meats fan, if you can't get the Ribs half way correct I think I will past on the rest. I am not a picky person, but this was not a good meal. This is just my opinion. I hope everyone else has a better experience. read more

I love this place! Excellent and varied flavors across their meats; super casual, inviting atmosphere; helpful friendly service... what else... a few beers on draft... tv... outdoor/indoor dining options... next door to a large fruit/veg market with a children's play area... ooops, sorry for the wandering digression... let's stay focused on the food, because it was awesome! We split one of their samplers (the Pig Pen) for around $30. The Pig Pen comes with... 3 small sandwiches (pulled pork, beef brisket and a cheeseburger), a 1/2 rack of ribs, 1/2 dozen chicken wings (these are smoked wings - smoked for over 2 hours) ... wait I'm not done... it also comes with a cornpone (whatever that is... it's really good) and 2 sides (slaw and beans). The smoke came through on the wings, the spice came through most on the pulled pork, the ribs had a terrific bark... and my favorite was a tossup between the brisket (which is a meat I just love) and the cheeseburger (which was shockingly good)... wait maybe it was the pulled pork... ugh, my senses were overwhelmed, making it so hard to choose. Thankfully we didn't have to. You might find a BBQ that suits your taste preferences better, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a place that delivers flavor and value as well as the folks at Fat Daddy's do. read more

Average would be my review. Service was average. Food was a bit salty and average. I posted a pic if my receipt and I thought it is a bit tacky to charge for a burger they add for ine cheese over another or charge for onions but the waitress doesn't tell you there is an extra charge. They fries were soggy where I expected a crunch. The decorations inside were abundant . The owner stopped by and was friendly. I doubt we will go back but it's worth a try just be aware of the extra fees they charge. read more

I came back home for the annual Georgetown Oyster Eat. A buddy suggested that I check out this newer local bbq place just outside of town. So I took my mother here for dinner tonight. I would be a regular here for sure if I still lived here. Upon entering, we were pleasantly greeted and told we could sit anywhere. We walked to the back area and sat down at a picnic table. We ordered soda and corn pone. The pone is a wet cornbread that was delicious. I wanted to order more but knew we had a big meal ahead of us. I ordered the Cuban sandwich (ham, Swiss, pickles and pulled pork) along with Mac and cheese. My mother ordered the pulled pork platter with beans and Mac and cheese. We were both able to finish our dinner but are stuffed as I write this review. I highly recommend the Cuban sandwich! There was two different types of bbq sauce on the table...one spicier and one sweeter. I do wish these were labeled but I was able to try both of them and then decide. The owner was walking around to ensure everyone was happy which was appreciated. The service was great and we never had to wait for anything. This place is highly recommended and will definitely be a place I visit each time I am in town. read more

Very busy for lunch in a Friday at 1:00, but service was fast. Food was very tasty. Cornpone Aline is worth a visit. The bbq was a little fatty. My brisket was probably 1/4 fat, but was very tender and flavorful. It's worth a stop. read more

Amazing food. The atmosphere is great the brisket is out of this world and so are the ribs. Best burger in town.
