We both had the Carolina pork sandwich. It was delicious! This place is definitely a gem for an area that lacks really good restaurants. Great place to stop on the way to the beach! Look forward to trying something different next time. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - He almost ate it all by himself!! - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

This place is just great. Don't let this little hole in the wall on Rt 404 out in the middle of nowhere between Georgetown and Bridgeville fool you--because it is a whole lot of flavor. Was in there 2/23/2013 with my brother after getting a few recommendations from folks all the way over in Long Neck. Definitely worth the 30+ minute ride from Lewes or the beaches. I had the brisket sandwich and corn pone. Also tried the baked beans, best I've ever had. My guess is they get put in the smoker for a bit. No complaints. My guess is that these people will have to move to a bigger location or open a new location to handle the demand. Went in at 11:45 AM and most of the tables are full. If the house is full, order take out-- it is that good. Just one request to the owners, please get some "un-sweatened' iced tea. I don't drink sugary beverages because all of my calorie allocation is going towards your delicious food. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite after a trip to the beach. We originally had planned to stop at another BBQ place along the way but it was closed and thank goodness for that! Fat daddy's was incredible! I wasn't even hungry, but I did not want to stop eating! The Carolina sandwich was delicious and the wings were even better. They were huge and juicy with a fantastic homemade BBQ sauce. If you stop here, you MUST order the wings! The sandwich was served with fries that tasted similar to thrashers, but better. Oh and make sure you order the sweet tea too! Can't wait to go to the beach again just so I can eat here! read more

3.5 stars... Fat Daddy's is a great BBQ spot located off the beaten path in rural Delaware. They feature a long bar, a side dining area, and an outdoor patio with picnic tables in sand. Prices are very good, among the best I've ever paid for BBQ, almost everything is under $18, most meals are $9-14. I was able to get 1/2 rack of ribs, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and beans for $18. Beers start at $3.50, again a great deal. Service was very slow but once the place started emptying out the service was more attentive and friendly so maybe they were just stressed with a rush of customers. I thought the pulled pork was excellent. They put more indredients in their pulled pork than I've experienced before which added to the complexity of the flavor and they don't top it with thick sauce so you can really taste the meat. The beans were very unique and had great flavor to them as well. The mac and cheese was rather average but not bad. The ribs were a tad thin meat wise and was more tough then I've had in a while. It wasn't bad but not something I would recommend ordering here. My girlfriend got the Cuban and was very happy with it. Overall I was satisfied with my meal but I've definitely had much better BBQ before and was a little suprised at their 5 star rating. read more

We stopped here last year on the way home from our stay in ocean city. We had to stop here again this year. Real BBQ - tasty food, and sides, good service and reasonable prices. No wonder this place is a little roadside shack and parking lot is overflowing. Simple science... If there is a little roadside place on a rural road and it's packed, you know it's good. We LOVE this place and look forward to stopping for lunch on our way home from Ocean City. read more

Beef brisket was the best I've had and the hush puppies with jalapeño were the bomb!! Skip the the Mac and cheese and just order a local brew read more

Stopped here on way back from a week long trip to the beach. We stopped after an iPhone search on Yelp led us there with the 5 star reviews. I have to say we weren't disappointed at all!! The food was well worth the stop! Brisket was phenomenal, pulled pork sandwich was fantastic but was shadowed by the brisket sandwich. Echoing another reviewer, the fries were like Thrashers (though I wouldn't say better...hard to beat Thrashers). Chicken tenders for kids left a lot to be desired, but that was only complaint. Everything else was fantastic. We will definitely stop there again next year!!! read more

A bit over rated, but glad we tried it. Pork was good, brisket over seasoned over cooked. Beans and corn pone were good. Might make a better sandwich than large order to go. The packaging makes reheating impossible with out a roll of foil. Ask for sauce to go, or you will have to hit the 7/11. read more

I've eaten at a lot of BBQ places around the country the past few years and Fat Daddy's is as good as any of them. I had the pulled pork and brisket combo with cole slaw and baked beans as my sides. Everything was fantastic. They make a Carolina style pork which I don't typically care for but theirs was delicious. The brisket was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The baked beans were almost indescribably good. Fat Daddy's is a place you'd probably drive by numerous times before noticing. However, you need to be on the lookout for them and stop here the next time you are driving on 404 outside Bridgeville, DE. read more

Best BBQ I've had in while. The pulled pork was seasoned perfect and cooked to perfection and I could have eaten it plain, but, I obviously had to try the BBQ sauce... Excellent idea... Their BBQ is a spicy tangy sauce that's just enough to bite the tongue but not so much to make you sweat. Mac-n-cheese was really good and cheddar cheesy. The baked beans were really good and the most unique flavor I've ever had, Almost a green tomato salsa sort of taste... Absolutely delicious. And the cornpone... Wait... What's cornpone you ask? De-lic-ious... Essentially cornbread without the flour. It's sweeter and you can eat it with a spoon. this is a MUST STOP if you are a BBQ fan. Also... We stopped on the way back for ice cream, also a fantastic idea. read more

Great food. BBQ you can eat with a spoon. The brisket was so tender and juicy. We had the collard greens, baked beans, and the French fries - all very good! Amazing local find read more

Lived up to the hype! Buffalo wings and bbq chicken fantastic. Collard greens, potato salad, Mac and cheese. All homemade and very very good. It's off the beaten path. More of a dive restaurant than bar. But beer was nice and cold. Fat daddy, himself, worked the room. Stopping at every table to say hello and to make sure all was well. Our waitress was fine. All business. Not terribly friendly. I will go out of my way to come back. Highly recommend read more

So I decided to swing by here before class in Georgetown. Upon entrance the staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable. And to my surprise, they had beer on tap! So there I was, drinking my 16 mile blues golden, unwittingly about to taste the most incredible brisket of my life in a cozy little nook off route 404. This thing was absolutely fictitious. Words and pictures will not allow the normal human being to perceive what kind of miracle happened in the kitchen. Man must have the devil himself back there teaching him roasting techniques. Outstanding food, outstanding service. MUST GO. You'll be glad you did. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - This is how legends begin. Actually the stuff of fiction. - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

We had ordered several items from the catering menu for a party, so decided to have dinner the night before for a taste test and pickup. My wife and i both ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of corn pone. The pulled pork was SO hot and spicy I asked the waitress if it had been soaked in hot sauce! Neither of us could get past the first bite. I normally like hot sauces, but could not eat that sandwich. My wife's mouth was on fire! Who puts that much heat on Carolina pulled pork? We complained of course, and fortunately the owner did not charge us for our meal. We also changed our "party order" to exclude pulled pork! The ribs and beef brisket were okay and we served them to our guests the next day. Also, the corn pone was dry and nothing to write home about... read more

Get the brisket!!! Absolutely excellent BBQ! I've heard people ranting and raving about how good it is, and I must say I agree. I got the pulled pork and beef brisket. Both were tender and delicious! Although I would have just done a double order of brisket had I known just how good it would be. The sides are also tasty. I had the green beans and coleslaw. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Stopped by here on the way home from the beach just to try it out. I purchased the pull pork platter with baked beans and Mac and cheese. It was great! The food was sort of spicy, mainly the pork. But the food was very moist and tender! I will definitely come back! read more

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

if you like smokey bbq....this place is insanely good. Get the smoked wings...brisket is off the hook...ribs -some of the best if not the best you will ever have. All the sides are home-made... We stop here every chance we get. Unbelievable. Apple sauce, green beans, fries are our side choices. The lemonade is homemade also. read more

Excellent food. Period. Great prices and large variety of food and platters choices Can't go wrong with it read more

Very good food! Place was packed. We ordered carry out and the wait was pretty significant but completely worth the while!! The food IS a little bit pricey. I had BBQ Baby back ribs and they were very good. My friend had the Pulled pork and said it was very good also. read more

Always pass by the location on our way home from Lewes. Based on the raving on line reviews and I thought that this is worthwhile to stop in for the bbq. Disappointed with the outcome - ordered their combo platter with ribs, briskets along with sides. The portion was very small with dry out meat and expensive on top of that. We tried it once and that was enough. The lady that took our order - seems to be the owner also had an attitude - unfriendly and was eating and chomping on French fries while taking our order! Very odd customer service. read more

Stopped here for lunch on work trip. Ordered the two meat platter, brisket and pulled pork. Came with two sides, Cole slaw and hand cut fries. The brisket rub was over done. Too much chili powder....sometimes less is more...salt pepper and little garlic powder is pretty much all you need. The pulled pork was good but in an attempt to keep the product moist, they apparently leave it sit in a vinegar type sauce...tasty but a bit lazy. The fries were decent but could use a double fry to crisp up. The Cole slaw was the star of the show. All in all decent food but a tad bit over priced. read more

I'm stuffed, but I wish I could eat more. Their Cuban BBQ sandwich was excellent. I'll be coming back, often. Great place to stop on the way to the beach or back. read more

I was super lucky enough to be able to go here again today. Ever since I watched The Jeffersons as a little kid in the seventies I wanted to try a corn pone. Well they have them here and it was phenomenal. The pork ribs were just as good as the beef rib. I can't wait to come back. read more

Wow. This place is legit BBQ. Had the pulled pork sandwich. A little bit spicy, but brings some really nice heat when you add on the 'hot' BBQ sauce. The non-hot sauce is equally delicious. Mac and cheese side was very nice - creamy, but not too thick. Definitely NOT box stuff! And the bonus? Lemonade that isn't sickly sweet; in fact, if was pretty close to perfect. Definitely going to be stopping by next time I'm over here! read more

Don't order the Collards they don't know how to make them. Never seen the stems left on. No flavor. Mac n cheese is very dry. The beans are not good either. The meats good just not their sides. Sorry. Better fix it summer is coming!! read more

WOW! Found this gem of a place on the way home from the beach and decided to visit based on reviews! It did not disappoint!! GET THE BRISKET!! Fantastic service, delicious food, and fair prices. Good beers on tap! It's a really cute joint. If you want REAL food that didn't come off a Sysco truck and tastes wonderful, stop here! You won't be sorry! read more

I enjoyed the outside seating and the customer service was great. The food was delicious as well!

No masks ,we got wrong food, no distancing, and the owner was 1 with no mask ,against state law

We always stop here on the way to the beach. Incredible BBQ, especially the brisket which is the best beef brisket I've ever had. The baked beans are full of flavor too. If you have room try a cornpone, a richer cornbread like dish. read more

For great barbecue, I recommend this this spot, where a BBQ and diner feel contribute to the down home family feel. The good old-fashioned eats like ribs, chicken, brisket are on point and they top it off with all sides being homemade. This is not your run of the mill BBQ they include heaping portions of BBQ ribs along with a down home atmosphere and awesome food and prices makes this a must try on the way to the beach! read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a large group, and no reservations. They were able to accommodate us all, at separate picnic table. Even so, the space is very open and it wasn't a problem at all. We all had the combo platters to try a bit of everything. Not sure what was better, the food or the service. Wish we had such a good spot in NY! read more

Amazing absolutely incredible. Hands down the best brisket I have ever had, pulled pork and smoked wings were great too as well as the sides but that brisket though is insane. I literally would drive the 2 hour trip just to come here worth every minute and every dollar it's awesome. read more

Best Hot Wings I have ever had. Incredible Carolina Pulled Pork.

Tasted a bit of every meat. Wow! Just wow! Juicy brisket and chicken. Perfect ribs, sausages, and pork. Even the sides were outstanding.

Stopped here in Jan on my way back to VA. Awesome. The girl at the counter was super friendly and helpful... the pit master even came out front to greet me. The brisket was killer... No need for sauce. I'll be back... Lots more to try. Nice job!!! read more

This place is awesome. Just dropped in with 25 people (baseball team). First of all, "David E" probably should stick to salads and sushi (or carrots and apples) as this BBQ is as good as it gets. Brisket is excellent. Potato salad and beans abs nachos are great. Finally, don't forget the milk shake!!! read more

Yummy food. Loved the Mac and cheese the staff were friendly and took great care of us while waiting for our take out.
