I eat here a lot and I always enjoy it. I had ribs today and the new garlic fries, which are really good. I love the chicken and pulled pork. I like to get a fat meal once in a while when I feel like cutting out some carbs. The potato wedges are a great break from standard French fries too. The real strength of fat daddy's is the spicy bbq sauce. It's my favorite. The owner is an awesome guy and great to talk with. There's a casual ambiance, always good music, and a down home feel. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - One hot dog One rib and it was supposed to be pulled pork but it was disgusting - Barbeque Near Me - Redding, California

Maybe it was a fluke, but my first order was a big fat disappointment. I ordered tri tip, potato salad, onion rings, and the four piece BBQ chicken. I didn't realize tri tip could be that tough. The potato salad is basically Reser's, Sysco, ? The onion rings were alright! The BBQ chicken tasted like it was charcoal-rubbed Now grab a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's, slather, and faaat daaaadddy! read more

I came to order to go, and it was pretty quick. The ambience was Good. The food was good, but I did get food poisoning from here. What a shame. Unfortunately won't be going here anymore. read more

When I crave BBQ this is my absolute go to place. Boneless country ribs are my absolute favorites

Food is good. Portions are far too small for the price though. A problem really common with bbq places.

I love the way their cook their ribs. A great option if you are looking for bbq, pork and beef ribs in particular although they have other options as well. read more

YUM. Great tasting BBQ. I'm from the Bay Area; let me tell you I was impressed. This is a small joint. Nothing fancy yet full of flavors. I will be back! read more

Unfortunately this BBQ spot feel short Of some good tasting barbecue. Pulled ups Dj attempted to scan the QR code to find out it doesn't work. Thought it was a cool carhop idea but nonetheless went inside and it appeared at one point Fat Daddy's was a popping place but has since come down some notches the food was bland at best and covered in sauce to replace that flavor that was missing. The gentleman was very nice though that helped but this review is based on the flavor. read more

This is $20 worth of tri tip. Seems to have been reheated. Sent no utensils or napkins with our door dash order. The potato salad is Reser's.The soda even tasted terrible. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - This is $20 worth of tri tip. - Barbeque Near Me - Redding, California

The BBQ here is really delicious. I got a pulled pork sandwich, potato wedges, and baked beans. All were delicious. I do wish the sandwich had more sauce on it. But overall, it was very good. It's casual and you can order from your car! And the guys working were very friendly. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - a plate of beans and a sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Redding, California

I was passing through Redding and needed to stop and eat somewhere. Ended up with a fantastic pulled pork sandwich and the beans were damn good too. Felt bad not finishing but I tend to get sleepy on long drives, so I ate half and saved the rest for later. Having finished that second half, I can truly say I had a divine experience here. Friendly dudes behind the counter as well. read more

Yes!! What a lil goldmine this place is. The place is what I would call a little hole in the wall joint. I tried the country beef ribs with the bbq beans (oh lawd) and the bbq wedges. I'm a firm believer in getting what I pay for and Fat Daddy's did not disappoint with the meat and sauce portions. My fat*ss couldn't stop eating it, even after I was full! I guess a photo would've been in order, but I was so excited and devoured the meal before I could think of getting a pic. Fyi, they close at 5:30 pm daily so they do not offer dinner. I will definitely return as they are totally affordable! read more

Delicious food, clean environment, friendly staff! Definitely will be revisiting! Their BBQ potato wedges and Tritip sandwiches are soooo good!!! read more

Good food, but lowering the rating to create some urgency for the owner to update pricing on the printed menus and spot-clean those dirty vents etc. Technically the owner should be honoring the lower price from the printed menu if someone is ordering from the printed menu, price as advertised. Hopefully the owner does this soon so I can change my review back to five stars. read more

I was really hoping the food would have blown me away since the decor did not. This 60 dollar meal is something my really old grandpa would throw together on a weekend real quick. The bbq sauce was from Walmart along with the potato salad. Slaw was soupy. The meat was tender and had char, but there is not an ounce of originality, no pizazz, no nothing really. It was so hot we tried eating outside but the tables were gross and at first the person who took our order was making the food, so we didn't want to be a bother. The worst thing was trying to keep the flies off me. Before I ever go back to this place, I will try EVERY other bbq place in Redding. read more

Place is coleslaw is even delicious. I usually get the three combo. The owner is super friendly. Love this place

Okay so look.. I was really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. A lot of reviews say "don't eat here bc expensive/bland/etc", but here's an honest review from my viewpoint. Service was amazing. Honestly had a homey vibe to it. Nothing wrong with that. The food was delicious. Was... I was honestly starving therefore I just scarfed it down. Half way through I found a bug on the lettuce. I don't have a picture of it bc I just threw it away and continue eating bc I was hungry. But then the next thing I found was very unacceptable, A HAIR!! Oh my god, I'm still grossed out. I'm not looking for a refund or free thing or anything along the lines of that. Just please do better for the next future customers. I didn't want to give this restaurant a low score but I cannot lie about what happened. read more

This is a great place for lunch. Personable good service, they recognize you and kick up good conversation instantly, best ribs anywhere in the US, cool little diner!!! read more

As part of a road trip to San Francisco, I roll all up into Fat Daddy's and immediately ordered up the pulled pork combo and added a hot link sammie. In short: Pulled Pork Sandwich: the pulled meat is shredded finely, more so than normal BBQ. A bit drier BUT with a slathering of their spicy BBQ sauce (a darker, thick sauce) makes it a decent sammie. I thought this would have been the star of the show based on reviews posted but maybe a 3.5 star. Hot Link Sandwich: Now this is what I am talking about! 5 stars for the Hot Link. The sausage link is spilt lengthwise on the bun with Caesar salad piled on top. The spice level blends in well with the fresh crunch of the greens! BBQ Beans: tangy, thick like chili, and with chucks of barbecue. Onion Rings: Super crunchy batter and hot onion insides. No complaints here as Fat Daddy makes these my favorite way. Satisfying meal and fuel for the long drive ahead, Fat Daddy's is now officially bookmarked for future trips. read more

I came in to Fat Daddy's as I was traveling back to Washington State and had found them on Yelp. I told them I was ready for some great BBQ and wanted a good sampling of what they have to offer and to prepare me just what they would want if it were their last meal :) Let me tell you, they didn't disappoint me and I savored the BBQ all the way to the Oregon border. I had 2 succulent Ribs, some pulled pork and a smoked sausage which had some kick to it but very juicy. All it it was great. I also had their baked beans which are hearty by themselves and the cole slaw was fabulous. It had some crispness to it like small diced apples or jicama was in it. Very good and fresh! Overall, I'll be back on my next trip through Redding. Great choice. read more

I had the chicken dinner with cole slaw and a drink, and it was great. I think next time I'll order the BBQ sauce on the side so I can taste the chicken without the sauce, and add what I want. Service was fast and the price was very reasonable. read more

I didn't realized they closed at 5pm and I showed up for dinner. The owner walked out and I asked if they were closed. He said yes but that he would take my order anyways. He unlocked the doors, invited me in, took my order and chatted with me while it was being made. He is such a kind and genuine person. I was already sold then! On top of that, the food is great! I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich on the garlic bread bun! Yum! read more

Just gets worse every year. The food, the amenities...everything going downhill. The fixin's bar was gone, no napkins, no soda machine. And most importantly the bbq, I am very sad to say...it sucked. But there's no fast bbq in Redding. Dangit Fat Daddy's...:( read more

One of THE best tri tip sandwiches I have ever had!! Fries were amazing too! Everyone was so friendly, even for the brief time I was there getting my to go order. Can't wait for my next meal here! read more

Always delicious. Never disappoints. I have eaten in as well as ordered for family gatherings. Definitely 10/10

Had the ribs. Seemed like they were boiled without any seasonings and very tough to eat. Took one bite and tossed them. Ate most of the onion rings but the ranch was gross. Went home and made myself dinner. Can't figure out how this place is still in business honestly. read more

Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll have what she's having. The crowd favorite is the pulled pork plate with bbq beans and potatoes. Yep. Order up. Happily stuff yourself like I did. I had leftovers aplenty. Hubby had the ribs... he took no prisoners back to the hotel, but can't move. :) Paper plates full of food. Best deal for a carnivore. What are you doing still thinking about it? Hit this dive joint with great grub that was playing ACDC and Led Zeplin. Staple a dollar bill to the ceiling and enjoy. read more

I was very discouraged when I visited this restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. I checked Yelp and it said that the restaurant was open, but when I got there I discovered that it was not open that day. It is irresponsible to do this to your customers and not change your opening hours during the holidays. I had to waste my time. read more

I definitely enjoyed my visit to fat daddy's. The gent working the counter here was absolutely cool and the food was fantastic/simple. We both got pork, with a few sides. The pork was delicious. I liked the beans as well. I found the service here to be the real deal and wish I were close enough to give this business more of my money. read more

Fat Daddy's BBQ - Happy husband with amazing garlic fries , baby back meal with beans and garlic fries !! - Barbeque Near Me - Redding, California

I feel sorry for the folks in Redding that think this is BBQ. Putting bbq sauce on your food doesn't mean you serve BBQ. My lunch consisted of a pulled pork sandwich with no flavor what's so ever, bbq beans that were canned pinto beans cooked in bbq sauce with some kind of stringy meat in it. French fries that tasted like they were fried in 2 day old oil. I picked the spicy bbq sauce to try an kick up the taste of the pork. It had no spice or heat or even a good taste. A very disappointing experience read more

On our long drive home from Portland to Fair Oaks, we wanted something yummy, but not fast food. We wanted a fast meal though. Checked Yelp and Fat Daddy's BBQ popped up with great reviews. We decided to try it. So glad we did! Looks like a converted old time drive in burger place with servers on skates. Don't let the looks deceive you!!! Inside we ordered at the counter. We decided to split a Fat Daddy Meal for $10.95. We chose pulled pork, chicken, and tri tip with onion rings and coleslaw as our 2 sides. Oh my gosh, it looked and smelled so good, I forgot to take a picture. It was served on two plates for us and it was the perfect amount for a light yet delicious meal. We have book marked it for our next trip through Redding. read more

It was just OK. The tri-tip wasn't seasoned at all. It seemed to be baked possibly? And then just dipped in BBQ sauce. The roll was good, the BBQ sauce was good and the fries were good. However, the potato salad was definitely not home made and tasted like the sweet gross stuff that comes pre-made in a tub. Unfortunately we won't be back. Maybe I just have high standards coming from LA. read more

The people in here are super friendly and the food is always fantastic I love getting lunch here. The barbecue sandwiches on garlic bread are the best!! read more

HOLY MOLY! Coming back to Cali after an Oregon road trip we surveyed roads for like 50 miles waiting to find a well rated place near the highway to feast at. WELL BOYS, I FOUND THE MECCA My gf had the tri-tip sammy and I had the combo tri-tip & pulled pork sandwich. Both meats are hot fire and the BBQ sauce is absolutely delicious. We left no prisoners. End of my meal Im beyond full so I knew I had to get some Burnt Rib Tips for the road. Yea seriously, they got burnt tips from the bbq short ribs, and they sell em by the pound!!! Lord help me to be strong, I dnt know if I can wait to come see them again read more
