I was so excited to try Big Daddy Cafe again because it has been years since I have had a plate from here. I was surprised when the food is nothing like I remembered it. The Mac and Cheese was so salty i could not even eat it. The collard greens were too salty as well. The BBQ ribs were ok. I would recommend The Beautiful which is right next door.

Large portions!!!!! Definitely enough for lunch and dinner. I had the curry goat, which never disappoints. My Husband had the big daddy combo, and devoured the plate without coming up for air. There is a funny small at this establishment but I'm almost certain that's the mixture of oxtails, goat and greens. There are homeless men lingering outside, but I've never seen them cause trouble or beg. If you like a full belly of good seasoned foods, you'll love this spot. Oh and the corn muffin is pure love!!!!!!!!

I normally don't do reviews but I had to. I called a hr before closing and someone picked up the phone, took some time to say hello, put me on hold before I could respond, put someone else on the phone who instantly started talking to me without greeting me. After redirecting the convo I was advised they weren't taking anymore phone orders. My sister went to pick up the food and told me it was a bit chaotic inside as the staff seemed overwhelmed n were fussing at each other.
The food was not good at all. I got turkey legs, mac n cheese n greens. Mac n cheese was runny with an overcooked top layer

A weekly fav or go to when you don't have time or energy to cook. There is usually a line which is expected so go early! My favorite entrees are their oxtails, baked and fried chicken, turkey wings, and turkey with dressing. Nice variety of sides such as Mac and cheese, cabbage, collard greens, mashed potatoes, and squash to name a few. Desserts are delectable! Service is usually quick and worth the time and $$.

I ordered the curried goat over rice with rutabagas and Mac and cheese. My cousin had oxtails, candied yams, and Mac and cheese. The curry goat was not spicy AT ALL! This is the first time I have ordered curry goat and it not be spicy. The food was delish and you get a lot for the price. I also like that rice is included and is not considered a side. Masks are required in the restaurant.

Horrible. I tried to give them another chance and the food was worse then my last review. Meatloaf was crumbly with some discount Barbecue sauce and it tasted awful..the broccoli casserole tasted extremely weird almost sour, and the mash potatoes were instant and salty as ever. I tried to give them another chance but I'm done. I literally threw it in the trash. I can't remember the last time I had food this bad. I will not be returning ever.

Stopped by here since the beautiful was closed. I'd heard about big daddy's but never tried to. I ordered baked chicken, field pea, Mac n cheese and rice. The chicken didn't have flavor. The peas didn't have flavor. The Mac n cheese was sweet for some reason. Rice wasn't good either. I probably won't be bAck. I thought it was African American soul food but it appears to be owned or ran by Jamaicans. I don't care for foreign soul food (made by Chinese, Jamaicans, Mexicans, etc) because it never tastes right. However you may find joy if you like the culture&apos

I Ordered Turkey wings with dressing, yellow rice, and broccoli cheese casserole. My partner ordered veggie plate with sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and banana pudding. The wait is rather long on a Sunday afternoon. The food is on a food table where you are served while you look at it. Restaurant could definitely use some renovations/upgrades. Food was Good.

First and foremost, the customer service was top notch!! Good customer service can be difficult to come by, but not at Big Daddy's!! The staff were so pleasant, friendly, and welcoming! Now, for the food... It's certainly some of the best I've had since moving to Georgia!! My family ordered the ribs, baked chicken, tilapia, and turkey wings! The sides wr tried were candied yams, mac and cheese, collard greens and cabbage. EVERYTHING was so tasty and satisfying! You'll definitely take food home! The portion sizes are very generous! No lie, you will not regret trying this place

I used to eat here pretty often but slacked off recently. My mom wanted some good soul food today so we decided to try Big Daddy's again. I was disappointed. First I ordered all white meat chicken for my mom. It was supposed to be a breast and a wing. As I was waiting for my food, I was called to the counter and told that they didn't have any more breasts and they only had wings left. So, I had to settle for wings even though my mom didn't want all wings. And I got no apology for it. It was just matter of fact. I could of at least been offered a styrofoam cup full of sweet

***BIG DADDY HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!****
So, while doing my civic duty and working the 2017 Atlanta Mayoral campaign, I decided to walk over from headquarters and get a bite. Honestly couldn't recall if I'd ever eaten here way back in the day or not.
Well. If I did ever eat here before, I see why I don't recall it. This was AWFUL.
I got the lunch special, tilapia and two sides. Fish had no flavor, green beans were decent- obviously canned, and omg the broccoli rice casserole (wait lemme snap a picture of it) tastes like something out of a dry mix envelope. I asked for extra

A relative recommended this shop for some good soul food, she did not disappoint me. I will say that it's not "knock your socks off" good but it is satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy, with a small dining area with a homey diner feel. The service was good. We were not aware that we had to order first before being seated so that would be something that they should get some signage on. The fish was good, the breading was the perfect thickness. The greens and mac & cheese are seasoned well, but the wings were blah. I would recommend this location. If I'm back in the are I&apos
