Highly disappointing!!! I have made it a point to come to this place each time I travel to Atlanta. It has been a few years since I’ve been here But I figured everything should taste the same. Boy was I wrong The turkey wings were so dry. It had a similar texture of leftover microwaved meat. The broccoli and cheese casserole was so salty, and the cheese tasted like a fake processed cheese And the collard greens were absolutely tasteless. The muffin was drier than a sheet of paper.!!!! And to be fair if I’m spending $25 on a plate, none of this should be happening.
Also, may I say the atmosphere and service was also off!!!! It wasn’t welcoming it wasn’t any southern hospitality. I felt rushed to decide on what to get and the people from serving the food all the way to the waitress didn’t seem very happy to even be there.

Big Daddy’s food was not up to par at all. The turkey wing was extremely dry, and it tasted like the only seasoning they used was Cajun. There was no gravy on the food, even after I asked for some. The dressing was lumpy, stiff, and honestly just bad. The mac and cheese had nothing but pepper in it, no real flavor at all. On top of that, the servers were very rude, especially with this being my first time coming in. Overall, it was a complete waste of my money, and I will never go back again.

it felt like I was going to grandma‘s house first of all I came in and it smelled so good I saw all my cousins they where telling me what was on special and what were there favorites and then I got to the top and they say you don’t want another pork chop and I was like oh my God yes but no, I’m not trying to be greedy tonight then I was on my way out. Kenneth caught me and said you’re not gonna dine in???? Well i guess I am can i have some water pweeeeeze?

First time here, just passing threw and was looking for some good southern food. Had the meatloaf and white rice, with mack n cheese, backed beans and candy yams. I wanted to buy more but one plate was enough will definitely be back soon.

Iykyk I used to eat at the Candler Rd location for years. My mom used to live in Eastwick around 2014. I ate at that location until they closed. I used to see Big Bro cooking in the kitchen. My favorite meal is the 4’fried chicken wings with the 2 sides Mac and cheese and cornbread dressing with cranberry sauce and a cornbread muffin. I took my brother to the Candler Rd location and asked me do they know that I’m your brother lol. This is my first time eating from this location. The food is delicious. Pull up and support if not Uber Eats will get you right. I got my food on 12-3-2025.

My first time here, it was extremely over priced. The oxtail had a grease gravy and it wasn’t really seasoned or tender. My daughter wanted the turkey wing and it wasn’t cooked fully through, hands down the worst soul food I’ve purchased for a whopping 60 bucks. I will never eat here again

All the food was amazing. Fried catfish, fried chops, smothered chops, fries potatoe salad. Corn bread was decent, and the strawberry cake was okay and the peach cobbler was good. I did order chicken gravy for my yellow rice, but didn’t get any on it, and the rice was flavorless without it.
Edit: Been here a few times since and pretty much everything is amazing!

We ordered DoorDash for dinner and the smothered pork chops was for my daughter and the jerk wings wee mine. My yellow rice was watery for sine reason even under the chicken. My wings had a lot of feathers still on them. Makes me wonder do they wash the meat since they don’t bother to pick feathers off. Nonetheless the food was still great.

I’ve been coming to big daddy’s for over a decade at least. I look forward to the Oxtail special on Thursday every week! I’ve had pretty much everything here & it’s all been fresh, delicious, & just down right soulful. Real soul food. Stick to your bones kind of comfort food. From the meatloaf to the fried fish that comes out hot & crispy? You really can’t go wrong here. And that potato salad is something special too!
