Let me preface this review with the fact that I have eaten at countless BBQ restaurants and consider it one of my favorite places to eat, especially in Texas and Oklahoma. With that said, this place had by the hands down the best brisket I have ever had and I will definitely be back. I stumbled upon this place by chance, having a friend that lives nearby. It was both of our first visit, and prices were reasonable and the wait was reasonable. It was not very busy.

Restaurant was clean. Service was good. My wife and I both had sliced brisket, plus I had pulled pork. Barbecue and sides were just average, but good. If you are craving a good, quick barbecue meal, this place will satisfy your craving.

The experience wasn’t very good overall. The ordering experience was a bit confusing because we didn’t know that the menus were printed and located on the counter as opposed to the large sign on top of the counter. The person that took our order wasn’t very friendly and it almost felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there. They were completely out of all BBQ sauces other than spicy. Lastly it was a bit awkward because the music was playing at a very low volume and then it suddenly ended. Meaning that the entire restaurant was in complete silence and you could literally hear people from other tables chewing.
Regardless, the food was delicious, it was only the atmosphere that was off putting.

We tried Big Daddy’s last night for the first time and I had to share how impressed I was. We had ham, turkey and brisket and they were all delicious. My turkey did not even need any BBQ sauce. It was so moist! My son is a sauce freak. He used his mine and my little one’s and said it was delicious.
The sides were great too. The baked beans were as good as mine – rich and tasty. The okra was perfect and the ranch that they served with it (I didn’t have to ask for it or pay for it) tasted homemade. My kids both had the fries and said they were great. My hubby had green beans. They were bacon seasoned and good. They were just a bit too black peppery for my taste. I saw a negative comment about the potato salad on yelp. I look forward to putting that to the test next time.
The other negative comment I saw was regarding the prices. I felt like they were standard for BBQ. The portions were more than enough for my crew. My teen son and I had the one meat plate ($9.95). It filled him up perfectly. I had mine for dinner and my 5 year old and I shared the leftovers for breakfast and it filled us up again. My husband got two meals out of the two meat plate ($11.95) too. I can’t imagine how anyone could expect more.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because we didn’t dine in so I can’t speak to that and we didn’t get to try much of the menu. To me, 5 means its all amazing and I’m not ready to commit to that. I will definitely say its worth trying!

Food is majorly overpriced and underwhelming.
Pros:
-Food was edible.
-Restaurant was clean.
-Staff was polite.
-Fries were fresh
Cons:
-MASSIVELY over priced.
-Ribs were small and mostly flavorless. As a bonus they smelled like old shoe-leather.
-Bonus bonus, it was painfully obvious that my ribs had just been reheated in the microwave.
-Sauce is watery and generic to a fault.
-Potato salad was just random sized chunks of potato with mustard and a small amount of black pepper, if there were other seasonings, they weren’t apparent.
On the whole this is just a mediocre restaurant. However, the pricing is out of control. If the food was fairly priced, this place would do in a pinch for fast food BBQ, but lackluster food in conjunction with overpricing makes this one of the worst restaurants in Little Elm.

The best thing going for this place is how close it is to my house and that the pepole were friendly. Price was about average for BBQ although I wasn’t crazy about having to pay $4 extra for ribs on my 3 meat plate. Otherwise I was not impressed. The rub on the ribs wasn’t that great and I could hardly taste it. I like salt but the brisket rub had so much in it I almost couldn’t eat it. Personally I hated the BBQ sauce, way WAY too much vinegar for my taste. The tea containers need a good scrubbing with bleach because it tasted aweful like it had been sitting out 2 days and spoiled. The jalapeño sausage was the best thing I ate, but I can buy that from Costco and cook it myself. Overall I probably won’t be back unless someone else has a BBQ craving and needs a quick fix. Friendly service only goes so far when you consider the price of BBQ.

I went there at lunch, and oh boy let me tell you about it. I got a two meat plate and a drink that totaled up to $18. When I mentioned to the owner that “it seemed pricey, especially for lunch” he told me to go down the street and eat lunch at taco delight. What a turd. The funny thing is I actually did that, and that there were actually people inside of taco delight, unlike the overpriced barbecue joint. Don’t waste your time.

Stopped into Big Daddy’s on the way to Little Elm Beach today (which is right across the street) for a little something to eat. I ordered just a chopped Brisket sandwich and a soft drink. $8.00 and some change, which I felt was reasonable. OMG! It was AMAZING! Best I”ve ever had! It was juicy and flavorful and didn’t even need BBQ sauce, but I put a little on there any way. I might become addicted to this little delight every time I’m on my way to Little Elm Beach. Thought the restaurant was cute also, serves beer and wine. I must add, there was a sign that said free coffee today. The sign looked old, so they might give free coffee everyday!

Completely ridiculous. We decided to order dinner from here tonight. Not knowing it was going to waste our time. We placed our order online. Sent it to the store and waited 20 minutes then headed to go pick it up. I got to the store to pick up my order only to find out that my order hasn’t been started yet. The lady then tells me that’s they don’t have all the food that we ordered to complete my order. She was rude and upset with the fact that I placed this order so close to closing time. I placed the order at 7 and they closed at 9. In my eyes, you have one job and that’s to prepare food. We ended up having to cancel the order. They’re lose. Our order was over $100. We will take our money elsewhere and suggest y’all do the same. We won’t ever be back.

Fantastic BBQ and even better customer service! Pulled pork and brisket were very good, love that it’s a local place right down the road. Will definitely come again!
