Yummy! Everything was really good! We would definitely come here aging! We both ordered the pulled pork meal. The meat could have been warned up a bit more, still tasted great! The chili cheese fries were hot and fresh! The baked beans were more like pork and beans with onions and peppers, lots of good flavors. Our waitress was supper friendly and took good care of us! The boss lady was out of town and the crew was still doing fantastic! Good job Big Daddy’s!

Quiet. Came in early on a Saturday 3Pm. Drove from Tulsa to try the calf fries, was not disappointed. Traci was our waitress, she was attentive and polite. The calf fries were cooked to perfection. None burnt, not too much bread. The wife had the grilled shrimp po boy, shrimp is fresh! Definitely worth the drive where ever you're coming from :) The cooks today were: Richard and Kaylee!! Thanks for a great dinner!!

Hubs and I shared a chicken fried steak “dinner” for lunch…great flavor, one of the best we’ve had. Fries and homemade coleslaw were good too, flavorful sauce on the slaw not runny. Took a blackberry cobbler home for later that was delish! Not too sweet with chunks of blackberries. Would definitely eat here again. Friendly staff, quick service on a Sunday in late April.

A group of six of us had dinner this evening. Four of us had thre catfish dinner and the others had other dinners. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We will definitely go again.
