The Original Big Daddy's Dish offers hearty soul food with generous portions at affordable prices. The menu includes a variety of meats like pork chops, turkey wings, and beef, along with options such as chicken dressing, rice, mashed potatoes, and other vegetables. The food is flavorful and fresh, with many guests praising the fried chicken breast made to order, which pairs well with turnip greens and mac and cheese. The cornbread is noted for being a little sweet and very good. Customers also enjoy tasty desserts like banana pudding, cobblers, cakes, and cookies, adding a sweet ending to their meals.
Although some find the prices a bit high, the large portions, such as pulled turkey served with rice underneath, make it worthwhile. The restaurant has a pretty good system even during busy Sunday afternoons after church. Visitors can enjoy an ice cold soda, southern sweet tea, or specialty lemonades and Kool-Aids. The friendly staff makes guests feel at home, and the place is family-friendly, offering dine-in and takeout options with handicapped accessibility.
Great customer service is a highlight, with the owner sometimes ensuring that food is served fresh and hot, even fixing delivery issues when needed. Some customers mention the atmosphere can be chaotic at times, with staff arguing in front of guests, which is not ideal, but overall, the restaurant remains a favorite for good food, service, and cleanliness. Many guests look forward to returning for their favorite dishes, like turkey wings and rutabagas.
