“I usually never have any trouble having trouble with Smithfield getting my food wrong at the drive through window but I got my food I had ordered a chicken breast and BBQ and fries. What I got on my plate was BBQ wings fries and hush puppies. I went back to sit this on the counter. Told them this is not what I ordered. Tht said since I shoved it to the girl at the counter she responded tht since I didn't have a receipt there was nothing that they could do. I said if I don't get another plate there was going to be trouble. She called her manager. They treated me with hostile attitudes and I didn't appreciate the attitude and I told them I don't have to come in here. I got my food and left. So be careful ordering, people don't listen.“
“A fried seafood and barbecue place where you come in, place your order and pay at the counter, and seat yourself indoors or out. The food was served on a tray, and condiments and drinks are self serve at the counter. Our seafood was ok, portions were plentiful. The homemade banana pudding dessert was a disappointment, not a banana to be found. We didn’t try the barbecue and smoked meats but they smelled wonderful. Pupper friendly outside.“
“Service is always friendly and prompt. Customer base feels like a lot of locals but it is a good mix of people. Great wings. Nice place to have a beer too. It can be busy at times but they handle it. I've been here a dozen times and I have never had a bad experience.“
“Excellent service, Vanessa is a Rockstar! Steak was cooked perfectly and they had a couple of IPAs on tap. Pernicious IPA was delicious, just wish they would serve it in a tall glass as it's $9 ? I do not recommend the butter, it's made with margarine.Kid-friendliness: Kid's steak!“
“Love the wings and the specials that they offer for them. Just one request: please update the days that you offer your $11 Jumbo wings special. Drove almost 40 mins away on a Sunday only to find out that it's been changed and is only offered on Mon & Tues when the menu on website still shows Sun/Mon/Tues. Ended up having to buy wings with 1 side meal.“
“Although Daddy D's has been around for years, we never managed to stop by for a variety of reasons. As an aside, I was aware that in the beginning, Danny's BBQ of Cary, provided assistance to Daddy D's in the beginning to get up and rolling. We always loved Danny's which featured a Texas/Florida style of smoked barbecue. At that time (1990's and early 2000's), the predominant (perhaps only) BBQ style in this area was the eastern NC vinegar-based variety. So, it didn't take long for Danny's to began spreading the word that other styles of BBQ were as good or better (subjective, I know). It was around 3 PM on a Tuesday when we happened to drive past Daddy D's, and we finally decided to stop in, and I'm glad we did. First of all, our family have really grown to favor the Texas/Florida/Kansas City/Tennessee styles of BBQ. We just personally never grew fond of the vinegar-based Eastern Carolina style of BBQ, but that's subjective of course. Well, Daddy D's has both, with their main focus being on the former. Their menu shows some Eastern-style BBQ offerings, so they cater to everyone. They were still serving lunch when we came - and by the way - they give a 10% military/law enforcement discount, which is nice. I wound up ordering the Burnt Ends platter, and you get two sides - I chose the baked beans and coleslaw. Along with that, we ordered a separate 1/2 lb of pulled pork so all of us could dig into that if we were still hungry. My wife ordered a brisket sandwich, and my son had their steak sandwich offering - but theirs was made from brisket. The interior of the restaurant has a nice barbecue vibe to it - lots of wood. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating, and the overall vibe was inviting. My burnt ends platter was absolutely scrumptuous. The meat was super tender - like butter, and I also love what they do with their baked beans. They add a bit of vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, some pork bits, etc. The beans had a slightly tangy taste, but boy were they good. Coleslaw was just as we prefer ours - that is, finely chopped. Needless to say, I devoured my Burnt Ends platter. And for lunch, the portions were just right - enough to fill you up, to be sure. Now as for the pulled pork, we were a little disappointed. You see, they served us the pork that must have been sitting out all day in their kitchen warmer, and it was totally dried out. It looked as if they left it out all day in the kitchen. We had to add barbecue sauce to get some moisture in there, and when we did, it tasted fairly good. We can only imagine how it would taste after first being made. My recommendation would be to come during normal lunch-time hours if you are going to order the pulled pork. My wife and son enjoyed their meals to be sure. So, the bottom line is that we were looking for a barbecue place like this because Fuquay-Varina is sorely lacking of BBQ restaurants. I wish a "City Barbecue" chain would come to Fuquay as they have some excellent offerings. But right now, as far as BBQ establishments go, Daddy D's is it (for both Fuquay and Varina), unless there is something else that we're not aware of. Will we come back? Why yes we will (looking forward to it), and other than the dried-out pulled pork - which I can't imagine they would serve like that every day - their menu offers quite a bit of variety that should please most folks. We're only giving it 4 stars because of the dried-out pork. But everything else was perfect! I can change my review the next time we go and try to order the pulled pork again. If all is well then, changing it to 5 stars will be easy to do. Looks like we found our local BBQ home.“
