About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
Big Daddy’s Restaurant located in Massapequa, NY opened in 1993, specializing in the foods of New Orleans, Cajun, Creole and South. Often imitated, but never duplicated, Big Daddy’s remains the “Original Home of Southern Food & Moonshine.” The atmosphere is fun, casual and colorful which you will know as soon as you enter. The newly renovated bar features Louisiana swamp cypress and old time brick. Portions are big and so are the Hurricanes.

    While we LOVE Bug Daddy’s and it’s a frequent stop in our rotation last night perhaps just wasn’t their night. Our reservation was specifically noted that it was a birthday, for both my wife and son. They were born the same day!! We also let the hostess know. Nothing was said nor done by the staff or waitress, sadly. We were not looking for free meals or desserts, just a candle or perhaps a mention while we ordered dessert. Asking constantly for refills of water, soft drinks etc becomes annoying. Food last night was subpar, which is very unusual for Big Daddy’s. Something was just off. Yes it was Saturday night. Staff was super busy but that, in my opinion, still doesn’t excuse lax service. Of course, we still love them, but we hope this trend doesn’t continue!

    The only complaint is that Seafood Etoufee should be over white rice and not butter grits, and the crawfish was frozen, not fresh.

    Parking is difficult to find. The noise level was terrible. The food was good but poorly presented. And what’s with a service charge in top of a tip in top of a charge for using a credit card? I won’t be back.
