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.

    We're regulars at Big Daddy's. The food and service were excellent as usual. We generally try to avoid nights with live music, but we were in the mood for Cajun, so how bad could it be? Well, pretty bad. The band (Coverstorm) was terrible; they had no conception of the size of the room they were playing (way too loud) and most selections were so muddy, you couldn't make out what they were playing. This was prime time on a Saturday night and there were a number of open tables (which never happens) and the bar area was not crowded. Typically that area is packed with people waiting to be seated and you almost have to struggle to make your way to the door. As I said, we're regulars and love the place, but we will not be going back when live music is advertised.

    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!
