  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    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.

    We have been going to this place for over 25 years and it was always fun and food amazing. Recently it has gone down hill. We had 8 oclock reervation and was seated at 9 with no apologies at all. The hostess’s all three of them were young dimwits who didnt know what was going on. Finally seated and were told they ran out of bread and two of the appetizers that we planned on ordering…Our dinners shrimp and grits and jambalaya both not up to par compared to how they used to be. The wine pour was half a small glass…we will not return for a long time until they get their act back together.. Not that we care but what happened to the band and beads at the end of the meal….especially during Mardi Gras week…
