    Pulled Pork, Rice Pilaf and Corn Souffle
    Danny P.

    I had a wonderful hike. Here's something special, I'm actually in upstate NY. I had to end the day with BBQ. I ordered Pulled Pork, Rice Pilaf and Corn Soufflé from Big Daddy's Home Plate in Haverstraw.

    Brisket, yams, mac and cheese & cornbread.

    My expectations have been pretty tempered since I started investigating the northern Rockland County food scene, but this was a decent find. I stopped by to grab some takeout last week after developing a BBQ hankering. The one big caveat I'd give to anyone who's not familiar with the location - the parking situation is ROUGH. I had to do a U-turn and then probably ended up parking illegally by Big Daddy's kitchen off to the side (which I felt like I could get away with since I was just running in and out). If I were them, I'd include very specific information on their website concerning where to park. I would guess the easiest/best place would be the parking lot for a different business on the side closest to 202 going west, especially since there was a Big Daddy's van in that lot, but be aware that the parking lot directly behind the restaurant is covered in no parking signs and seems to be for the exclusive use of tenants in a different building. I opted for the brisket combo ($29), which came with two (2) sides and a piece of cornbread. It's a little pricey, especially for the area, but I feel you're always paying for the BBQ prep with this kind of food. The piece of cornbread it comes with is pretty small - I think they could afford to make that a bit bigger, but I thought the other sides were pretty generous, as was the portion of brisket. Also, there were definitely some cheaper sandwich options that were less than half this price, so you could opt for something less stressful on the wallet if needed. Worth noting as well - it was a pleasant surprise to discover that some free brisket chili had been thrown into the bag. Very nice touch. I didn't end up sampling it, but it was a much appreciated gesture. The brisket was decent - tender and flavorful. There were a few pieces that were fattier than I would have preferred but overall, this was solid. Honestly, most of the time that I end up getting brisket there are two or three bites that are completely inedible, and that wasn't the case here. I also liked the BBQ sauce, which was on the sweeter side. The yams were good, though not great - I feel like texture is super important with yams, and these seemed like they needed to be cooked a bit more; I never see this term used for anything non-pasta, but it was slightly too al dente for me. Excellent taste though. The mac and cheese was great, probably the best of what I sampled. Wonderful consistency and taste. The weakest performer unfortunately was the cornbread. Not only is it a noticeably smaller portion as mentioned (and part of that could be the packaging - it's by itself in a Styrofoam container and looks even tinier) but it was also dry and crumbly. For me, the BBQ stars of the show need to be the meat and the mac and cheese. That was the case here, and the customer service (admittedly minimal due to this meal being takeout) was top notch. Definitely stopping by again, and this time I suspect I'll have an easier time parking with some much-needed experience now under my belt.

    Will wake up for Big Daddy!

    We found Big Daddy's quite by accident! Driving home from picking up my daughter in Brooklyn I said I knew a shortcut. Turns out...I did not! In my quest to get back on track we came found Big Daddy's Home Plate BBQ on Yelp! I can only say that the friendliness when you walk in the door in refreshing! We felt like we just stopped at a friends house for BBQ! From the Mac and Cheese, Beef Brisket, Pulled Chicken, Cole Slaw, Corn Bread, Baked Beans to the Peach Crisp for dessert we barely even spoke to each other. I think I grunted once when I wanted my daughter to pass the corn bread! There was a whole lot of finger licking, mmm mmm's and this is so good going around! If you are ever in the Haverstraw area or just want to take a nice ride. Big Daddy's will be your new favorite place for down home cooking and a backyard vibe! I wanted to hug Big Daddy but my husband said that would be too much!!

    Brisket rib combo

    Outstanding BBQ place located just off the side of the road. Meats were flavorful and good portions and service was very good. Highly recommend the rib and brisket combo. Tables inside to eat and has an overall nice hometown vibe.

    BBQ Pulled Chicken and Spare Ribs Combo

    Placed an order for pickup. Ordered the combo platter: bbq pulled chicken and ribs with side order of Mac and cheese and corn fritters. The food was OK. Not the best BBQ I've ever had, but not the worst. The bbq sauce was a little too sweet and tangy for my liking and it was drenched on the meat. The Mac was more creamy than cheesy. The corn fritters were good and crunchy. I would try this place again. So for now 3 stars...will update after next visit.

    The owners son (sorry, I forgot his name) was kind enough to take this picture of us in front of the restaurant. Thanks again!

    My friends and I were in the area checking out Letchworth Village and we decided to have dinner before making the drive back to the City. I ordered the brisket and ribs with collard greens and mac & cheese with a side of corn bread. Yum!!! Portions were good and the cost of the plate was $29. Not bad. The location is a small hole in the wall of sorts but they do have some tables for eating in which we did. The owner and the owners son were super nice and accommodating. Not only would I recommend coming here but we would definitely be coming back.

    I am glad I ran into this restaurant, totally by default. A friend and I ended up in these neck of the woods trying to go to an appointment at the DMV. Eventually got hungry and was on a scavenger for some food lol. As walking in through the door, we were greeted by Chris. He was very nice and polite. We asked what he would recommend and so forth. We were very much pleased with the hospitality and the food. Everything tasted fresh and just made. I would highly recommend. Thank you Chris ! We will be back. PS their fried buttermilk chicken is awesome tooooo

    This is the holy grail soul food restaurant that will make anyone go off their diet. No more skinny diet, vegan diet, paleo diet, keto diet, whatever diet... the food here is just too good for you not to drive up the mountains to what most people would call "upstate NY" but it is only a 1hr to 1.5 hour drive from the city. You're not totally in the middle-of-nowhere-mountains but there is one bar of cell phone signal usually in the area. The corn fritters are the best I've tried and they are really hard to make at home. Imagine sweet corn with a sugar gravy coating fried to perfection with a corn bread coating. This is the second time I came back because the corn fritters are that good. The BBQ meats are also great. The pulled pork has sweet BBQ sauce and it was devoured in less than 15 minutes. The beef brisket was a little too oily but it was so tender with a savory tomato sauce over it. My order was ready in 20 minutes after calling in with the number. You cannot make an order at the restaurant. Other patrons were also waiting in the parking lot next to the establishment so call to order thirty minutes before you arrive.

    came here for a quick lunch. it's a cafeteria feeling when you walk in. very loud and open. paper…read morenapkins and plastic dishes. but the fish is great. all fish is super fresh and very good prices.

    Pomona, NY - Gilligan's is one of our go-to restaurants for family dinner, especially when I'm in…read morethe mood for seafood & tropical vibes. We haven't been here in a while so I was glad to see this place hoppin' on a Saturday night. Luckily the wait wasn't long, less than 10 min. As we are now into the months with an "R" in the name, I was sooo psyched that IPSWICH WHOLE BELLY CLAMS are back! They are only in season during the colder months and aren't usually found in restaurants around these parts, but Gilligan's has them on the menu so I always impatiently wait for them to be available. They are gently fried and were fresh and plump, as were the mussels I also had this evening. I went for my usual LOBSTER FOR ONE which rests atop a mound of mussels & clams, while my family ordered fish dishes topped with other seafood, and all were delicious and fresh. The Maine lobster was cooked perfectly and very tender. Fluffy, crusty, freshly baked warm bread is always served at the table. Read my previous review for more details as it was pretty thorough, but worth mentioning again that they have a large and diverse menu so the seafood-averse can also feast on brick oven pizza, pasta, steak & ribs, chicken, salads, burgers & sandwiches. But the seafood is the highlight and what I come here for. We also pick up their excellent and bountiful Tuesday carry-out specials on a regular basis and it literally feeds my family for days. What's more, prices are still very reasonable even after all these years! Staff are nice and accommodating. We always love it here.
