Great food...great staff. They give very nice portions. The food never disappoints. The inspection score was mid 80s..i would like to.see that number improved. read more

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. This place is HORRIBLE. My husband and I had 2 separate meals and EVERYTHING was nasty. Apparently the only seasoning they have is. SALT. The chicken was dry and tough and even slimy. the macaroni and cheese tasted like it was powdered and had an AWFUL after-taste. The pork chops - oh my God- tough as shoe leather. Completely indigestible fit only for a pit bull. And how do you screw up corn.? And the dressing.....Lawd Have mercy.....I literally threw it up!!! I would not feed this food to my puppy. STAY AWAY FROM-BIG DADDY's KITCHEN ON CANDLER ROAD!!!!! If you are looking for DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND FOOD POISONING, then have at. And BTW, I noticed the health score was lowww after my purchase. Jesus help me! read more

Nothing was fresh.. and the women working on the line looked really messy in their uniforms. Disappointed. Maybe it's the location.

I had the jerked Turkey wing, collard greens, candied yams, rice and cornbread....this was some damn good food!

Stopped here on the way from the airport with my guy friend....he ordered beef tips and sides of which he devoured before I could taste any...I ordered the 3 jumbo wings, Mac & cheese and yams..... the wait wasn't long....the wings were "HUGE" lol and were seasoned well...the Mac and cheese was yummy, cheesy didn't taste "baked" though and the yams were yams ...maybe canned....didn't blow my mind. I'd go back though maybe to try the salmon read more

I HAD to choose a star, so 1 star was in the least bit rewarding according to my experience. The gentleman who took my order was SUPER RUDE! I moved to Georgia in hopes to find a good soul food place to add to my great move so far. Big Daddy's was NOT a part of my great experiences. After dragging past the rude drunk looking employee who took my order; I asked the cashier, "Why is everyone so mean?" I told him I try to support Black Businesses and it's disheartening that you are greeted like you are bothering him. The cashier was very nice and apologized for his rude ass employee!! The food was HORRIBLE! The fried chicken was FULL OF FEATHERS!!! Which in turn (to me) means the chicken was not cleaned well. I was thoroughly disappointed! Greens tasted like vinegar, the mac n cheese tasted like plain noodles.....no seasoning. Its sad that the best food experience we've had since we've been here is a White owned business....everything was on point there. Smh THIS experience is why they say, "Black Lives DONT matter!!!" We need to know better/be better and we'll be able to DO BETTER! Ughhhhhhhh read more

I stop in there at least once a month. The food is good! Pork chops, Mac and cheese, greens, corn bread and a side of sweet potatoes is my usual but I've had other stuff too. Yummy! read more

Big Daddy's Kitchen - Mac and cheese and greens...I had already eaten the chop and corn bread - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

It's a no for me. We love Soul food but this was just no. First they were so so rude and Second they didn't even have fried chicken. Like what? That's basically all that's on the menu and they didn't have any. The baked chicken we got was so over cooked and greasy as hell. The cornbread dressing was disgusting but the steamed cabbage was great. I'm never going here again. Service is awful and so is the food. It's all expensive for nothing read more

Generous portions and a lot of choices. I got the meatloaf, greens, and macaroni with corn bread. The meatloaf was ok. The greens honestly tasted and looked like Old Glory canned collards. Wasn't a fan of the macaroni either. The flavored lemonades were so good! The staff was also very friendly and they were doing a good job with social distancing. I probably won't eat here again. read more

Good soul food at a reasonable price. Cafeteria style and i always get my food to go. Staff is typically nice, and it's a go to when I want a balanced meal without cooking. Mac and cheese is good also which usually hard to find at a restaurant. My favorite meal is the veggie plate. The one downside is this location is not open on Sundays which I found out the hard way. read more

Big Daddy's Kitchen - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been going to Big Daddy's for 20 years and I've given them the benefit of the doubt for the past 3 years. Today the food was not good. The variety of veggies was depleted by 4 o'clock and the dressing tastes like Stove Top. I will not be coming back to this location. The one on Cascade is the gold standard. read more

Awesome place! I came here with a group of people not knowing what to expect, and it was amazing to say the least!

The was the best soul food I had in a long time,everything was delicious and plenty the bag was so heavy had to carry it with 2 hands (2 plates) definitely will be going back read more

Big Daddy's Kitchen - Beef tip /rice, mac&cheese,collards and cornbread !!delicious!! - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Horrible as a caterer!! Placed an order a week in advance for Thanksgiving. Went to pick up; had to wait 2 2/12 hrs. No type of organization, people waiting hours just to pick up orders but yet they were still taking orders then same day of pick up!!! That being said how about the dressing wasn't done, the gravy was like water and the lemon pound cake was stale as hell!!! Never ever again will, they cater anything for me. Service was horrible and the food was horrible as well. As far as a rate...NO STARS!!! read more

Love big daddy's on campbellton this one though very much closer to home always fails my expectations. Found hair in my cornbread, food is cold or under seasoned, and the restaurant lacks the welcoming feel of its other location. read more

You can not go wrong with Big Daddy they food is fantastic and they staff is good to customers I will recommend any to eat here

So when I visit Atlanta, Big Daddy kitchen is where I eat. No diet food, just good home cooking and plenty of it. Today I had greens, baked turkey wings which is served with dressing or rice and cornbread and sweet potatoes. Desserts are rich homemade cakes and cobblers. Yummy with left overs read more

I had fried chicken, mac & cheese, and greens. The chicken and greens were good. I was disappointed because the server didn't give me any of the crust on the top of the mac&cheese, so it didn't taste baked at all. Tasted like they stove top made it then sprinkled cheese on top to bake. No evidence of eggs or baking the old school way. The server had no smile and seemed like she hated her job. The cashier made up for the server. She was nice, politely asked if I was a mom and wished me happy mom's day. I will be back. It's convenient--get in, get out. Tons of food to choose from so on to the next dish! read more

This location serves really good food. I visited on a weekday during lunch. The service was quick and efficient. Let me just say that the portion sizes are huge! I mean huge!!!!! The prices are great. I got the beef tips over white rice, macaroni and cheese, yams, and cornbread. All of the items were tasty! I would definitely recommend it to others and visit again. read more

Love the food here! I gave him 2 stars because of the lady who works the cash register. Not only is she rude, but she insists on taking money and touching the sanitary paper on my food with the same hands. Her attitude is offensive and unnecessary. Because of her I won't be eating here again. read more

Big daddy's kitchen is awesome. Been there many times and my go to is the fried chicken livers. They're great! Everything in the restaurant looks great and it is all well priced. If you want some good authentic soul food Big Daddies Kitchen is your place. read more

Oh my God, this food was so good. I visited this restaurant for my FIRST TIME while on a trip to ATL. My cousin lives out in Decatur, so she recommended that I try this place. When I came in, my party was immediately greeted by each and every one who serviced us. I got the Lunch special which comes with a meat and two sides. I chose chicken wings (they were well seasoned and one of the best I've ever had), cabbage and macaroni and cheese. I also got a piece of cornbread. The lemonade I had was very good. I also tried their broccoli and rice casserole from my friend who got it, it was pretty good and I also tried the fried okra (bangin!) and the pot roast that I tried from my cousin (soooo good!) When I come back to Decatur, I'm making this my first stop! read more

The food and does not taste like it came out of a discount cafeteria. Love the wings both chicken and turkey. I hear the smothered Pork Chops are outstanding. The line moves quickly and the staff is pleasant and takes the time to answer questions. read more

The mac was dry, and the oxtail were like a brick, last my chicken wings were cold. Not like them at all.

I just moved to the area and had to try this place. I was shocked when I walked in and seen all the food selections. Everything was very fresh and they continued to bring out more food as I was there waiting. I had the beef tips with yellow rice, Mac & cheese, and black eyed peas. It tasted like grandma's Sunday dinner. The staff was very kind and the portion sizes are definitely worth the price. I've tried a couple places and so far this is my favorite. I highly recommend! read more

I've been there twice about a year ago or so. The food was a bit overpriced. It looked good BUT the first time I wasn't impressed. I had black eyed peas as one of my sides and they tasted like they were drenched in alot of salt. No exaggeration. Everything else I had with the meal was just ok but not worth the money. The cornbread was crumbly. I , however decided to give them a second chance several weeks later. Again, crumbly cornbread and just dissatisfied with the meal, just as the first time. So I never went back and dont plan on going back. I give them one star and that's only because I can't cook. I mean, some places don't even deserve a star or half of a star. One star for big daddy. read more

I've been here once, over a year ago, and the food is EXCELLENT. I remember ordering the catfish, sweet potatoes, cornbread and rutabagas. AWESOME!! I would definitely go back again! read more

OK! WHO COOK AND BAKED THAT AWESOME TASTING FOOD? "BIG DADDY KITCHEN ON CANDLER ROAD" "THEY ALSO TAKE YOUR ORDER AT YOUR CAR IF YOU ARE IN A WHEELCHAIR" Read this Testimony with care: My dad is a new amputee and he love oxtails. However, it is very hard to find a restaurant that know how to make a perfect tasting oxtail. So in the meanwhile we cook oxtails ourselves at home. Oh but check this testimony out: I was calling different restaurants to see who had oxtails on Friday. I contacted Big Daddy Kitchen on Candler Road and spoke with a man name Mr. Jesse. I told Mr. Jesse we were looking for oxtails for my dad and I asked if Big Daddy had oxtails. Mr. Jesse let me know that Big Daddy Kitchen have oxtails daily with a discount on Thursdays. LET ME EXPRESS TO YOU ALL: The "Big" in Big Daddy Kitchen must mean Big on Taste! The Food was Delicious through and through. Wow! The staff were patient, kind and courteous. Now check out an amazing customer service testimony: A woman in a wheelchair came to Big Daddy Café for Supper. How about one of the servers went out to her car, took her order and brought her supper back to her car. That brought tears of joy to your eyes to see that kind of Awesome Customer Service. This was our first visit but it won't be our last. Thanks to Mr. Jesse, Mr. Maceo, Mr. Sam, Mr. Jason and Mr. Mark. These men deserve much honor and respect for going above and beyond to give their new and old customers top quality service. Thank you Jesus for an amazing first time experience with an amazing restaurant that truly care for their customer. Especially those that are in a wheelchair. read more

First time there no menu no prices.Ribs and Broccoli casserole were tough as hell.Will not be going back ,over price.

Stopped in for lunch. Got some tasty ribs and collard greens. Great if you want some authentic southern cooking

Omg !!! I've been living across the street from this place for 3 years and sadly my first time trying them was about 4 months ago. Best decision I made for food in awhile. I love the Mac & cheese and broccoli casserole. This place is clean, great hospitality and good good food. And yes it's an all black staff and I believe black owned..don't quote me though. Besides that it's a great pace to dine in or to go fast, precise and sweet. I love it and I'm so sad I will be leaving the area soon. It is lacking a restroom & may I add if you guys acquired a liquor license I believe this place would be even better. Keep up the good work. read more
