The food menu is quite large. The chicken Caesar wrap was very tasty. The service was interesting. The steamed broccoli was fresh and perfectly prepared. May or may not return, but glad we tried it. read more

I came here with some friends on a Sunday and had the best time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked up as they were playing live music (I think this may be a regular thing) but the energy and vibes were on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a large patio (like most places in Soulard) and it has ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a bar inside for overflow.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While they do serve food, we missed the cutoff and just went with water and cocktails. They have a nice assortment of spirits (rum, vodka, gin, etc) with plenty of mixers to accompany it. I went with my usual Three Olives Grape and sprite and it came in a plastic cup, which you could keep. I def. like the convenience of it because you can reuse it instead of having to toss it. The bartenders were friendly and upbeat, which makes a difference when it comes to service and overall experience. I wish I could have tried the food, so hopefully I'll get there earlier next time. Aside from that, I had a great time and can't wait to return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome dive bar vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went there on a weekday afternoon. The lone bartender/server (Tara, maybe?) was excellent. Food menu had good variety and they had a full bar and good draft beer selection. I had draft beer and it was good - lines were clean and temps were good. Food was good relative to the cost and ambiance. If I was a local this would be one of my spots. read more

Great food and loved that big ass bucket of drink definitely hit the spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bartender was also our server so service was slow but it did give us more time to warm up and listen to the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Huge dog-friendly covered patio, shotgun bar and a more classy plus possible more private upstairs makes this local party bar still welcoming to the newly 21 year old crowd. (On this Sunday I was visiting a diaper party for a couple I knew... and of course there was a 21 year old birthday party that happened to show up) Bar food is offered with an occasional special menu written on the sign. The big draw is the covered patio, high definition TV, bar food and free bus rides to sporting events plus some concerts then DJs on the weekends... that I am far too old to enjoy. Now I feel like I am visiting an elementary school. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and great music![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The stuffed mushrooms were a great start and I followed up with "The Cadillac" steak sandwich! It was one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite a while. Shave beef on garlic bread with cheese, and I added grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. The au jus from the pan drippings....OMG!!!!. Sooooo good! read more

Went here for lunch during the workday - service was nice but veryyyyy slow... and they were not very busy at all... Chicken was cold in the Buffalo chicken wrap - not even room temp but cold... which was strange and not my favorite. The fries were great. I tried my friend's chips and those were very good! We didn't spend any time on the patio but I know people really enjoy time on the patio with drinks on a nice day! read more

I've asked for a manager since Friday and either the girls are lying to me or they really have no management there to keep things in order ! hospitality is TERRIBLE !!! been in the industry for YEARS and I have never ran into a more ignorant bartender than Dave ( if that's even his real name) ! I will be calling everyday :) can't wait till yall get a load of how your employees treat good paying customers ! read more

This is a nice bar to visit when in Soulard. We had mozzarella sticks and mini tacos and they were delicious. They didn't take long to come out either. There were 7 TVs in the inside bar area. There is a large outdoor seating area and also an enclosed outside heated area. read more

Went to Big Daddy's tonight to catch Mitch Fatel stand-up. Had the mini tacos and toasted rav's off the late night menu. Both were crispy and good. They have two areas that both serve food/drink. Upstairs they have entertainment - tonight comedy. Check out their calendar for up coming events. Off the beaten path, tucked into a side street in south city, andclose to Anheuser Busch brewery. read more

Cheeseburger pizza is so good and the cook brings it out and he's so friendly and proud of that pizza - we just loved it. Also loved the buffalo chicken wrap, and great service from the bartender, great pre-cardinal baseball afternoon! read more

Came here before a Cardinals game because they have a shuttle and it wasn't bad. The place is just a regular sports bar with good food. The service was a bit slow but I think they were short staffed that day but the bartender/ waitress was nice. They have a decent size inside section and a pretty big patio. When it came time to start getting ready to get on the shuttle the driver walked around and asked people if they were getting on. I liked this and the driver was very friendly. This is a good place to come before sports games because of the shuttle and they have good food. read more

Always a great spot to meet up with friends! Food is delicious and service is always great!

Mardi Gras weekend 2021 was definitely very different in Soulard. Not only did COVID keep crowds away, but frigid temperatures kept party goers in-doors. It was sad to walk past Big Daddy's which is typically a Grand Parade Day hot spot and not hear the typical Mardi Gras merriment. So to honor the legacy of this Soulard staple... here's a review reminiscing of warmer temps and colder beers. Big Daddy's lovingly refers to itself as "The Best Bar In The Whole Wide World," and while I suspect mass voter fraud in said poll, they offer the neighborhood a great atmosphere to blow off steam. Since moving to the neighborhood, I've gone to Big Daddy's many times for lunch, happy hour and even dinner. The menu has many creative takes on pub fare. My go to when ordering lunch from Big Daddy's is The Angry Daddy, a burger smothered in buffalo sauce and topped with fiery fried jalapenos. It has just enough kick to make a typically boring burger into something extraordinary! In a COVID-world, Big Daddy's offers a massive outdoor space that is well shaded by trees. It's a lovely space to enjoy a bucket or two! And while I have never used the service, Big Daddy's offers a shuttle to and from sporting events in Downtown. Pretty awesome idea! Save on parking and stay safe. read more

In Soulard for the first time. We googled places to check out for drinks, good bar food and to watch some football. We had a blast. Ended up there for about 5hrs. It was the Friday after Thanksgiving, so it was not very busy when we arrived at noon. We ate several different appetizers. The toasted ravioli was good. The bartender, Anna, recommended the stuffed mushrooms. They were the best stuffed mushrooms we've ever had. The andouille sausage in them have them a tiny kick but a ton of flavor. 10/10 would recommend. We also had the wings with the sriracha teriyaki sauce. They were bomb as well. Crunchy. The flavor of the sauce was fantastic! Can't wait to try and duplicate at home. The famous garlic bread was also great! Didn't get a picture of the wings or garlic bread... we were too focused on eating them. The staff was very nice. We drank there for a long time and they were slow, so we had some good conversations with them. Anna made of several new shots to try. And we played around with the shot wheel again. I live in Minnesota, but next time I come back to visit my friend, we will definitely be back! read more

Big Daddy's Soulard - Nice on the sauce wings awsome - American Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

First time getting delivery. Ordered the chicken quesadilla, grown up grilled cheese, and broccoli. Decent bar food and order was prepared in timely fashion. I Liked that the grilled cheese is upgraded with tomato and onion. Con: Styrofoam for all to go containers. They did not include plastic utensils, per my request, which was appreciated. read more

I came here for lunch on a Monday around noon before I was going to do a brewery tour at Anheuser-Busch a few blocks away. So not the best day/time to get a good feel for the vibe of a place but the interior seemed ok and they have a nice patio that looked like it would be well-shaded in peak sunlight times. My waitress at the bar was pleasant and someone who I took to be a manager also asked several times if I needed anything and thanked me for coming as I left. The menu seems decent enough that most will find something to eat and the drinks menu was very reasonably priced. I'd come here again if in St. Louis and the Soulard area. read more

We got the spicy shrimp taco and our shrimp was bad. Upon telling the guy we ordered from he threw it in the trash and expected us to leave. 0/10 on service and food. read more

Dezi makes the best Bloody Marys ever. Ask for spicy and the added bacon is amazing. Bartender with the best smile as well!!

I've been here a couple times and the best thing about this place is the food. The chicken wings I've had are really good and I recently had a sandwich (I think it was a Big Daddy's out something) & it was delicious. The beer choices though are terrible (hence the 3-star rating), unless you only drink A-B products as that's all they carry. This is due to an agreement the owner made with the brewery years ago....I have no idea as to why the owner still honors it as A-B isn't a hometown company anymore since being bought by conglomerate InBev. I'll come here for food but if it comes to drinks, I prefer other places as I prefer places that have a variety of different beers from multiple breweries, not just 1. read more

Super solid spot! Wanna drink before a game? Big Daddy's. Wanna drink during a game? Big Daddy's. Wanna get a ride TO the game? Big Daddy's. Catch my drift? This particular location (there are more than one) is in Soulard, and offers a free shuttle to customers to/from games starting about an hour before and leaving until an hour after. (They do stop running from Inning 1 through the top of the 8th). Really great bar food: burgers, pizzas, wings, nachos etc. You can't go wrong with a cold beer here too. Pro-tip: they've been on Groupon here and there as well, but make sure you purchase for the right location :) I'm sure they get even more crowded on sunnier and weekend days. They're also a stone throw to the Budweiser factory, so if you ever have to wait for a table, just meander down the street too for a cold one! read more

My first time coming here was during the St. Patrick's Day bar crawl, for the 'after party' and probably won't be back. Nice bar with a sports bar vibe. However....The communication with staff was so disconnected between up and downstairs. My friends and I ordered drinks at the bar downstairs, before going up to get a table to sit. It was roughly 9:30 when we asked the bartender if we could order food still, she said yes no issue. An hour goes by and we're still waiting. When my friend approaches the bar inquiring about our order, she's told they closed down the kitchen early, and she just found out. Interesting to be hosting an after party, and close the kitchen down, but whatever. We ask for a refund. Waited over 45 minutes for someone to come up. I went to talk to the guy who was supposed to issue the refund, only for him to walk around me and go talk to my friend. So we're all going back and forth cause we paid cash, and wait for him to look up our receipt. He asks me for the total, I'm attempting to tell him the total, only to be cut off and be given some other total. Rude as hell. Honestly most of the bars I went to during the bar crawl in Soulard were rude. read more

Gave a baby shower Feb 17, which included 50-60 couples, friends and family through out the day. Ordered several food items off buffet menu plus soda/ tea beverages from bar. Food was GREAT (Lil corn dogs, Ravioli's, Mozzarella sticks and Cadillac sliders), food trays didn't go empty, thanks Chris and Avery. Top floor was blocked for our private event. Gave us ample time to decorate, had chairs and tables for our guests to sit plus seating at the bar. Some extra tables also for food items brought in from family. We used DJ area for gifts and good size room attached to bar for more seating and photo opts. Great atmosphere and upstairs bar is gorgeous! Thanks also to Tara who we stayed in touch with from beginning to end and also bartended for event! Need a venue....check out Big Daddy's Soulard! read more

Great place to have a drink or two before the Cardinal's game and then take the FREE shuttle to the game! Safe area to park on the street outside of the bar. And the shuttle drop off/pickup location is right outside of the stadium at Spruce St & S Broadway Ave. Super friendly bus driver & you can bring your drinks from the bar onto the bus! Will be doing this again for Cards games read more

Awful. Waitress brought drinks and then never returned. As if our table of 4 was invisible. Never brought menus or even asked if we were eating. I finally - after 30+ minutes- went to the bar to pay our tab. Same waitress said, "Well I told you that the menu was on line." "No you did not...and I was paying attention." My table mates confirmed. "You must have misheard." I'm thinking... MISHEARD??? Something you never said?? Not ever returning here. TERRIBLE service. Loud metal music. Annoying and rude waitress. read more

Covid had been tough on everyone, but Big Daddy's had handled it worse than most. The entire inside is closed, and the staff has gone from a real asset to surly and angsty. Bad attitudes all around. No longer a chill place to hang out, which was really its only calling card. Sad! read more

So pleasantly surprised with this place. See the photos. There is a Turkey Dip, which is like a French dip only w/ turkey au jus....O.M.G. How unique is that sandwich and, with a nod of approval from the super awesome and friendly server/bartender, I did indeed order that turkey dip sandwich, which totally lived up to its name. The wings we had as an appetizer were meaty and had a good amount of sauce on them. No complaints. read more
