    I have only eaten from here once and I got take-out, so I can't speak to the dining room experience. BUT, the folks eating seemed to be locals who obviously knew each other. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The lady working the counter was very friendly, and the kitchen staff waved out to me and said Thanks. Very friendly place. The restaurant was small but didn't feel crowded. It was clean and didn't smell or anything. I didn't see anything that would keep me from dining in. The food was decent but not fantastic. No complaints there. Their menu has a lot of simple, comfort food items. However, two things on the menu caught my attention. I love both of them and they can be difficult to find. Steak fingers and fried chicken gizzards! Big Daddy's has both and they did not disappoint. Very tasty. I would eat here again based on the strength of these two items alone. Check them out. I will definitely go back. Maybe I'll even dine in!

    Stopped because of the reviews and still close to gulf for seafood. Good food for the price.

    Philly cheese steak

    The food was excellent, and the service was even better. Our Philly cheesesteak and burger were cooked to perfection. The cashier's thoughtful gesture of giving all the children in our group free cookies was greatly appreciated. We will certainly make a point of stopping by again every time we visit Galveston. 10/10

    This was an amazing find along my way to the beach! I came in and immediately wanted fried shrimp. The combo is $13.99 and comes with fries, and a drink and 12 hot and well seasoned fried shrimp. Everything was hot & fresh and by the time I left, all the tables inside were filled with people. The shrimp were piping hot and tasted amazing with the seasoning! I'll have to swing by here for another stop on my trips! I got a $2 discount for something, but then gave it right back in a tip. Total for everything pictured and a Dr. Pepper (also got a to go Dr. Pepper) was $15. 100% recommended!

    Grilled shrimp with hushpuppies

    Friendly server and cook. I liked my grilled shrimp but he wasn't crazy about the fried shrimp. The batter was very light but it tasted plain. The hand-cut and -battered onion rings were good but needed some salt. The hushpuppies were very good but they were stingy with the butter especially the refill. We were offered unlimited refills of tea and lemonade which was very nice. Overall a good local place, just what we were looking for.

    Food was made to order. Hamburgers were real beef. Fries were very good. Lots of options. Milk shakes were lack luster for the price but otherwise I would definitely eat here again.

I actually came around 7:45pm on a Friday night. Big store's pizza place just closed so I had to find an alternative. Becareful on the drive in, the driveway is full of huge potholes. Ordered a Hawaiian pizza, it's what I always do because my daughter loves pineapples. The lady said 20 mins. Ok cool no problem. I sat in my car as it was pretty chilly outside with the gusting wind. As I say I noticed the food truck with the fire wood oven and thought it was cool and his pizza has got to be good. We waited and as more customers came in they all picked up their orders while we continued to wait. She said another 15 mins so sure no big deal. We waited and watched as more customers came in after us ordering and got their food and left. Checked back in and she asked for another 5 mins. As I waited with other customers outside you can hear the staff arguing out loud. After nearly an hour later I finally got my pizza. Came home and we had it and I dunno where to start. I don't need it to be loaded with ingredients but this was like a thick pan pizza with tons of cheese and some pineapples and little pieces of ham. Sauce was good but maybe too much, but with only 2 toppings I would expect this pizza to be nice and crispy and not a soggy cheese pizza. It just wasn't appetizing. My wife decided to skip dinner after looking at it and I was stuck having to hear about having pizza again the next time.

The location is great being right off the bay (my…read morehusband fished while we waited for our food) , there's a nice deck, pool table, fire pit & quiet tunes playing. The service was 5 stars and the main reason for me settling on a generous 4 star review. There was an extremely nice and helpful younger gentleman & girl working. We only got a pizza. The pizza was good but not great flavor wise. It was massive in size though. The homemade ranch dressing was excellent and the simple offering of ranch to go with the pizza spoke right to my heart!! I hate to be reading about a rude and negative owner that same day. I'm Glad we missed him. He's lucky to have the staff that he had there yesterday as they made an average food experience an overall great one.

If you like sticky flavorful wings, then you would love this place. - The fries were amazing. They were thicker than your average crinkle cut fries, they stayed very crispy when we took it home and were seasoned well. My kids ranked their fries the best out of all the fries they have eaten. - Their Mac & Cheese was good. They weren't the cheesy gooey mac and cheese type which I typically like. - Their Cookie Butter Dessert was delicious. It's like a tiramisu but with cookie butter. Too bad it's such a small portion. I think it would be great as a cake! Sienna Wings is a place you will probably miss if you were driving down the road. There isn't a sign except on it's door because there is a dispute with the development over the name. The current big sign they have is "the commissary". They are next to "bean here coffee" which is another place you should try. This place is more of a take out place than a sit down. There is one small table and a bar type table against the wall if you really needed to eat there, but they are mostly being taken up by folks waiting for their pickup order. I think they are a "made to order" place, so prepare to wait for your food to made. I suggest you order online before hand.
