I live in the building above BDs. I go there all the time, often by myself. The servers are great. My order is always right and they do not rush me if I sit with my iPad. Much friendlier and more welcoming than City Diner across the street. Menu is limited and it is not cheap, but it is comfortable.

Big Daddy's started out packed when it opened. But bad service, a smaller menu and mediocre food cured that and you can walk right in. Even omelettes don't taste great. The burger is thin and comes out well down, no matter how you order it. It's not cheap either. But the salads are fresh, tasty and large. The green goddess dressing is great. I haven't tried their desserts - perhaps those are ok.

Just placed a pick-up order for a turkey burger, this monstrosity is located right below my apt building, and was told it would be "12 minutes." When I showed up no one greeted me, or the poor old woman who was at the counter, and after waiting 15 minutes for them to figure out if my order was entered I was told "sorry, no one put it in". The old lady finally just left her money on the counter bc no one would give her the chance to pay. That was it. No apology, didn't bother to enter the order, basically was just told to go away. What a gimmicky, over priced, poorly run piece of junk. I have lived in Manhattan for 6 yrs and have never run into a place this bad.

The food is just plain unappetizing. The tater tots are probably from Costco and don't even equal Ore ida. My fries tasted like they had been fried in weeks-old grease. Nothing was edible and it would have been expensive even if the food had been good. Too loud. The servers are really nice, but, their "retro" outfits were not particularly flattering. Go to a real diner.

My kids and I love Big Daddy's. They had a few bumps when they first first opened but they have really come a long way. It's a fun atmosphere. A great family place. The food is really good. The biggest asset is that it is nut free. My son has a peanut allergy and we don't need to worry. I think that it's a great addition to the neighborhood.

Tried this new place in the neighborhood and I'm really sorry I did. The margaritas taste like super sweet smoothies with so little alcohol you can't taste it or feel it, so why bother? If you're going to charge me $9 for a drink, put some tequila in it, ok? The fried chicken tasted like a salt lick sitting in a pool of grease and the tater tots are no better than a school cafeteria. Good thing it was 1/2 price fried chicken night or we would have paid $17 for that. We tried a couple of the alcoholic milkshakes, which were tastey, but again, no booze. They sure think a lot of themselves with those kind of prices, but everying we tried was pretty terrible. Next time I'll go to Carmine's. Please don't patronize this place so it will close soon and we can get a decent restaurant on that corner that doesn't look like it belongs at Disneyland.

Ive been to BD more than a handfull of times both for Breakfast and Lunch. Lets start with breakfast. The eggs are awesome but the homefries are by far the poorest I have ever tried in my life. Pancakes are pretty darn good as well. Lunch well I cant really complain about the tatse which was very good and the fries were just as good but one thing I did notice is the size of the burger has shrunk by at least 25% since they first opened. Do you not think people would notice ? overall not a bad place but overpriced for the portions you get.
