The variety of options is fantastic, and there are plenty of seats available. I had the smoked meat sampler, and it was absolutely delicious. They even offer a 2-pound burger challenge! The prices are affordable, so I’ll definitely be back to try more burgers. Don't miss out on the corn casserole!

I really love this place! Their big Philly sandwich is fantastic—definitely get it with the "wet" option—and the chili dogs are great too. The onion rings are huge, and my kids enjoy everything as well. The staff and owner are very friendly. We could use more little spots like this in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, with such good food and good people!

The food alone at this place earns them 4-stars as they have some of the best food in CR. The first time I ate here, they screwed up my order, but they were really busy that day and the tiny place was crowded. The food was still really good. They also give you fairly large portions for what you pay. I just ate here about two weeks ago with my son. He loved it, I noticed the place wasn't as crowded, and they made some really lovely improvements to their menu. The owner's wife even offered her chair, so that I could sit at a table, but my son wanted to sit on a barstool at the counter so I politely declined. Nice place with friendly staff that knows how to cook and good prices.

Well...I have had some good ribs in different places. The ribs here were smoked pretty good. I ordered a half slab of baby backs and a smoked beef brisket. The brisket was nice and tender, Not dry at all. But I rather have it sliced than shredded. But overall, it was good. The ribs were right on time, but I would prefer to have an actual half slab instead of 6 different bones from the ribs. I had baked beans and macaroni and cheese which were pretty good sides. The service was pretty good and the ambience was calm. The prices are pretty good and inexpensive. You will get full eating here. Good job BiG Daddy's.

Delicious food! The staff is friendly and incredibly accommodating. I've been there a few times, and I'm always pleased that I decided to stop for a meal. I really enjoy their ribs, especially with the original sauce. Give it a try—you won't regret it!
