Big Daddy's Cafe - Atlanta

With friends in ATL flew and wanted to eat something good, glad we came to the big daddy's café. We ordered everything in the menu. Favorite were the oxtail, yams and greens. Everything was really good, wasn't a court we didn't like. The staff was all super friendly, got a picture with them. Place is a grave and go, not an indoor kitchen. One of the best restaurants in the south.

This is my first time eating here, I?d heard so much about it, I decided to try it. Upon walking in I was greeted, which is a great thing, the lady in front was very pleasant . She had a smile with a nice demeanor and she?s very patient. They fried my chicken and fish in the same deep fryer with no separation, I have no allergies so I didn?t trip. The chicken wings still have feathers on them, they have no seasoning they?re very bland. The fish was what I really wanted and it also is bland with no seasoning, the Tatar sauce is old, the peach cobbler the crust is kind of chewy with a funny taste where it was microwaved to make it hot again and maybe cooked a lil too long. The corn bread muffins, beef tips w/rice are good along with the greens and Mac cheese, I just need more rice to go with the beef tips. This is what saved me from being hungry and giving a 1.

On a very surprise stop in Atlanta, I found this amazing treasure to eat a delicious meal that surpassed all expectations. Food is a comfort and a hope. Many places have a good dish or two but when the entirety of the meal is beyond perfect and makes you think omg how did you make this it goes to the sublime. I got the curry chicken and rice with two sides, choosing collard greens and yams. I also picked up a slice of lemon cake. Unbeknownst to me they also added a small container of beef tips I want to thank the owner of the recipe and the chef as um yum yum. So good and happy. The curry chicken was fall apart on the bone completely flavorful Jamaican style with out that dryness that so many chicken dishes get. The yams I have no clue how they flavored them but were lightly spiced and not drowning in sweetness allowing one to truly enjoy each bite. Collard greens have no pork but a large smoke flavor from the smoked turkey they use to flavor the stock. Tender and perfect. You know when you used to go to your aunts house and they said go play and you?d come back and there?d be a slice of lemon cake with frosting that was tart and sweet full of lemon flavor and so soft you be thinking my aunt loves me so much. That?d be this lemon cake. Somebody?s aunt or nana made this amazing cake of summer memories. You can call in an order. They do catering. There?s parking. Go eat, be patient, kind, and get an amazing piece of copper Norse style jewelry from the maker outside the restaurant. At this time (due to COVID there is no dine in every one was doing take out. The staff are friendly and kind. The bathroom is clean and smells it! :

Big daddy kitchen is not right with that good tasting cooking, it 's tasting like Big Mama in the back kitchen. This is a meal you wont ever forget if you are hungry and greedy. You will be back sooner than you think. Here is the chicken wing plate I ordered w/ the good delicious mac cheese and those great tasty collard green top w/that soft good tasting corn bread muffin. Hot sauce included. The bro got the veggie plate looking like the Thanksgiving dinner sides. Big Daddy is a Order to Go establishment. Eventhough limited seating is available. The front help greetings are warm and friendly. The place is small with wheel chair accessible but NO PUBLIC RESTROOM. Mask are encouraged but not required. All food are safety prepared by the kitchen staff and served up fresh and deliciously hot. The price is fair with the cost of demand. This place is safe with plenty of parking. This business will be a good investment it 's has good healthy food and excellent cooks. Health score B
