Big Daddy’s
“The decor is an old school diner and on each table they have trivial pursuit cards to kill the time and have some fun with.”
“We ordered the easy Rider & chicken & waffles The pancakes were everything u want a pancake to be & the sausage was devine.”
“Jeremy suggested the Chicken Sandy, a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado, bacon, and jalapeño jack on a ciabatta.”

Nick is the new GM. He's been there a week. My service was provided by Vanetta. She was a true pro and a people person. A lefty too! They were both excellent. Friendly/greeting me smiling when I walked in the door. I'd go back in a heart beat just for the warm welcome!!
The table was clean and atmosphere is always fun. I'm always busy finding photos to take of things I missed my last visit. The bathroom was even in good condition. My first time using it at Big Daddy's.
Three stars because I've gotten a terrific upset stomach from the meal. I won't order their fried chicken again. Sweet potato tots were very greasy too. If I paid full price for the chicken I would really have been upset. Way overpriced and quality lacking. Dry stringy with very little meat. The batter tasted good. I'm wondering now what was in it. I am very sensitive to some spices. If they added something atypical to the batter I may have had a reaction. I'm thinking garlic. I like traditional southern fried chicken. Next time I want fried chicken I'll go to KFC!!
Next visit I'm trying the half price breakfast. M-Fri before 11am!!
This Sunday at Big Daddy's is free complimentary "MOM-OSA'S" all day for Mothers Day.

We visited Big Daddy's quite randomly. It wasn't planned, but overall the experience was good.
Decor here is very playful. There are bright colors and logos painted all over the walls, capturing the best of the 90s. We were here later in the evening last Saturday and were pleased to catch a playoff football game on the overhead TVs.
It took a little while for our server to finally approach us to take our orders (odd considering the place wasn't busy at all), but our food and drinks didn't take long at all to arrive.
My dining companions both ordered milk shakes (very large ones!) and I had a bloody Mary. Good to know you can get breakfast AND breakfast cocktails all day long here.
And speaking of breakfast, I ordered a breakfast burrito. It was large and satisfying, containing some of my favorite items–from avocado to cheese, beans, and bacon, it really hit the spot. The salsa on the side was a nice touch, but I could have used more, and maybe even sour cream. I loved the sweet tater tots on the side, but also tasted my friend's regular tater tots and enjoyed those.
Overall, we had a solid diner-style meal here. The decor is playful. The service isn't particularly warm, but I didn't really expect top notch service when I stepped in the door. I got what I expected, which was a satisfying meal on a chilly night.
A solid 3 stars.
I took my kids here. What a fun atmosphere. I had a hamburger which was good. My kids loved the milkshakes. They had a nice selection of beers. The atmosphere was that of a 50s diner.
I always love me some Big Daddy's diner. They've got the best tater tots in the tri-state area. They also have the most ridiculous selection of milkshakes I've seen to date. It's not your typical all-american diner with a 50s theme, but it's really more like an all-american pop culture diner throughout the 60s-70s. There is a ton of memorabilia on the walls to commemorate actors, shows, cartoons from that era. It's charming. Might not be for everyone but it's fun in a very casual setting.
Pros: amazing fried chicken; enormous portions; cute decor, friendly service
Cons: though the service is friendly, it is incredibly, incredibly slow, as well as unhelpful.
If you're looking for a quick hangover cure in a greasy breakfast sandwich or platter, then look no further. I ordered the two by four… eggs over easy with a side of bacon and tater tots. Not the best I've ever had, not the worst. A bit over priced for a pretty low-end diner if you ask me, but if you're into video games than I guess Big Daddy's has appeal? Idk, I don't see myself returning.
Pretty standard old-timey diner. Think Pulp Fiction Jack Rabbit Slim's without quite the mystery.
The waitress stated that the burgers were what they are known for. Thus I ordered the Original Big Mac Daddy burger. It was a standard cheeseburger w/ special sauce (basically another Big Mac russian style sauce – nothing special). Came with your choice of fries, tater tots, etc. The nicest part of it was the half price draft beers during happy hour.
I didn't get a chance to try, but the milkshakes looked quite amazing. My coronary arteries started clogging just looking at them.
Oh fabulous retro fun diner with incredible service, kickback to the 70's / 80's decor, music, candy stand and even pac man and galaga video games. Any kid or kid at heart – or fan of retro fun – will enjoy just the atmosphere here.
I've been here with kids' parties and it is a perfect location. I've been here with family and friends who have children, also a huge hit where kids from New Jersey, CT and other NYC neighborhoods want to come back. And have been here with just my son. All good fun and every time left happy.
Service always friendly and recently Ms fabulous friendly V was our server. Looking at the menu I said the boozy brunch special looked good as I was achey, but it was Friday night, I was with my son. So asked what to have for a gal feeling cranky, crampy and hungry. V lit up and said I have the perfect thing . Her confidence and personality were so convincing I let her recommend and get for me whatever she wanted – a loaded Dude burger with onion ring instead of fries substitute – and a divine ache healing spiked super chocolatey milkshake. Wow . Fantastic. We left full, entertained from video games, relaxed, not crampy and happy.
Highly recommend for families, kids, kids at heart who like a retro diner experience with great service, food and – games !
