“ Been here several times the food is always incredible and the people are always the nicest. Very authentic, flavorful and quality food at a price you just can't beat. Family business and every single person you interact with at Big Daddy's is so kind. Will come back again and again. ”
“ This is the southern comfort food I needed after a memorial. Great Soul food for a sad soul. Big Daddy's always hits the spot, and we drive from 2 hrs away every time we are in Mississippi for their food. Don't miss out on this great place. Now my 7th time over the past few years of eating here. ”
“ Okay, let me tell you about our meal at Big Daddy's tonight. My wife and I decided to go all in and try a little bit of everything, and wow... we were *not* disappointed! **My Plate:** - **Meatloaf:** Classic, hearty, and just like comfort should taste. Slightly heavy on the ketchup flavor, but I love it that way. - **Ribs:** Fall-off-the-bone tender, with that perfect smoky-sweet bite. - **Lasagna:** HOLD UP. I did *not* expect to rave about lasagna at a soul food spot, but holy smokes. This was my absolute favorite!? Layers of cheesy, meaty goodness with a sauce that had me scraping the plate. Unexpected star! - **Sides:** Baked beans were smoky and rich, and the chicken spaghetti was creamy and totally addictive. **Wife's Plate:** - **Salisbury Steak:** Juicy, savory, smothered in gravy – she devoured it. - **Turkey Wing:** Huge and flavorful, falling apart tender. - **Fried Chicken:** Crispy outside, juicy inside. She couldn't stop talking about it! - **Sides:** Rice was perfect for soaking up gravy, and the Mac n cheese? Creamy, cheesy, soul food gold. But honestly? Beyond the **seriously amazing flavors** (everything tasted homemade and packed with love), the **staff made the night**. So warm, so gracious, checking on us without hovering, and just radiating that good Southern hospitality vibe. Big Mama (I think?) at the counter was an absolute sweetheart! We rolled out of there stuffed, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and **STOP**. Trust me – you'll thank me later. See you soon, Big Daddy's! ”
“ This is a awesome place to get some good soul food home-cooked meals. The fried chicken is delicious. Ribs are very tender and fall off the bone. Cornbread is very soft and fresh. Ms. Honey will take care of you. Highly recommended. ”
“ When I tell you , I’m here in Gulfport Ms. The food in this place food is amazing!! I had the chicken, pork steak and all my veggies. ”
“ Wow what a rare find. I love buffet style places like this. So authentic. Had a little of everything, waited for the catfish which came out fresh. Had a piece of fried chicken, catfish and one rib. For sides I had the broccoli and plain rice. Lets start with the sides, broccoli was mushy and cheesy, not bad. The rice was buttered which is new for me. Both great. The chicken, wow so flavourful. Even though it was sitting out and looked a little dry it wasnt, it was perfection, best fried chicken in a long time. The catfish, similar well seasoned, juicy really good. The rib, wow was juicy and that sauce. It really reminded me for the jack daniels pulled pork you get in the freezer section, the sauce is identical, sweet and very very tasty. I thourally enjoyed this food, wish I lived here I'd be here every day. ”
“ Me and the wife recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic black family-owned restaurant in Gulfport, Mississippi, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a young teenager who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was absolutely excellent, with each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The selection on the menu was impressive, offering a variety of delicious options to choose from. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also spot-on. Every staff member was friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. The location added to the charm of the restaurant, providing a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy our meal. One delightful touch was when the teenager, who introduced himself as “Little Daddy,” brought a certain flair to our experience with his charm and enthusiasm. It added a personal touch that made our visit even more memorable. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was a perfect 10 out of 5 stars. We will definitely be returning whenever we find ourselves back in Gulfport, Mississippi. Highly recommended! ”
“ I went here on a whim and now Im hooked. I go there almost every Friday to get meals for me, my son and nephew. I love the porkchops and macaroni and the peach cobbler. The yams, chicken and corn are great as well. I know I can't eat there all the time or I would have to go up a couple pant sizes . The staff was really friendly and made me feel at home. I would definitely recommend going here but bring your appetite and a pillow because that "i-tis" will hit you really quick. Make sure to check their FB page because they have a different menu every day. I took my parents there recently and they really enjoyed the food. They said they would definitely be coming back. ”
