"We had a great time here! The menu and décor are fun. The oversized meals came home with us in bags and everything we had was really tasty! The only drawback for me were the screaming kids....it was a little noisy ( now that my kids are in their 20's) but we definitely would come back and try something new!
PS:
Our waiter was EXCELLENT!!!! Very friendly and was really accommodating!

"Really great classic diner just a few blocks from the Flatiron building! We went there for a quick breakfast/brunch on our last day in the city and the service was New York quick while still having that 50s flair. I'm sure as everyone else has said, get the tots and cheese sauce, you won't regret it!"

"Big Daddy's is an nice upgrade to a traditional diner! Offers an extensive menu of good quality American food at great prices. There is full bar service and they serve gourmet tea and coffee. The atmoshere is diner typical but very clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We have been to Big Daddy's on several occassions and have yet to be disappointed."

"Big Daddy's is a great place to take the kids or your friends to have a good meal in a great atmosphere. The decor is almost everything you can remember from growing up in the 70/80s from the wallpaper to the old soda cans and cereal boxes!
Although we arrived 30 minutes earlier than our reservation, he had us seated within minutes. (While they do take walk in's, they will seat anyone with a reservation first so better to make reservations.).
The menu is most definitely NOT for the health conscious although they do have a few selections. The shakes are AMAZING and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Enjoy!"

"This place was a lot of fun, the atmosphere is youthful and the staff is amazing.The only downside is the food, I ordered the french toast which needed to cook for about 5 more minutes because it was basically just soggy bread, and it was supposed to have fresh fruit on top instead I received Strawberry jam and cut up soggy looking fruit, I didn't eat it nor did I want jam on my french toast so that piece was wasted. Their drinks are great, I had a Cotton Candy milkshake and it was amazing!"
