| - My roommate had heard of Big Daddy's a while back but had never gotten around to trying it, so when the place we planned to patronize for lunch was closed for Labor Day we ended up heading over to give them a try (once we figured out which way we were supposed to be going). When we pulled up the place looked packed. The lot was full, as was the street parking for a few blocks. No problem, it was a nice day and even though we counted on a fairly sizable wait that was fine. Well, it would have been fine if we had actually had a sizable wait, but we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Nice start, BDs.
I stuck to water, but I did take a glance at the beer menu. I must say it was not too shabby, but then again, any beer menu with Shiner Bock on tap can't possibly be shabby not can it?
Like many other "gourmet" type burger places, Big Daddy's has a variety of loaded, combination-style offerings, but they are remarkably flexible about letting you switch their creations around. Don't want meat? Get a black bean burger under all those fancy toppings. Feeling a touch rugged? Try switching to buffalo. Just kicking it mild? Chicken sandwich for you. You can choose your bun, your cheese, your toppings and your meat, not to mention the side that goes with it. Some substitutes/add ons are gratis, some will cost you some change, but let it not be said that you can't get what you want.
I ended up with the Cantina 1511 Burger, a black bean burger topped with cheddar, monterey jack, avocado, green chilis and chipotle ranch, but I swapped the patty to beef and nixed the avocado. To go with I chose the sweet potato fries, which came with whole grain honey mustard. Everything was phenomenal, especially the fries, though I feel like the chipotle ranch sauce could have used a little more kick (although to be honest, I think that of just about everything). My companion did it up Italian style with the Mama Ricotta's burger, which sports a beef burger, mozzarella, pesto, tomatoes and olive oil, on a wheat roll. He got the housemade chips with pimento cheese. The burger was tasty, however, one section was a bit too pink for either of our liking (we ordered both burgers Medium). The chips were crunchy, flavorful and top notch.
I will definitely be returning here next time I get a yearning for a creative burger. Or maybe even just a good beer and some fries.
