| - I have been to Big Daddy's 4 times now. So I guess I am semi-qualifed to speak to my experiences here. I am always hesitant to review BBQ joints, especially if you have only been there a few times. BBQ to me is such an individual thing. There are so many varieties and styles of BBQ that it's easy to judge BBQ harshly when in fact it's just a change in style that you are experiencing. I have been four times now and I have specifically tired to order something different each time. I have had the ribs, chicken, pulled Pork and brisket and everything has been very good. I especially liked the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the ribs were tender and succulent.
I just have a few small issues and they are minor and because again the food was good.
1. It's fairly expensive. I realize they have a lot of over-head with a big building and located in Scottsdale, but the combo plates, start at 14.95 for one meat. Also if you get a 3-meat combo it still only comes with 1 side dish. So portion sizes are an issue for me. I mean if someone is paying 18 bucks for a 3-meat combo you gotta throw in an extra side dish I would think. So you start adding a few extra sides and the bill can get large quickly. I will say that I have had most of their sides in my four excursions and for the most part they are pretty good. The Bakes beans were bland for my liking but I generally like it spicy.
2. The only offer one choice of sauce. The sauce they have is ok. It is what I would go with if you are only going to offer 1 sauce option. Something down the middle of the road. Not too sweet, not too spicy. But for me the minimum choices for BBQ at a good BBQ restaurant should be three. One sweet, one medium and one hot. Granted they do have a hot sauce at the condiments table for those who want to heat thing up a bit, but again. One variety of hot sauce is all that is displayed.
3. One thing I do like is they have a self serve BBQ sauce in large containers that you can dispense in small plastic cups for those of us who like it with plenty of sauce. But the catsup is in those small, tear-open package like you find when you buy a hot dog at a connivence store. Come on guys have a catsup dispenser as well. Many, many items on your menu use catsup. I don't want to have to rip open 12 packages of catsup to get enough.
I will say that do have some pretty good beer specials. They have $1 PBR beer in cans. Personally I think that is gross and I would never drink one, but I do think it's cool that it is offered for those would would be ok with drinking it.
I wished I could give BIg Daddy's a 3 1/2 but since that is not an option I have to go with 3.
