I went to Big Daddy’s to get seafood. I ordered an Alaskan Snow Combo that comes with a 1/2 lb of Shrimp, potatoes corn, and broccoli ($41) with an additional order of Mussels (menu said $13 was charged $15). So with tax I end up paying $59 and some change. When I asked about the $2 difference was told “it must be a typo.” Ok. Wait was not long for seafood platters; standard 20-25 mins. When I arrived home, I opened my combo and realized they forgot the shrimp. I immediately called and spoke with Daniella, who was very apologetic and accommodating which was totally awesome! Food was seasoned well, my only gripe would be the amount of broccoli I was given. It was more like the end of a bag of frozen broccoli than actual whole broccoli crowns. Nonetheless, I would give this place a 6/10.
Fresh seafood is fine, prices are fair. Their crabcakes are pretty good, pricey, but it's all crab meat. We're they failed miserably in my book is the gumbo. It's 95% imitation crab meat, and it shows. You get the occasional cut shell peice of snow crab, but I'm sure that's just for "authenticity". Not spicy at all so good for people who don't like spice. All In all, I'll continue coming for the fresh/ raw seafood. Can't get blue claws anywhere.
Mitch and his wife are amazing! Food aside I would come here for their hospitality and service! But don’t let it distract you from how good the food is! I got the steam sampler and the size for the price is so worth it! I highly recommend this place in either location (currently dining at the one near Gloucester premium outlet mall). Definitely 20/10!
I has such high hopes for this place. The staff were very friendly when I went in. There was a bit if a wait but I didn't mind since I was getting fresh food...so I thought. My entire meal was inedible. I ordered shrimp and whiting and French fries and an order of chicken wings. My wings were soggy and under cooked. The fries were soggy and under cooked. How can you mess up a French fries? Shrimp were old and overcooked with too much breading. The fish was the worse part of the meal it had a weird coating on it and was so greasy and over seasoned. Fried whiting is one of the easiest things to prepare. They really missed the mark with this. Their prices are reasonable but for what I received it was a complete waste of money since we couldn't eat the food.
I’m giving two stars for the staff’s friendly demeanor. Other than that, this place is a hard pass for me. I ordered the fried jumbo shrimp $30 and a crab cake platter for $22 (comes with two sides) the prices are kind of on the higher end, but I don’t mind paying for good food, BUT good food this was NOT. Both the shrimp and crab cake had more breading than actual shrimp and crab meat and once you got to the meat of each after ALL THAT BREADING - there’s literally no flavor to the food. I was wishing, hoping and praying that this would be good, but it wasn’t and im highly disappointed ??
