Big Daddy's Restaurant

Massapequa, NY 11758
The sign outside reads, "Put Some South in Yer Mouth"! How could we possibly resist?! Big Daddy's Restaurant was buzzing with people but luckily we got there just before it became extremely crowded. We were seated immediately and the service continued to be great throughout our dinner. This is definitely a plus in my book. We drank from mason jars and had some bread and butter while we talked.
Billy Carter's Crawfish, crawfish tails sauteed in a medium spiced peanut honey sauce. After tasting this dish, I tried to decide if I liked this combination of flavors, but after a few more bites decided that it wasn't entirely unlikable. I think what really caught be off guard was the sweetness of this dish, because when you think of crawfish you think of a savory taste. However, Shaun liked his first experience with crawfish very much.
I had the pulled pork po'boy sandwich which is pulled pork seasoned and slow smoked, on a French bread hero, and "Fully Dressed" with a vinegar slaw and Carolina BBQ sauce. YUM! The vinegar slaw and BBQ sauce is what really made this sandwich so delicious.
Shaun had the blackened catfish po'boy sandwich which was also served on a French bread hero and "Fully Dressed" with vinegar slaw and chipotle sour cream salsa. Double YUM!
This was truly a great find! Shaun always does such a good job at finding restaurants with unique characteristics and food that makes you want to return often. They feature New Orleans cuisine and Southern pit style barbecue. We will have to go back to try the barbecue next time. Shaun and I highly recommend it for great New Orleans style food, decor, and just a plain old good time.
