Sep 02, 2026"Great food and great service. Has a nice, relaxed feel. Great place to just go for a quick bite or sit and chat with fam/friends. They're attentive, but not overbearing. The food service is fast and they don't rush you out when you're finished. Highly recommend the mussels with white sauce, hoagie, bacon boy, T42 burger, lumberjack, nachos, loaded fries and just about any pizza on the menu."

Aug 18, 2026"The pizza is great!! Our waitress was lovely too. It was very busy and there was a wait for the inside tables but if there are open ones you can sit there instead."

Aug 10, 2026"When I ate my first Big Daddy Burger I took a picture of it and sent it to my brother who is a chef. When he visited this was a must do stop. He agreed with me that it was the best burger he'd had in quite a while. In December while on a cruise I enjoyed a decent hamburger with a famous chef's name on it. It did not hold a candle to a Big Daddy Burger!"
