Big Daddy's Barbecue & Ribs

Wednesday 4/17/246:20pmTonight I had a taste for some barbecue ribs, and I was on the southside so I yelped the closest rib place near me and found Big Daddy's. It's a tiny little restaurant, a mom and Pop spot. This is not an eat in restaurant but I noticed a picnic table on the side. I waited in the drive-through for about eight minutes. The sign says honk when you're ready to order but nobody never responded so I pulled up. once I was at the window, I waited a few more minutes and then honked again. A lady came and told me she would be with me in a few minutes. Another five or 10 minutes went by and she came in took my order. I ordered a half a rack of barbecued ribs, some green beans and some hush puppies.. The wait was horrible. Food is really good. So I tell you about the wait so that if you go just prepare yourself and everything will be great. Check them out!

AMAZING FOOD AND GREAT PRICES!! my great grandmother and I were regulars here when I was growing up and i recently moved back to RVA and was excited to see that they were still open and had the same lady i remembered from my childhood. 100% recommend trying this place out. Just be patient, when you pull up so the service is a bit "slow" but it's completely understandable when you take into consideration that it's usually a one person show and they make the food fresh.

Was looking for a good BBQ place in Richmond and found Big Daddy's and I fell in love with their BBQ and I'm from NC so it had that southern BBQ feel and taste! Especially the Cole slaw on the bbq sandwich!! RIBS BLEW MY MIND AS WELL! Looks small but the food is AUTHENTIC and COOKED TO ORDER!!! Adding menu for them because people are missing out!!

Great bbq pork sandwiches with coleslaw. I always get a large when in town. Don't forget to get a order of their golden fried French fries. They also have cold ice tea to wash it all down.

Great job and great food nice people are always friendly and helpful and always willing to help thanks again for all you do

My husband and I went to Big Daddy's Barbecue & Ribs today. We knew ahead of time that it is not fast food, it's food to order....so it took a few minutes. However, it was well worth it. We loved both the pork and the chicken sandwiches. We were also big fans of the corn fritters and seasoned fries. The owner suggested we try the blackberry cobbler with icecream....and that was a wonderful choice!!! We will definitely be going back.

Best Dang BBQ around! The sauces are amazing, the sides are just delicious, the owners are very welcoming. Food is FRESH and amazing. Dont judge this place by looks, give it a try and you will thank me later. It will end up your go to for BBQ in RVA. Thanks big daddy and Gail for such great food through the years.

Quite underwhelming experience. I ordered a Beef Brisket platter. I did get beef but it was not what I expected. Don't think it was smoked, looked just cooked and smothered in the sauce. No smoke ring, no smoke taste. DO not recommend and will not be returning.

best and cheapest bbq in richmond. lovely lady at the window was very helpful and kind! bussin bussin bussin!

Ridiculous! We've been a customer of theirs for years. Places an order for the pint of bbq, and get home to see hair inside? I called big daddy's bbq to inform, the female/ the wife answered saying "well I t's just one of those days" No excuse me, nothing??? I've seen other reviews of how bad their service is, but didn't understand what they meant. Welp, now I've had to write a review for big daddy bbq.
