“We’ve been coming to Big Daddy’s for a long time, and I can tell you our trip today definitely demonstrates the new vibe and the upgraded positive energy.

This is our favorite restaurant once again on the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach strip. —Cherie S.

“I saw the ad for Big Daddy’s and gave them a try. I had the oysters and flounder—fantastic! I went back Thursday and had the oysters and scallops. The wait that day was a little long because of a small tour bus, but the food was still fantastic. Ended up again on Friday before I came back home. Had the flounder, scallops, oysters. .” —Matthew K.
