D. E.August 25, 2015Tater tots, pancakes, breakfasts, — everything is yummy and huge. Endless coffee tastes great, too. Don't make our mistake: if you are not starving for 24h, take a meal and share it with a friend.
Jerry DaykinNovember 29, 2014Amazing gluten free waffles/pancakes, plus the option to have a gluten free bun with your burger! Tell your server...
Ms HeleneJanuary 23, 2015Veggie burger on gluten free bun with pickles, spicy mayo, tomatoes, onion, lettuce and side of fries or tater tots only $12. Bun could've been toasted more but still tasty and satisfying
Daniel FoscoAugust 19, 2014Burgers are awesome, so are bottled sodas! Pancake Milkshake was a little too sweet for my taste — but overall the cool atmosphere and GREAT service makes it a 10/10 dinner place.
Really good chicken and waffles. Well seasoned, juicy, crunchy exterior, finished with salt, served with a bit of honey on the side. Waffle is crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.
Douglas SmithJuly 24, 2013One of the best burgers I have ever had. Try the Bad-Boy Burger, an excellent bacon cheeseburger, made with cheddar. Delicious. I had it with tater tots.
Geoff RykenAugust 12, 2014Neat restaurant with lots of things to remind you of the '80s and '90s. Burger was great, and the tater tots were excellent and crispy (even though I don't usually prefer tater tots).
Good SquishyMarch 6, 2017Awesome Classic Americana diner! Really nice food! Super indulgent! Get the border dogs and the Malted Whopper Shake! Great staff too!
Lisa Yvette LMay 31, 2013Great neighborhood gem! As soon as you walk through the door the smell of waffles lures you in. The menu's great...lots of goodness and a sweet staff too!
GiacsonOctober 25, 2019Classic Diner menu and style, food ok to fill your belly for the whole day. Service a bit slow but overall worth the american experience
Camila Rey de CastroJune 27, 2011Good Service and it has great decorations. It looks like you stepped into a movie from the early 60's. The best dessert is the smores sundae. It has a lot of marshmallows and hot fudge.
I've been a huge Big Daddy's fan for years. The boozy brunch special can be had ANY day of the week!
MaureenSeptember 29, 2013Great and fun restaurant/diner with spectacular shakes and cocktails, as well as amazing burgers and an out-of-this-world Reuben Sandwich!
Love their pancake varieties. I usually split the Easy Rider with my wife - it's more than enough food for 2.
Kimmie OhhJune 30, 2020Great diner food! They have old school diner decor. They add twists to classic diner food.
One of my favorite diner spots in NYC. Delicious tater tots! Try out their amazing Three Cheese Mac & Cheese with grilled chicken Yumeehh!! And their buffalo tenders are delish as well.
JenKuduSeptember 25, 2013Order the banana milkshake!!!! It's like drinking banana pudding in a cup. The portions are huge too. If ordering milkshakes, you might want to split a burger.
Janell BrownDecember 31, 2014Boozy Brunch 👌. Their waffles are better than their pancakes but the Chocolate Chunk pancakes are definitely worth getting.
Eli ShowalterJanuary 24, 2016This place is 🔥. The shakes and tots are where it's at. I can't believe I've only just gotten here.
Great Diner feel and ambiance ... omelets are big and good ... drink specials are also plentiful
Ann KriegerMay 2, 2013Friendly service, a little pricey, but you get so much food. It is one of the best diners I Have been to.
Jessica BishopMarch 13, 2015Weekday boozy brunch - unlimited bloody Mary's, mimosas or screwdrivers for $15 👍
christine joyMarch 11, 2012Ask for Kiki the server - she's friendly, patient, and efficient. One of the best servers I've ever had! Kudos to the staff in general, worked like a well-oiled machine.

Sam BamJune 8, 2012I'm weird but love this late night snack at Big Daddy's: huge cup of hot chocolate and the mozzarella sticks, and sweet potato tatter tots!- Phillip JamesSeptember 18, 2012Phillip enjoyed having lunch at Big Daddy's Diner in Gramercy Park, NYC! Lookout Johnny Rockets and Ellen's Stardust Diner...You've got big competition from Big Daddy's! Who's Your Daddy?
💎TDecember 17, 2015Yes I got a salad, but the Thai Cobb was so good! $15 and it was huge. Couldn't even finish it.
Mary Ann SantosNovember 15, 2013So fun but the sweet potater tots made me sad. They tasted like they were artificially sweetened. Go with the classic tots!
Gordon MeiNovember 9, 2014It's all about the tater tots here. Also check out the vintage cereal boxes on the front wall.
Gabriele 肉March 27, 2015Very slow service but superfast Wi-Fi! Ask for the password. Ma's mac and cheese is great.
Gloriann ChhouthMarch 11, 2011This is a great diner. The staff ia so friendly, the food portions are huge. I always leave here satisfied. Try the burgers, they are the best!
Sunita ShahAugust 9, 2014Waitresses offered to make me an off menu shake - Caramel Cookie Monster. Exactly what I wanted. 😍
Lauren SKNovember 6, 2014Excess can be heavenly! Crazy drinks, desserts, and meals with a fun decor!
Qbrad WitoverApril 24, 2011Great tots! They also have trivia at all their locations regularly. Prizes are for their food and are only discounts, not free. Menu takes forever to read, as all items have special names.- Casey SJune 20, 2013Well priced, quick service, and a damn delicious and perfectly cooked burger. Yes please.
Melissa WisemanOctober 21, 2019stumbled upon this while walking, went in and it did not disappoint!!!
elicitAugust 27, 2012Had the s'mores ice cream - graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate chunks on top of vanilla ice cream. Share it with a friend!
Andrea GJune 2, 2011Very good service at lunch. The blackened chicken salad was good. I want to go for it next time and have a burger & shake!
If you're in the mood to be decadent, they have the Oreo milkshake!
Wayne BennettJuly 27, 2016Good burgers. Big portions. Decent diner food with good music. Drinks expensive.
Sydney LimJanuary 27, 2018Needs better handle on kids parties when it gets too loud. Party upstairs was yelling across the restaurant and slammed on tables. Waited 40 minutes for simple pancakes, eggs, toast and tater tots.
There's a reason almost all the tips here talk about the tots. And, yes, you want cheese on them.
Ricardo da Silva OliveiraJuly 15, 2013the best chicken with honey, and waffle!OMG! waiter Robbie was the awesome!
Mary CatherineDecember 6, 2015Black and white milkshake if your taste buds are craving something classic
Chris BruceJanuary 10, 2015Two of the standard breakfast platters are half price before 11am on weekdays
