An interesting restaurant with very good sea food. Everything from crab to alligator. Goos service and nice people to deal with. Atmosphere needs a bit of an upgrade. A Good place to enjoy sea food family and friends
I've only been here once: I was in the mood for some oysters and crustaceans, and as I was entertaining guests from out of town, we did a quick search and ended up at Big Daddy's.
The server was nice, and the oysters, though firmly on the expensive side, were pretty good. Unfortunately, they had run out of 3 of...

We had not been in awhile and decided to go try their small plates on the bar side.
We arrived before six and the bar side was busy while the restaurant itself was quiet.
Service was quick and the drinks arrived promptly however the waitress had to come back as she had forgotten what we ordered.
The small plates arrived...

Great food and atmosphere.
We like to go Friday evening for drinks and sea food.
It's not the best but fairly good.
Cheers!
The food was good however the location is very small so you may want to book in advance. Service is slow but the food is hot. Price is a little high for what you are getting.
Took a friend there at Friday night, the food are beyond excellent ! Highly recommend grilled calamari, best calamari I have ever had! And duck with orange sauce, perfectly match. Services are excellent too, everyone is friendly and helpful, no matter which section you sit. I had a glass red wine which I absolutely love it, but I couldn't remember... more
Dinner at the restaurant was a disaster. We have enjoyed eating at the downtown location in Ottawa, so tried this location closer to home. We made a reservation to make sure we did not have to wait for a table. We arrived on time and were seated quickly, but that was the last decent part of the service. It took... more
neat decor. Food didn't meet my expectations but was still decent.
not a great ambience, but great seafood!
Great food. Pretty pricy though since it is mostly seafood. Again, the one on Bank street has a better atmosphere, especially during February when they celebrate Mardi Gras every Tuesday. I would reccomend the Fondu. It is more like a wonderful cheezy (and whatever you choose) dip with great little bits of bread to dunk! Yum!
Our #1 Favourite Restaurant!!! Best seafood around for sure. Oysters, Calamary, Seafood Fondue and Bouillabaisse!!! With a good Ceasar!!!
Everything on the menu is worth trying. Yummy!
"Fat Guy Food Critic" here for another culinary experience. Stopped in on a whim at Big Daddy's Crab Shack and Oyster Bar and I was not disapointed. The inside was small and intimate but in a fun and funky way. The service was among the best that I have ever had!! Our waitress was really cool and answered all our... more
Good seafood, but a bit greasy
I love their oyster and their selection of sauce. I still like to stick with the traditional seafood sauce. Good place for friends gathering.
Big Daddys is a good place to go on a casual date with. One dish that stood out on the menu was the gator dish. Although I love to eat meat the gator dish was not impressive. Im more into the medium rare taste and the dryness of the gator meat left something to desire.
The food is great and so is the environment
Ok not that i'm really have alot experanse in seafood 2 x before this but it wasn't what i expected
They don't accept reservations, but they do take bribes. After a three hour wait we felt rushed to eat. We waited three hours and were rushed out in 20 min. Most of the food is pre-cooked and served cold. The wait staff was rude and while we were allowed to order an appetizer at the bar they brought the wrong one twice. It is a true tourist trap, with everyone saying that the wait is worth it,... more
Terrible rice, tuna steak was very cold. Good catfish. Great banana ice cream desert.
je suis venu de Montreal expret pour ce retaurant et je n'ai pas été déçu.Le crocodile, la fondue au fruits de mer comme entré étaient très bons. Pour le dessert il faut essayer la crême brulée. L'ambiance et le décor tout à fait agréable. Bravo.
A little overpriced, but a fun place to go..Keep an eye out for cougars on the prowl!!
