REVIEWS OF Big Daddy's BBQ & Banquet Hall IN Alaska

Leah Jean

Took a long time to get our food. Waitress was nice but she seemed to keep forgetting about us and flirting with the men two tables over. Some groups that were seated after us were served before us because our waitress kept forgetting us. The food was good, but not exceptional.

John Hawron

Fantastic barbecue and a very decent beer list. The side orders were nicely done and they obviously take a lot of pride in their food! The brisket was very tender and wonderfully seasoned. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu and their sauces!

Dale Morgan

Ordered brisket dinner. Out of brisket. Ordered beers. Took forever for our server and bartender to get our beers. Ordered burger, supposed to be on a kiaser roll. Instead, it was a regular hamburger bun, soft, squishy and cold. This place was recommended, but we were disappointed. Our only night out in Fairbanks...

Mike Knaak

Ordered their pig out platter. Was told it is food for 3 to 4 people. It wasn't and it didn't even taste good. Do not recommend.

Stephen Wood

The food was great and service was pretty good.

Tiffany Williams

The "Pigout Platter" was amazing!! Enough food for 2 hungry people and only $33.

Sandra B

Excelent food as always! The owners (Jeff & Jenn) welcomed us for a free Thanksgiving dinner...it was definitely fun time! We're thankful

Anne Holmes

Excellent food and service!

shahab aria

We ordered a hamburger, that was ok, a tea that was a tea bag , so not acceptable for a restaurant, a coffee with very low quality( almost like water). Location and decore was good but not great( inside was very dark, even for coffeshop). server was ok but the price was high for quality of food and beverages that we had

The Kirk

I remember when I first came here it was Outstanding. Full of Hospitality Keep it up. Downtown Fairbanks

AKSKULKZ 32

Good food and friendly staff. Good weekley lunch specials

Jayme Rae Lyle

The prime rib burger was amazing! The baby back ribs didn't taste fresh, they tasted "gamey" corn was over bbqed, old and dried up. The batch of coleslaw we had tasted like straight up mayonnaise and that's it! Oh and the rib tips were really good, we enjoyed them a lot!

Phillip Harris

Great to visit somewhere that Guy ate out! You'd better be hungry to order the Pig Out platter or take at least four people with you!

David Claar

I really enjoy Big Daddy's. The $1.25 ribs on Tuesday are fall-off-the-bone delicious, and the barbecue sauce has a great little spice and tangy flavor. The $1.25 whole chicken wings on Wednesday are equally delicious. The hot original flavor has a nice heat, and the garlic parmesan are a flavorful offset to the spicey original. Great value for a very reasonable price.

Monica Hamilton

Terrible overall experience. We waiting 10 minutes to be seated. Then after 26 minutes we didn’t even have water or utensils brought to our table so we had to go ask for it. Our food came moments after we got our drinks. The food was disgusting. Pulled pork served on a plain bun- nothing else. Sides are an additional cost. Everything on the baby back platter was awful. Dry, over cooked, burnt corn- need I say more? And we were told by another server that we should have waited longer to be seated because of the one larger party they had and that’s why their service was poor. Not to mention half their tables were open. Guy Fieri needs to be contacted to revoke his approval because this place SUCKS!!! Take your business elsewhere.

Andrew Kaplan

Ribs were just fine. A little dry

James Smith

Food and service were great like always when I go in.

Kathy Bateson

Yummy! Now I see why it made the food list!

Polly Phillips-Sanborn

This place was recommended by a tour guide. But from the first minute we walked in, it seemed like we weren't welcome. Maybe they don't care for tourists. The BBQ was good, especially the brisket. But it took 40 minutes to get a beer and what I was served was not what I ordered. Server deferred to the bartender who was rude and inferred that I couldn't be able to tell the difference between the amber and an IPA. Food was delivered willy nilly and some items never showed up. Unless you are a local, I would suggest staying away.

Kristy Mckechnie

Loved the pulled pork. Not overly smoked. Great food! You get alot for your money

cliff defor

Great smoked meats and friendly service. Definitely on my recommended list.

John Spurlock

The employees were nice and accommodating, very friendly. However the food was very small portion for the price. On top of the food was very dry and bland

Ferne Rabago

The food is great! The ribs had plenty meat and the sauce made my nose run. Took dessert home (peanut butter cream pie) and it was delicious!

Robert Rojas

Good food. Good prices. Nice establishment. I would visit again.

Christina Evans

Good neighborhood place nothing fancy but homey. Good collards

Megan McFadden

Finally! Good BBQ! Smoked brisket and chicken was moist and delicious! Service was friendly and quick!

Andrew Emde

Great staff great food

Felix the cat

Food is delicious nd excellent service!

Sharon Hudson

Brisket was great, sauce was great... Ribs were alright.

Sandi Thompson

It was good. Our barbecue was dry, we had the pig out and tried a little bit of everything, and our food was satisfactory... it is barbecued

Ira Gitlin

My wife and I ate at Big Daddy's on our first full day in Alaska. We went in with three new friends for a party of 5. Everyone enjoyed their food (honestly I do not remember what everyone had, I had the pork). The service from our waitress was excellent. Sorry, I forgot your name :-( but I've added you pic. Overall a 4 star dining experience. The fifth star was picked up by Big Daddy himself. My wife has a bunch of food allergies that make outside dining a challenge. Bid Daddy came over to the table, sat down with my wife and put together a delicious meal for her. He went so far as to make her a special BBQ sauce, and put it in a container for us to take with us. Who does that? Big Daddy does.

Mark Ewell

This was our second dinner at a Big Daddy’s BarB-Q and was just as good as the first! We had two Pig Out Platters to(more than) feed 5 hungry adults. Our server (Taylor) was excellent. He is efficient as well as knowledgeable and generally a pleasure to be around. We all enjoyed the selection of sauces with the table favoring the spicier two of the four possibilities. Service was fast, especially for a VERY busy Sunday night. Highly recommended for sure!

Eric Jones

Good smoked meat and their sauces are good. A lot of seating. Decent waiting staff. Prices are not bad. KC stacker and fried pickles are good choice. You do not get sides with some of menu choices.

Emilie Woodward

Love the food and the service is good.

Harrison Gottschling

Good beer list and a good place to watch sports, the food is pretty good but not great.

bethany rosendahl

Imagine your friends alcoholic father having a cheap bbq on one of those grills at a local park. Mac and cheese taste like something in a MRE. Chicken was drier than a vegan biscuit. The Brisket, however; was the highlight of my meal. Tender enough to feed to a seansoned meth user with no teeth due to years of drug abuse. Their house made sauces, is more comparable to Kroger brand sauce mixed with hose water stirred together with a dirty toilet brush. Overall it was alright.

Mercedes Anderson

Wing Wednesday had great service and hot food via Ian

Andrew Logan

The food was amazing. I would definitely go again.

Ted Greene

May ne the best BBQ in all of Alaska

Troy Besseche

Delicious and confirmed other reviews

Kevin McElheny

Great bbq ok service a little on the pricey side

Nabil Al Nahin Chowdhury

Food was delicious. Service was amazing too. A little bit excessive but I guess it's worth the extra money.

Dwayne White

To me the barbecue was bland. The chicken was well prepared, but lacked flavor. The ribs were flavorless and tasted like they had been boiled. However the staff was awesome. Very friendly and personable.

Will Brown

Tasty food, but small servings for the price and terrible service. It's really a shame. Everything we ate was good, but $20 for two small pieces of brisket and two tiny sides is not good. Also, service was very slow and the staff was, at best, indifferent. Ordered second beer right after food arrived. Beer came after we were finished. Waiter never came back to table to check on us. Had to flag down a different server. When we tried to sympathize with the waiter by saying we understood he is busy (i.e. the reason he was inattentive), he blamed the kitchen and bar "it's not me, it's them." This is week 5 of a cross-continent trip and in all of our meals out, this is the worst service and poorest value we've had. Food is southern, but service is not.

Richard Krieger

Waited 40 minutes for lunch food that never arrived on August 20, 2019.

Dustin Preator

It wasn't bad but I felt like some of the prices were over price for the portions we got.

Ray Jackson

Great food

Serenity Melendrez

Food was well prepared but tasted pretty simple. Lacking spices perhaps? Or maybe simple prepping. Staff was polite, professional and quick. Attended tables well. Plenty to fill your belly on your plate!

David Massey

Somebody might want to call Guy Fieri and have him re-review their food. The pulled pork and hamburgers are great but in my opinion they dont perform too well with their other meats as I keep giving them more chances. Their best sides would have to be their crinkle cut seasoned fries followed by tbeir baked beans. The macaroni and cheese was tastles despite its cheesey appearance. Their poor customer service by letting the phone ring and hanging up with no response along with the extremly long wait time did not set well with me.

Steve Moss

Great burnt ends. Texas toothpicks were good as well. Wife liked the brisket. Amanda M. Was the best waitress. Reminded us of our daughter.

Caroll D

Amazing food! Great customer service. You won't be disappointed! Amazing ribs, brisket, just about everything there is delicious

AlaskanChicka907

The meat and fries are good. But the collard greens are meh. It use to he good but taste like they come from a can.

Marla Luera

Horrible place to go. No a/c very hot in place. Had to wait for 30 minutes then when food came but wasn't cooked well and cold like it's been sitting for a long time. I couldn't eat NASTY food but the manager offered gift card, or something else. I decline the offer. Was very hungry and nothing the manager offer wasn't good enough for me I couldn't eat at that time. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN.

gloria rodriguez

The BBQ was great. But the sides are horrible. They are pricey as hell. For that kind of price I expected all the food to taste great. It was hot as hell in there. So it made it hard to enjoy.

Emily Smith

One of the better restaurants in Fairbanks. The food is very good, its decently priced for the area, and the staff has always been very friendly and prompt with service.

Butch Anderson

Great place. Good food and service.

William Horton

Long wait, the "Guy Effect", but the pulled pork and BBQ beans were great!

Shin Diana

Must try their Ribs’. So nice~

Christina Kidd

Do yourself a favor and get this food at a catering event. We came here because I’ve had their food at an event and it was good. But that seems to be the only time they can actually have what you want. They are out of everything and it’s 7pm on a weekend. I don’t understand how you can be out of Texas toast.... On top of that, it took 10 minutes just to get someone to seat us. And our waiter came back 30 minutes after we ordered and told us they were out of our appetizer. Terrible service. Don’t come here unless you want to be pissed off. On the positive side, the sweet tea is good, but we haven’t gotten a refill.

Wally Wolber

Food is decent,if you can get it. Told waitress we were only had an hour. Got apps, several queries for where lunch was she would disappear for a while. At the one hour point we had to leave.

Ethan Nichols

The best place to eat bbq in Alaska

Mark Britton

Service was good but the food was bad. I ordered the chicken and rib plate and the meat tasted old. I will probably not be back.

AshLee DuPerron

We loved the girl with purple hair(: best service ever.

matthew garner

I should have known that getting fish at a BBQ restaurant was a terrible idea, but when visiting Alaska fish was on my mind. The fish and chips and the fried shrimp plates were both a disgusting example of frozen food. The breading was cheap and bland. There was more breading than shrimp. Also the slaw was bland and somewhat sour. The mac and cheese was a huge let down and had a plasticky sheen/glaze to it. The fries, rice/beans and fried pickles were great. So was the brisket and pulled pork the rest of our group had. Our server was friendly but they were understaffed. We asked the food server (wearing a red shirt) if we could order another round of drinks and she said only the server could help. She literally stood at our table for 2 min until the server freed up to get his attention to our table. Quite inefficient if you ask me. So, stick with the name....BBQ...and go when they are not busy.

Melody Patterson

Great Atmosphere, food was good just not Texas Barbecue , potato salad was great and so was all of the staff

Kyle Smith

My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and it was dry and full of fat and with no side. my friend had the smoked brisket sandwich that consisted of two small bland pieces of brisket on a dry bun. I had the Texas cheese steak wich was pretty good. Service was decent. Nothing special at all as far as dining in goes and does NOT live up to its southern BBQ boast. Do not recommend.

Jerry Hicks

Great food and service

Cyn T

Love love love all the different types of meat, all cooked to Perfection. Smoked Turkey sandwich or the smoke prime rib to name a few.

David Snider

Service Great food great best food all year

Jaime Combs

Great food and great service! Reasonable priced and when you walk in the door you will feel at home!

Pam Kehres

I really enjoy the brisket at Big Daddy's. Tuesday & Wednesday specials are a good deal though.

Sam Bullen

This was not a bad place to eat per se however, it did not live up to the hype.

Joe Brooks

Great tasting food, slow service, but waited was phenomenal and gave discount and free dessert. Would visit again.

jeffrey baril

Poor service! Food was Luke warm but good flavor.

Kimberly Gilhousen

Service was excellent. However, was a little let down by the food. Ordered a brisket sandwich. Very little meat, and very fatty. and arrived on a sesame bun instead of a Kaiser roll. Coleslaw was very dry. And BBQ sauce was very watery. (The taste of the BBQ was very good though) husband ordered the ribs and they were excellent. Fall off the bone.

Sierra Lake

This place has AMAZING BBQ!!! I got the Cowboy Sundae with pulled pork and bread pudding and I rarely had a meal so good! Everything was good! The service was great and it was a fun atmosphere! I would fly to Fairbanks again just to come here!

Jesse Rodriguez

This is my second try at this place. Same thing. Got me, my wife and daughter sick all night if ya know what I mean. Service was great but the food is over rated and over priced. Sides are still horrible. I'm not sure if it was because we were close to closing time. But it looks like we got all the old burned meat. My family and I won't be going there ever again. I'd rather BBQ my own food and sides.

Klara Kautz

This was after we both ate our fill! The sampler is not your typical sampler, it is the full meal deal and there is plenty for two plus some leftovers. My sweety and I were starving and this allowed us to more than pig out! The staff is also incredibly welcoming and gracious, especially considering we were first-timers! Service was also very prompt after the short wait to be seated, which was understandable because there was more than one massive party tables. The brisquit was tastier than any meat dish we'd ever had before. We highly recommend this place!

Dorothy Foote

Cool place for tourists, off the beaten path. Food is very peppery, when you think of KC, or St. Louis STYLE you think of flavor, such as the brown sugar and smoke paparika. But the peppercorn combination utilized here needs to be tamed with other FLAVORS. Food is cooked to tnder perfection though. Flavor adjustments much needed.

Colton Tersteeg

Great service and amazing food! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal and a great atmosphere.

Robert Haynes

Great food , very good service, loved the staff very friendly

Sara Brudnowski

Very nice people. Very good food. But took awhile to get a waiter.

ShareBear SoLovely

Still Smokin! I always love coming back!

Michele Van Hove

Average. Been to other Triple D restaurants that Guy Fieri has visited but didnt find anything spectacular about this one.

Steve Tilton

Excellent food and friendly service!

Ashley Johnson

If you get their catering...5 stars hands down. Perfect food. Just, wow. If you go to their restaurant...run down furniture , old food, sub par staff, crazy prices ("our sandwiches don't come with a side, do you want to buy one?) Just because you can barely see in the lighting doesn't mean you can hide your crappy food. Gross and never again.

Elizabeth Pruitt

I just finished eating here around 2 pm on a tuesday. Amanda was amazing and patient. The girl who delivered our food however was annoying as all hell. I don't enjoy having RIBS shouted at me as she's trying to figure out who had ribs at our table....when there is two people...who both have ribs. Fantastic food though.

Doug Krnosky

If you want a roadhouse atmosphere with good barbecue, this is your place! $1.25 ribs on Tuesday and $1.25 wings on Wednesday. Good food, cold drinks, and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend!

David Robinson II

Not going to lie my wife and I were a little hurt when we came here. They ran out of Ribs and we were looking forward to ribs. Other than that the food was amazing. The service was good especially since they deliver and people come to dine in or pick up food. We ended up ordering a whole chicken with four sides which was really cheap. I'm glad we split the meal because it was a lot of food, and we had a lot of leftovers. The chicken was literally falling off the bone which is a plus. Id suggest getting there early if they do specials on their ribs again because they might run out of them. Good restaurant at a good price.

Lee Hunt

Great food! We always enjoy it. Servers need to wear shoes..NOT FLIP FLOPS

Pauline Wilson

We have just eaten here, the best meal that we have had in the two months of being in the USA/Canada ....generous portions, full of flavour and not overly priced

Leann McDonald

My husband ordered the 1/2 pound brisket meal and It was great. I ordered the smoked chicken salad and the lettuce was all rotten. I sent it back. They did remove the salad from my bill. The service was mediocre at best. We will never go there again .

Lawrence Dee

Excellent food. Pig out platter was really good, and easily feed more than 2 people

Lana Schneidewind

I love the food the people and the atmosphere

Blupeterb254 B

Very busy place but some days service is very slow.

Dahlton Wasankari

This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals. Ordered the pig out platter, it said something along the lines of "you are gonna need to bring a friend to share with". For $33 and a talked up description, we got it. It came on a giant platter with two of the smallest sides I've ever seen (the picture attached is the size of the side), as well as 4 little samples of bbq that's was colder then room temp. I was also told that they were sorry but they were out of Texas toast as well as the chicken that is supposed to come on the platter, yet the meal was not discounted. Absolutely do not recommend.

Brandon Tagarook

Best BBQ ribs in town. Love the atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.

Mitchell Rohrbaugh

The meat was SO tender! We had the burnt ends appraiser and the KC brisket. Would have liked to have a better selection of non-sweet sauces. I would definitely recommend this place!

Carlos Martinez

Amazing ribs but waitress was rude as hell!

W Mck

Never knew what REAL brisket was supposed to taste like until now. All I can say is WOW! **Update I see all the reviews that are not 5 star and either they didn't eat at the same place we did or they have no taste buds. And YES you have to pick your sides, duh..... Serving are huge and service is excellent!

innashell C

Food was so-so, very slow service but friendly staff

Brian Hughes

Great customer service, our server really went above and beyond to make us a feel welcomed and comfortable. The food was good, a little on the dry side for the pulled pork and the brisket needs to be sliced thinner.

O O

This was good, it was overpriced tho and the service was a bit rude at times, Moody Brews in North Pole is way better and cheaper

Catherine Chlap

Really great food.

Lauren Sabo

Delicious BBQ! We had the platter and split it between two. It was plenty of food! My favorite was the brisket, my husband loved the St. Louis ribs.

Brian K Virgin

Bland and forgettable BBQ reminiscent of a frozen dinner. If you want great BBQ here in town, then cooking it yourself is a requirement. If this is not an option, definitely look elsewhere.

Paul Portillo

Pretty good place for a tourist town. Meat was tender and the BBQ sauces were ok. Mix the KC Sweet and Heat with a little of the Hot Mustard to get more spiciness. Service was excellent.

Tamera Schurch

Food was great as always & customer service was even better!

AHyes TV

Guy Fieri was right that place was incredible. I came all the way from Toronto and enjoyed the food. So good!

kelila terrones

It was our first time there bc it was highly recommended and it was on Food Network! So I was super excited and had high expectations. Let me tell you... I was soooo DISAPPOINTED.... I ordered the dinner Brisket (which was recommended by the waitress and apparently its the most popular plate ordered), with a side of Mac n cheese (also recommended by the waitress), collard greens, and Corn on the Cob. First off, the BRISKET was DRY!! I have never had dry brisket in my life! I'm from Texas and usually brisket is moist from the fat and tender from smoking it. Then the MAC N CHEESE was room temperature when I got it. I asked to reheat it and they did but in their little styrofoam cup

Stuart Harris

It's busy because it's great. Staff handles that well. Last there on a Tuesday late afternoon and as usual was slammed. Locals come here for a reason. I had the Brisket Sammy tonight with cole slaw. Dry rub, no sauce, dang perfect! great bark, wanted to nibble that off first but patiently waited to take it in one bite at a time. No Southerner should miss this place if visiting, even the ones from North Carolina! :) The beers are great too!

Dennis Smink

Sorry Guy, not good! Mac and cheese was Kraft out of the box! My brother in law got the shrimp basket and the shrimp were truly shrimp. I would be embarrassed to sell such small shrimp. My wife got burnt ends. Evidently they don’t understand what burnt ends are. They weren’t the least bit burnt. I got St Louis ribs and they were subpar. Didn’t taste like they were smoked at all. Overall I would say find some other place to eat.

Caleb Bennett

Great eat awesome food and family atmosphere

Laura Sams

We were visiting from out of town and a tradition of ours has always been to get BBQ wherever we go. This place was a real let down - the servers were lovely but the food was just not great. Pretty sure that the mac and cheese, cornbread, and beans were out of a box, the sauce was watered down and not really tasty, and the ribs didn’t have any flavor to them. The chicken was good so maybe just stay clear of ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, and beans if you really want to go?

Patricia Rauch

Great barbeque place.

Kevin Smith

The food is great

ANTHONY MARTIN

Great food great service fantastic staff

Constance

BBQ was okay. If I lived in Fairbanks it's an okay substitute for the Texas BBQ I'm used to. Servers were attentive and accommodating. Thank you!

Cory Smith

Have pretty good BBQ, The Burnt Ends appetizer are really good and the Brisquet is 1 our favs and pulled pork. Have about 4 different sauces and the brisquet and pulled pork doesn't have sauce on so if you don't like sauce the meat is smoked and quite tasty. The house sauce and sweet bbq are my 2 favorites. The sides are very average need more seasoning in the mac and cheese add some salt! Overall the bbq Is tasty and they were featured on TV's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Not a bad place to grab lunch or dinner!

Tuck OBannon

Great food staff friendly and hospitable From Kentucky where smoked meat is king. This is right there with our BBQ smokers. Very good

Kristen Stevens

Just ‘eh. We had to ask for silverware and were informed they were out. The server did go find us some plastic forks. The moose pellets (hush puppies) were dry and seriously burned (taste the charcoal burned). I am grateful when we asked the server for corn bread she told us it was super dry and terrible. We got toast instead and it was okay. We ordered a chicken platter special. It had a lot of meat for the price. Chicken, rib tips and french fries. The meat was moist and had good flavor. The french fries were your typical frozen crinkle cut fries. There was also a bowl of bbq beans that tasted decent, but from a can. We had to ask for bbq sauce. The server went over to another table and asked them if they were done and brought their sauce to us (so, I guess they were out in a half full restaurant?) In the 50-60 minutes we were eating the server only checked on us once. P.S. if your kids don’t like bbq food, bring them something else. There is a small kids menu with 3 items but no way is a corn dog worth $8 when that’s how much a whole box costs.

Jerry Oberg

B best bbq and prime rib in mn. Pay accordingly

Matt Ruck

Solid bbq and nice selection of beers on tap. Nice staff

Michael G Viemeister

Nice place to get some BBQ brisket with a side of Mac n Cheese in the north.

Bill Witte

Ok food but the owner publicly chose to support a bigoted decision to deny equal rights protections for members of the LGBTQ community. I won’t be supporting this business and no doubt the owner would not want my business.

Bill Bailey

Painfully slow service, plain fries & small burger

Lone Wolf781

Excellent foods and sports bar, and an hang out for the holiday.

Derrick Lyman

great friendly service baked beans were off the chain

Universe Critic

Service can be slow because the place gets slammed. However, when they get to you, you get some great quality food and service. A place that looks as such, you might think twice, but definitely give it a chance (recommend it). Water doesnt taste like mop bucket, bbq is outrageously delicious. Coleslaw is killer.

Kathy Fullen

Don’t bother unless you have a few hours to spend. I can’t speak to the taste of the food because we never got ours. We arrived & were seated when they opened at 12. At 12:35 I had to go to the bar to ask if someone could take our order since we had to catch a bus. A waiter came over and took our orders. 20 mins later our drinks came out. We waited until 1pm and had to go leave to catch our bus. I should mention 3 ice teas and 2 Shirley Temples were $15!!!! Not good when you have two starving kids on a tour. No stars for Big Daddy’s from us!!!!!

Teemo Bot

Perfect every time

Mason Wallace

If i could give zero stars i would we waited 30 minutes before getting and walking out we didnt get offered drinks or anyone saying we will be right with you when we asked a waitress she just said ok and walked off awful customer service there was 5 of us in our party and they lost about 200 dollar ticket and another table beside us walked out after we did that had about 8

Donna Robertson

Underwhelming! After a 45 minute wait for our food it was finally delivered. The food was OK but the service was horrible. It appears that they are understaffed because the waitresses look very busy. Bad for business. If you want good BBQ get it in the lower 48.

Jack Marshall

Food was very good, service was very so so

Jennifer Tanner

Great value, but the quality is slipping. This has always been my favorite place for local BBQ, but it had been awhile since we had been in. We brought new-to-the-community friends that hadn't eaten here yet. It was $1.25 rib night and it wasn't at all busy...first clue that something is wrong. Our food came fast and the order was accurate, no problem there. But where was the smokey flavor??? These bones were missing the best part of BBQ, the smoke! It's not even that cold outside, above 0, not that temps were ever an issue under the previous owner. And the sauces have changed, too. They're all watered down and over spiced. I'm hoping that this review is read and taken seriously. We are locals and have been come to Big Daddy's for 8 years. I have always recommended this place often to newcomers. But I just don't know anymore...

Law Offices

Good food/glacial service without a smile. The platter is enough for 4 people and is a nice sampler of everything they have to offer but, be prepared for slow service. We rarely saw our server during our meal and other tables commented upon the same.

c c

The single worst dining experience I've ever had in any state in any country. We waited over 45 minutes for the food just to be told they ran out of the chicken. The server was overbooked with too many tables. It was loud, cramped, expensive and not very good food. A family of five, three of which eat meat. The other two ordered the fish, Cod. The Cod looked like it came out of a frozen package. same shape and same thickness as you would find at Costco in the frozen section. To further exacerbate the situation the fish was cold and tasteless Regardless of what you order the portions are small and expensive. Those of us in the party that ordered meat as well as the people who ordered fish all received about 12 french fries with their meal. I tried to talk to the manager, a young woman, who had all the answers for all the complaints. It was very obvious that I wasn't the first person who has complained about the poor service and poor food. When asked why they didn't know they had run out of the chicken and let us sit there for 45 minutes she began to blame the server. As a leader, she should know not to take the easy way out and blame the person who is busting butt, the server. I am so confident it was not a server issue, they received a tip as if nothing had happened. The manager's attitude, demeanor and tone was disgraceful. The following day we ate at Denny's for less money, better service, and the food tasted good. Maybe Big Daddy's Barbecue should take lessons from Denny's. So in summary, go to Big Daddy's BBQ if you want poor service, fish from the frozen food section and small portions for enourmous money.

Bradley Good

Very cool bar atmosphere and layout. Chicken was juicy and ribs ok. Well priced beer on that day Rest of the bbq was pretty sub standard. Had the cheque put on the table before we had finished. Had planned to drink on but instead moved on!

James Wells

It is a general BBQ restaurant. The smoked meats are good and portion sizes are worth the price.

Danielle Davidson

Yummy. Chicken was great

Aubrie Basco

I was not impressed with the food once it got there we waited almost an hour for bbq the waiter was nonexistent I don’t know what brought Guy up here but it wasn’t the ribs. This guy needs more practice. The greens were flat the only thing I enjoyed was the okra. There has got to be a better place to eat in Fair Banks AK.

Jessica Leigh

I heard about this place on Rockin with Rattles on 89.1 on Friday evenings!! The ribs are phenomenal! Can't wait to come back and try something else. Don't order Mac and cheese it's definitely not the best. Service was fast and friendly!! I definitely recommend it!! And I will be back!

Not the best bbq I’ve had, but defiantly top 5! Service is great, but the wait is sometimes long. Great pricing as well.

Melville Clayton

Terrible. Ordered 2 meals and a salad. Only got the salad after half an hour. Took 15 mins to get a drink. Will never go back.

Joel Weiher

I had the burnt ends. We're very tastie

Erica Stoner

Friendly service, good burger and beer.

John J Gentry

They have made some changes to the brisket so it’s not as good as before. The ribs are still top notch and other meats are good.

This place is great for events. Very pro military. Good food and good service. The bar is fun to sit at, cheap drinks and specials on tap. I give it four starts because while the place is descent, it's nothing special.

The 6-pack of sauces has always been delicious. When you're finished with that huge plate of ribs, make sure you ask for some sauce-to-go.

Andy Lawless

Friendly service, however the brisket wasn't good and extremely fatty. The burnt ends weren't burnt ends but mushy chunks of brisket.

Food was good, and seasoned very well and served was sweet and fun.

You cant get more stars when your out of brisket and smoked chx. Pulled pork was better than most. Sauces are weak and just ehhh..... Nothing to write home about but not bad. Perhaps worth a second chance but i dont see being wowed either. Your call

Lawrence Goodrich

Wow, that’s some great BBQ! Smoked 1/2 Chicken, baked bean & corn and Pulled Pork on a cornbread pancake, coleslaw and baked beans. Now that’s good eating

A surprisingly quality BBQ restaurant that looks a bit like a dive bar from the exterior. Great brisket sandwich. Fries have som nice seasoning....

James Farris

Great food, cowboy sundae - baked beans with a layer of beef brisket topped off with creamy coleslaw and great service (Heather).

Definitely best food in town! If you are a tourist (like us) and don't know where to go for dinner, try this out! You won't regret it!
