Loved this place! We had never been before but we both very much enjoyed it. The food and service were both incredible and the atmosphere was was a lot of fun. There’s a lot of seating - indoor and outdoor - plus a good sized bar. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I got the wings and my wife got a mushroom burger. I am not good with spicy things, so I stayed away from the spicy flavors but the ones I had were fantastic. Great flavor and no heat. And there’s plenty of vegetarian options for the burgers as well. We will definitely come back!

Bigg Daddy’s has huge portions and great service! Went there for lunch and they had so many great options on the menu however, I do love a really good Smashburger and theirs did not disappoint. Also opted to get it with the onion rings which were nice and crispy and hot. Kevin was my server and he did a great job and absolutely made the perfect Arnold Palmer.

Enjoyable time at Bigg Daddys, the food and service was great. The waffle was so satisfyingly sweet, fluffy and crisp and I wished I had gotten more. The jerk chicken was seasoned to perfection and juicy! I don't even like beer and it was delicious, it was one of the seasonal flavors. Would recommend trying it out before the season gets too busy in Helen. They also have live music!

The restaurant was bustling, but we were fortunate enough to secure a table promptly. We opted for their expansive outdoor patio, which offered a delightful ambiance with panoramic views of the picturesque park across the street. Despite the server’s busyness, she managed to attend to our needs efficiently. Every dish we ordered was delectable, but the Mac & Cheese truly stole the show as my personal favorite.

The Pedro Burger & Cajun Pasta were both incredible. The burgers all have 1/2lb patties cooked to perfection, delicious buns, and the pedro had a shockingly good raspberry bbq. The waffle fries that came with it were comparable to chick fil a. The cajun pasta was creamy and maintained the cajun flavor without being spicy. DEFINITELY recommend.

We arrived and were quickly greeted and sat. 2 of us ordered burgers, 1 ordered pizza, and the other fish and chips. The food was delicious. Nick was our server. He was polite and attentive.

This was a great stop on our last night in Helen, Georgia. The food was delicious. And the waiter was attentive and funny. It was very reasonably priced. And the atmosphere was just bursting with life. Very lively place, I would definitely return. My daughter built her own pizza and I had the chicken wings with vegetables.

My bf and I went here tonight for our 2 yr anniversary! Recommended by one of the girls that works at The Sugar Shack in Helen. My bf and I both agreed that their fried green tomatoes were some of the best we’ve tried!! I LOVED the flavorful combination in my grilled shrimp tacos! My bf said his mushroom and Swiss burger (with a fried egg added on) was delicious! Also, they have homemade sweet tea which tasted amazing!! We will def be recommending this place and coming back at some point! Also, shout out to Maddie, our server. She was delightful and very helpful and attentive!
