We stayed at the hotel across the street before and after our cruise. When we asked for a food recommendation when we arrived, she told us to go try the “Crack Mac” across the street. We were so glad that she gave us the recommendation. We had been to multiple different restaurants over the previous weeks and this was the first time that EVERYONE was happy with their food. There wasn’t a single complaint. We went on the cruise and I craved the burger and Mac n cheese the entire time. We all agreed that we were going back to Big Daddy J’s when we got back. We did and it was delicious again. If I ever return to Cocoa Beach, Big Daddy J’s will be a must visit for me.

My family (Mom, dad, 13 and 17)) stopped in for lunch last week, and we all loved it. We all loved the food and atmosphere, and the server and staff were extremely friendly. Every meal was delicious, and the homemade carrot cake and ice cream sandwiches were amazing.Kid-friendliness: My boys 8, 13, and 17 all loved it. There was something for everyone.

Every now and then I find a place that just makes me want to come back day after day. This is that place. The food is like the best home cooking I've ever had and I've only had two dishes so far. I could tell that they put extreme care and high quality ingredients into the food. Today I have the mac and cheese with pulled pork on top which absolutely blew me away. And I had a brisket Taco because I was dying to try the brisket. So let me just say it right now I can eat that brisket everyday for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy. The food is outstanding I cannot wait to try everything else on the menu. If you have the opportunity to eat at Big Daddy J's, do it do not miss out. My friends were telling me how good this place is and it took me a year to get here so I really missed out on a lot of good food! They also have great beer and cocktails. The beer specials are pretty awesome too today they had a Sierra Nevada Citrus wheat ale for $2. That's a crazy price for an excellent beer. Check it out I'm sure you'll be leaving a review here too.

The food and hospitality were so good. The loaded baked potato with brisket was amazing. The red beans and rice was perfect. Thanks for the excellent meal. My husband says his burger was the best burger he has ever had!

This bar/restaurant was the best hidden gem in Cocoa Beach. The food was absolutely delicious. Please try the brisket tacos and don’t forget the carrot cake. Service was the best with the owner even taking time to say hi. When we arrived it was empty, which I don’t know why because we showed up for happy hour $5 drinks. Started getting busy around 5. Please try it out! Thanks!

Owner and waitresses were super friendly.Food was phenomenal. Brisket sandwich Mac and cheese. Had to finish my daughter's pulled pork chimichunga so I didn't go to waste. Large ice cream cookie finished us off. Probably going back tomorrow for the tacos.

Food and prices out of this world. $5 margaritas with fresh lime, great beer and amazing brisket. Didn’t take pics of food - but it was amazing!

Don't be fooled by the exterior...this place is awesome! The service was excellent and the drinks were good and cheap. Next time we're in Cocoa Beach we'll definitely stop by again!
Stopped dinner after seeing the loaded potatoes, so I had to have the mega loaded baked potato, was incredible. Also had the buttermilk chicken sandwich, no joke best chicken I've had in awhile. Juicy chicken, crisp crust, and the cheese sauce was an excellent touch.
