You figure you cant mess up diner food. I have ben here twice and both time I was extremely disappointed. Every piece of food I ever had there was subpar. Hot chocolate they skimp on by only using half a packet. Burgers and chicken fingers just didnt taste right, the shakes are watery and waaayy too sweet. Just overrall wasn't an enjoyable experience, the vibe of the place is goofy. You would figure a place selling their own t-shirts would take the time to serve some good food. This falls into the category of a tourist trap.

Pros: location

Cons: FOOD

My friend and I had a lunch at BigDaddy's, and at the end of the meal I noticed this small insect on my plate. I showed it to the waiter, who called the manager right away. The manager apologized and offered me two $5 coupons to the place (as if I ever want to eat there again!). He, however, didn't hesitate to bring the FULL BILL, including the eggs with the side of those home fries. I suggested to the manager (politely, I must say) to take the gift certificates back and not to charge me AT LEAST for the insect dish. He did take off this dish from the bill, but didn't do it with the rest of the meal as I expected. I will never be back--on top of serving me an insect from the kitchen, they didn't take care of their disgusted customer.
