Big Daddy's Diner - Cloudcroft

The food wasn't good. They had too much grease. And the chicken was under cooked. The price was too high for the quality of food. Our server did great and was very friendly. And the atmosphere definitely was inviting. Just not worth the price for the taste. Or lack there of.

I was looking to pull up to the first diner I saw and came across Big Daddy?s. It has the classic country home cookin vibe and when I entered I was greeted by what might be the most enthusiastic hostess I?ve ever encountered. Renee, who was all of 12 years old, greeted me and informed me that I had any seat of my choice. My server, Bridgette was super nice and helpful. I struck up a conversation and she gave me some pointers on where the good camp spots were. Her service was excellent, keeping my coffee hot and quickly taking my order and serving my food. I went with the huevos rancheros and it was delicious(get the spicy red sauce). The price point for the quality and flavor was excellent, and as Ms Renee was taking my payment at the counter, the cook went out of his way to ask me how my meal was. I assured him that it was more than satisfying and he thanked me for dining with them. As I left, one of the other servers gave me a ?God Bless? as a farewell. Restaurants like this are hard to find anymore.

Loved this place! The food tasted just like home cooked. The staff was super friendly and conversational. Love that! They care enough to talk to folks and find where they're from and where they're going. Some people don't care to talk to strangers but I find that if you talk to someone long enough you'll find something you have in common. And we did. I'd highly recommend this place for breakfast for sure! I can't imagine the lunch/dinner menu not being just as good.

Hash browns looked like fried sponges, didn?t taste much better. The syrup thing didn?t pour, when we took the cap off it was crusty and gross. As we were leaving they just put the cap back on and put it back in rotation, never cleaned it. Service was good, and the food was tasty, other than the hash browns.

OMG this place was amazing. Only time I wasn't freaking out and crying about driving through mountains was when we ate here. Huge portions, fantazmal sliced brisket, and the BEST potato salad I've had outside of my mom's!!! And the view what??!!??
