This hidden gem was a lovely restaurant which we visited while in Puerto Rico. Food was excellent, staff were friendly & efficient. The view overlooking the beach was second to none. Highly recommend!

Food was very mediocre. The tacos were dry and lacked any real flavor. The rice was cold. Our hotel and my guide book recommended this place so we had higher expectations. The staff was friendly at least.

Came in one night based on a recommendation from our hotel. Looking for any easy dinner and a couple of cocktails. Had the Taco’s de Cameromes (shrimp tacos) very tasty and the coconut margaritas (happy hour special). A little sweet, but hey I don’t have...it everyday… and I am on vacation. It was a perfect match for the tacos. Loves all the little kittys nestled up on the couch, and one little guy came to sleep by my feet, couldn’t help but share a few pieces of my friends leftover ribs (Kitty loved them)More

Mediocre food. Indifferent service. Nice outside covered seating in the back. Would be a good party bar but dinner was so-so

We celebrated a birthday. Great food, fun atmosphere. Waiter John Carlos was friendly, prompt, and a great server. His personality makes you feel happy and at home.

My girlfriend and I just spent 5 nights in Boquete. The first night we had dinner Big Daddy’s and we were very satisfied with our mean and the prices. Then we ate at Sugar and Spice and were happy with it. Then Mikes Global Grill...and we were very unhappy with that meal. The next night we ate at Fish Grill and were happy with the meal. For our last night, we went back to Big Daddy’s and had another good meal. I highly recommend Big Daddy’s!!More

We have lived near Boquete for 16 years. We have been to Big Daddy's quite a few times. Every time we have a great experience! From the friendly servers, to the drinks, to the food. The atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable to look at...as you dine. Anyone traveling to Boquete must stop at Big Daddy's!!!More

I had the fish tacos. They were very nice and I had a passion fruit Mojito also very good. My brother had a Caesar salad with fish and he enjoyed it. Inexpensive simple family restaurant.

We've been to Big Daddy's several times and though the food is good and the surroundings are beautiful, there's just something missing. The staff is friendly enough, but doesn't interact very much with the patrons. Maybe it's the time of day or day of the...week that we visit, there's just not much ever happening. It won't keep us from coming back when we move here, we'll just try different nights and times until we get it.More

You need to try Big Daddy's again! I agree that your comment wasn't very nice. Try a few dishes before you make a comment.
