Big Daddy's

MASSAPEQUA. Billed as the area's "Home of Southern Food and Moonshine," this down-home restaurant brings a bit of the bayou to Long Island. Colored lights, plank-wood walls, and jazzy photos and posters give the place the look and feel of a Bourbon Street brasserie. Menu highlights include blackened steak, pan-fried catfish with mushroom-scallion cream sauce, and the intimidating Pete's Pit BBQ Combo: pulled pork, beef brisket, and andouille sausage with sour cream and chipotle salsa. So be sure to bring your appetite, mes amis, because they'll be serving in grand style! NB Jazz brunches on Sundays and live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
