Cooked Low and Long.
Oxtails braised until the bone lets go. Gravy thick enough to need a spoon. Served over rice or mashed potatoes, your call.
Yams cooked down with butter and brown sugar. Collards simmered with smoked turkey. Cornbread baked for every service.
The Oxtails That Made Our Name.
Big Daddy’s Kitchen built its reputation on oxtails. Word spread. The line grew. Four locations later, the recipe is the same.

Oxtails
The oxtail plate. The one that brings people back. Slow-braised until the bone lets go, gravy that needs a spoon.

Family Recipes. An Atlanta Kitchen.
Big Daddy’s Kitchen is an Atlanta soul-food institution. Oxtails, turkey wings, yams, greens, cornbread. The food a grandmother would send you home with.
The family runs it the same way every day: portions that feed you twice, prices you can bring the kids on, and food that tastes like home.
