Big Daddy's Grill

Delicious chicken salad and burger. Service was friendly and attentive. Sitting in the back garden area was relaxing. No regrets coming here.

They advertise having the best tacos in town. My fish tacos were small, barely filled, and served on what seemed like cheap, grocery store, hard corn tortillas. Very, very average. Service was good, and atmosphere in the back is nice.

Food is pretty good, although pretty sure the fries were frozen and very small portion with a burger. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. The party deck in back is very comfortable and beautiful with plenty of greenery and different choices for seating. Also pet friendly! Service was pleasant but not particularly upbeat, although a Wednesday evening visit may not be their ideal service time, as it wasn't particularly busy. Lots of expats as well as locals in the mix. Recommend for a quick bite, and more so for a couple of margaritas . (They were out of mint for mojitos 😉)

When entering the restaurant you are greeted nicely and taking you back to the restaurant since it’s pet-friendly 🐶 and the service were nice throughout the lunch. They had many option to chose from in the menu, in the end I chosen Ensalada Cobb 🥗 y and cold tea☕️ but the tea was pretty sweet and the salad was very good 👍🏻. The restaurant was surrounded my natured 🌲 which allowed you to take your dog 🐶 for a walk if your dog 🐶 doesn’t wanna stay still or it feels like it wanna take a bathroom. Overall, a great place to eat at if your on a budget and this restaurant provided large portion size for a reasonable price. (With just the salad 🥗, I was pretty full from it)

What a fun place to eat! The party truly is in the back!! We met owner Chris, and he spent some time with us talking "shop" with my culinary arts husband. 👨‍🍳 Our chicken taco salads were great! We really enjoyed ourselves!

We have dined here twice since we arrived. The selection of menu items is fantastic! Their alcoholic drinks are strong! The first one I had - a blue lagoon was tasty, my husbands margarita was super strong. I then tried a Long Island and I could not stomach more than a few sips. They were even kind to water it down and it was still extremely strong! They take care of a feral felons colony which I think it amazing. They do not risk you, the views are lovely & they allowed us to practise our Spanish with such patience!

Ten flavors of "Meh..." Despite the hype, Big Daddy's misses the mark on so many levels. Service is mediocre and disinterested. Atmosphere and welcome are lukewarm. Food is average at best. Steak was OK, but nothing spectacular. The salad had obviously been sitting in its dressing for hours, consisting of glassy-looking tomatoes and limp lettuce. Accompanying curly fries were a more or less solid lump of potato, crispy on the outside, with a soft chewy center. I can think of half a dozen places in Boquete to eat better, cheaper, with superior service, than Big Daddy's. Won't be coming back in a hurry...

We keep going back here because both the food and service are awesome! Touring here we wanted to try as many restaurants as possible but the food here is delicious and so well prepared we are afraid to be disappointed somewhere else. We have tried their filet mignon sandwich, Panama Red Pork Chop, Fish Tacos and the Boom Boom Shrimp and Filet Mignon platter. Everything except the lemon pie dessert was clearly homemade which made the pie the only thing not worth the money. But everything else was perfect. The filets were rare, tender and juicy every time, the pork chop was three inches thick, the fish was flaky and mild and even the sides were perfectly prepared. The onion rings were hand cut and hand battered and just like the boom boom shrimp the batter was so light and airy you could barely tell they were fried. The mixed vegetables were succulently el dente and there were more than a 1/2 dozen local vegetables in the mix. An added bonus is the delicious margaritas and sauces they make from the hand picked lime, lemon and orange trees growing right next to your table. The service was friendly efficient and bi-lingual. If you are visiting Boquete, this restaurant MUST be the first stop on your list for lunch or dinner!
