Big Daddys Restaurant - (Near Brownsville, TX)

Pete Smith A wonderful experience. Amazing decor; great food. Elegant dining; authentic Italian dishes. Drink specials throughout the week 3 to 7. Entertainment some nights, including piano player/vocalist inside and bands outside on patio. Rich, majestic interior with beautiful hi-gloss tiles, burgundy curtains, substantial chandeliers, authentic looking gas-fired sconces, paintings and old-world photos. The spaghetti and meatballs was terrific as was the chicken saltimbocca. Italian almond orange cake made for a perfectly unique and satisfying dessert. Lemon drop cocktail was Thursdays drink special. Full menu including soups, salads, steaks, seafood, pastas, and especially Italian entrees. Lunch menu too. Authentic Italian desserts. Beautifully decorated inside and out on the patio as well, with old fashioned street lights and classy wrought iron tables and chairs. A must when visiting Harlingen. Family owned and operated.

Anthony Great service and amazing atmosphere. Just don’t make the mistake of ordering a lobster roll at a sports bar. Came out takings like a tuna salad sandwich haha. The pot roast was really good though as well as the nachos. One of my favorite places to watch a game.

Donna Parks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Los Arquitos Cocina Mexicana is the real deal. Nothing fancy, just authentic Mexican food done right. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the flavors were spot on, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and welcoming, like a true neighborhood spot. If you want genuine, comforting Mexican food in Athens, this is definitely the place to go.

Laven K Okay this is my second review. Food is still top notch. They didnt miss a beat, I had a fast Friday and decided to pick up lunch.. Super cold bottle water and a 5 minute wait in my truck, food was delivered to my window.. Service!!!! Before I could get to my destination those fries were devoured. I was hungry no doubt , but the seasoning hit and the gravy was 100% I enjoyed it so much . The gyro is always a solid.. Fresh ingredients , yes from a food truck, veggies were crisp and in this heat thats something my friends . Keep up the good work D!

Gilberto Sanchez ​Black Bear Paw is extremely popular for a reason: the food is phenomenal! The staff are incredibly welcoming right from the moment you walk in, greeting you with a smile. Our server was so helpful and made excellent recommendations that we truly enjoyed. ​I ordered the California Bacon Benedicts, which were perfectly executed—rich hollandaise and flawlessly poached eggs. My wife had "The Grizz" and loved every comforting, flavorful bite. ​Everything is clearly made fresh, which is wonderful, but be warned: the place was packed, and the wait for the food was noticeable. ​Verdict: This is a clear 5-star winner. While the wait for the food is a little longer than some places, it’s only because everything is truly made from scratch and worth every second. The incredible food and incredibly pleasant, helpful service make this an absolute must-visit. Highly recommend!

Amber Fowler I come here all the time! I love karaoke night which is Thursdays, but recently my friends and I have started playing dungeons and dragons sunday evenings and Monica has helped us both times. She was awesome. Anything we needed she was quick to bring but did not linger, making us feel comfortable while playing our game. We will request Monice every time now! Good food, good prices and GREAT service!
