Big Daddy's Bar-B-Q
Big Daddy's Bar-B-Q is a barbeque restaurant located at 407 Main Street in Warrior.
The restaurant is owned by Paul Woodward, a former mortgage banker who moved from Chicago in the 1990s. Big Daddy's has been open since 2006, an offshoot of Woodward's catering business. The restaurant is closed Wednesdays and Sundays.
In 2008 and 2009, Big Daddy's took the gold medal in a best ribs contest by The Birmingham News. Big Daddy's is also known for its homemade desserts, made by Woodward's daughter, assistant manager Shandi Woodward, using her maternal grandmother's recipes.
Big Daddy's kitchen and smoke house were destroyed by a fire on May 24, 2010. The restaurant was closed for almost seven months for repairs.
In 2017 Woodward bought Greg's Hot Dogs two hot dog carts that operate in downtown Birmingham and near UAB.
