This little neighborhood spot is a neighborhood gem! The food is excellent and each tapas plate is enough to share, as we did with a group of four. We were able to sample a number of dishes and were completely satisfied! The bar is fully stocked and the bartender did an outstanding job on our cocktails. The staff is friendly and very attentive and accommodating. I highly recommend!

This was our second time there, celebrating my birthday. Pappa Gallo is a perfect place. Can't say enough good things about this place. From the moment we arrived we were treated like we were so welcomed. From the host, to the waitress everyone was so attentive. The food is impeccable. The white wine sangria was delicious. Thank you so much for making my night as wonderful as can be. Can't wait to go back.

I celebrated my birthday with a large group of people here. Our waiter served all of us, along with his entire section. It did take a while but understandably so as we were a large group. He made recommendations for food and beverages, which did not disappoint.

Great food. The steak tacos is the best. Guacamole is great. Its 20$ but the serving size is huge compared to other restaurants. Very fresh. Juan and Jose are awesome. Went there for restaurant week. Im glad I did. Will be back for more tacos and fajitas.

    Big Daddy’s is one of the only restaurants on Long Island that offers Cajun/Creole cooking. The servers are great! We were able to get the preferred seating specified on the reservations in a timely fashion - which is HUGE on a Friday night! Also, the kitchen accommodated my gluten allergy. And, the music was cool!
