Big Daddy's, Sanford - Closed

I had lunch at this Drive In restaurant near the 46a intersection on 17-92 on Friday. It used to be the Rib Shack and was something else in between. It has been open for a week. I had a 1/4 fried chicken that came with fries, cole slaw and rice for $4.75 and a BBQ pork sandwich to go for $3.45. The chicken was juicy with a thin crust. It was freshly fried (20 minute wait time). It was a breast and a wing. The fries were crisp. The cole slaw was a bit sweet for me. They cut the cabbage in tiny squares. The rice was flavored with a lot or butter or butter substitute, dill and probably chicken stock. The pork was good. It had a touch of bbq sauce. The place expands its smallish (40 seats) dining room by serving people who park their cars in their lot. It's an old time car hop. The service (4) was attentive and no waitress is dedicated to only one section. They have fried seafood, ice cream, burgers, sandwiches, wings, and even chicken livers. The interior is decked out in 50's memorabilia. The structure is worn, but, it makes it feel like a "real' joint. It was about half full. The prices are low and the value is good. There's not much choice in the area, so hopefully they will succeed where others have failed. They only take cash.
