Big Daddy's BBQ & Soul Food has been a cherished culinary destination in Columbia, Missouri, since its inception in 2014. Founded by Lloyd and Fontella Henry, the restaurant continues a family legacy of exceptional barbecue that began over three decades ago with Lloyd's Ribhouse. At their original location on Garth Avenue, patrons are welcomed into a warm, homestyle atmosphere, complete with a spacious patio that invites guests to relax and savor the rich flavors of their barbecue offerings.

In early 2022, Big Daddy's expanded to a second location on Paris Road, broadening their reach within the community. Beyond their brick-and-mortar establishments, they operate a food truck and mobile trailer, bringing their mouth-watering dishes to events and catering engagements across the area. This growth has been fueled primarily by enthusiastic word-of-mouth, a testament to their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Whether you're dining in, taking out, or enjoying their cuisine at a catered event, Big Daddy's BBQ & Soul Food promises an unforgettable experience that will have you returning for more.
