Was in town for a video shoot and found them on google and zipped down 15 minutes before closing. They came out, explained how to order, then let us see the menu. They were super pleasant and we had our food in under 10 minutes of arrival.I got The Danny Burger because I had no idea what it was and it was pretty good. It’s a tangy ketchup-y sauce poured over the burger and together it kind of tastes like meatloaf but I mean that in a good way.Very affordable and very tasty

This place has the best staff, both girls were super quick polite n helpful! Food was good prices ,I had the chicken breast(which was actually slices) sandwich and fries . My husband had fried fish n chips, he said it was goodbut small pieces compared to ehere we usually go. The fries are just McCain type but were crispy. Excellent price for what you get with a unique atmosphere of a drive up dinner.

The Big D is a local icon. Our parents brought us there and i brought my kid. They will probably bring their kids. The food is alway good, served fast and fresh. The taste is constant and good. This place is a no brainer when your hungry but don't know where to go, The Big D is the answer.
