im a highschooler that lives in niles down by hacienda and i can tell you that all us teens would love to see a place that we can all eat and hang together, on our way to the secret sidewalk or to the river i always look in the old lot and try to imagine a burger joint with neon lights and cool cars out front…like something out of american graffiti, i wish that no a days there were more places like that with night life instead of me looking down the road and seein nothing but darkness so my opinion may mean nothing but dont go home just let us come over and hang out the youth today would really appreciate something to do other than staying at home and mischeif

Big Dad’s was tradition…when I lived near Niles and would leave to backpack Yosemite for the week, it was the last “civilized” meal we would have before trying to live on trout. We loved the people and the place and agree with the Mayor that you can’t go home again….BUT it might work and I would love to see something resuscitate Joe’s

Does anybody recall who used to own Big Daddy’s?

No Big Daddys is in the works. But you can get a decent Dosa for under $5 at the Kragen’s strip mall in Irvington. Yum!

Is Fremont going to put up a Big Daddys?
I also used to go to the one on 84 and niles.

I miss the Friday night cruise nights. We used to look forward and take all week to make sure the old Chevy was clean and ready for the trip down Mission from Hayward to Big Daddy’s. Can not immitate and can not duplicate!

Sounds like I gotta try a “Big Daddy” burger . . . .
When did Fudruckers close ? Ate there several times for lunch over the last many years – but didn’t know they were closed – remodeling perhaps ?

I’ll add the Nations Burger to the list . .. . not too far from the Argus offices, too – stop by and tell Matt A. that you’ve come to claim the wine glass he’s been holding for you.

Speaking of burgers, though no comparison to Big Daddy’s, the Fuddruckers at Union Landing is now open again. We were headed to Fresh Choice for lunch, saw this, and put salad plans on hold. The cashier said they’ve been open for around two weeks. The place was crowded, too.
