On Saturday, September 5, 2020 local pit master Donald Lee (center) and his staff celebrated the grand opening of Big Daddys BBQ and Soulfood at 2730 N. Humboldt Blvd., which formerly housed Milwaukee Beer Bistro. Lee, who has been perfecting the art of barbecue since he was 18 years old, said he’s excited to open another brick and mortar restaurant after serving his food via pop-ups throughout the city for the past couple of years.
At the grand opening there was face painting, live music, and a book bags and school supplies giveaway. Big Daddys is open Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Brunch will be offered on Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 10 a.m. and a soul food menu will be available for Sunday dinner.
