| Chicago native Ron Newman owns this ramshackle spot that is named in honor of his late father-in-law, whose image as a young man graces the menu. The place is known for its Q wraps, little fried morsels of dough enclosing barbecue, but many target the ribs, served with a Midwestern-style, thick sauce. The hot sauce is better than the mild. Collard greens are first-rate. Red beans and rice comes with sausage as a main dish or without meat as a side item. Pulled pork has some sauce already mixed in, but tasting so good we won’t complain. The place serves beer as its only alcohol. Daddy D'z is home to barbecue and blues on the weekends in summer upon occasion; call ahead to check the schedule as the blues used to be more frequent here. Desserts include classic Southern fare, such as sweet potato pie. |
