I've been to this and other Bad Daddy's so many times I cannot believe I've never written a review. The restaurant is pretty much a "restaurant in a sports bar" setting. In earlier visits I always gotten a burger and my wife, a burger or a salad of some type. There are many burger varieties on the menu or you can "create your own" using a provided list of available ingredients and toppings. They have also introduced a "smash burgerI". I much prefer a big hunk of meat rare or medium rare which you cannot achieve when you order smash burgers. What ever I've ordered in the past was cooked perfectly and tasted great (which is why I keep coming back when in a Bad Daddy's market). For the last few visits, I've gravitated to "Kim's Honey Chicken" which is a wonderfully flavored spiced honey and jalapeño ranch sandwich. Probably my favorite chicken sandwich anywhere except for when I'm in Nashville. My wife has enjoyed the perfectly cooked burgers but has lately done the "build your own" salad". Much like the burgers, there is a list of things you would expect and a lot that you wouldn't expect to choose from when ordering as salad. Service is always great as well. read more

Bar and grill type vibe offering many types of burgers - beef, chicken, salmon and, black bean with all the fixins, salads, shakes, soft drinks, bottled and draft beers. Seating inside and outside is available. Placed an order for the Bistro Burger (smoked bacon, smoked gouda cheese, grilled onions, arugula and avocado spread) and onion rings. Ordered to go from the bar and food came out d'Esther quickly. Overall, the meal hit the spot. read more

Bad Daddy's does it again! Despite being VERY busy on Veterans Day because of the free Veterans Meal they graciously offer to those that served, the service was attentive and efficient! The food was also fantastic! My burger was so delicious! They have a great craft beer selection too so this is definitely my kind of place! Bad Daddy's is certainly one of the best places to get a nice burger that's reasonably priced as well! They have many chef inspired burgers to choose from or you can build your own. The burgers are always perfectly cooked with a slight crunch to the outside that makes them really stand out above other places. One thing that I really like is that you can choose most any side without an up charge. For instance, last time I was there I got the Ceasar salad and it was quite good. I love fries (who doesn't?!) but being able to choose other sides allows me to balance things out some as I try to limit the amount of fried foods that I consume. They have craft beer and a full bar and the drinks are reasonably priced. I ordered a spicy margarita and it was very tasty! I have been several times but I'm just now writing this review. In summary, Bad Daddy's is a great place to grab a nice burger in a casual but very nice atmosphere. I want to give a BIG shoutout to them for recognizing our veterans with a free burger on Veterans Day! Cheers! read more

Bad Daddy's food is consistently good. I have been here a few times and each time the food is on point. The service sometimes can be hit or miss but food wise, this place is solid. I went with the Steakhouse Smashburger and fries. Burger was cooked properly and delicious. Fries were crispy and on point. Service at the beginning was fantastic but started to get a bit shaky at the end but like I said it's hit or miss but the food is great. Go get yourself a burger at Bad Daddy's. read more

What's better than a burger bar with over 50 different toppings, chicken, beef, turkey, or impossible patties???? NOTHING!!! This place is a burger lovers paradise! I can get my burger MY WAY... Turkey Burger w/ cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, grilled onions and avocado and everything is always so fresh, hot, delicious and most importantly my patty is always moist!!! The service was great and this location had an Oreo Cheesecake that was soooo good, I bought one to take home. It had a very fluffy texture and a super creamy and light sour cream taste!! My son joined me because he also loves this restaurant and is always trying to outdo his last burger combo!! Just look at the pics and trust me when I say Bad Daddy's Burger Bar is one of the best restaurant decisions I've ever made! read more

Stopped by Bad Daddy's Burger Bar for watching sports and a delicious burger. I created my own burger and added the slaw on top with the Bad Daddy Burger sauce -- absolute must-try. The sauce is amazing on the burger and also perfect for dipping the tater tots. They have an abundance of toppings and sauces to add on your burger. As for the tots, they were crispy on the outside. Everything tasted fresh and came out hot. Casual vibe and great comfort food! read more

It was definitively a BAD burger - tasted like a defrosted burger from the supermarket. The sweet potato fries were undercooked. The hand cut fries were good. Wouldn't try again read more

Hey, I'm very impressed with this place. The food was exceptional. The price is decent. The staff did a good job. We had the deviled eggs and fried pickles for appetizers. The deviled eggs were very good. I had the heat burger and it lives up to its name. Not a complaint from our party highly recommend Emily did a very good job! read more

Bad Daddy's Burger Bar has CRAVE-ABLE food! My husband loves their Smashburger. I usually order the Cantina Black Bean Burger and I order it crispy fried (you can do it grilled) and has Monterey Jack cheese, green chiles, avocado, and chipotle ranch dressing, or the great Texican Chicken Salad. The salad has buttermilk fried chicken atop a crispy bed of fresh Romaine lettuce, cilantro, red onion, tomato, black beans, corn and tortilla strips in their house made chipotle ranch dressing. Their selection of draft beers is good, and the service is always excellent! It is a loud, lively, family restaurant and bar. The music they play is great classic rock. What a great place! read more

Ok tried Bad Daddy Burgers Ballantyne - I haven't been here in a decade and really enjoyed it. All this food $30. Bad Ass Burger, customized, Double Angus burger, tomato, pickles, onions, mushrooms, bacon, asked for my brioche bun to be toasted. Burgers Medium. Onion rings, homemade chips with pimento cheese and their version of coleslaw, which is shredded lettuce with like a special sauce and I think I tasted if not white wine vinegar then maybe a little bit of pickle juice, but I couldn't be sure. Really enjoyed everything, especially believe it or not the pimento cheese to dip the chips - and the chips were excellent! I couldn't finish it all and embarrassed to admit I had to eat some of it with a fork and knife. It was so big. But all in all a good burger and a good meal. I really enjoyed the seasoning on the burger as well as the sides. I didn't have to add any salt and really didn't need any condiments personally. I did put the shredded lettuce coleslaw on my burger as I cut it and it was perfect for me. I think if anything I will order a single next time so that I could pick it up and I'll do extra pickles. Service was excellent no issues. And actually? I went with her recommendations on a couple of things and she was honest and spot on so I appreciated that! read more

Always a hit at Bad Daddy's. We were surprised we didn't have to wait on a Sunday! Incredible staff & stellar service every time. Pro tip: order the truffle Parmesan fries as an appetizer. The portion is easily enough for 4 & will last you your entire meal, so you can try one of there other delicious sides! They have notepads to create your own burger or create your own salad! I always get the CYO Salad & add fried chicken tenders (oops). Yes. Before you ask. Their ranch is drinkable :D Thanks Bad Daddy's! read more

Time for Da Burger Muchacho to review Bad Daddy's burgers. As a purist, I went for the All-American with American cheese. The meat was cooked to point and was very juicy, classic burger feeling in a well balanced bun to paddy ratio, I find the bread to be a little big for my taste, but not bad. Cheese was a little lackluster, hard to find and taste... i did miss the creaminess of the melty american cheese, i think the cheese portion should be a bit bigger to balance the flavor or the meat. Fresh veggies were crisp and added nice texture to the burger. It also comes prepared with ketchup and mustard. Overall I give Bad Daddy's a 30 minute rating. read more

We showed up on a busy Saturday asking for a table for 16. Tara kindly assisted us and somehow made it work. Amyra was our waitress and she was fabulous. The food was hot and tasty. We all ordered different things and it all came out quickly and correctly. We have eaten at this location many times and mostly with large parties and the service and food is ALWAYS consistent. We sat on the patio and it was nice and warm in there. They have heaters and they will adjust it if you ask. Another great visit and we will be back! THANK YOU TARA!! read more

I created my own Berger with 7oz angus beef medium rare with Monterrey jack cheese lettuce tomato mayo it was delicious!!! I shared with my daughter and the fried were fresh tastes as if they made it in-house. The chipotle sauce it came on the side was also delicious very tasteful. The tenderness and flavor for the patty was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Ambience if like a bar burger joint. The lemonade is extremely sweet, not natural, I got an additional cup added half water for me. Very casual and looks like there is space to accommodate big parties. Not sure about reservations. Plenty parking space, it's in a mall with supermarket nearby. If you are craving a burger this place will satisfy your taste buds. read more

We were in town for the day and stopped in for the first time. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the music. We tried the fried pickles appetizer and there were PLENTY and they were good. Would have loved a little more ranch with them. We loved the multiple protein options for each hamburger because my husband only eats turkey burgers and typically doesn't have many options. But everything was an option for him there. I ordered a tricked out hamburger. The only down side was their version of medium rare was very different than what I was used to (I'm from far away and I just didn't realize there would be that much of a difference). But the waitress realized I was taken aback and called it to the manager's attention even though I wasn't complaining. And the manager made it right. That's a great culture of customer service right there. I highly recommend you check this place out. We were glad we did. read more

This place is a must try! Not only am I a sucker for CYO (create your own) items but the food is also really good. You can CYO shake, salad, and burger. Guess what? I did all three. I ordered a raspberry flavored with strawberries milkshake all time fan fav reminds me of frosted freeze if you are a Bay Area native. I ordered a CYO salad you can add a total of 7 toppings not including the dressing. They recommend 4 toppings, 1 cheese, 1 fruit & 1 crunch. Want extra? You can add more for only 75c per ingredient. Definitely a refreshing item before my juicy, grease burger. Last of the CYO items, I ordered a burger and it as yummy-- sauteed onions and mushrooms, smoked gouda cheese ( which I think they forgot) pickles, lettuce, and tomato. Without the cheese the patty was dry but with all the add in it was dripping yet good. I had to get the garlic parmesan truffle fries and omg they were good! Perfect pairing with my burger. I also ordered the not your mama's deviled eggs, they were a little dry for my liking. My server Qamarah was amazing, so sweet and attentive. The restaurant is family friendly so bring the whole fam. Its loud and the games are on there is so much to enjoy here. read more

Nice burger joint! The food came out fast and how. The server was attentive and friendly. The food itself was tasty. I had the classic BD burger with tater tots. The burger was tender but most imported tots were golden and delicious! My guy switched his to bison and that was good as well. It was a busy location but we didn't have to wait to be seated and it didn't feel cramped. Only feedback is that the table/seating was not wiped down well. read more

Very disappointing on many levels. The Oktoberfest pretzel appetizer was the only thing that was any good. The sweet potato fries were cold, the onion rings looked different than usual but they were also cold and unseasoned. The burger I ordered was not hot. The kids chicken tenders are overdone and tough. 1/4 of what was ordered was acceptable. The server was half out of it and dazed/hazed and couldn't be bothered to check in after the food arrived. Couldn't even get a drink refill. When he did finally show up we just decided to get togo boxes and reheat the food later. It was an early dinner and wasn't crowded so I can only assume it is now their MO to take customers for granted. You are better off going to a drive-thru. read more

Hostess is not welcoming. Our server was upbeat and really helpful and attentive. Before Covid, our family of 5 went frequently, and really liked it. 3 years ago, Thanksgiving time, I took an out of towner there. I ordered my usual Black Bean Burger, it arrived like an uncooked pile of mush. It was so unappetizing that I was given a coupon in the amount of 20-25$. My guest's meal was good according to her. The following morning, I was so ill that I couldn't get up to wish her a safe trip Back. This lasted 3 days. Reflecting back on it, I'm sure it was as a result of my BD visit. I did return the other day and enjoyed my meal....Black Bean Burger. Hopefully, It continues to be yummy. read more

At this point, I've been to Bad Daddy's so much I need to invest in their stock options. It's always amazing. Somehow, they always have the same hostess. Years and years with the same hostess, and she's fantastic. Everything that everyone at my table orders, food and drinks, is always perfection. And we've never had a bad server. What's left to say? read more

If I want a good burger this is my go to. Always good, Always consistent. I love the make your own burger and salad option. And the house made American cheese is a must if ordering a burger. It's always a hard choice to decide between Tots, Chips with French Onion Dip (old school) or Onion Rings -All are tasty. The one thing where no choice is needed...the Chocolate Milkshake. Just yum and now I'm drooling . One final note- when I get it to go or even delivered it Is always the correct order and the food always comes packaged well.

I love visiting Bad Daddy's! The food and service is consistently great. The atmosphere is casual, and inviting. Great for groups of 2 - 6 people. This restaurant is always buzzing with customers, So you know the food has to be good! Let's talk food: You can never go wrong with ordering from their seasonal menu. There's always fun and exciting options to choose from. The portions are generous, and worth the moderate price point. The regular menu has something for everyone even salads. I highly recommend ordering the truffle fries with any burger - ask your server about the dipping sauce options. The chipotle ranch is my favorite. There's a kids menu available, with a coloring page. Good options to choose from. I recently dined here with my daughter, she's 2 yrs old. I ordered the Mac & cheese with tots and apple juice. She didn't care for the tots (which were delish) the Mac & cheese was her favorite! The drinks - specifically the margaritas are a party in a glass. There are non-alcoholic options available also. read more

I placed an order through DoorDash tonight since I work a long 10 hr overnight shift and almost everything here is closed around the time I arrive for my shift. I ordered a Salmon Caesar Salad and a small order of onion rings. My order arrived timely from my driver but much to my surprise I get inside my building and to my desk only to open my UNSEALED bag of food to see none of the items I ordered in the bag. Instead of my salad and onion rings, they gave me a stale burger with dried out tater tots, a banana pudding (I'm allergic to bananas so thanks for that) and a container of Mac n Cheese. I can't reorder on DoorDash because the time to place new orders has already passed. Thank god I was able to get my refund from DoorDash but I can't place a new order and drive to pick it up because cause not only did I JUST clock in for work at 9pm but I don't have my vehicle tonight. I should have looked at the reviews on here and DoorDash before I ordered. I didn't stop to see that most reviews are 3 stars or less. This was my first time ordering from this place and will absolutely be my last. Add Bad Daddy's to the ever growing list of horrible food choices/establishments that have been disappointing me ever since I moved to Charlotte about 6 months ago. read more

I've eaten at this location 3x and 2 of those visits were amazing. This one...so disappointing! Ironically I had raved about it to my wife and the one time I brought her...it was bad. Ordered buffalo burger medium well, fries and tots. I even asked the waitress which way to order the meat and she said they tend toward the rarer side so Medium Well. First, the food came out in literally 5 minutes. I thought for sure they'd gotten us mixed up with another table. How can you cook and prepare a buffalo burger in 5 minutes? The burger was bright red all the way through. We ordered a gluten free bun and it was HARD like very stale hard. Fries & tots were fine. I'm having a hard time imagining going back. read more

We wanted to try something new on this trip and to our luck Bad daddy's was In the direction we were headed. We got a table outside and began to order drinks. We it came time to order food it went pretty smoothly. The overall flavor of the food was delicious the burgers here are phenomenal! The fried pickle were so flavorful and crunchy. The chick sandwich was okay the sauce threw me off a bit it just tasted like sweet vinegar. The fried bacon for an extra $3 was not worth it just tasted like flour and bacon grease. But it was still a good meal. read more

Was craving a burger so we ordered food from here. - cheeseburger: soggy bottom, dry burger. Super disappointing. I ate a few bites and then gave up - tater tots and fries: neither very good and I wonder if they were fried in peanut oil bc they had an odd taste - wings: cooked well but so bland. We ordered Thai chili and it had zero kick and flavor. - chicken tenders: delicious when they were hot but then not as good once they'd cooled down. - onion rings: delicious Overall, not worth the calories! read more

I came here on a weeknight. As soon as we entered we were greeted and seated. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. There's plenty of parking in the shared parking lot on the street.

One word to describe this establishment. Phenomenal. We have skipped over this place a few times because we weren't in a "burger" mood but let me tell you. Explore the menu!! We found out they have chicken sandwiches too and holy tamale!!!! Qamarah was our host and took us on a journey through the menu. Her honesty and suggestions for dipping sauces complimented the menu items incredibly well. We started with the fried pickles. While we are huge pickle connoisseurs we dove right into the experience. They came with a side of regular ranch but try out the chipotle ranch as it takes you on a walk on the wild side!!! My wife and I split a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Big mistake. Get your own sandwich!!!! Omg it was in amazing. The sandwich was crispy and had a good texture to the crunch vs taste of the chicken. We asked for extra pickles of course. For our side we opted for sweet potato fries and bad daddy's sauce. Definitely our go to from Now on. I will tell you this. We are sad it took us this long to find our new favorite spot. By far the BEST fried pickles in Charlotte!! And if you don't think so come find me and I'll convince you. read more

Recently came here for a takeout order as they had a special I really wanted to try. Service was fast and early before the promised time! What I got: Fried Deviled Eggs - these were good, but we had just had them from another restaurant, and I was left wanting the others. Had I not had the others, I probably would have been impressed. Fried Mozzarella Burger - oh my goodness was this good! Loved the big mozzarella on top with the tomato jam. Burger was flavorful too. Would love to see this on the permanent menu! Fresh cut fries - love their fries! I really enjoy Bad Daddy's and would recommend this as a burger option in the area! read more
