    lettuce wrapped grilled chicken with provolone cheese, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard and salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing
    Sydney C.

    service and place was amazing! our server was very friendly and helpful. the booth was clean and we were waited on with no problems. the food was good - my chicken lettuce wrap was very tasty but my friend has ordered their seasonal bratwurst burger and said it was only ok. but we were given our food in a timely manner and it was all hot and freshly prepared. would come back.

    Western Buffalo burger with tater tots and an Old Fashioned.

    Great food and great bartender Anndru! The football game was on the screen and the music was the right volume to not make you scream at others.

    Standard cheeseburger
    Michelle M.

    We're on a mission this summer to find the best standard cheeseburger in Chattanooga area. This was stop #2. This is a solid burger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and ketchup. They use the long "sandwich" slice pickles & I would prefer the chip style. Ordered med, it was slightly under in one spot but not enough to send back. Tots were a good choice and a shareable size.

    Build your own burger with onion rings!

    Nothing overwhelming about the overall experience. The burger was good, but not anything to crave. Pretty much what you would expect from a sports bar. Definitely would not be opposed to returning for a beer or two, but I would probably not steer anyone here for a dining experience.

    Great spot for some greasy burgers and tasty appetizers! Not pictured were the unique and flavorful deep-fried deviled eggs we got as an appetizer which is a MUST try. Bad Daddy's has lots of space inside and outside as well on their patio. We found their patio to be a bit too hot today but the inside was great with the AC. The staff is kind, quick, and shows true Southern hospitality. I would highly recommend you try the deep-fried deviled eggs, the onion rings, and a side of their chipotle ranch for your fries. My burger was fine but I tried my husband's Emilio Chicken Sandwich and that was a much better entree and I'd order that next time. Hope you like this place as much as I did!

    Greasy house made chips
    Michelle C.

    We ate a Bad Daddy's location in Fort Collins, Colorado and loved it. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We are finishing a road trip and saw a Bad Daddy's location in Chattanooga. It was 15 minutes out of our way but our kids begged us to stop. We decided to do an online Togo order. Arrived at the location to pick it up and the bartender let us know she would go back to check on it in a few minutes. She proceeded to mosey around the bar and about 10 minutes later someone else brought the order to us. I checked that the correct amount of items were in the bag. It was missing a kid drink but I didn't say anything as we didn't really need it. Got back to the RV to eat and noticed that one of the burgers was missing the tomato and bacon and was served lettuce wrapped on brown lettuce. An order of the house made potato chips looked like they were tripled fried sat in grease overnight. We ate 3 orders of the same chips in Colorado so we were very disappointed. We walked back into the restaurant and were told by the bartender that is how the chips always look. I asked if they could try to cook another order and she went back to the kitchen. We waited by the bar for 15 minutes and then she came back with two slices of tomato and some bacon. She also had the original container of chips in her hand and said they were unable to redo them as it would take 1 and 1/2 hours. She gave us a card for a free appetizer and $20 off. Nice gesture but overall feeling is not impressed with this location. We gave the free cards to another family walking in as we will not be back.

    So first of all - kudos to me for picking this place. I was looking for a place both my hubby and his assistant coach would like - AND something I could eat, too. When I saw the basic offerings and specifically, the MILKSHAKE, I knew Sweetie would love it! He is a milkshake fiend and needed one after a long day. On top of that - we were HUNGRY! It ended up only being the two of us. I followed the GPS directions to the restaurant from the ball field - near to our hotel. The front of the building looked rather small - so I was very surprised when we stepped inside and I saw how BIG it was. We were seated right away - it being rather late - after the dinner rush I'm guessing. The waitress took our order and since it was late - and they didn't have caffeine free diet cola (didn't expect them too) - I just got a water. Sweetie got a lemonade AND a milkshake (although, is that a drink, a dessert, or an entree?) When the waitress brought our drinks (lemonade and water only), she took our orders. Sweetie built his own burger PLUS deviled eggs. I decided to build my own salad. The food came out in a fair amount of time - eggs, entrees and milkshake. Sweetie was very pleased with his eggs (saving about half the order to take to go) and his burger and fries. I was SUPER glad I DIY'd the salad. I absolutely loved everything in it - even though the items may not go well together. It was like the PERFECT salad. I really hope Bad Daddys comes to Central Ohio - OR - a local restaurant at home offers this DIY salad. And, of course, Sweetie was over the moon with his milkshake. A great way to end the day after a trying time on the softball fields. I normally would have picked up the bill (and Sweetie pays for the rest of our travel costs) - BUT he rather pigged out v my one entree so I let him pay. I'm sure it was NOT CHEAP. But this was one meal that I would say was well worth it. Would I return here?! ABSOLUTELY!! Highly recommend (I do not often give 5 stars!)

    Do they have a gluten-free menu, or what are the gluten free options? I will be visiting next week and have to eat gluten free.

    They have a HUGE menu of sammiches and salads, you probably should just call them as they don't publish and obvious GF menu, but I would be surprised if they don't have options

    Are the fried pickles spicy?

    Not that I remember. Very good & a large portion!

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.
