    Went here Wednesday for lunch a little after 12:30 pm, no wait time and only a decent amount of people inside. Quick service from the waitress. She was also very attentive. I loved the decor inside and the wall art hanging by our booth. To drink, I tried the Daddy's Dragonberry (10/10) very refreshing and fruity. It was also strong and gave a good buzz. To eat, we started with an Onion Rings basket (10/10) they were hot and fresh and the sauce served with them was yummy. I also ordered the Bistro burger with Parmesan truffle fries (10/10) my burger was flavorful, all of the toppings meshed well together and the fries were fresh and crispy. My meal was sooo good!! Def will be back when I'm in North Carolina again! My overall rate of experience : 10/10

    For some reason I expected better... Positives: great for families, large groups, sporting events. Flatscreens throughout They have a bar Not so positives: service was really slow and blah. After my order came out, waitress did not check up on me, walked past me several times without saying a word. Food: I'd say 7/10. It wasn't bad at all, but I've had better burgers. I also asked if they had turkey burgers...sorry no. Overall, I would come here again since I'm local. I would not come here if it takes you more than 10-15 minutes. There's plenty of parking. Be warned, lunch time hours it gets really busy.

    Fast and casual, but quality ingredients. Bad daddy's is a great place to come after church or if you're in a hurry. The burgers are really good and they load up the toppings. My wife and I usually get the build your own burger with fries or onion rings. The bad daddies sauce compliments the burgers really well but all their sauces are bomb. The onion rings are nicely battered and crispy. I always want a milkshake but can't justify spending $8 on one. Maybe one day I'll come by for just a shake and fries.

    We stopped in for the last day of burger week. Kaci was excellent! She was attentive and patient as our kids ordered. She was helpful and answered questions, and checked on us frequently. Food was cooked well. All 5 of us cleaned our plates even the kids! Will return again

    The food was great and came out quick. The server was nice and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance is sports bar so it can be a bit loud but I enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

    We used to love this place. I decided to come here last Saturday. The restaurant was busy. We were greeted nicely by the host. Sat at a half booth, half chairs, near bar. Sweet tea for drinks and needed about 10 minutes to order. I created a custom burger with wheat bun, grilled chicken, gouda cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo. I added sautéed mushroom, onions, avocado, pickled jalapeños and wrote "on the side" beside them. Side was sweet potato fries. My friend ordered bacon on steroids burger, medium well. Medium well should be slightly charred and light brown, some slight pink color. We waited at least thirty minutes on our food to come without asking about it. When it arrived it looked like the pictures. Mine wheat bun had mustard and mayonnaise on it. Neither of us asked for that in out order. The crushed avacodo was brown. I immediately took it off my plate because it looked disgusting. You could tell our food had sat out on the counter because it was not even warm. Our waitress did not bring us our food so we had to wait longer to let her know the order was wrong. I actually had to wave her down to get her attention as she did not refill our drinks the whole time. When I let her know what was wrong with our order, she was rude to me and took back the top of my bun and said she would get me a new one. She did bring me sliced avacodo because when she looked she said all of the smashed avacodos were brown in back?! I left her a $5 tip and this review 2 stars for just that. While she was gone getting me a bun, we noticed that the burger on steroids was not cooked medium well. It looked rare. I cut my sandwich in half after I had a new bun and shared it with my friend as their burger was inedible. The manager was assisting other tables around us, and we decided to pay for a meal and politely leave.

    Food was delicious and hot. Came out very quickly. The bacon and Brie bites weren't my favorite but we replaced them for fried pickles without any issues. Ambience is of a sports bar. Very clean and staff is very friendly. This is my 2nd time here and it will not be my last

    Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids

    This was my first experience at Bad Daddy's, and it definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids and added a fried egg, which took it completely over the top. The jalapeño bacon and bacon mayo were absolutely incredible. Hands down, the best burger I've had in North Carolina so far.

    I highly recommend! Service was friendly and attentive! Ambiance was clean and comfy, great for dinner with friends and family. I built my own Turkey burger with a side of sweet potato fries. My turkey burger was delicious and my sweet potato fries were a bit cooler than I like would have preferred them hot and fresh. I had a strawberry bad ass margarita which was delicious. I hope you enjoy Bad Daddy's as much as me and I look forward to returning!

    So far, so good. I just placed my order to go, they let me make modifications. I like that. It is a little chilly in here, bring a jacket. Very spacious though, they have indoor and outdoor dining. I got the heatwave burger, a salad, and their "famous" banana pudding which I can't wait to try. Once I get home with my food, I'll update the review and let you know how everything taste. **** EVERYTHING WAS DELISH! Highly recommend! *** Only reason for 4 is the service at the host stand was mediocre, wasn't greeted bc the girls were chatting amongst themselves.

    This place is really busy on the weekends. I stopped by with my family on a Saturday night and they were able to seat us in about 35 minutes. I really enjoyed my food. I ordered a burger and fries and had the wings as an appetizer. Everything I ate was delicious. It's a little on the smaller side as in I felt a little cramped at our booth. The service was great! I recommend you give them a try.

    Great excellent friendly service. My fiancé and I sat at the bar. Loved the lime $5 margaritas! The bison burger was amazing can't wait to come back here to try different burger combinations. My fiance won the side contest. The homemade chips are a must over the sweet potato tots. The sweet potato tots were good but a little sweet. My fiancé made his own burger with cheese and a beef patty and bacon, he really liked it. Oh and the starter we had was the mozzarella sticks. Super yum and the marinara sauce was absolute delicious

    My husband and I ate at Bad Daddy's and were pretty excited to finally try it. I ordered the Stack n Smash burger and added a fried egg, onions, and lettuce with fries. My husband got the hot burger. I can't remember the name but he said it was fantastic... he said the tater tots were really good as well. My burger was good! I could only eat half though. It was pretty messy and falling apart, so halfway through I was over it lol. We did order the fried verde fries. They were really good! Loved the jalapeño ranch. My husband ordered whatever the $4 beer is, and he said it wasn't bad. I ordered the LIIT drink with tour tequila. It was pretty tasty, just stronger than I would have thought it would have been. Overall, it was a good experience. Our server was nice so that was a plus. Idk that we will go out of our way to eat here again, but it was definitely priced right for the amount of food you get.

    Ask the Community - Bad Daddy's Burger Bar

    Are their fries not seasoned anymore? Last couple of times they didn't taste it

    We still season our fries the same way per our recipe. it's possible that we had a new team member who didn't use enough of the seasoning. We apologize for that and hope to have you back soon!

    Did they get rid of the seasoning on the fries?

    I don't remember there being any seasoning on them the last time we were there. They were burnt and greasy though, unfortunately.

    Can anyone take a bite of these super big burgers?

    Nope!! In fact, I often get the lettuce wrap instead of a bun and cut it up into a burger salad. 😊

It's seat-yourself, so we had to pull a couple tables together to fit everyone. One thing to note: it was very warm inside, so I'd recommend sitting toward the back where it's more comfortable. My boys really enjoy this place, so I wanted to like it more, but the food was just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. Most items run about $14.99-$21.99, even appetizers are at entrée prices. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries appetizer ($15.99) after hearing they were "fire." The steak had good flavor, but the portion was light--fine for sharing, but not very filling. One entree, Big Dipper ($15.49), a roast beef seemed overcooked and there wasn't much meat on a large bun. Two people from the table ordered pizza. Neither ate more than 2 pieces. On the positive side, the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of options on tap and in bottles and cans--from Guinness to local IPAs. The atmosphere is also unique: plates cover the walls and ceiling from guests who've completed their beer challenge, which makes for a fun, quirky vibe you really have to see in person. Dart boards for those who want to be a bit more active. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and atmosphere, but the food and pricing didn't quite match the experience for me.

I ordered a large pep pizza (that was half off) and a "hog" sampler. The mozzarella sticks are very long. They were fresh but slightly overcooked and flavorless, honestly. The cheese on top was almost pointless as it didn't add flavor and it fell off immediately. The quesadilla was tasty. The garlic parm wings were crispy and cooked well but the sauce was different... it wasn't nasty but not what was expected. After a conversation with the waitress, she knew it was different. In these cases, I believe the servers should tell customers that versus letting them find out after the fact. The pizza came at 9:30pm and tbh, it wasn't the best lol. It was mainly for the boys and they ate it with no issues. It was subpar to me and I was disappointed. The service was inconsistent with attentiveness which was another bummer considering it wasn't busy at all. It's unlikely I would return.

The restaurant was a ghost town on a Sunday evening. Maybe everyone is still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? Since there were 3 of us, we opted for an order of 3 tenders, 3 sliders, and 3 fry flavors. It was definitely enough for us to all share. The tenders were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was good. I picked the Green Flag slider with bacon and pickles, very tasty. The little burger was cooked perfectly. For the fries we went with beer cheese and bacon, MW dusted, and Cajun. The Cajun were the best of the 3. The MW dust is a little on the sweet side which I didn't mind because I was dipping mine in the leftover sweet chili sauce. I was hoping to be able to pick tots as one of the 3 options but it was fries or tots, no mixing. I was also a little disappointed that the entrees options did not come with any sides. Since they were dead, the hostess was also our server. She was sweet. She answered all of our questions with ease. She didn't check back as much as I would have preferred for refills and the check but it wasn't a terrible wait. I think I was just ready to hit the road for the long ride home.

The servers were appropriately dressed (other driver owned restaurants may lack this) and helpful. They have good beer on tap that I believe is brewed there. My husband loved his burger. My sauced tenders were good. I liked the bacon cheese fries and the dusted fries. Know that sides are extra with the exception of kids meals. We will be back.
