Some of the most amazing burgers around. They cook them to your liking and the choices are great or you can build your own. Staff is friendly and treat you like you are important. They have a small bar area and a big dining room with plenty of seating. It has a bar feel without all the chaos. If you're a burger lover then this place would be a great experience. Stop in and try them, you won't be dissatisfied! read more

It is my birthday month and it was the perfect time to swing by Bad Daddy's. It had been a while since I stopped by so I owed them an updated review. I got my order to go. I ordered at the bar and the food was ready in 12 minutes. I got the Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids. OMG. This burger was so good. I ordered mine Medium so it would reheat well the next day. They did prepare it wrong but it was soooo good. It comes with a ton of jalapeno & smoked applewood bacon, monterey jack cheese, homemade bacon mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion slices and 2 strips of sandwich pickles. It comes with a classic side and I opted for the fries. The fries were a little over cooked and greasy but still nice and soft like I prefer. Next time I may upgrade for a salad instead of the fries. I can't do a lot of greasy food these day. But overall I will definitely get this burger again. read more

Been going here for many years mainly for takeout (great service, great results most all the time). A recent trip was terrible though. I watched for around 45 mins as everyone around me was served their food including people who came in long after I did. When my food finally arrived the waitress explained "The kitchen was backed up". Only for me I guess. One positive is that I noted the health grade was 98; a big improvement over past years where it was in the low 90s. But due to this lapse in service, very unlikely I'll go here again anytime soon for dine-in. read more

Only go there if you want to watch a manager yell at people sitting at the bar. Then, come to find out it's totally normal for her to be a hot head and scream. That's a fun work environment. Very loud. Not worth having dinner ruined by a manager. read more

I always forget to write a review for Bad Daddy's so here ya go! I've been going to BD for years and it seems that they have been tweaking the menu, offerings and trying to just hone in on what they want to be going forward. My latest visit it seems they've gone back to including a side with their burgers and sandwiches. They had discontinued that for a while. Here's why I come back.... Always friendly and attentive service, open later than a lot of other places, very customizable menu, decent drink options, daily specials and a pretty solid burger. Ask about their specials, they don't tend to promote them very well imo. The deviled egg app is a great one to share and apps are half price the two hours before close. Pictured is a create your own burger on a lettuce wrap with fries, and a single smash burger with the fruit side. read more

We've had mixed experiences at the bad daddy's in Greensboro, but the Winston Salem location had it going on! We showed up right when church let out on a Sunday but that didn't deter them from great service and delicious food. We went against the grain and didn't order a burger - we had the wings for appetizer and cheesesteak and hot honey sandwich for entree with Parmesan truffle fries and sweet potato fries. I swear I still think about that drippy hot honey sandwich. And the Parmesan truffle fries are unmatched. If we are visiting bad daddy's it will definitely be at this Winston Salem location! read more

The food here is great - the service amazing. We love going here and appreciate all the hard work of the staff.

I don't know what they are adding to their burgers, but everything is way too salty now. We had to return the fried pickles (each of us ate one and could not eat another because of the amount of salt or maybe msg, who knows). Very rude and unwelcoming front desk hostess. That young girl, should definitely be trained again. read more

Can't believe I waited this long to review this lively place with great pub food choices! I have been several times since my last review, and I really like the concept here - BYO - burgers, sandwiches, salads! I'm not a sports bar kind of person, maybe at an earlier time, in a different place - but that ship has sailed! I come in for an early lunch on a week day, knowing there is some risk in that since most restaurants that open at 11AM are understaffed, many still dealing with service prep items - I've hit my share of speed bumps, but I almost alway get fed. I built my own fried chicken sandwich, beginning with their very large buttermilk fried breast, adding lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles, with a side of their excellent Onion Straws! I cut this large sandwich in half, and add a commercial hot sauce (I prefer Frank's) to the half I'll eat at the restaurant. Between the large sandwich and the plentiful onion straws, I'll have 2 well sized meals. Best fried chicken in the area by far, and a great value. On another visit I built my own burger - double Smash Burger, Classic Carolina style, meaning it was topped with cheese, chopped white onion, slaw, chili, and mustard. This can be a messy, but well worth the experience. Onion straws, of course, with the great dipping sauce! And the fries, chili, and fried pickles are excellent. I really like the burgers and the fried chicken sandwich here. Only place that comes close to either on an upscale basis is Sixty Six Grill. There are a number of diner style burgers that are good, as well - Culver's, Bobo's, Alex, and a few more. As always, it is about how much do you want, and how much do you want to pay. If I pay $12 for a burger with a side, and get two full meals, I smile! read more

Big Daddy's is exactly what it says it is. It's a good spot for fried food, ok spot for watching games (except TV's are small), and you might have to hop on the staff to get the right game. They do not have NFL Sunday ticket just the nationwide games. My kids gobbled up all of their burgers and fries so they were happy. Wife was a little bummed about the wine selections as it's 3 offerings from Barefoot. Overall just a meh and move along. They have plenty of other spots but not sure I would try based on this experience. read more

I'm a few weeks late posting this review, so here goes. Visited BDBR, and listen, that burger was banging. So it was a Turkey burger being that my family doesn't eat red meat. I was nervous thinking it would not be good, but it was amazing good!! So good I'm ready to go back! I'm plain with my burgers, so I only had caramelized onions, A1 sauce and American cheese. It was sooo good, onions cooked just right, burger cooked right and bun was toasted!The truffle fries were good as well, although I was thinking they would have some sort of sauce on them. The ambiance was nice, music playing in background, our waitress Jada was nice and very knowledgeable as well. I'd definitely go back again and would recommend this place to others! read more

Between the food and the drinks there is sure to be something you'll love. The burger was flavorful and very delicious.

Whether dinner or lunch! read more

We came here on a Saturday as a group of 3 around 5pm and ended up waiting 20 minutes to be seated. There was a decent crowd, but they did were quick with bringing out our food. The atmosphere is your normal burger bar type setting. I ordered a build your own burger and didn't realize until after I ordered that they had a pad at the table that you fill out specifically for build your own. I enjoyed my burger, but would have wanted more aioli on it. I ordered the caramelized onion one. My side was tater tots and they were well made. Their house ranch, not the bad daddy one, was super yummy. The bad daddy ranch was fine, just not my preference. I also tried their homemade lemonade and it was amazing! My husband enjoyed his the smokehouse burger and added jalapeños. He said the Mac and cheese was not bad, but more average. I ordered chicken tenders, fruit, and chocolate milk for my son. I think the chicken tenders were a bit too crispy. Overall, this was my first time here but I would add it to my rotation of restaurants to come back to! read more

We got a gift card for Christmas so we went in for dinner. We got seated right away on a high top in the bar for a Saturday night which was great and they were busy. The music was a little too loud but this is just personal preference. My husband got the bad ass burger with a side of onion rings and I got the frenchie with a side of fries. We got the queso to start. The queso was fine. It lacked some flavor. The bad ass burger was impressive but it wasn't very good. The fried bacon was all batter. My frenchie was good and I enjoyed the fries a lot. The price overall was pretty expensive and I'd rather go somewhere else for that price point honestly. read more

Dinner time on Fathers Day was probably not the best time to decide to spontaneously stop in to Bad Daddy's but as a party of two we were able to pass up all the larger parties and grab a seat at the bar without waiting at all. As a self proclaimed smash burger expert I can't tell you how happy I was to see they had a couple smash burgers as a summer special. There were two options. Both sounded delicious but what I was craving tonight was more traditional toppings. Luckily our server/bartender let me know I could order a create-your-own smash burger so that is exactly what I did. I topped mine with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and garlic mayo. My husband ordered one of the summer special smash burgers- the Steakhouse-as a double patty and got a side of house chips which we shared. Our burgers came out in about 15 min. The minute I saw it I knew it was going to be a good smash burgers. That wonderful characteristic lacy crispy edges were visible hanging over the edge of the bun and one nibble of the burger patty let me know it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I ate every messy bite and my single patty was just right for my appetite. We had wonderful and attentive service the whole time and I highly recommended sitting at the bar if you have a small party. You'll get great service and the same great food. read more

I have been here a few times the burgers are always on point. The restaurant has always been clean and the wait staff friendly,

Awesome food and staff!! We bring all of our out of town guests here!! Best bloody Mary's too!! Never lets us down!!

I stopped by Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, when I walked in, the server greeted me and let me know the bar was open for orders and carry-out. I sat at the bar, where the bartender handled bar and table service. She told me she was the only one working in both areas, which I appreciated. Despite that, the food came out in a reasonably timely manner. They had a solid beer list on tap, and Thursday happened to be half-off appetizers, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the blackened salmon Burger--though I'd call it more of a sandwich since it's served on toast. It was good; however, when it arrived, only one side had the bun, with the salmon facing up and the top piece missing. I asked the bartender, and she told me they forgot to toast the bun, but it seemed obvious, the sandwich was missing a whole piece of toast being served to me open-face. She offered to have a new one made, but that never happened. When I followed up, she said they would bring me another bun. I thought I would get another sandwich because someone sent a sandwich back just to "add accessories." As for the appetizers, I tried the crispy verde fries (basically fried peppers). They were okay, but not something I'd order again. On the other hand, the homemade potato chips with dip were excellent. One day, I might try Bad Daddy's again, maybe at a different location when they are fully staffed for lunch, and that's about it read more

Pretty meh Burger was messy- best I can say Big Daddy is lucky there isn't a Shake Shack in the vicinity read more

Once again they delivered!!! This is the best burger place in Winston Salem without a doubt. It is shocking for me to say that out loud, trust me. I am not a fan of chain restaurants but the local places I hav, do NOT know how to cook a Med. Rare burger. I mean, come on, it's not rocket science, but they can't do it. This place, HAS NEVER MISSED! Every time o order a burger it is spot on! Service is always great, it gets a bit noisy at times but all fine for what you get in return. Keep up the great work. I tip my had to the cooks. #solid. read more

A friend and I stopped into Bad Daddy's Burger Bar in Winston Salem. I've eaten here plenty of other times, so I know what to expect. For a Friday, sinner time, we got a table fairly quickly, and were waited on by Shayla, who was super nice and available. Really good service. My friend had a burger. Bad Daddy's makes great burgers. I was eyeing the bison burger, but ended up getting a Greek salad. The salad isn't a legit Greek salad, more Greek-esque... but it was still quite good. It had some grilled chicken on top and had a bunch of the Greek salad ingredients that one would expect, kalamata olives, onions, feta cheese, tomato, cucumbers, pepperoncinos, and surprisingly, chick-peas. The dressing was Greek-ish as well, lemony and tasty. It was a good salad Possibly my first salad at Bad Daddy's. I'll come back. read more

We ate at bad daddy's got the first time in a couple years, and the food was as good as ever. We sat in the outside dining area and the table was a wee bit sticky but I did see them spray down another table after they finished, maybe just the cleaner dries tacky but it was a bit of a turn off. An employee also came out and vaped like ten feet away from us.. But the food really was great, I got the Philly and my kids had really nice quality chicken tenders and the bacon cheeseburger on steroids, which was pretty good. I enjoyed my side salad too. Overall a fairly good chain restaurant experience, read more

You would think I wouldn't give such a terrible review by my pictures of my food. My burger was messy but good. My mother in law's burger was delicious. She didn't like her fries but I really liked my onion rings. The problem was the burger and onion rings I ordered to go, to bring home for my husband. It was awful and the onion rings were totally soggy and not cooked. It was as if they didn't have consequences for to go orders. I actually called to speak to the manager and he said to me " what would you like me to do about it ". I said absolutely nothing. Maybe, just maybe this is the issue. read more

The service was great here and the food tasted great. That being said, I don't feel like it was worth the money. The burger I got was rather small and to add a side was another $3.50, which was only a small bowl of tater tots. They do have a great beer and cocktail selection and the atmosphere was super chill. Other than that, this seemed like your typical overpriced chain restaurant. read more

We were looking for a place to eat with a few options and not too overwhelming so we decided to try Bad Daddy's. I'm glad we did. We didn't know what to expect but it exceeded our expectations. I tried a smash burger for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! It was very good! Our server was very friendly and attentive the entire time. Shout out to Ashley! The Bad Daddy's House Sauce is nothing to play with! . We will be definitely be going back. read more

Bad Daddys is a restaurant I highly recommend. The food is always delicious and offers alot of great options. My wife ordered the meal called Sam I am, which is a burger with a Egg on top. I ordered a custom burger off the make your own section. Chose the turkey burger with cheddar cheese on sour dough bread. We both ordered the house chips with ranch dressing. The waitress was kind and helpful. Parking was easy and the restaurant was clean and decorated in a sports bar style. read more

We always have great food here ! I've never had a single complaint about the quality of what we order & that's why we keep going back! This last trip however, my only gripe is that our waitress was less than mediocre in keeping us informed on WHY it was taking WAY TOO LONG to receive our food. She also never inquired if we wanted another beverage. Then the chef came out with her to deliver it & I'm not quite sure why 'cause he didn't exactly explain anything he made one snide comment & walked off. It was soooo awkward & unnecessary. I walked away completely turned off by the whole experience. read more

The burgers were amazing! Love the create your own option. The service was great as well. Perfect lunch spot

I was in the mood for a good burger and this place never disappoints. We decided to build a burger. There are so many unique topping options to make a tasty burger like avocado creama, jalapeño bacon, poblano pepper mayo, and fried jalapenos and arugula (just to name a few). The onion rings are always big and delicious. We have not gotten a shake before, but I hear they are delicious! There are also non-meat options for the "burger" and gluten free option for the bun. If you are interested in trying adult beverages, they offer a margarita flight that sounds adventurous. It is a kid friendly place too (especially with the milk shakes). read more

We were shopping in the area of Hanes Mall and found ourselves hungry so we looked at options nearby. Bad Daddy's gets positive reviews so we decided to check them out. We learned they are part of a smaller chain which began in 2007 in Charlotte, NC. They currently have locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Colorado and one in Oklahoma. The kitchen was in the back and there was a bar area on one side with table seating on the other side. They also some outdoor seating. They have lots of TV's scattered throughout. We were seated at a table close to the kitchen, provided menus and offered drinks. We both just wanted water and it was brought out to us in a timely fashion. We checked out the menu and my wife decided to get Kim's Honey Chicken Sandwich, while I chose Nick's Patty Melt with taters tots as a side. My wife used the restroom while we waited for our burgers and said that it was filthy from top to bottom. She felt the daily/weekly/monthly cleaning was being neglected which makes us question the cleanliness of the kitchen area, etc. Our burgers arrived a short while later and looked really good. My wife enjoyed the chicken sandwich but it didn't blow her socks off. The sauce was similar to Frank's Red Hot but not as spicy which she appreciated. I also felt the Patty Melt and tater tots were just okay but I really liked their Bad Daddy sauce. It is a BBQ sauce with mayo blend. The service was a bit slow but we honestly got the impression that was no fault of our server, she was hustling and it appeared they were either short staffed or she was spread too thin. I would say based on our overall experience we will not be rushing back. We also feel the cleanliness of the restrooms at a minimum need to be addressed. read more

Really really great burgers here! Not only are the burgers on the menu great, they also have a build your own burger option. And if you're vegetarian but feeling a burger, you can build a burger with an Impossible patty or replace the patty on any of the burgers on the menu, for a few bucks extra. Or they have a house made black bean patty that you can sub in no charge! The place is a bit loud, and the decor is pretty standard burger bar stuff, but the bathroom is pretty clean and the wait staff are really nice. We came for a birthday the first time we were here and they told us if we sign up for their email list, we can get dinner free for the next birthday! Little bit on the higher end price wise, but pretty worth it when you're wanting a great burger. ;) read more
