    Unfortunately this is not the same establishment as it was when it first opened. The food quality and cleanliness standards have declined over the years. I went this past Thursday with two friends and it took us over and hour and a half to order, eat and pay (eg not a quick work lunch). I ordered a make your own burger, the turkey burger seemed frozen and not freshly made. The tater tots were good, however my friend's buttermilk fried bacon was nothing but grease and looked like chicken tenders. Also, the fried pickles came in a pile of grease. Additionally, the restaurant needs to be deep cleaned as there were dead flies on the windowsill and the bathroom, even at 11 AM, was not well-maintained. Also, the waitstaff needs uniforms. Our server was wearing some pants that showed a lot of her skin and we did not appreciate looking at her backside while we were eating. Maybe other locations still have high standards but this is not one of them.

    The burgers are really good. They have several suggested configurations or they have extensive options if you want to build your own burger. Our waitress was very friendly and she came by often to check on us and to refill our drinks. The prices are comparable to other burger restaurants.

    This place has the absolutely best sweet potato fries ever. I had the Cheeseburger on steroids and it was amazing. I would recommend your really hungry because you get plenty of food for your money!!!

    Turkey burgers are delicious 😋 Onion rings are cooked to perfection. Husband loved the tater tots. Margarita could have used more liquor but it was good. Will definitely return.

    Come for the burgers and wings only. You can create your burgers and they were awesome. The French fries were not cooked. It was like biting into a raw potato. The waitress switched me out for tots, but did not remove the $2 up charge for truffle fries (they were just regular fries with grated cheese dumped on top. Don’t order this). All 3 of my son’s fries were also raw but they were full off other stuff. The milkshakes were great too. I had the “Bailey’s” but saw the bottle they poured from was not actually Baileys. The servers seemed dreary. It was throwing off the whole vibe off going out to have a fun night. I don’t live in the area, but I won’t return.

    Stopped in for a quick dinner the other night. I had the black bean burger with tater tots and my son had the BD’s All American with sweet potato fries. Clean plate club. Good stuff. 👍🏻

    Burgers were well cooked and that's where the positivity ends. Had such a good meal last time had to stop by when back in town, my mistake. Walked in to trash on the floor and a sauce refilling operation in the middle of the restaurant. The sauce (little cups in pics) was taken from a two gallon container and placed into single serve cups. Besides being unsightly, they were left uncovered for entire visit (unsanitary). The server was unprofessional. Ordered fries with burger another big mistake. Not sure you can tell from pic but the small fry bowl wasn't even filled and for $3 no less. The battered bacon was chewy and helped turn burger into a mess in no time. Will probably not return considering all the choices in area.

    Excellent choice for our family tonight! The service was fast and friendly! Food was delicious. My daughter absolutely loved the Mac and cheese. Bathrooms were not the cleanest. Our waiter very personable! Would definitely come again when in the Charlotte area!!

    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is absolutely immaculate. Specifically Carter and Rod. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. I wasn’t sure what I wanted since it was my first time, and Rod was super patient and even helpful in making me make the right choice. When I asked him what toppings he recommends he was 100% honest. Not to mention Carter’s great customer service. I feel like I got way more than I deserved for what I paid just from the experience that Rod and Carter gave me and my family. Highly Recommend!!!

    THE SERVICE HERE IS A1 ! Our food was fresh and Hot! We ordered the build your own salad and some fried pickles as an appetizer. The restrooms were clean and welcoming as well ☺️ I would definitely say this restaurant is family-friendly. I don’t believe they had a kids menu but a side of Mac & broccoli did my little one great !

    My wife and I decided to make the the last place we had dinner at while in North Carolina from our last experience with them on a previous trip. The main draw was the House Made Chips with French Onion dip. I order the Bacon Cheese burger on Steroids and my wife had Daddys Philly with a side of House Made Chips. The waiter said that they were out of the chips, Wait-What!! Seriously. If the are House made then potatoes is all you need. Send someone to the grocery store. Understand, this was 5 pm in a Friday and they are out of potatoes? The food we got was good as the service was just ok, would have been 5 stars if not for the absence of the house made chips and the lack of attention from our server.

    Oh my gosh! What can I say about the burgers but delish! I ordered the "build your own" burger and for someone who's boring when it comes to food, I was able to build an awesome monster out of a burger. Would highly recommend!

    Could not get over the SMELL of this place. One of the worst smells I've ever come across. It was so bad I almost could not eat . And it's because the restaurant has CARPET. It smells like beer, piss, a skating rink and bad decisions in this place. It needs a total remodel. The bathrooms are in front of the kitchen. The staff was just all sitting at the bar when I arrived. Horrible atmosphere inside this place with no ventilation. Can't imagine what a good inspector would find that's making that horrible stinch. It's a shame too. The place had one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. But I would never return. Maybe, only after a total renovation . But I doubt I'd return. Too many other places I want to try. And that smell inside is from many many days or years of choosing not to clean your restaurant. Unexcused for me 👋👋

    The server was very polite and stayed on top of things. The kitchen was very slow. The food was great though. We used to have a Bad Daddy's in my home town and I remembered how much I missed it after visiting. I love that they have so many options for toppings on the biluild your own burger.

  • 1/5 Yelena M. 5 months ago on Google
    Short horror story - it was so salty we couldn’t eat it. If it was just me you could say it’s a preference thing, but 3 people? Tots were good, both portions of chicken were just salt, salt and more salt. Didn’t taste like chicken, or batter, just salt. For almost $50 for 2 portions of chicken and tots, this is unacceptable.

    Had a nice lunch here. Service and food was good.

    My husband's feedback from our take out order today: Ordered and paid online for pickup. The food was supposed to be ready at 7:50. I arrived at 7:45. Told upon entry that they were running behind and that my order would be another 15 minutes. While there, many orders came and went and each time they apologized for the wait. I sat patiently, knowing they were behind. I waited 45 minutes. Finally someone asked me what order I was waiting for and found my order waiting. My food had been ready but do not know how long because my name was never called. I live about 5 minutes away and the food was barely warm, with the exception of the broccoli that was warm and perfectly cooked. My burger was overcooked, but my wife’s was fine. Maybe I should have been more pushy but I was being understanding to a point. It's unfortunate because I've enjoyed the food on past visits.

    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. Also, I want to give a shoutout to them for recognizing our veterans with a free burger on the Friday before Veterans Day. Cheers!

    Well ordered DoorDash and the order came with wilted and smiley lettuce. We called the store and let them know about the food. The store replaced the order and we went to pickup. Upon returning home this order was even worse. Over cooked chicken, missing salad dressing and smiley spinach and iceberg. Do better Bad Daddy’s

  • 5/5 Jennifer C. 1 year ago on Google
    The tater tot appetizer was delish, the large order was more than enough for 3 people. We did the “build your own” options for the burgers and they were all really good. Service was fast and friendly.

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
