I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids with a well done patty on 5/26/24 at 7:58pm via Door Dash for $37.75 total (that doesn’t includes Door Dashes charges). Not only did my burger not have ANY bacon, my burger was very pink in the middle. I left a bad review on Door Dash and I am following up on here and Google. And Yelp too. I’m not sure who was working tonight around 730-8pm, but they should be fired. This was my first and absolute last time ever eating here. Didn’t cook my burger AND didn’t give me any bacon on a burger that’s called BACON CHEESEBURGER ON STEROIDS. Luckily, my other order was semi right, still didn’t have any bacon, but the burger was cooked well done because she’s NINE MONTHS PREGNANT‼️‼️ This is less than a one star service and I’m happy I’m not the man that I used to be. YOU ALL WONT EVER GET ANOTHER CENT FOR ME. And I’m calling door dash to investigate this because I want my money back‼️‼️‼️ I’ve never been so disrespected by a restaurant in my life. Just horrible.

This place was a good stop for lunch. We were a group of 6 and were seated easily. We were visiting through the week during our spring break so that probably helped. Service was good. Burgers were really good. My only complaint was they were out of a few draft beers I wanted to try. But overall it was good. I would recommend it. 👌🏼

So many different ways you can have a burger and it’s just mind boggling and mouth dropping. Whether you’re someone who needs an impossible burger or prefer a chicken over beef burger Bad Daddys Burger Bar has it. I won’t lie the service seemed rush, but the quality of the food sure made up for that. Interesting environment for sure. You can see a lot of work was put into it. The rustic metal/wood theme meets all the nostalgic pictures is fun and warm. Would recommend giving it a try for sure.

50/50 Some appetizers were good. Same with the Burgers. Great happy hour deals. Went on a week night. I Heard Fri. and Sat.night is a little busier. I Will definitely be back to try some other options. Also Posters on the walls Brought back memories of spending a lot of alone time in my bedroom as a kid😂 Thanks

Had a taste for a burger tonight. For the appetizer I had the spicy thai chilli wings which were delicious. I also ordered the bacon cheeseburger, cooked well done with all the toppings. The meat was very flavorful, with the toppings creating the extra tasteful texture with the meat. The fries were delicious, I added the malt vinegar to the fries which made them even better. Definitely a family friendly environment.

The food was amazing. I love the "make your own burger" option. The atmosphere was lively, and the food came out fast. I highly recommend.

So the burgers here are pretty good! Build a burger is a fun time. The service is a little slow- our drinks never got refilled. The fries are nothing special. But overall we enjoyed our time.

Our server was amazing. She constantly checked on us to see if we were good. I love the attentiveness the food, however, was a different story. The salad dressing that I chose for my salad was not very good so I couldn’t finish my salad. The salmon plate that I chose for my entree had burnt bacon on top. The salmon with chewy and the sauce was extremely hot.

This was out 2nd time at this restaurant. The first wasn't the best experience. But this time was different. One thing would have dropped the rating but I'll tell you later why it's 5 stars. Upon entrance we waited at the hostess stand. A waitress said she was going to find the hostess, approx 3 mins she said she couldn't fine her and would be sitting us.. well the hostess showed up to seat us. The first thing we notice was the open kitchen concept. It's always a plus to see a clean kitchen with plenty of workers. Our waitress was Jade. Omg I just love her name :-)! She is a beautiful person, she is a friendly and welcoming. She knows the menu and confidently answers any question you may have. The appetizers and food came out together which was really quick. The appetizers are half off the last 2 hours until close. Deviled eggs- I read a lot of reviews that suggested this as an appetizer. It was different, wish it was seasoned a little more. The Frenchie turkey patty was the absolute best turkey burger I had. So juicy, seasoned to perfection and the hidden gem was the grilled apple (I never had this) . The turkey sandwich is a must try!! Trust me!! You will love it. The patty melt, did exactly what the name says, melt in your mouth. The turkey patty was moist, juicy and seasoned exceptionally well. Overall the experience was a great experience.

This place was just okay in my opinion.After attempting to go to two other restaurants that were surprisingly closed we landed on this spot after a quick yelp search for open places to eat close to where we were. Surprisingly this place was pretty packed, maybe since lots of other places around being closed. While the place was packed the service was decently paced considering they seemed to have minimal staff for the amount of patrons. My stepmom and I got the Emilio's chicken and my stepsister got the impossible burger. Overall we all enjoyed our food but nothing to write home about. If I happen to be in the area again I wouldn't be opposed to giving this place another try as the ambiance was nice maybe just try a different menu item

Yall I was so disappointed. Now when I tell yall, I LOVE bad daddy's, but for some reason they were so sad this time. Now I have gone to bad daddy's all over and specifically this location multiple times, and i don't know what was wrong. Yesterday I got there at about 6 pm, it was fairly busy but not enough to think things shouldn't go smoothly. I went with a couple friends, and I waited 10 minutes before the waitress even came for me to order drinks. When my friends finally came, she took a long time to come back to us. We ordered and she read everything back to us. We waited over 10 minutes for an appetizer to find out they took it to the wrong table and when she asked the kitchen to rush another order... it never came ! Now I ordered the cyo burger and sweet potato fries and my order was fine. But they never brought our sauces out until we asked for them about 3 times, both my friends ordered truffle Parmesan fries and they were cold, Parmesan not even melted on the fries, they sent it back and the second order never came. My friend asked for more lettuce for her lettuce wrap burger and yall, why did the waitress come out with ONE piece of lettuce!? Her wife asked for a new bun for her burger because the original had ketchup burnt into her bun when she asked for the ketchup on the side. When we asked for the manager, I believe his name was Kent, he seemed very quick to make us "hurry up" and tell him what the problem was instead of actually listening to what the issue was. Very rude. We spoke to the waitress and she said the kitchen was giving her a hard time, service has been like this, she knew not to bring our food looking the way it was but she brought it anyways. When we asked for the manager again to see how we can rectify the problem, it took him ages to get back to us but he finally came back and took the appetizer and fries off the check and additional $17 off due to slow service. He also gave a $20 coupon which we used for the bill. We asked for a box for my friends burger and the waitress never brought it to us until she got up and asked for it again! We had to get two different waitresses to get our waitress on two different occasions because she hardly ever checked on us. At least 5 tables that sat down after us, ate , checked out and got up and left before us. We were there for almost 2 hours unnecessarily. I never post bad reviews like this but it was just too terrible not to post my experience. I may give them another chance because I love their food, but service wise, they need to do better from the waitress, kitchen and management.

I decided to try them out again and this time the visit was much better. I tried the "Fear.Movie.Lions." IPA by Stone and boy was it tasty! And not a bad price (about $7.50) for a 16oz pour and the abv is about 7.5%. The burger was huge. Mostly because the tomato and red onion were cut very thick (about twice as thick as the cooked patty.). But the patty was juicy and well seasoned. I really couldn't tell the difference between the regular bacon and the jalapeno bacon but that didn't really matter because the bacon was perfectly crispy just way I like it.

This place sucked. Visiting from out of town. My brother told me to "run while I still can", but I didn't listen. The AC wasn't working - a note on the front door would have been a kind warning to patrons. We were not given napkins/ utensils upon being seated. Had to ask. If you order a burger, there's no side included. Rip off. However, my husband ordered a side of onion rings and was given THREE. He said something to who I assume was the manager. He was kind and brought him extra for the mistake. I ordered an old fashioned and the ice cube was half way melted by the time I got it. It was a $13 drink and probably one of the worst I have had - even used the wrong kind of cherry. I ordered sliders. If they had been cooked through (they were medium and I was never asked how I wanted them cooked), they would have been good. My son ordered a kids burger and a side of fruit. The fruit was hot. It must have been put under a warmer with the burger for a while. I left with my kid early. The rest of my husband's order / burger was fine. Nothing earth shattering. Adding that they did comp our food. We did appreciate that, and the manager was good and even tempered. Not an easy job... I just cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. I really wanted this to be a good experience.

Actually was a pretty good burger! I had the magic mushroom burger on gluten free bun and I enjoyed it soo much. It was a Monday early afternoon so I have no idea what the crowd is really like both with the parking and the crowd as that can be a potential annoyance. My waiter was cool kind and helpful. There was a gluten free menu as well upon request which I always love.

Ordered 4 burgers to go. NOT ONE WAS PREPARED Correctly!!! It was even worse because the grandkids didn't want specific things. They totally screwed it all up.

Our experience was terrible. We were a group of 5 adults + a toddler, so not a large entourage. We were seated promptly and everyone fit into a booth. We arrived after the lunch rush to a restaurant that was one-third full, so there weren't tons of orders being worked on in the kitchen. Everyone ordered off the menu (no "special" requests) and the server was pleasant as the orders were placed. Where did it all go wrong? After the order was placed, our server probably went off to take care of other tables. She disappeared for 15 minutes and returned without any food, but dropped off our drinks. I specified that my milkshake be brought with my burger, but figured our food would arrive shortly. Thirty-five minutes later when my burger arrived, my $5 milkshake was melted sludge. I ordered a Magic Mushroom burger that looked promising but arrived with so few mushrooms (and all button; no wild mushrooms in sight), it needed a name change. It was also cold as were the fries that accompanied it. The cheese had been melted, so it was hot at some point, just not when it was brought to me. After waiting for nearly an hour (53 minutes), when the food arrived, no one's order was correct. We switched things around, but the food was still cold. We wanted a premium burger experience, but received weak excuses (you arrived after a big rush) and no promises of a replacement meal. The hostess encouraged us to "come back and give us another try", but I don't think we will.

We went on a weekday afternoon, before happy hour and there were several tables, but not too busy. We weren't too hungry so we decided to split a slider plate and some pickle fries. The kitchen seemed pretty busy, but service was a bit slow? It took approximately 15-20 minutes for the burgers to come out, which wasn't unexpected, the sad part was even after killing the burgers the pickle fries never came out. The disappointing part was the lady who was waiting on us, never followed through, we asked her midway through eating our sliders to check with the kitchen about the pickle fries and she never got back to us. We asked her to remove the pickle fries from our order, she offered to us to see if we wanted to take them to go, but that defeated the purpose as we wanted them as an "appetizer" to our main, but the lack of follow through or concern that the kitchen either forgot/never made our order was not what we expected from a well loved establishment. The burgers weren't bad, but the lack of concern for a missing order or offering to remedy the concern left us with the feeling that we weren't valued. We personally won't be back. It may be better to just place an online order, or call for takeaway, but service in house wasn't good :(

I've been to this Bad Daddy's several times and I've had a great experience. I typically build my own burger so I know it's to my liking. The chipotle ranch is delicious and I have to have an extra cup for my fries! Apps: The BBQ nachos are great if you enjoy bbq sauce, now I get it on the side so I can measure how much I like. Their margaritas don't miss! They are soooo good and a nice portion.

Stopped in for lunch and they did not disappoint! This restaurant is located conveniently off Forest Drive with decent parking. We were greeted as we arrived and seated promptly. I chose to build your own burger and my partner got a chicken sandwich that had guacamole and pepper jack cheese. We also got some house fries and a few cocktails. I specifically got the dragon bearing. Everything was absolutely spectacular. The bad daddy sauce is definitely a hit hands-down one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time, the manager even came to our table to check on our experience which was a great touch. We will definitely be back.

We showed up with a party of 12. We asked to sit in a particular section, and they prepared the area for us. When we arrived, they were not very busy, but it picked up quickly. We started with fried pickles. This is the first time I have had them made from sandwich slice pickles. Everyone loved them. Our server was quite attentive. She brought out our drinks and kept them full. All of the food came out hot. If you do not see what you want on the menu, you can use the make your own burger or salad menu. They even let us bring in a cake for a birthday and kept it in the fridge until we needed it. Very good place for a party.

Nice selection of food to choose from - there is something you'll like. I went with chicken tenders and tater tots. Those tots are 10/10. The tenders were, wait for it... tender and juicy. I didn't love their chipotle ranch dressing. It had the kick but no real ranch flavor. Service was quick and friendly. It was busy but we never felt ignored. The place has the sports bar meets family restaurant vibes. It works.

Bil Z.

Yelp
Okay, the only problem with this restaurant is that it is not near me. Luckily, it is near my sister's, so we can pop in there whenever we visit her. The food selection is great, and the food is excellent. Moderately priced, and the service was spot on - neither intrusive nor slow. It's a fun atmosphere, and nice for people-watching. Family friendly as well.

Yelp
Started with the truffle fries... spot on. My dining partner went with a burger as she doesn't stay far, but she reported back that it was delicious and so filling that she took half back to our hotel. Myself I ordered the chicken Thai slaw special and it was amazing.... And do yourself a favor and order the tater tots.

I don't even know where to begin with this review. But I will NEVER set foot back in this establishment nor will ever recommend this place!!!!! Went for my birthday dinner tonight with my husband and our 3 year old son; started off the bat where we weren't greeted right away by a server for almost 10 min and the place was empty. My son is on the spectrum , so he deals with sensory overload and was having a meltdown because he was hungry, we were doing our best to keep him calm ; even letting the server know to put his food in first so he can eat sooner. Food service was incredibly slow and I had a guy from this establishment ( not sure if he was a manager) come to our table because people were complaining about his crying and we needed to do something about it. I never felt more appalled. If you simply do NOT want children allowed in this establishment put a sign on the door. I use to be a server for the nicest restaurants; and we would never deal with any children like this and their families. The packed our food up to go. I didn't even wanna pay for any of it. And, to make things worse.. my son's food was burnt and cold like it was just sitting there. This place should be ashamed of itself to treat children with special needs and their families like this.

The first thing I noticed was the obnoxious, overpowering cleaner smell. I appreciate a very clean place but they need to tone down the smell. We were seated pretty quickly. We requested to sample a beer on the menu - the waitress came back and said they were out of that beer. We placed our drink order from the bar - we waited over 10 minutes for two beers. We ordered the special Cowboy burger with fries and sliders with broccoli. The food took over 45 minutes to come out - guess what?!?! The fries were old and cold. I would expect food that takes that long to be delivered to be hot. We flagged the waitress down to let her know the fries were cold and she said yea like she already knew but did not care and brought them to the table anyway. She did bring hot fries back. The broccoli was cold also but by this time didn't want to wait on more. The sliders were tasty but were made very sloppily and the onions were only placed on half the sliders with the other half hanging out of the bun. The cowboy burger was tasty along with the chili that came on it. The burger was cooked the way it was ordered - medium. The table was never cleared and we waited about 15 minutes to pay the bill. Overall we were there for about 1.5 hours - too long for the food we ordered.

This place is going down hill fast. Cold food, Luke warm beer, the ones they have in stock. It's becoming an epidemic with new restaurants. They do well for about 2 years and then turn to crap.

These burgers were very delicious. My husband loves a good portion size and Bad Daddy's did not disappoint. We sat at the bar since the hostess was absent and had a good time with Wyatt the bartender. We both did decided to create our own burgers for our favorite toppings. Food came out pretty quickly and everything was seasoned well. If there was a game on this would be the place to watch and relax. Military discount are offered. On a return trip to Columbia, we'll return.

Came here for lunch with a coworker that recently retired. I'd heard about this spot but had never been here before. They have a wide variety of burgers and also non-burger options. The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time and the food was delicious. I will be back to try more of their menu.

Jamita H.

Yelp
Me and my cousin stopped by here after she made it in town. Wanted a good burger. This pastrami burger is really good. I also had truffle fries. First, our waiter was great! From Boston....super cool. He was prompt, he was cool, and attentive. He brings out our order and the food was really fresh. The burger was smoking hot. The fries were pretty warm. The burger itself was not very flavorful. Not seasoned at all. I think the items on it is supposed to make up for the flavor missing in the burger and it didn't. The fries were good. I ordered my daughter food before leaving and we got on down. Fun night, good food, good atmosphere! Just really wanted more flavor in this burger.

Rachel P.

This was our first visit to Bad Daddy's, a decision made after reviewing the positive reviews. Our experience was very different than what I was expecting. It took 15 minutes to have our drink order taken, then another 15 minutes for the order. Overall it was about 45min before we got our food. We ordered the deviled eggs which were very dry and unforgettable. The burgers were fine however my partners was made incorrectly and the server took 10 minutes to return to check on us and we were not wanting to wait another 20 minutes to have it remade he just ate it. The children's cheeseburger needs to be renamed a children's slider. I am overall disappointed and will not be returning.

We love this places burgers, my husband has been here first with coworkers and brought me and although they did mess up my order a little, they fixed it and my food still was good. Even though one customer stated through my soul but he probably isn't use to seeing mixed race people as he was nearly 80, but I stared right back and waved lol. Other than that, the atmosphere was nice and the server was super helpful.

Mike S.

Yelp
Just...don't. We mobile ordered to bring back to our hotel. Menu looked great and we were excited. On the plus side? Kids mac and cheese was delicious. Tater tots might've been okay except they were packaged badly and were very soggy 25 minutes after our pick-up time. The beef burgers were just okay--but they weren't put together well and were visually unappealing. The Texicana salad we ordered with chicken came with no chicken. Took over 20 minutes on the phone and being put on hold and having to call back to finally get a manager to remove the charge for the salad. Even with the chicken for the price would've been a pretty depressing salad. And in terms of bad, there was a really strange taste for both the black bean burger and the broccoli. The best way to describe it would be to say it tasted like mildew. Overall would be hard to recommend this place less--maybe if you're desperate and like mac and cheese!

Roll up your sleeves and get ready for this delicious mess! Finally crossing this place off the list of restaurants that have been recommended. We decided to order Bistro Burger and BD all American burger Side of sweet potato fries and house made chips. Husband got a beer and I stuck to my water but next time I'll have to get a margarita they sounded delicious. While these burgers were quite literally two hands full they were great! The flavor along with the price you really can't beat them. Only negative with the American burger was while we got pimento cheese I think they went a little heavy with the mustard but the bistro now that one was our favorite!

Cute bar; nice menu variety for a burger place w/ gluten free and veggie options. Buffalo burger was overdone, broccoli was limp and so were fries. Best thing was it was fast for a dinner stop that wasn't fast food!

Genesis A.

Yelp
Hands down loved this place. Was a little skeptical when we pulled up. I was expecting this place to be a local dive, but was surprised it was modern and trendy. Hands down best thing on the menu is the deep fried devils egg. Don't get me wrong all the burgers and fries that was order on this table was good also. There was 3 adults and 3 teenage boys and a toddler, we all enjoyed this place. The kids all said nice pick ms. Genesis.

Hands down the best food I have had in a while! We went here with a group of family. Everyone in the party enjoyed their selection!we all recommend the food here! I had the sliders and truffle fries! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Come with an appetite because the portions are large!most selections can be shared!

Yelp
Really wanted to give this place more stars since food was good and so was service but unfortunately we sat waiting for over 40 mins for our burgers during lunch time. Fries were also served luke warm. I would have given it 1 star, however, the manager came out and apologized. They also gave us a discount on our food and coupon for our next visit. Will definitely be back to give this place another try! Just hope the kitchen staff are fully trained up for our next visit as the manager eluded to that being the problem!

We stopped by Bad Daddy's on our drive from Charlotte to Charleston. I've had Bad Daddy's in Charlotte, but it had been a very long time. I ordered a create your own burger with a couple items, but primarily pimento cheese and mac and cheese. I thought the burger was fantastic. Definitely messy with all the mac and cheese, but it was nice. I will say, I do not think the mac and cheese was all that great, however, the addition of the melted pimento cheese help step it up a bit. If I ordered again, I wouldn't get the mac, but it was a fun burger to have one time. My husband ordered on the bistro burger which had bacon, gouda, onions, and chipotle avocado crema. He said it was a really good burger, but couldn't really distinguish the crema with all the other flavors goin on. Service was great. We had our dog traveling with us, and they are dog friendly on the patio - nice patio area!

Kimberly N.

Yelp
The bad ass daddy burger was delicious. Service was fast and easy. My burger was cooked medium rare as I requested. The fried bacon on the burger was a pleasant surprise that I pulled off the burger. It was its own little appetizer. My old fashioned was prepared well. Minus one star because I went on a Sunday evening and they would not give me a booth because I was by myself. I had to sit in the middle of the floor.

Yelp
We have been to other BD locations too. The food and menu choices are not bad at all. Service is variable but generally OK. What makes this location insufferable is the ambience: Loud music not to everyone's liking at eardrum hurting 95 decibels (measured). It is impossible to have a conversation without shouting and repeating yourself. I think this will be our last visit to this location

Random P.

Yelp
The food was amazing, so so good. OH MY WORD. I absolutely loved it I'm writing this just after leaving the restaurant and even though I'm stuffed I just want to go back and eat more food. The restaurant was really cute your average bistro bar with dim lighting and and music vinyls taped on the walls and cozy seating. The service was good very sweet woman took care of us and put up with my grandparents bickering. Unfortunately the milkshake machine was down so hopefully next time I can try it. If you got a dollar to spend here you should worth the price. Definitely will come back.

Great customer service and really good food. The waitress was very kind and helpful. I will revisit when I am in the area again.

The food at this burger joint is a must have. The appetizers are great, but the burgers are where the moneys at. The reaturant has good lighting and a great setting, but can get a little clastraphobic during peak hours. Normally when we go the service is great and the servers check on you throughout the meal. The design it yourself burger is the star of the menu and never lets you down.

Yelp
A short recap: It's okay. It's a typical burger place that will satisfy most people. A longer recap: I've ate at the Bad Daddy's in Charlotte about five years ago or so and really enjoyed it. I don't know if my taste bud's just grew up or.... We started with onion rings which were excellent. They were perfect, actually. It came with ranch that was really good too. A+ all day on those. I built my own chicken sandwich: It was a grilled chicken, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, red onions, and ranch/buffalo sauce. It came with tater tots that were a bit too salty. What's the deal then? Well, I actually just started grilling at home. With grilled chicken you have to "pound" the chicken out so it cooks evenly. If not you'll end up with an end too over-done and an end that's too chewy. That was the problem with the sandwich. There was one super over done side of the chicken and one side that was way too chewy because it was too thick. A pretty common occurrence if you don't pound your chicken out. C+ Burger places like this are pretty much the norm in every city in America. I've had dozens of places that taste just like Bad Daddy's. They're okay. I don't regret going and my food definitely tasted like they used premium ingredients. I'll give them props because the entire menu is customizable and that's always fun. They just missed the mark a little bit. I recommend for anyone to try them out.

Watch out for thieves. Someone got my phone, key FOB, wallet, Passport, and money all in a leather purse when I left my seat to go to the bathroom.

Great little burger spot! The staff here was attentive and turned a busy restaurant into a well oiled machine. The milkshake is a must.

A couple friends and I had a late lunch/earlier dinner on a Wednesday. We didn't have to compete with many patrons, which also meant we didn't have to wait long on our food. I had the Bistro burger: Gouda cheese, applewood smoked bacon, grilled onions, arugula & chipotle avocado crema. I paired it with fries. I wanted a burger and to enjoy some tasty fries; my meal met my goal. I liked that the burger didn't have the typical toppings. It was juicy, but didn't fall apart while I was enjoying it. My friends enjoyed their burger selections as well, plus they had the fried pickles and were not disappointed.

Excellent food and service. We were taken here for Mother's Day, as many privately owned restaurants are closed on Sunday. I had chicken tenders, and they were super moist with house cut fries. Others in my party had variations of their hamburgers, and no one was disappointed. We will be back!

And yet once again y'all suck. I've ordered online and come in. When I've ordered online for delivery, I've had to come up to location to get the order right. Even had the establishment ask for me to email them, and I did with no response, jjackson@bdrestaurants.com. So today dilemma, we are working on patio and decided to order burgers. Placed order and both we paid for grilled onions, neither got it. One no arugula and no tomato, both no arugula. And after cutting burger in half, went to add garlic Mayo and there's a freaking hair. needless to say I'm beyond pissed, can't and won't eat the freaking burger!! $54.40 that includes a tip was a damn waste!! Save your money and go somewhere else!! They don't care, I called and was told manager was not available.

Quick burger and beer at the airport ahead of my flight. Big crowd, but the staff kept up pretty well.

Their burgers are some of the best yet. I'm giving them 4 Stars only because their bathroom was nasty. Not a bunch of customers so really no excuse. Service was great and the atmosphere was really nice. We are looking forward to try it again. The potential is there for a 5 Star burger joint.
