We stopped at the mall of New Hampshire location for lunch. Good burgers. I was glad they had a bean patty option and it was really tasty! I got mine with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, cheez whiz and manky sauce. My husband had a bad brgr, he said it was really good. We shared a small fry, they were too salty and nothing special. Service was fine. We would eat there again. read more

First, I've got to get something off my chest. If you're going to put BRGR in your name rather than BURGER then why in the world do you also include BAD rather than BD?! I mean, come on! But aside from my grammatical criticism, the food is quite good. Competitively priced and generous portions. Their BLACK BRGR (which should be BLCK BRGER ...) is "interesting" but kind of like black squid ink pasta is something you need to really want for blck reasons as it's just not a color that really appeals. For licorice, no problem. For Oreo cookies - of course. But for a delicious burger bun? Mmmm - no. Just too conjuring of "burnt to a crisp" for me. A bit more sound absorption would be nice to take the edge off the acoustic impact. But pretty normal in that respect for similar places so not a big deal. read more

Shit is trash. Waste of money just as the name suggest, it's sort of a bad burger... Very surprised that they're still hanging on because there's very little patrons in the restaurant. read more

I really wanted to have a five star experience here. We were visiting from out of town, and I'd been following their social media for months. Their burgers looked so fun and inventive. My deep goth heart was so excited to get the spicy burger on the black brioche bun. BLACK BUN - how cool! Except they were out of them but didn't tell me when I placed the order with a real human being. I would have ordered something different had I known I wasn't going to get the BLACK BUN experience that I wanted. My burger was tasty, and it was fun to sit in the window seat and watch folks go by on Elm Street as we ate. Initially, I had thought we'd come here multiple times during our visit to Manchester so that I could try more than one burger and their chicken sandwich. Because our first visit was underwhelming, but acceptable, we moved on to try other restaurants instead. read more

Decided to eat here after seeing their truck among the parade. It's pretty spacy in here and you can sit at a table for 2 or 6 OR sit at the bar. I needed a drink and asked the bartender for something to fit the theme (Xmas/Happy Holidays) and went for a Strawberry Margarita. It was quite fruity and didn't mind it not being strong since I had a long day. As for my dinner, I was told the Black Burger was the spiciest they got and went for that with fries. I plowed through half the burger before finally tasting any spice. I think the problem was they didn't bother spreading the sauce, just smacked it where ever it landed and left it there. The staff was friendly and helpful. Glad there's a place that opens late if you're looking for something to eat. Not bad and the food came out really fast as well. read more

Bad Mood BRGR. Waiting over 30 minutes for two burgers and fries will put anybody in a bad mood. wasn't worth the wait! Smash-burgers?These are smear burgers super thin patty smeared. Topped with tomato and a ton of mayonnaise. Served nice & cold. There is no reason for a milk slush. Why can't they just have milkshakes? I read all the great reviews and couldn't wait to try this place. Like everywhere they seemed understaffed. Very disappointing read more

BAD BRGR - Slush not worth the calories - Burgers Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Stopped into Bad Burger right after opening and ordered the standard Fat Burger. Overall, the burger itself was excellent. I asked them to add their special black sauce, which was very tasty, and the double-patty smash burger was on point. All toppings were correct, and the bun was pleasantly moist--huge plus, since a dry bun can ruin an otherwise good burger. From a pure burger standpoint, they nailed it. That said, the experience had a few hiccups. When I arrived, there appeared to be some construction or repair work going on, and the dining room was essentially closed off, with ordering and service happening at the counter only. More frustrating were the order issues. They initially forgot my milk slush, which I had to ask for when picking up my food. Then, once I got back to the car and opened everything up, I realized the fries were missing the cheese and chili I had specifically requested. Bottom line: the burger was great and clearly the star here, but the execution on the rest of the order and the opening-time disorganization took away from the experience. I'd happily go back for the burger, but I'm hoping for tighter attention to detail next time. read more

This was my first night arriving in Manchester, New Hampshire for graduation, and I was not familiar with the town yet. I explored a little, but since I did not really know my way around and was looking for something convenient to eat, I decided to stop at Bad Brgr. I figured a burger and fries would be a safe choice. Unfortunately, the burger lived up to the name. It was not terrible in a shocking way, but it was definitely disappointing. It tasted like a basic fast-food burger and did not feel worth going out of my way for. I expected something better from a place centered around burgers, but what I received was just average at best. The service experience was also not very welcoming at first. It looked like they were preparing for live entertainment, and there was someone sitting near the door, possibly to separate guests coming for the music from those just coming in for food. Without ever looking up, he asked whether I was there for entertainment or just to eat. I told him I was only getting food, but he never made eye contact or offered any kind of greeting. It was not a great first impression. The girl at the register, however, was friendly, and I appreciated that. I took the burger back to my hotel room, hoping it would be good, but it was just underwhelming. Maybe this place is better if you are going for the live music or nightlife atmosphere, especially if you enjoy rock, punk, or that type of entertainment. But as far as the food is concerned, I would not recommend it. Based on my experience, the burger was simply no read more

The burger here was so good! I mean really good. I am not usually a fan of burgers that are cooked flat because the edges are usually crispy and I don't like that but the whole thing was perfectly cooked and juicy. I also got cheese fries, which are HUGE but I did not love the cheese sauce. As I mention later, I'm from out of town so maybe this is a regional thing, but I felt like I wasted my money on the fries. Next time (since I will be back for the burgers) I think I might skip the fries altogether. This is counter service, which was great. The lady who took my order was kind and answered my questions since I'm from out of town. The ambiance is unique. This is counter service food with bar seating and atmosphere. I really liked the combination of the two and it made for a good experience. I sat at the bar with a friend and asked for a mocktail. The bartender had no problem making me something delicious. read more

I was craving a good burger, and this place checked all the boxes. The counter service was quick and easy. The build your own option is the way to go. The fries reminded me of a place back home that I love - the oil was bringing the perfect fry flavor out. It is located in downtown, so street parking is your only option. It was pretty dead when we stopped in, so seating was wide open. I'm sure this place gets busy in the evenings. Prepare to be full and happy after visiting. read more

Rochester location While the beef quality was good, unfortunately our overall experience was disappointing. We waited about 25 minutes for our food, and then my husband had to wait an additional 15 minutes for his burger because it was not served with the rest of our order. When it finally arrived, the bun was soggy. The fries and tater tots tasted like standard frozen products, which did not match the price point of the meal. The kitchen staff appeared to be working very hard, but the front-of-house service seemed somewhat disorganized and overwhelmed during our visit. Additionally, the fountain soda area was not very clean, and the machine was overflowing ice onto the floor when I used it. We spent nearly $100 for our meal, so we were hoping for a much better overall experience. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that it helps improve service for future customers. read more

Yesterday 6/22/2026 my mother and her friend ordered from bad brgr when in the restaraunt 2 cooks were arguing very loudly. The order consisted of a salad with bacon and onion of which turned out to be a big bowl of lettuce with half a cucumber very minimal tomato. No onion or bacon also no salad dressing. The other part of the order was sliders with sweet potato fries. The sliders had no bottom bun and the fries were small chunks of sweet potato. Not worth the cost or time read more

Food was delicious. Wide variety for a simple menu. Smash burgers are delicious, must add bacon. They have sliders, chicken sandwich, burgers, the best milkshake I've ever had, and the restaurant has a full bar which was the best thing ever!!! I loved the inside of the spot it was trendy and if you visit you have to check out the woman's bathroom! Bartender was fantastic I think his name was Phil. read more

Fantastic food and friendly service. Finally real burgers from a fast food restaurant. If the owners continue the culture from their other projects. This place will always be great and care. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent burger spot! My husband and I enjoyed our meal. We had the bad burger and the chop chz with a large fry. All of the food was hot, fresh and perfectly prepared. The customer service was also acceptable. The fried were thin and crispy and the serving sizes were good. The restaurant had a full bar and decent drink offerings. The bathroom was also clean and well maintained. The restaurant was a little cold! We actually ate our meal with our coats on. It was a particularly cold day; but it was a bit frosty. Overall; we are definitely planning to return again. The burger was amazing!!!! read more

Food was great! Will be back again! Service was awesome, new favorite burger spot! They also have live music

We've visited this location several times, the employees are always friendly, the food is always spot on and the atmosphere is always enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

BAD BRGR - Make your own Burger and French Fries. - Burgers Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

This was a 3 star burger at a 2 star venue. First the burger. Two thin patties smashed with cheese. Cheese had slightly fake taste to it. Bun not warmed or toasted. Lettuce and tomato was cold and seemed fresh. Lettuce is shredded which I happen to like. Taste was fine. Nothing to write home about either way. Landing a 3. Inside was NOT my thing. Music was so loud walking in that we could not hear the boy at the counter. We asked him to speak up. He said he's knew music was too loud. They had just opened and the floors clearly had not been swept since their last open. They weee gross. Some of the tables were dirty. Tables are small, metal, and ours was wobbly. Bathrooms were NASTY. All of this scared me as to how clean the kitchen is. I'm guessing I'd never eat here again if I saw it based on the bathrooms and dining room where they let us see. I'd say 1 star but honestly I've seen dirtier. I won't be back. read more

Took my nephew here. It'd expensive. Over 40 bucks for the two of us to have lunch. No much to look at inside. A non-dexcript place. Black interior. Not much else comes to mind. All burgers are double-patty, which I didn't know, not that I'm complaining. My nephew proclaimed "this is the best burger I have ever had!" I thought mine was good, but not particularly yummy. It was ok. I had the one with the truffle oil/mayo. It was not craveable. Not overly greasy, so that was nice. The French fries are the closest to McDonalds I have seen outside of a McDs. We had a nice lunch. But wow is it pricey. read more

Let's just say after looking for a treasure chest in the woods in Weare NH, we all got very hungry. We traveled to the Bad BRBG in Manchester NH. We needed to show our support and give a new restaurant that We have never been to a try. Well, Justin was right! His bugers are the best. My husband and 5 kids loved them. My husband couldn't get enough of the loaded fries. Best he has had in a long time. read more

Sliders fries and a drink = lunch special = pretty descent. No more thoughts to share

Cool spot with great music playing and different sports on every TV. This place has some very original burgers on their menu, but I was in the mood for a traditional burger. So a cheeseburger and fries it was! The food came out quickly and was served to the table by very friendly waitstaff. I had neglected to ask about whether the buns had sesame seeds, and they did. I am allergic to them, so they readily swapped it out. read more

BAD BRGR - Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I found this place and really love everything about it (well, maybe the bathroom could use some love), but the burgers are delish and I like how the menu allows you to order exactly what you want and for a fair price. They have a bar and the black/red motif gives the place an edge. I recommend, the burgers and chili are very tasty. read more

There is a reason I keep coming back! The burgers are the best smash burgers I've ever had, the service is warm and attentive and the music playing is always delightful! read more

The burgers are now really BAD...A-S in Manchester! BAD BRGR officially opened on April 11, 2024 in the former Bond BBQ space on Elm St at Concord St. The place offers an order at the counter burger bar with ample table seating and a a full service bar area with up to 10 beers on tap and mixed drinks, bar seating and big TVs, Upbeat music plays over the speakers and they seem to have space for live music too. I've enjoyed their burgers at their other seasonal location in Hampton Beach on really hot days. The previous review in this listing is from 2022 and actually of the seasonal Hampton Beach location and not this Manchester location. On my last visit there, the owner Ian (best name ever!) took care of me there and offered me a complementary cold Coke as I waited for my tasty brgr. They were also blasting nonstop rap in the restaurant. Anyways, the BAD BRGR food offerings include build-a-brgr (starts with 2 smashed patties with toppings choices), special brgrs, bad dogs, fries (chili, chz, bacon, onions, jalapenos, tomato), nachos, pretzel bites, milk slushes (they have a booze option), cooler drinks (Coke products), and a kids menu (burgers, bad dog, nuggets, grilled cheese, PB&J/Fluff). The prices are moderate here, similar to Five Guys without the nuts. The prices at the time of this posting seem the same as 2022 at the Hampton Beach location. I stopped by BAD BRGR in Manchester after a meeting. I ordered the BAD BRGR ($12 plus tax), side of Fries ($3 plus tax) and a DRTY MNKY milk slush ($6 plus tax). My food was brought over to my seat when it was ready. The BAD BRGR had two very juicy grilled smashburger patties, topped with melted cheddar, firm bacon strips, jalapenos, onions, & mustard on a soft sesame seed bun. The golden shoestring fries were nice and crisp. The DRTY MNKY was a not too sweet refreshing blended slush with milk, vanilla, bananas, and topped with chocolate chips. Overall, this is a really BAD A-S place to be in Downtown Manch for brgrs, fries, and drinks! read more

We were a party of 17 trying this place for the first time for dinner for my sons 21st. Food was excellent, service as also. Bartender was amazing as well as the rest of the staff. read more

Better smash burger than a national chain of the same name. The crust still juicy!!! I ordered the Bad Burger- jalapeño relish was AWESOME should be sold in jars! Owner Ian happened to take my order. If there is a true thing in this world? Hospitality is a gift given freely, and rewards all those involved. I'm excited for my next visit. 10/10 would recommend a read more

This place is awesome and I'm literally addicted. I've been here a trillion times already and everything is always yum! There are many delicious burgers In Manchester, but this one is always in my top choices. They never let me down this review has made me want a burger now ahhh read more

Yelp brought us here for the first time today. What a great experience! The burgers are awesome! Ask for the Bad Belle. It's not on the menu but if Phil is behind the bar, he can hook you up! All the ingredients were fresh and the burgers don't sit heavy like most do. Great fries, great vibe, great location! read more

We stopped in on an event night and there were people everywhere so our expectations were kind of low. Not only did we end up having fantastic service but the gentleman taking the orders gave great recommendations too. The bartender was friendly and smiling, and all of our orders came out correct (5 of us). On a crazy busy night we had delicious burgers and great service!! Can't wait to go back when it's not as crazy. Highly recommend!! read more

Affordable well made burgers, I'd say it's on the same level as Five Guys. Employees were happy to help me with multiple orders. Space is open and has variety of seating options with TV Screens playing different programs. read more

I have been really excited to try this place once it opens up. I love the advertisement "the worst thing to happen to Manchester". We tried their burger taco during Manchester's Taco tour and were looking forward to coming back to officially trying their smashburgers. My boyfriend could be the Hamburgerler as burgers are his favorite food and he very much enjoyed his burger. We were greeted by one of the staff who asked if we've been here before, he then explained the menu to us. I built my own burger with lettuce, tomato, cheese, jalapenos, and avocado. I enjoyed the kick from the jalapenos although I think next time I will do without as I found them a bit overpowering and took away from the rest of the burger. We also split "bad fries" which could be a meal alone as its topped with jalapenos, cheese sauce, tomatoes, onions and bacon. They were very filling, and we were already full from the burgers. Lesson learned. They have a full bar inside along with some picnic benches outside. read more
