    Steakhouse Smashburger with mushrooms
    Vee H.

    We love a good burger, especially a good "smash burger" cooked to perfection with nice crispy edges. Tre the manager does a great job keeping this location running smooth, from the kitchen and restrooms to the front of the house, it's very neat and organized. Oh yes a word to the wise, be sure to tell them your seasoning level when ordering your perfect burger.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Truffle Parmesan Fries Simple Burger

    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.

    Ordered one of the "giant chopped salads" that cost $15.25. Order was supposed to be ready at 1:19 and ended up coming out at 1:30. The protein proportion of this "giant salad" was 4 oz (according to the manager). It looked like kid size amount. Service is always terrible at this location, particularly the pick up order section. Ordered the chicken Caesar salad.

    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. 😊

    Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

    After seeing Harriet's Hamburgers all over TikTok being crowned "the best burger in Charlotte," I…read morehad to see what the hype was about. I live super close to Optimist Hall, so it's been on my radar for a while. This particular night I wasn't feeling great, so I DoorDashed instead of dining in. I ordered the Royale with crispy fries and let me just say... I get it. The burger was genuinely impressive. The quality of the beef stood out immediately. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was spot on, which is crucial. Nothing worse than a bread heavy burger. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, the build was balanced, and even after delivery, everything held up beautifully. So far I've tried two burger spots in Charlotte, and this one takes the top spot. I'm not ready to declare it the best in the entire city just yet because my burger tour is ongoing, but right now it's leading the race. I'll definitely be going to Optimist Hall soon to try it fresh off the grill and experience the service and atmosphere firsthand. Expect an update. But based on this first round alone, Harriet's is absolutely worth the order. Burger lovers, this one deserves a try.

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. They have a serious number of TVs for a sports bar so I'm sure if you are a football fan, you'll be able to watch your game, or better yet, a NASCAR race once the season starts back in February. Overall, decent bar food with plenty of TVs for sports spectators.

We went on a Tuesday evening when they have $2 off their Michael Waltrip beer and a kids eat free promotion. Everything was very clean. 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.
