    Texican Chicken Salad
    Taylor P.

    We had a really great lunch experience here and were honestly impressed from start to finish. We ordered the Elimios sandwich, Texas chicken salad, house chips appetizer with both sauces, kids chicken tenders, a Bloody Mary, and a side Caesar salad--everything tasted super good. The house chips were a standout, especially paired with the Bad Daddy sauce. We ordered the appetizer and kids meal ahead, and they came out incredibly fast, which made a huge difference. Service was exceptional--Karlee went above and beyond and was hands down the best and nicest server we've had in a long time. Truly refreshing. Even the person who delivered the food was so kind and friendly. Great food, outstanding service, and an all-around positive lunch experience. We'll definitely be back.

    Went here Wednesday for lunch a little after 12:30 pm, no wait time and only a decent amount of people inside. Quick service from the waitress. She was also very attentive. I loved the decor inside and the wall art hanging by our booth. To drink, I tried the Daddy's Dragonberry (10/10) very refreshing and fruity. It was also strong and gave a good buzz. To eat, we started with an Onion Rings basket (10/10) they were hot and fresh and the sauce served with them was yummy. I also ordered the Bistro burger with Parmesan truffle fries (10/10) my burger was flavorful, all of the toppings meshed well together and the fries were fresh and crispy. My meal was sooo good!! Def will be back when I'm in North Carolina again! My overall rate of experience : 10/10

    Steakhouse Smash Burger, Sweet Potato Fries
    Laurie I.

    We went to Bad Daddy's on a Saturday afternoon and even though it was crowded we were seated right away. I ordered the classic smash burger with sweet potato fries and slaw. My husband ordered a steakhouse smash burger with sweet potato fries. We both enjoyed our food. The sweet potato fries that come with some sort of dipping sauce are delicious!! I seriously could have eaten those by itself. My burger was pretty good, too. But the menu said it came with slaw or coleslaw, I can't remember exactly, but what I got was some soggy shredded lettuce on top of my burger. They should have just left that off because it ruined the burger experience. If they didn't have regular Cole slaw they should have said so and substituted it with a different side or given me some other option. Other than that, I enjoyed our experience there. The ambiance was like your typical bar restaurant vibe--lively and diverse. I'd probably go back and give them a try another time.

    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.

    The food was great and came out quick. The server was nice and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance is sports bar so it can be a bit loud but I enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😊

After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.

The place was bustling with people trying different places within the food hall. I decided to try the GOAT burger with sweet potato fries. Upon receiving my food, i was less than impressed with the appearance. Nothing like photos from other yelp reviewers and the other Johnny Roger location. It was very small portion of fries considering up charge of $2.50. The burgers bun was not toasted and it was a basic bun, cool to the touch. I noticed my burger was missing the candied bacon that was listed for the components of the burger. I went back up to ask for it and the cashier was more than helpful. She asked me if I had the onion straws on it as well and I looked only to see two small pieces. She took it upon herself to get me more to put on top. For that I was thankful. When another worker handed me my missing candied bacon, I looked at it and was slightly disgusted at the sight of floppy soggy bacon. But I went with it and went back to my table to put it on my burger. When I went to pick it up it was absolutely cold! So I went back to let them know and they took it from me and literally popped it in the microwave. At this point I'm just hungry and ready to eat. There was no crisp to the bacon at all and the candied part was basically just to douse it in some sweet syrup. So to sum it all up. I was very disappointed in the quality of the product compared to the $17 price tag. A cool not really grilled burger (assuming they were broiled or microwaved?) no grill marks, with soppy bacon and basic bun. Also they charge $4 for a sweet tea....... Just disappointment all around, except for the helpful cashier.

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.
