Twice here, twice with Taylor as my server/bartender. Recommended by a coworker who used to wash dishes here as a side hustle. It's a smaller place but combo of booths/tables and then a side bar room with an outdoor patio. I think I recall seeing steps going upstairs as well but haven't ventured there yet. My first visit, I did the Heat Wave burger with a bison patty and fruit. The burger was ok, nothing to complain about or rave about. The fruit, however, was a huge helping of goodness. I had one of the craft local beers, red oak amber. Second visit was the Coastal Blackened Salmon Sammie with fruit and the Raleigh Hell Yes beer. This visit was much better than the first and reason why I wanted to visit one more time. I originally was going to give a 3. Their draft options are decent but could use a little more variety. I might need to try another burger, though, as I wasn't really impressed with the burger first time around. Cool spot to check out. Sports bar feel. read more

Food is good and service is good but they really need to focus on cleaning. It smells like spoiled milk and just dirty.

Bad daddy's is a chain restaurant with multiple locations. At this location there is shared parking out front. There are multiple tables & a bar at this location. The times that I have visited the food has been hit or miss. When I tried the salmon teriyaki sandwich it was dry and overcooked. The salad was ok. The all American burger that I got during another visit was fresh but my fries weren't hot. During this visit the bartender was nice & attentive. Bad daddy's does have a rewards club & you get a free sandwich or salad for your birthday. read more

We were seated in a comfy booth. Great service by our waiter. I had the birthday shake to start. It was amazingly delicious. Then I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. I want to marry this sandwich. It's so delicious. The fries were great too, I love the bad daddy sauce. All in all a great lunch of delicious flavors, fabulous service and a reasonable price. I'll certainly return. read more

Big fan of Bad Daddy's and have visited all of their locations in the area many times. Their burgers are consistently outstanding and have never disappointed! Our group each rated their burger as delicious and perfectly prepared. This was our first time dining at the Falls of Neuse location in a couple of years. We celebrated a birthday here this weekend and were a bit surprised to see the outdoor sofas in such rough shape. The cushions were dirty and some were falling off the furniture--many were covered in streaks of mud or grease. Yikes. Definitely recommend that you take a hard look at refreshing your patio area. Thanks! Looking forward to our next visit! read more

First....the place smells like a damp basement...mildew!!! Second...the floor of the restaurant was so dirty. And when I looked down at the space between the end of the booth and the wall it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Third...for goodness sakes put some felt on the undersides of the legs of the chairs in the bar area. Every time a waiter or a diner dragged a chair across the floor it filled the entire restaurant with a LOUD screeching noise. Fourth.... food was meh. My patty melt was basically a pre-formed overcooked beef patty on bread with some onions. Fries for 3 of 4 of our party were cold. This is our second time there. First time wasn't great either. Second chance even worse. Won't be a third. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Slow incompetent staff and manager admitting they were one manager short and corporate has a new policy that the management can't rove around the establishment helping out where needed and only glued to one spot. Never had black deep fried in a volcano bacon. Run like hell to City BBQ instead. One and done with bad daddy's ( appropriately named) read more

I had lunch at Bad Daddy's, and I had a great experience. I made my own salad, which included romaine lettuce, chicken tenders, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers, shredded cheddar cheese, croutons, avocado, and ranch dressing, and it was so yum! I also ordered a side of fries, and those were delicious. After the delicious salad and fries, I wanted a sweet treat, so I ordered their churro milkshake to go, and it was to die for, I enjoyed it too. Our server was amazing, she was welcoming and very attentive with a great attitude. I will definitely be back! read more

We have gone to the Denver location many times. It was very good. This place was not good. We waited a good 20-30 minutes for the food to arrive. (It was 3pm on a Friday )It was over cooked and burnt and cold at the same time.. read more

Bad Daddy's Burger Bar - Bacon on a cold burnt burger - Burgers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Went here with a friend a few weeks ago during the weekday and the host stand was empty. Understandable, it is a pretty slow day but felt like they should have kept an eye or ear out for the front entrance. It was dead inside maybe one other table and someone at the bar, and it still took 5 minutes of peering around the corner and stepping further into the lobby looking at the bartender for someone to greet us and us to be seated. Was seated and I ordered a medium well mac and cheese burger with fries and a drink, and my friend ordered a salad and a drink. Got a sweet tea and that was good, until the refill was made with artificial sweetener :( Food took 25 minutes easy and we were the 2nd table in there. Food takes time to make I recognize but I feel it should not have taken as long as it did for as dead as it was. Friend unfortunately has to leave shortly after food arrived because of time constraints with other plans, and asks for to-go boxes and apologizes to the server saying it is bad timing but that they have to go. Server says no worries, brings the boxes, and just disappears for a solid 10 more minutes. Does not ask if we would like the check, does not come around for refills, nada. Friend has to then go back to the bartender and ask to check out there, for the bartender to call over our server and have her give the checks to us, and almost do the same song and dance again for the server to pick up the card/check. Server was blatantly on her phone and the bartender rolled her eyes at the server before going back to doing her own thing. My friend leaves and I get into the middle of my burger finally only to find out it looks really pink on the inside just straight rare? But perhaps it was the shadow. It's around this time the server comes back around, I ask for my check and a refill of my sweet tea, and the refill is made with artificial sweetener :( read more

The food is always excellent and orders are correct and well packaged for take out. Love it!

Every time I go here, all of the staff are very nice, especially management! I appreciate their service, food and friendliness! I work in the same Olive park and love eating there. I may need to take a break before I gain too much bc the food is so good!! read more

Bad Daddy's still rains king on being the best burger place in Raleigh. The one chain restaurant that is consistent across each location. Their French fries are hand cut and are always perfect. Their cocktail had great flavor but I wish it was a little bit stronger. They make their burgers cooked to how you order which is great because it's never over cooked. read more

We are new to the area and stumbled across Bad Daddy's. We ordered wings, burgers, fries, and mac n cheese. Have to say everything was great even the mac n cheese! Busy atmosphere, good service, but it was freezing in there. Other than that we'll be coming back for the food and the banana pudding! read more

I had been waiting to try Bad Daddy's for a long time. I took a seat at the small upstairs bar, I was the only one there, a couple of other tables were occupied. Pretty nice that they have an elevator between the two floors. I tried a beer sample or two, but went with the pineapple jalapeno margarita, sounded good after a 3.5 hour drive after a 9 hour day of work. For dinner, I went with the Western buffalo burger with cheese, crispy onions, and BBQ sauce. It as cooked medium, as I requested. I still maintain crispy onions are the most underrated burger topping. The fries were fresh cut, which I really appreciate, but they could have been warmer. I got sides of garlic mayo (aioli) and Bad daddy's sauce for dipping and both were very good. It took a second request to get the garlic mayo though. Servers and bartenders were friendly, some more outgoing than others. The vibe was fun, a little hipster, but a place I would definitely come back to so I could try more of the menu. read more

The was my first time visiting this location and we went on cinco de mayo. They had $2.50 locoritas in all flavors. Our drinks were good and we got a few of them. I also ordered the daddy's Philly with sweet potatoes fries as my side. I just wish the bun was bigger because the meat was all over the place. They run daily specials as well and have an upstairs area. Will have to check this place out again. read more

Love the food the service is great and I love the theme this place is always a safe choice because they never fail to satisfy.

Great place to hang out and grab a burger with friends. The front door hostesses could be more professional, but the wait staff were amazing. The milkshake was thiq and you saw the cookie bits in the bottom. Burger was tasty too, little on the saucy side for my preference, but that can be taken care of next time. I forgot what the dip was called, but it slapped with the fries. read more

I am not a big burger person , only picking this place because my son want to have burgers. The place was busy on Labor Day. It's a good sign. Waited about 30 for the seat. And another 1/2 hr for the food after sitting down. I had all American - juicy and fresh. Not bad. My son loved bacon cheese burger. I was surprised he finished it. Hubby thought the smokehouse burger could use more flavorful. We all loved truffle fries. Also tried the wings - not that great. So truffle fries and all American burger would be my pick. read more

We have had great experiences here and our most recent one was just that. We arrived on Saturday afternoon at an off-time and were seated at a high top at the bar where we had terrific Service from the most delightful Gal. She took great care of us! We found brews that made each of us very happy. Both of us got Bistro Burgers. Husband had a beef one while I asked for Turkey. I got Onion Rings and he got Tater Tots. We asked and were granted bad daddy's sauce to go with it all. YUM. I will say I would probably pass on the turkey patty in the future. But that was just personal preference as it all was very good. read more

Whenever we visit family in the area we stop in here for either a lunch or a dinner. A few times it has been too busy and the wait too long so we've opted to do something else, but when it's not so crazy it's a solid place for a bite. The staff is always really friendly and placing orders is easy enough. The wait for the food to come out can be a bit long but everything is made as you order it, so not super unexpected. If you have little ones that don't like to wait I would recommend that you ask for their meals to come out as soon as they are ready rather than with everyone else's meals. They have upstairs and downstairs seating alongside a mix of tables and booths. The tables are in the middle areas and you may feel a bit crowded at them with all the foot traffic. I prefer the booths myself. Overall: A Solid spot with good food. Wait times can be off putting but if you hit them at a good time it's a must try. read more

Great burgers! Don't bother going anywhere else. And their Bad Daddy's sauce is amazing!

Girlfriend and I went to eat here it Jan 2 around 1-2pm. There wasn't many other people in the establishment at the time we got there but it took about 10 minutes for someone to come seat us. Ordering the food was quick but actually getting the food which was just 2 burgers and sides it was about 20-30 minutes or more. The atmosphere was nice but the service as far as being seated and getting food was a little ridiculous read more

Great food. The banana pudding is where it's at, you definitely want to grab an order or get some to take home! Tyler was awesome, great service! read more

I have never had a worse piece of salmon in my life. It was dry, inedible, shoe leather. The steamed broccoli was delicious. Just stay far away from the salmon. The server was very nice but it took her a solid 10 - 15 minutes to come to our table at all. Food took forever even though restaurant wasn't busy. It was also freezing cold. Like had to go to the car to get jackets and even a blanket. I won't be back any time soon. Someone needs to help this place. read more

Absolutely Amazing Fooders Came down from NY to visit The Grandkids. In all my life I never heard of Fried Deviled Eggs, I could've ordered 2 sides of those and that would've been enough. Amanda V. ? What a great server and thanx for tolerating all my jokes and sarcasm you were amazing. Did a great job too with The Grandkids. Blessings Look forward to doing it again soon the next time I make the trip. Sliders were fantastic and oh, did I mention the Fried Deviled Eggs ? lol read more

Bad Daddy's Burger Bar - This is it.... These SPICEY deep fried deviled eggs WOW - Burgers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I had fun here. The atmosphere is quite comfortable and my server today was Nyasia. She was friendly and served with a smile. The menu offers several options. I had the Shroom Burger and it tasted great. It wasn't overly greasy but had just enough to scream eat me! It came with fries. The fries were decent and the flavor was quite good. My drink today was the house amber beer. It had a slight fruity flavor and cold which I like. However, there are several types to choose from along with mixed drinks, so don't be shy. If you are not into the spirits, Bad Daddys also have non alcohol drinks to include soft drinks and milk shakes. There is parking in front and on the side a huge lot shared by several businesses. The next time you are craving a nice burger, skip the drive thrus and come sit down at Bad Daddys for a wonderful experience. NOTE: It's a popular place so be prepared to wait or to sit at the bar. read more

Speedy service, great food that was delivered quickly. Lots of choices, nice touch on the GF bun. Always a good time when I come here. Only negative was 2 ladies at the hostess stand on their phones when we walked in and neither said a word to Us. read more

Listen up, this was the best burger I've had in a long time. The best in town. I'm not a huge burger fan but I enjoyed this! The Bad Daddy's sauce is delicious. The onion rings were cooked to perfection. The truffle fries were perfect! No complaints about the food. The waitress was slow coming to our table. By the time she got there we were starving and went ahead and put in our drinks and food all at once. She even came to our table yawning. That was rude! This review of 4 stars is all because of the food and drinks. There wasn't anything outstanding about the customer service therefore, a 5 star wasn't warranted. When we left numerous staff members were standing around the hostess station who said their goodbyes. Is this why the service upstairs is so slow?! read more

Disappointing experience. The service was slow and unprofessional, and the food didn't live up to the hype. Would not recommend.

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience: 2 Date/Time: 7/24/2021 6:30pm Crowd: 2/3 full Order: Daddy's Philly, Emilio Chicken, Daddy's Pastrami The bad news is the place is so loud you can't hear the person across from you. The good news is the food is pretty good. This place is just off Falls of Neuse just north of I-540. It's a high ceiling 2 story restaurant with small outdoor seating on both levels. It is decorated with Hollywood nostalgia and would get a better rating if they'd just drop the noise level down about 50%! Service was good relative to the number of people being served. Not too long of a wait on the food once the order is taken. The Daddy's Philly was good but unfortunately the first bite reminded me of Hamburger Helper with cheese with the chopped burger instead of the steak slices. The jalapeños was a nice added touch. Everyone at the table liked their choices as well and the homemade chips and tater tots were very good. Would definitely recommend trying it out but if you're a Philly eater, I'd probably try something else since it really doesn't taste like one. Definitely go for either the chips or tater tots. read more

I met a friend for dinner on 24APR2024 since Bad Daddy's has the best salads. There is no place else that allows you to choose exactly what you want in the salad plus their awesome fried chicken and chipotle ranch dressing. Annabelle was our sweet server that kept refilling our waters and gave us appropriate attention. My friend and I both had salads and I am looking forward to having the other half of my large salad for lunch today! Many thanks to Annabelle for making our dinner a pleasant evening and to the kitchen staff for food worth enjoying as leftovers! read more

The fries tasted ok. I didn't enjoy the bacon cheeseburger on steroids; It was dry and lacked flavor. I was disappointed. However, the restaurant was packed. It took about 30 min for me to receive my order. I did not appreciate the long wait. I do not see a return visit in my future. read more

I have been to this place quite a few times. It's one of my favorite restaurants to visit when I craving a good burger. My last visit I changed it up a bit and got a fried chicken sandwich, which was honestly better than I expected! Fries are crispy and food is delicious. Service is kind of hit or miss, we've been here a few times and the waiter/tress that we get sometimes is great, sometimes they forget we're there.
