This is one of my favorite places for a great burger. I love it when it's quiet at night enjoying my Great American burger with the fries, which are excellent and on top of that a cold beer. Tonight they had Oberon from Bells which is my favorite beer on draft! Enjoying the background music and watching games at the bar. It was prepared really quick and it was delicious. My server very friendly. I like coming to this restaurant. They have the best burgers in town hands down. read more

Another disappointing visit. We waked in the door to chaos. Mostly empty restaurant. Servers hustling in the kitchen. Hostess shouting from the kitchen it will be a 20 minute wait. Four parties looking at each other at the hostess stand. Seems like this place always has staffing problems. read more

Do NOT go here. Overpriced, small portions, very mediocre food. For all the food we ordered, it cost $89 before tax and tip. 3 Milkshakes, 1 Pizza, 3 Burgers. We could have done this at fast food, received better quality food and drinks, for half the price. I don't know why anyone goes here. So first, the service was fine, but it goes downhill after ordering. I asked if they had a milkshake menu, but apparently corporate decided to get rid of the milkshake menu and make all the waiters recite the menu over and over again. How stupid is that? Reese's, Salted Honey Cinnamon, Strawberry - $7 - The best one was strawberry, and that's not saying much. Every milkshake was so watery that we were drinking flavored milk more than ice cream. The waitress even got my milkshake on my shoes. She apologizes about how watery it is, but that's it. She even says she'll bring over more napkins (cause it was dripping all down our cups too), but she forgot to come back with the napkins a few times, so it took a long time to get more napkins. At least they got rid of paper straws, cause at one point a few years ago, you couldn't even suck up the milkshake through the paper straws cause the paper straws disintegrated. Back then, I asked for a spoon, and they said they didn't have any. Now, back to today, the straws are plastic again, but I couldn't even suck up at Reese's cups cause they don't fit through the straw. At least this time I had a fork. What a disaster. Don't get milkshakes here. 0/5 stars. "Tavern" Style Pizza Hot Honey - $17.50 - The flavor was good, but it was a soft crust pizza, definitely not tavern style at all. 3/5 stars. All of the burgers are small, like Culver's small, and you're paying 3x the price. The fries are soggy and needed salt. Train Wreck Burger - $18 - This was mine, and it was just ok, but probably better than the other two. 3/5 stars. Mushroom Swiss Burger - $16 - This one the meat tasted worse than mine. I don't know why there's different ground beef patties? 1/5 stars. Stacked Patty Melt - $16.50 - Husband got this one, and he didn't like it. He said the bread tasted stale. 1/5 stars. Just don't go here. You wanna spend about $100 for 3 people to eat? What a waste of money. Small portions, overpriced, terrible quality. Oh, and some tables are sticky, even after the hostess cleans them. read more

Husband had the Biggie Burger and I had the Hot Honey Chicken. We both walked away with a ton of leftover fries because we were full. The burger had a lot of toppings and the meat was lightly seasoned. I got extra hot honey which matched with the chicken well. Our waitress was prompt and there when we needed her. Not very busy for a Saturday and the restaurant was clean. read more

First time visiting but we will definitely be back. Food was well prepared and the portion sizes were plentiful.

We have been to Bagger Dave's many times. This place has definitely gone down hill. The tables are sticky. My shoes stuck to the ladies restroom floor. We mentioned to our waitress about the sticky table and she said it was the varnish. Sorry when our glasses sweated and we wiped up the water - that spot was no longer sticky. My husband ordered a bloody mary - it was awful - tomato juice, jalapeno juice and pickle juice. I ordered a strawberry mule - no strawberries in sight. The food was just ok. The french fries were laiden in grease. We will probably never go back there again. We have crossed them off our favorite restaurant location. read more

The food wasn't good, had fish and chips and cold in middle and could tell the were frozen fish. Won't be going back, food subpar

Bagger Dave's has changed their menu loads of times since my last review. It seems they now have pizza. I've not tried it because the whole reason to go to Bagger Dave's is the burgers. Fries are a close second, but the burgers are what shine here. Gone are the Build Your Own papers and pencils (you can still order a build your own burger but it's all verbal). I admit I go for the Bacon Barbecue Burger every time. Newly allowed to eat gluten, I can't express how good the grilled brioche bun is. Heaven. The portion of fries that comes with the burgers has decreased, which is a little sad. On this most recent visit, there were highs and not-so-highs. We got seated immediately (around 5:30 on a Friday), which is much better than the 1.5-2 hour wait we would have faced down the street closer to Lima Road. The service was prompt and the food was delicious. I ordered an Aperol Spritz which was on the weak side and rather small for $10. My daughter got the Tavern Margarita that tasted mostly like mixer. $5.55 was an appropriate price I guess. Also I ordered a side of Mayo which never arrived. Oh well. I usually dip my fries in it, but the Santa Fe Chipotle was so excellent I didn't need it. Anyway. Will I go back? Definitely! But I will skip the cocktails and focus on the real reason I'm there. read more

We came by the other day for a quick bite before another activity. Our server was great and was able to get us in and out in a timely manner. Our burger were delicious and cooked perfectly! I really enjoy the homemade sauces that go great with the fries or to top on your burger. I enjoy that everything is really customizable for all eating habits. read more

We are staying in a hotel nearby and got Bagger Dave's takeout for dinner. I'm going to preface this by saying, I know take out is not the ideal presentation and the food could be a bit better sitting in the restaurant. That being said, my family of four found our dinner to be not bad, but not amazing. We had a great American cheeseburger, pretty standard cheeseburger. Crispy cheese bacon burger, good concept, I bet it is better at the restaurant when the cheese crisp is super fresh. Both burgers needed a bit more seasoning. Fish and chips was good. Blue cheese burger was good. Turkey black bean chili was not bad but was lacking that flavor melding that comes from cooking all day. The fries were good but really needed salt. The homemade ranch was amazing. Take out service was quick and well done. Online ordering was easy. read more

We've gotten takeout several times, and dined in a few times. The food is consistently great, but a few years ago, they made the menu a little smaller and they took off our little girl's favorite entree. The restaurant is clean, and casual, and the wait staff is helpful and nice. read more

Stopped in for the 9.95 great American burger on Tuesdays. Excellent burger, service, atmosphere. An enjoyable lunch for a Tuesday. I tried the home made Cole slaw. It was a burger for lunch at a burger joint. Not bad but nothing special. I personally would not get ithe slaw again. read more

Bagger Dave's ads kept popping up on social media, and since it had been a very long time since we had gone and it looked as tho they had some new burgers, we opted to go there for lunch. We were the second table to be seated after opening, so the place was pretty empty. The music wasn't loud at all, but as we sat there, we noticed that the employees were certainly having a great time talking to each other. Loudly. Then the music continued to get louder until it was hard to communicate at times. Our server came and took our drink orders. We perused the menu for the new burgers we saw, but the menu seemed the same to us. For a restaurant who has "burgers" as their main draw, 8 variations (two of which have the same ingredients save for the cheese being different) seems limited to me. I admit I'm a burger snob, so I love to see a lot of options on the menu. So... I went with the one I have had each time we've visited. The BBQ Bacon Burger. Spouse did the same. We substituted onion rings for the fries (upcharge:$2.95), instead of having onion rings for the appetizer: $6.95. Our server left, then came back and asked if we wanted the onion rings brought out before the burger since it is considered an appetizer... We were a little confused. We told her we ordered them as a side, but she insisted that they were still considered an appetizer even tho we ordered them as a side. We asked if they were brought out as an appetizer, would we be getting fries with the burger? She said no. The onion rings are the side. Shaking our heads to ourselves, we told her we wanted them with the burger. The server was kind, but I do think some extra training might help her. We ordered the burgers medium and substituted chipotle bbq for the regular bbq that normally comes on the burger. Our meals came, and the onion rings were very tasty. I wouldn't put them in the same league as Red Robin, but they were good. Our burgers were cooked to order and also had a lot of taste... except... where was the bbq sauce?? Not a hint of bbq sauce anywhere. Was a bit disappointing. Overall, the meal was pretty good, but it will be a long while before we go back. read more

I used to Love Bagger Dave's but my last two visits there have changed my mind. A couple weeks ago, I picked up my order, took it home to realize I was given the wrong order. I hadn't checked and these things happen. I called the restaurant to tell them I had the wrong order. the staff member that answered was very rude. I had to insist that I get a refund for the difference (because I didn't want to go back to the restaurant). She agreed then I had to insist and wait for her to run the numbers. My credit would be $5 on my next order. I went in the next week, placed my order and used my $5 credit. I ordered chicken tenders and fries which I've order several times because I love their taste. This order was awful. They tasted like they had been cooked in old grease. There was more gristle than meat. The skin was overly crispy, and the meat was dry. No more for me. read more

I've had a chance to visit 2x over the course of 10days. I can honestly say they have one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's tender, meaty, juicy, and full of flavor. The burger is so big, it's almost shareable, but I don't do that. It comes packed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo( yuck- I ask that if be left off), ketchup, and mustard. The vegetables are crisp and clean, no ugly spots, and add a touch of flare to the burger. I was pleased both times. The fries are ok, not the best, but ok. The atmosphere is clean and almost quaint. Due to Covid19, they appear to have social distance guidelines for tables arranged. They have a friendly and efficient staff. Well worth a try. read more

I ate here years ago and it was one of the best burgers I've had, came back in 2024 and it was a vastly different experience. The burger was very dry and bla. I had bacon, it had little flavor and was also overcooked. I will not be back. read more

Meh! 2.5 stars out of 5...ans I'm only being kind because of the delicious burger. Otherwise...1 and done. Service was ok, but Our server was also the bartender and therefore had double duty and not able to provide us with the attention that we would have gotten with a dedicated server. .. however she did prevail and provide adequate service...but nothing special. The atmosphere in the place is blah! Not exciting or visually exciting, just a large dead space decorated with old time pictures and painted dark brown; Boring and depressing! Then there was the request for for fresh forks and spoons as we began to eat our burgers. In lieu of actual silverware, which we had when we began our guests. Anything less than that indicates that management is not capable of running the operation. - read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday, was seated right away! Atmosphere is super cool, they also have a nice patio for outdoor seating. Our server was great! I got the crazy train grilled cheese on sourdough bread with the soup that came with the meal, both super delicious! Only thing I would change is there are apples that come on the sandwich, kind of random to me but I tried it out. It was fine, but I think I'd prefer the sandwich without them. Overall great experience, will be coming back! read more

Went there Saturday at 5:45pm, they looked to be at about 60% capacity... so not super crowded or busy. We ordered drinks and two appetizers. Within 15 minutes our appetizers arrived (no utensils or napkins), and still had no drinks. I had to show the waiter and remind him we had no silverware. After 5 more minutes I flagged down a different waitress asking why we did not have our drinks that we had ordered 20 minutes ago. She apologized and said their bar was "backed up". At the 25 minute mark our 3 beers finally arrived well after we had the appetizers. We finally ended up with our food and one of the Caesar salads we ordered had been brought out with NO dressing on it. This place has done nothing but go steadily downhill since they originally opened here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We won't be going back and if you're looking for a much better burger experience I'd suggest Red Robin or Five Guys... stay away from Bagger Dave's. read more

Very poor customer service! I'll never go back due to a very bad experience. The restaurant ran out of half of the food from a burger combo and wanted to up charge me for a substitute. The manager came over and was rude, so I left after waiting 30 to 45 minutes. read more

The food is amazing! My son was in the NICU at the hospital across the street and let me tell you door dashing dinner from here was the highlight of some of my days, it sounds silly but it's what got me through our 3 month stay there. read more

Great burger! Place was not busy, approaching closing time, but I have always gotten a great burger.

I've had Bagger Dave's once before for takeout, decided to come back since a restaurant down the street had too long of a wait. Definitely not disappointed. The BOM burger was absolutely delicious (10/10), french fries were crispy and hot, cole slaw is the good kind of cole slaw (you all know what I mean) and the chicken tenders were okay! I'm a ride or die shoestring fry girl but these fries are still small and had a good size to crisp ratio. The tenders definitely had more breading than chicken but they're definitely an average tender. 4 stars because nothing blew me away besides the burger. read more

Ordered the fish basket and the fried pickles. The fish basket wasn't anything different than anywhere else but it perfectly meets expectations. Thicker cuts of fish battered and fried with a fair portion of fries. The fried pickles came out late but that was due to a miscommunication and the server got them out promptly and fresh with a double order and comped them off our order. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. Plenty to watch on the televisions, the music was tasteful, and the staff was friendly. I would return again. read more

First time diners at this restaurant. I ordered the cheeseburger and asked to swap american cheese with swiss cheese, which they did. Accompanied mine with the house french fries. My husband ordered the barbeque bacon burger, but thought extra barbeque sauce would have made him happy. He chose onion rings for his side. Everything was prepared well per our requests. Service was prompt and efficient. The atmosphere was good and i liked that the tables were placed so that everyone had some space. It was easy to hear our conversations, unlike some restaurants who cram everyone together and so loud you cant hear anyone. A keeper on our list of places to return. read more

Amazing burger! I got the train wreck and added coleslaw. I wanted to add an unfortunate comment. After leaving this place both my wife and I had upset stomachs. I thought maybe it was the way I built my burger but hers was regular beef and not prime rib meat and just a cheeseburger. So something definitely was up. Won't try again. read more

Bagger Dave's was such a treat. Great food. Great service. Great condiments! We loved Al if it. It was a little noisy, but not too bad.

I'll start with the positive, the burger was good. Unfortunately, the fries were overcooked and tasteless. My son wanted to substitute his fries, but was told no substitutions, why??? It took over 15 minutes to get a beer, why??? Even the model train was not working, which was a nice touch in the past. Seems like management is dropping the ball. Too bad, as I will probably not go back. read more

Went here on a whim. Was here once and thought I would try it one more time. Going into place, we waited to be seated, in which we were greeted immediately and seated in booth in family room. Our drink order was immediately taken and gotten. I love pickles and was excited to see fried pickles on menu and ordered as appetizer. However, when we got them, they just were not good. The flavor was of and they were not crunchy. Husband and I tried to eat them but just couldn't. For main meal, husband ordered The Trainwreck and I a ordered The All American. One thing that we noticed right away about the birds when they came out they were two perfectly shaped. Meaning they had to been frozen. As far as taste goes they were just ok. I will say my husbands sandwich was a train wreck. Very messy sandwich. In the end, we were both disappointed in our meals. If a place is going to advertise best burgers then maybe they shouldn't come already processed. Doesn't matter how good toppings are, if the burger isn't good ... it won't be good. Our service was good. Waitress very attentive and polite. No issues there. This is a place for anyone. It's ok as far as food but if your looking for freshly made, real good burger this is not it. Great place sports. read more

Slaving in the kitchen I tell you! They be working hard back there getting these burgers out the window and them all natural fries they chop and slave over. Be getting yelled at too! lots of pressure back there, the good news on the other side of the window! fancy cola drinks from the fountain made exclusive. Booze drinks that will knock your billfold in real good, good drinks though! Them burgers be melting in your mouths and stuff, them fries will be fresh cut and thrown down in the grease! come out hot and real good! Salt them down real good. Prices will scuff you up real good in here, but it's half way quality... Fun place and quality beef (not as good as they brag it up) but good. They be slaving in the kitchen so that got them a good review. Food isn't half bad either! Made from scratch Mac n Cheese (It's twisted mac n cheese) Burgers with eggs on them Hot fresh fries slaved over (extra salt please) read more

My wife and I wanted burgers, so we picked the closest place with "burger" in the name. The staff was really nice, the place was very clean, and the food came out super fast and hot... but, the burger (which was the entire reason for stopping in) actually tasted like nothing. Not bad, not good, but actually... nothing. If I was blindfolded and asked to identify the sandwich I honestly don't think I would be able to do it. TL;DR Wait staff was great, "Burgers" taste like you're pretending to eat a burger, and 2 burgers plus an order if cheese curds and drinks cost $50. I'd honestly rather go to McDonalds. read more
