    Full bar

    Three of us stopped in for lunch on a busy Wednesday about 1pm. Their brick lined wide open space allows for almost a complete 360 view of entire restaurant, bar and TV's. Our server was pleasant and attentive constantly checking in and refilling beverages. Has Philly cheesesteak with Mac and cheese, onion soup chicken with slaw and chicken Ceasars salad. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Enjoy!

    I've seen this place for years in the area, but never stopped to try them out. Went yesterday for a quick lunch. There weren't busy at all and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I was with a group and we all ordered something different. Food was fresh, hot, portions were plentiful and had good flavor.

    Ambience was lively, very busy for a Thursday which meant the food must be good. Service was great for how busy it was, I had 2 beers and our waitress was great to make sure I was satisfied. Food was pretty good! Not anything spectacular but it was very good and I would definitely go back!

    Build your own burger, grilled toast with peanut butter and jelly with a patty

    There is absolutely nothing "wimpy" about the portion size or the taste. The patty was juicy, seasoned perfectly, and the toppings were fresh. If you're looking for a burger that actually fills you up and delivers on flavor, this is the one to get.

    Our experience here was excellent! We stopped in at 11:30am on a sunday and were quickly seated. The patio was already pretty full but luckily we got a table. They have picnic tables off the deck as well as a "kiddy" grassy area and a decent amount of seating inside. They have a great craft beer selection, really fun cocktails and a variety of daily specials. I had a mimosa then a peach margarita which was delicious. The steak tacos were fantastic!! And the house made chips made my day! Great little place and extremely affordable!

    Pimento cheese bites $10.00 "value"

    The food is good but the portions keep getting smaller while the price continues to increase. I understand everything is going up but 10 dollars for fried cheese...thats a bit much. Service is okay, but hostess situation is not great usually. The metal chairs on the concrete floors were not thought out AT ALL. Its in a good location and has a cool vibe, but not sure its going to continue to be worth the cost.

Highly recommend the smoked pork ribs which are are fall off the bone tender, meaty, and with gorgeous and lovely dry rub and bbq glaze, so good! They need no BBQ sauce! The beef brisket(extra $5) slices are thick, smokey, beefy, and so beautiful. Very good, but a bit on the dry side. No worries, just add one of the many BBQ sauces, all lovely and special in their own ways. The house slaw is nice and light with an Asian inspired dressing. The cheese jalepeno grits were smooth and flavorful. Also came with nice pickled onions and a hot crispy hush puppy.

According to the server, we received a smaller than normal order of pork rinds. Which wasn't that big of a deal because it literally looked like they opened the bag of gas station pork rinds and poured them onto a tray with seasoning. Fries were brought out later, but they were cold. The charcuterie board was good for quantity, but my mouth quickly got tired of the flavors. Everything seemed crazier than it needed to be, and none of the sauces really stood out. In fact, all of them were sweeter than I had expected. Oh yeah, when I ordered a Bud Light with a glass, the glass was dirty. So the food was definitely an under achieving moment. Next, the server was actually nice and the ambience was great. It's a smart looking establishment . But you don't go to a restaurant for the looks, you go for the food and in that regard, I was decidedly underwhelmed.

We came in during the last hour before closing (which always…read moremakes me a little nervous), but everything was still super fresh, came out quickly, and never felt rushed. Ashley was our server and she was amazing -- very attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. She really made the experience even better. We started with the pork belly skewers topped with ranch, BBQ, crushed cashews, and pickled red onions -- 10/10. Huge portion and packed with flavor. The balance of sweet, tangy, and crunchy was perfect. The chicken Caesar sandwich was sooo good. It's a massive sandwich with a crispy chicken cutlet topped with Caesar salad, pickled red onions, and chickpeas. Fair warning: it's a little hard to eat because of the size, but completely worth it. The dressing leans more vinegar-forward than creamy, which I personally loved. I'd honestly order it again just as a salad. The truffle parm fries were another 10/10 -- loaded with parmesan and full of flavor. The stout braised beef melt was amazing. Tons of meat and the flavors blended together perfectly. Definitely a standout. The pub chips with added Cajun seasoning were okay -- not bad, just nothing super special compared to everything else. As longtime fans of their previous food truck, we're so impressed with what they've grown into as a restaurant. It's clear they've kept the quality while elevating the whole experience. We'll absolutely be back!

    came from Charlotte to try Elk Ave Tavern after seeing a TikTok food review claiming it had one of…read morethe "top five cheesesteaks," so I went in with pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed. I ordered the cheesesteak, which was the main reason for my visit, and it just didn't live up to the hype. The bread was soggy, the meat was very small diced instead of the ribeye-style cuts you'd expect from a good cheesesteak, and the cheese tasted more like Kraft than anything premium. Overall, it was very bland and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. For $18 and about a 20-minute drive, I honestly expected much more. On the positive side, the Brussels sprouts were amazing -- easily the standout item from my visit. They were flavorful and cooked really well. The fries were fine too, but fries are fries and it's hard to mess those up. The staff were very nice and attentive, and the food came out in about 10-15 minutes, which I appreciated. The restaurant itself is a small, quaint place located in downtown Rock Hill across from the public library. I didn't have trouble parking, but it was around 12:30 on a Wednesday and the lot and nearby street parking were both pretty full, so I could see it being tighter during busier times. I also noticed this location used to be called Sweet Tea back around 2020 when they served chicken and waffles, so it was interesting to see how the space has changed. The menu overall isn't very large, and since I mainly came for the cheesesteak and it didn't meet my expectations, I don't see myself returning. In my personal opinion, Cheat's Cheesesteak Parlor still has the best cheesesteak in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. I really wanted to love this place, but based on this visit, it just didn't deliver for me.

The food was also fantastic! My burger was so delicious! They have a great craft beer selection too so this is definitely my kind of place! Bad Daddy's is certainly one of the best places to get a nice burger that's reasonably priced as well! They have many chef inspired burgers to choose from or you can build your own. The burgers are always perfectly cooked with a slight crunch to the outside that makes them really stand out above other places. One thing that I really like is that you can choose most any side without an up charge. For instance, last time I was there I got the Ceasar salad and it was quite good. I love fries (who doesn't?!) but being able to choose other sides allows me to balance things out some as I try to limit the amount of fried foods that I consume. They have craft beer and a full bar and the drinks are reasonably priced. I ordered a spicy margarita and it was very tasty! I have been several times but I'm just now writing this review. In summary, Bad Daddy's is a great place to grab a nice burger in a casual but very nice atmosphere. I want to give a BIG shoutout to them for recognizing our veterans with a free burger on Veterans Day! Cheers!
