Bad Daddy's Burger Bar - Raleigh, North Carolina

Robert Dixey

Overall Score: 2.9/10 – A disappointing experience overall, with slow service, underwhelming menu options, and a rushed atmosphere, despite decent food quality.

Atmosphere and Service: 1.9/10 – The outside of the establishment appears decent, with outdoor seating that looks run-down in colder weather. The interior has a bar-like vibe with varied seating options, which is a nice touch. However, the service was subpar; the waitress seemed rushed, offered minimal engagement, and failed to provide updates on the long wait for food. Cold fries and no inquiry about appetizers further added to the negative impression. Additionally, having the word “ass” in the menu feels unnecessarily vulgar, detracting from the restaurant’s professionalism.

American Burger: 6.2/10 – The patty was the highlight of this dish, offering a good size and bold flavor. The price was fair, especially with savings from skipping cheese, but the iceberg lettuce felt like a cheap addition. The bun was plain but allowed the patty’s flavor to stand out, making the burger enjoyable despite its simplicity.

I’ve been to Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar a few times now. I can definitely say, this is one of the better burger joints around. The burgers are always cooked perfectly and they are decent sized. Got to try their Mozzarella Medallions, which were so good, so cheesy, pulling it apart was extremely satisfying. Also got the Bad Daddy’s Amber Ale Queso & Chips which were good. The queso dip is on the better side. I have yet to be disappointed by my visits to any of the locations!

It was busy the day I ate there. waitress did her job getting drinks and food. I understand waitress had several tables to work and I didn’t expect a “VIP” welcoming experience like other reviewers expected. Service is what you expect for such a restaurant. Kind of fast paced. Burgers were AMAZING!!! Delicious and on point visually and all. I will be coming back for more and I will be brining more people to experience the BAD ASS BURGER!! That thing is a delicious monstrosity! Someone reviewer got offended over the name, geez it ain’t that serious. It made me laugh when my son saw it in the menu and asked if it was ok for him to order it hahah. This is a good place to come eat with fam and friends!

This was my first time at Bad Daddy’s. I went there for my lunch break and it was overall a good experience. My waitress was okay but she never once smiled at me, nor came to refill my drink or check on me more than just once, so not sure if she was having a good start of the day or not but I saw the other waiters serve the other tables with a smile and constantly made sure they were ok. Besides the service, I really felt it was a great place to have lunch and/or dinner. It was very clean and the food was amazing. I ordered the new salmon sandwich and it tasted better than I expected. The fries were also really good. I will definitely be coming back!!

3 times. HAIR IN THE FOOD! What is wrong with this location? Use hair nets or something. Groom yourselves. First time eating in, as soon as the waitress left to refund my meal (which I appreciate, the servers are awesome) another table yelled they had hair in their food too! Was a local place to get food but this is ridiculous and not at all worth it. First a hair in the burger. Then a hair in the side sauce and now.... Bam, right inside the to go container.

The waitress was great however it took a long time to get our food. Some members in our group complained that their food was cold. Others enjoyed their food.

Ordered delivery through Uber. Turkey burger is undercooked, badly. Bacon was undercooked too. Only getting 2 stars because the hommade chips are fantastic.

Yummm! I ordered the maxed out bacon cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. So juicy and delicious, quality beef. Nice server and cool atmosphere. I will definitely eat here again.
