Monica Thompson
Had a great experience at Bad Daddy’s Burgers in North Carolina! The inside is a little small and on the darker side, but it has a cozy atmosphere with unique decorations on the walls. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. Our waitress was originally from Lanham, Maryland, and had moved to North Carolina—she was so welcoming and attentive. The food arrived quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. The drinks were great too! If you’re ever in the Winston-Salem area, I highly recommend giving Bad Daddy’s a try. You won’t be disappointed!

The service was great here and the food tasted great. That being said, I don't feel like it was worth the money. The burger I got was rather small and to add a side was another $3.50, which was only a small bowl of tater tots. They do have a great beer and cocktail selection and the atmosphere was super chill. Other than that, this seemed like your typical overpriced chain restaurant.

The burger was one of the best I ever had. I recommend trying some of everything, but do forget the devil eggs. They was deep fried so they had a crunch on the outside but side as ever in the inside.. perfect!!

I had the wings, and they were huge. Fried pickles were good, as well. Don't see many spots with an Old Fashioned listed as a menu drink, so I had to try one to see what I thought. Hit the spot. So I recommend having one and grabbing some grub while you're at it. Thanks to the server for her patience, we took awhile to leave.

Love their “create your own” options for salads and burgers as well as their strawberry lemonade. The atmosphere it a typical restaurant bar and is pretty loud. I’d prefer music to be slightly quieter at lunch and they did turn it down a little when requested today. We were there early and there were only a few people there - the energy just didn’t match the crowd…. But they were somewhat accommodating and it’s what I’d expect from that type of space. Overall I recommend and it’s one of my staples when I want a burger or salad

I went about a year ago and had a decent time. The waitress forgot one thing for our family but wasn’t the problem. We ordered multiple mixed drinks and they brought each one out incorrectly. Food was really good and I recommend their food but I would hope that the drink quality has since increased.

The food was delicious and well portioned. The waitress that attended to us was friendly and helpful. She also too very hood care of our dog LambChop. We would definitely visit the establishment again.
Mike Shank
The food was excellent and the service was top notch. Shayla was our server and she was very attentive. The atmosphere was cool and the music was excellent. It seems to be a very happening place --even for a Wednesday night. I would highly recommend checking this place out!
