About

About Bad Daddy's Burger Bar

Bad Daddy's Burger Bar was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has grown into one of the Southeast's most beloved craft burger destinations, with more than 50 locations spread across states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and beyond. The brand built its reputation on a simple but ambitious premise: serve genuinely creative, made-to-order burgers using quality ingredients and bold flavor combinations that go well beyond the traditional burger joint.

What sets Bad Daddy's apart is its commitment to culinary creativity at the bar-and-grill level. The kitchen churns out signature burgers with house-made condiments — from smoked bacon jam to verde sauce — paired with hand-cut fries and an extensive rotating craft beer list that spotlights local and regional breweries. The full bar, lively atmosphere, and hand-spun milkshakes make it equally appealing to families and adults looking for a quality burger and a cold draft beer.

The brand has remained independently spirited even as it expanded, maintaining a menu that changes with seasons and incorporates local flavors. The dining room experience is casual and welcoming, with a focus on scratch-made components and generous portions. For burger fans across the Southeast, Bad Daddy's has become a regional institution — a place where a night out for burgers feels a little more special than the average fast-casual chain.
