Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar

Great service, really good burger. Congrats to whoever manages it on an extremely diverse staff that is also super cheerful and friendly.

The food is ok.
The beer amd fries are good, but the burger itself was a bit messy.
The chicken was tinyband the lettuce fell apart as the sandwich was assembled.
The waitstaff is quick and attentive, and kept in mind that we had a flight to catch while on a layover.
Not the greatest but worth checking out if you have an hour or two to kill.

It will do if needed. The chili was pretty good, tasted a little processed, but for airport food, it will suffice in a hurry. The sliders were not yummy. We went to Bad Daddy’s after getting chicken tenders that were not fully cooked at another restaurant seconds away in Gate C,.
The floor was a little slippery which was odd because it looked liked it was an anti slip surface. I told the hostess and she said a cleaning crew was coming tonight or tomorrow because they had an incident yesterday or the day before. I’d pick this last, but it will do in a hurry.

Great bar service and the food comes out fast! Tater totes and beer is the way to go if you only have an hour delay. Spicy brown honey mustard has a great kick to it.

Glad I choose this place to spend time awaiting a connecting flight. The detour was welcoming and food was good. That’s all that is needed when traveling.

This place is amazing!!! I love Tatiana! She is so friendly and nice telling me all about the menu items. Delicious too!

great place to get a good meal if you have the time and waiting for a connecting flight. I had Mamma’s ricotta burger with a side of onion straws… very tasty! The place is crazy busy. However, the staff has this thing down and will get you in and out within a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve had some really great burgers here, and some just OK burgers. The service is super fast. I always get the tater tot instead of french fries. For some reason they just can’t do rare or medium rare, every burger comes out very well done. Once you get your meal, you should check right away to make sure that all the food is exactly how you asked for it to be. Otherwise you might not see your server again until you flag them down for the check.

I was all ready to give them three stars because it’s über hard for me to justify 4 or more in an airport. The servers are quick and efficient. There is space to roll your luggage to your table which is key in airports. But then my order of chicken wings came out. The flavor was good. The bleu cheese dressing was good and the celery crisp. But then there were the wings. The skin was flaccid! They were cooked but the skin was fatty and loose. :(A few more minutes in the fryer would have been perfect. But no. :(I salvaged some of it and then just ate the meat. So sad.

The good: might be the best-​tasting food at CLT. OK, not unqualified and stupendous praise given the competition, but my plain ol’ burger was really pretty good. Bun was fresh, good grill-​ish meat flavor, reasonably tasty veggies on top, good condiments including the onion straw dip. I was surprised, frankly.
The OK: $ 13 airport money, with tip. Just a burger and fries. Nothing else. Not too cheap, not a great value, but about par for airport food prices of that quality.
The bad: I wanted onion straws, not fries. It took a loooong time, or so it seemed, to get my food — not a good choice for a 1-​hour layover unless you like living dangerously. The bartender was not too familiar with Southern hospitality. More of a backwoods-​bar bouncer vibe.
Go there, I guess. I’ll probably be back if I’m too hungry to make it to my next stop.

Stopped here for breakfast the other day before a flight. The service was good, both pleasant and efficient. The food not so much. I got the Popeyes scramble, which was eggs mixed with spinach, mushrooms and feta. The scrambled eggs were overcooked (they had a dark brown crust), there was approximately ½ piece of spinach in the entire dish, and the feta tasted off, not delicious at all. The sides were subpar as well. The toast was simultaneously burnt and cold/​doughy (very strange) and the potatoes were meh. Wish I could have gotten fruit but they were out.
I know we are at the airport, but my breakfast was pretty much inedible. If you are stuck here in the AM, I would recommend the omelette, that’s what the husband ordered and he found it quite tasty.

Traveling is tough enough. Having to track down a server six times during breakfast is excessive. I simply: 1. Wanted to order 2. Wanted sweetener for the coffee 3. Wanted butter or jelly for the dry toast 4. Wanted a top off of my coffee 5. Wanted to get a check 6. Wanted to pay.
These seem like simple things. As for my breakfast, if you like grey/​brown eggs… Eat here.

Gate C, just a few steps down from where my plane let out was this place. The idea of a burger for lunch after having only ½ a sandwich for breakfast — one that was dry over all. was really a great idea.
The husbeast concurred and we stopped in. I want to say the greeters were friendly, but they were carrying on a conversation and we waited about 30 seconds to be acknowledged, Once acknowledged, we were finally sat. The place was HOPPING! Busy, and I guess that’s to be expected. The burger selection is huge — as to be expected from a Burger Bar. And the food is tasty. I had a make your own burger — with tots. HOLY CRAP the amount of tots they gave me was pretty large. The husbeast had one of their Bacon Cheese burgers on Steroids with fries. He loved it.
The service was a bit slow, but given the amount of folks there, That could be forgiven.

This was actually my second visit here. The service is quick, which is always nice when dining before a flight. This place just seems to function well. There is a host (ess) outside ready to seat you. The waiters are on top of things. I was greeted as soon as I sat down, my order was taken and I was checked in on frequently.
There aren’t many televisions here, but they do have a few. They offer traditional seating, bar seating, and store front carry out. There is a separate area out front to order items to go.
The menu is pretty decent. They offer typical appetizers, an array of hamburgers, salads and more. What really caught my eye was that you can sub out your meat. I had a bbq burger and subbed in grilled chicken. It was great! I splurged for a side of tots and was not disappointed. It came with a sweet/​tangy dipping sauce that I couldn’t seem to put down.
If you’re in the C terminal and have the time I recommend you try it out!

I was ready for my usual airport food as I travel in and out of airports weekly, I had a little more time and opted for something other than my normal slice of pizza. This place was packed, couldn’t get a seat at the bar but the hostess got me seated really quick. Service is on point and quick as well without feeling rushed but If you have a flight to catch they will get you in and out.
I started with the enchilada soup, this is the best complaint I can ever give… It was so flipping hot I had to wait for a bit to eat it, and that alone made me smile. I was starving and did wish a was a bit cooler but holy cow, no one will ever whine about cold soup here.
I opted for the mama (rosa)? burger. Fresh mozzarella and olive oil with a pepper and tomato. It was cooked to perfection. One one gripe is it did sit in the windo for a minute so the juice made the bun soggy. I’ll ask for a grilled bun next time. I do eat my burgers MR so there was definitely blood in the bun… The favors were awesome and again, server on point making sure everything was great.
So final result, Charlotte airport found a winner!

Awesome, friendly, sweet Southern service despite being in a crazy busy airport with burgers worth sinking your teeth into! Definitely a solid 3.5÷5 in my book.
Even though it’s not the best or most gourmet burger you’ll ever have, it’s definitely better than any fast food you’ll find anywhere, let alone any burger you’ll find in an airport. There’s a bunch of options on the menu for everyone’s different tastes, and honestly even if you don’t like any of them, the menu also has a section where you can make your own custom burger from a list of something like 30 different ingredients. Thoughtful for even the pickiest of eaters!
If you’re worried about time — I’d say it’s probably nothing worth fretting over. My friend and I were easily out within 45 mins from sitting down and placing our order to finishing our last bites and paying the bill. The staff clearly seem to know sometimes there can be a bit of a rush, so they’re happy to hurry you out when you need to run to catch your plane, but at the same time, they’re happy to let you take your time as well if you have a longer wait or layover.
Overall, a really solid establishment. I would definitely be back if only for the thoughtfulness of the staff that work there!

Every time I come through this airport. I have to stop for a decent bite. There good and quick to get you on your flight. The food is always fresh and the service is always friendly and quick.
It’s on my way to my connection so it’s perfect.
I never had a bad meal so it’s my go to place when I travel.

Still a really great burger. Way better than anything you’d get from a certain «king» or a red headed lady. Made to order, great toppings and good sides. I loved my tots with a bit of ketchup and some Sriracha from my
. Mmm… filling.
If you sit by the window, you get a great view of the ramp with the Charlotte skyline in the background.
One complaint. $ 8.99 for a domestic draft?

I don’t know what happened today, but the service was horrible. The food even worse, which is a surprise since I normally come here about 3 – 4 times per month and it has been a pleasant experience.
They don’t even seemed to care actually and it was obvious they lack leadership. I won’t be back!

Anywhere else this would be two stars but +1 for the airport curve.
They serve very hearty salads with fresh greens and you can add grilled chicken. The chicken isn’t spectacular and the burgers look overdone but the scene is fun and rock n’ roll, the servers prompt, and it beats the bad packages or faux fancy salad options in the airport.
