Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern

Restaurant was less than half full, even then, service was horrible, the server didn’t know if we were his table or not, it took 35 minutes for two shakes to come out, 50 minutes for food to be delivered to the table, at the end, the server typed in the wrong amount of cash that was given, so our change was off. Won’t be back.

Went here for the first time with the family. Since my girlfriend and I are vegetarians, we had the black bean veggie burgers.
The burger was really good although they started to fall apart. Didn’t like some of the things that came on the burger (pico da gallo, and guac). I was able to swap out those options. The fries were okay, I appreciated having the dipping sauce on the side but the fries could have been better.
Loved the milkshake and the homemade lemonade (it was refreshing and delicious).
I plan on going back next time I am in town. Always a plus when there are vegetarian options!

Went to dinner the other night with my boyfriend and we decided to try something new so we went to Bagger Dave’s. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. The deal breaker for me was that you can’t order your burger medium rare. I ordered my burger medium instead and it seemed to be over cooked and it was so greasy. When I picked it up, the grease just dripped all over my shirt and hands. On the other hand, their custom soda’s were really good and the ingredients were fresh and the fries were tasty. We also tried the cupcakes. The server told us they won cupcake wars with their cupcakes. I had a hard time believing that The cupcake it very cold chewy. The frosting was pretty good but I’ve definitely had better.

Took my son for his birthday. for us it’s a bit of a drive. But this was his request. Drove 14 miles. Got there and it was a 15 minute wait, turns out 15 minutes became 20. I get it that happens. I looked in dinning area and see at least 12 tables cleared. And ready. So not sure why the wait. Server gave us menus, asked if we need a few minutes and we said yes. It took her 15 minutes to get back to us to take our order. She was to wrapped up in conversation with another couple. So My experience was Bagger Dave’s. Is wait and wait again and then wait again to pay your tab. You think they would at least run to collect there money. I still tipped 20% I could never not pay gratuity. But I sure did not feel it was earned. Its a shame it’s only have 2.5 overall stars on this location

Horrible! Fries boring, food expensive. When going to a restaurant food should be better then what I can make at home. I had the turkey burger and seemed like it had no seasoning when cooked. Turkey burgers are not like beef burger that people enough the rare taste. I have noticed that many people are posting how great the service is maybe because it’s always so slow. This is no reflection on the management that is running the location this review is for the Corp. Change and create better food so people return. One time was enough for me to taste and never return. Maybe visit a local burger place named Mercury bar to obtain some tips on good tasting food. Bottom line: Save ur money. Disappointing really wanted woodhaven city to have a good restaurant.

I’m a over the road Truck driver wanted to try this place outat first I was hesitant because the place was almost empty so I decided to go in anyways sit at the bar and order some food to eat after a long day at work first of all the bartender that works there needs to change your attitude a big blonde I don’t even know her namecan’t miss her anyways I order one beer never asked me if I want another one my food, she puts it in front of me doesn’t give me any silverware doesn’t come back and asked me how my foot is does Ace me if I want another drink that I has for my check after I was finished eating she didn’t even say thank you so I taught her a lesson she only got a dollar 50 worth of tips don’t recommend this place

My first time here at the Woodhaven location. I ate at the location in Novi. sometime ago. I wasn’t overly impressed but thought I would give it another shot since this place was «local».
First indication of what the quality of the restaurant is how full the parking lot is. Friday night at 6 o’clock and there are lots of empty parking spots. That should have been my first red flag.
Menu is limited but it’s a burger place so I expected nothing less. Service and staff seem very friendly. How ever the food was subpar at best. I ordered a chicken (I know… It’s a burger place but I wasn’t feeling up for anything meaty) sandwich that tasted like it was frozen, microwaved and slapped onto a bun.
I sent the «food» back and did not request a replacement. The restaurant was nice enough to credit my bill and apologize. Remainder of my family enjoyed their meal. My standards aren’t super high. But this place more than underwhelmed me.

Bagger Dave’s is a great restaurant, but it is not for me. I’ll go every once in a while, because their food is good. They have some menu items which are delicious and not commonly found everywhere, like spicy mac and cheese. It’s a good restaurant with a great menu, so I will definitely not knock it.
The reason I am more inclined to take my business elsewhere, is because of the price. For what you get, you will be shocked when you see your bill. It’s slightly more expensive than the Buffalo Wild Wings located right next door. Also, I like trying craft or micro beers once in a while, but this restaurant does not have any draft beers except for their ‘house’ beers. They aren’t too bad, but if you’re looking for a bud light you’ll get stuck with a bottle. It’s just not my thing.

When you consider the farm raised turkeys, all the organic stuff, and how the food is actually good quality; then the price does fall into place. To me it was worth the money, and I will come back.

When they first opened, I was super giddy. I had a positive experience near the Brighton area and was anxious to eat more good burgers and drink homemade soda.
I have gone here three times, now, and I just can’t reproduce the same love I had.
The buns are always poorly toasted, they taste like they’ve been out too long.
The meat is cooked okay, but not seasoned much, which makes the eater have to heavily rely on the sauces.
The service has been anywhere from adequate to poor and I always leave full, but not fulfilled saying, «I don’t think I’ll come back here, ever again.»
And yet, like any rocky relationship, I come back hoping that things will be different.
Come to think about it, I wonder if they’ve changed since the last time I was there. Maybe they HAVE changed. I’ll give them one more chance.

Service was good, food was not good at all. Mac n cheese was watery, burgers burnt and over cooked, salad was wilted and brown, with too much dressing. My wife liked the house salad.
There is much better burgers out there, too bad, this place is a cool concept.

Everytime I drive by this restaurant the parking lot is nearly empty, so I guess I should have taken the hint, but my father really wanted to try this restaurant so we stopped by. We walked into a very loud and nearly empty restaurant. We were greated and seated pretty fast. The waitress asked for our drink orders, but they don’t have regular soda, only special Michigan pop. Michigan is known for some wonderful things, but apparently pop is not one of them. It was awful. We ordered our food and then we waited. And waited. And waited. Fast forward almost a half hour (in a restaurant that was not even ¼ full) and we finally get our food. My father got the taco salad. It was too soggy to really eat. I got a BBQ burger cooked medium well. It was still much closer to mid rare, but it probably wouldn’t have been edible even if it was cooked right. The bacon was like rubber, the tomato was almost green, and the lettuce (just a tiny sliver) was wilted. It was practically drowning in BBQ sauce. The fries, which cost extra in a burger bar, were greasy and cold. The waitress never came back after we got our food except to drop off the bill.
Overall, I will not be going back. It was a very disappointing experience. There are plenty of bars downriver with better burgers and better prices.

One and done. My grown sons and I were looking forward to trying this new restaurant. It is very clean inside and has a lot of TVs. Kind of like a buffalo wild wings for hamburgers.
We were seated upon arrival to a less than full restaurant. Good. Unfortunately the rest of the service was the worst I’ve had in years. We eat out often. This was especially poor.
Our hamburgers were cooked correctly seated next to cold french fries. The special dipping sauce that supposed to come with the french fries was missing along with the staff. This is the type of restaurant where your waiter doesn’t bring the food to the table. And your waiter does not come to the table either.
So enjoy your hamburger and your initial drink. Because that’s it. The manager did come by before the food was ordered or delivered to see if we were enjoying ourselves. How peculiar since nothing had been served and we never saw the manager again.
I was supposed to get a carry out for our daughter. But that waitress just put down my $ 45 check for 3 for hamburgers and said ‘let me know when it’s ready’. So much for asking if we needed anything else or maybe a refill?
Probably because I’m older I tend to leave a larger tip for hard working wait staff. Not a chance this time. Lowest tip I left in decades. I really don’t like that.

Their burgers and fries are consistent no matter the BD location. We like their burgers, which will be pink if ordered medium.
My latest choice was the absolute best — 8oz, medium, Cajun seasoning, Swiss cheese, light mayo and double portion of sautéed mushrooms. Perfection!
A tip: if you’re creating your own burger and ordering fries, and you don’t want the free sauce on your burger, considering getting it in the side for another fry dip.
This location no longer gets as packed as it did upon first opening. We’ve never had to wait for a table… but we’ve not been there for weekend dinner.
Good amount of TVs on the walls.
Bar has craft and regular beers. Try their made from scratch sodas, especially the 4-​pack sampler.

Burgers are their specialty. But if you order a regular burger without cheese, expect to get yours after everyone is finished eating. My poor mother ordered a regular hamburger without cheese. So when they fixed her order, we had eaten our meals already while she nibbled on fries. All three of us agreed their fries are great but it pairs nicely with your burger. My meal was tasty but slightly over cooked for a medium well blu cheese burger. They use a pretzel bun with gives a rich texture but I find it filling and takes away from the prime rib pattie recipe these use. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful. I felt bad for her. The restaurant wasn’t busy but she had to wait too long for our orders. And I had to request a new set of utensils. As mine was found to enclose a dirty knife. :/

This is my second time here. I was here the week they first opened. Our food was good then but the wait to get in was horrible especially since not all the seats were occupied.
Forward to today. No wait to get a seat. The food was good. I had the blue cheese burger with fries. The blue cheese was a little saltier than I like but still good. We had the chips with pico de gallo. I really like the pico de gallo. I had a Train-​wreck ale which the board said was 8.2 abv. I asked the waitress if it was served in a the snifter. This is common for high abv beers. She said no but I could get it in the snifter. I was surprised when I received the bill and found out I paid for the larger glass of beer. If I would have known I would have had my beer in the pint glass.
The only thing that ruined my experience was when a large party came in. It was a group of parents with very young children. The staff sat them at the high top tables in the area I would call the bar. My issue was that the group would not settle in. The waitress walked one of the babies on a tour of restaurant. The parent were standing directly behind me bouncing three babies. The waitress banged three baby carriers against my chair. Before stacking them on a nearby unoccupied table. Then they ran high chairs into my chair. I had to get up and change seats at my table. I sort expect this at a busy bar but there wasn’t many people here on a Sunday at 3pm

I LOVED my experience at the Traverse City location a few weeks ago so we decided to go here on a Friday night for a big family dinner.
The wait was atrocious but we expected that on a Friday. It was also OBSCENELY loud in there. I get it, it’s kind of a trendy bar atmosphere, but we weren’t sitting anywhere near the bar and it was a struggle for us to talk amongst ourselves as a family because of all the obnoxious drunks all around us. What are ya gonna do? Not go there on a Friday I guess ;)
The reason this experience scored ²⁄₅ wasn’t because of the service (which was great) or the atmosphere (which is out of their control except for their very loud music), but because the food SUCKED. I was so surprised. I thought my tuna melt in Traverse City was honestly the best one I had ever eaten. I put that in my Unilocal!review!
I ordered the exact same thing here. I guess it goes to prove that they do make everything on site and not the typical Applebees type way where they open a package of pre-​made food that is the same at every location. The tuna melt was subpar and the macaroni and cheese tasted like the chef accidentally dumped the entire pepper shaker in the pot. Everyone at the table felt their food was definitely over peppered, and with a picky kid at the table who hates pepper and a baby who hates noise, we really just didn’t have the same experience as their other location. For the cost of their food, we were definitely disappointed.
Just a side note: DO NOT waste your time or money on the honey cinnamon milkshake. It tasted like sour milk. :)

First we had to endure a 40 minute wait. I don’t mind waiting so much, except when I can see a good ¹⁄₃ of the tables are open! It’s Friday night people, plan accordingly! I’d still rather be seated at a table with a drink waiting than in the vestibule. Bad management planning — 1 star gone.
So we ordered the food, and I’m told that they’ll only go medium to well-​done on a burger (2^nd star gone). Sacrilege! I normally order my burger medium rare, so I’m none too happy that I can’t get it my way (I know, wrong restaurant). I go ahead and order the basic cheeseburger, with all of the toppings on the side, and an order of fries. The food comes out in decent time and the burger is actually cooked closer to medium rare than medium (happy me). It’s got a nice flame grilled crust on it, and is juicy & tasty. The cheese was just basic & bland, and woefully in need of some kaizen. The bun to burger ratio was good, and it came with a large dill pickle that was an excellent accompaniment. The «on the side» condiments (lettuce, onions, tomato) could have served as a salad if I had ordered dressing as a side (which is offered). When I mention this in jest to the server, I got a severe stink eye as a reply. The fries were actually pretty good. My one and only complaint there would be that they were all less than an inch long. Why? Was there a sale on stumpy potato’s nobody told me about?
Service was OK, nothing stellar. The décor is pleasant if a bit mish-​mash. It’s a new building that just recently opened so everything is clean and in working order (except the stalls in the women’s bathroom. My daughter informed me they had no latches/​locks on them & she had to hold it closed while she was in there).
I think the price was actually about right for the food based on other comparable restaurants of this type. Will it fit in this area remains to be seen. I would have gone with a solid 2.5 stars if I could have. I was glad my daughter suggested Bagger Dave’s as I’d not been yet, and I’d go back, just not as a first choice.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and is different for the Woodhaven area. The food didnt take long. We made our own burger medium 8oz prime rib on pretzel bun with loaded toppings, Twisted Mac n cheese, & the fresh cut fries and the black cherry cream soda. One word to sum up all the tastes of each of the items would be, «HEALTHY,» that being sAid the food was NOT disappointing but not what we expected either. The burger was nothing special it was cooked well but maybe not such a clean/​neat presentation. The Mac n cheese was pretty good not heavy at all just light and flavorful but the entrée wasnt such a big portion for being an entrée. The fries were good and the soda wasnt so sweet that it made my teeth hurt (yes!). Overall nice new experience we will probably come again but only when we are in the mood for it not too frequent.

Not a value place to eat.
They were busy, it was lunch. We waited 9 minutes after being sat before we were acknowledged by a waitress.
They explained the menu, ok pretty interesting. No coke or Pepsi, they have their own «brews».
Looked at the menu, decided on water.
Burger and fries will put you back $ 10 plus drink.
When we received the burger, it was the same petal shaped frozen burgers that Sysco sells to restaurants yet they claim nothing is frozen.
Waitress refilled drinks once.
Bad experience. Won’t be spending our hard earned money here. Maybe I am just not trendy enough.
