Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar – Southlands

Was very disappointed with the burger. It had no flavor or seasoning. Five guys is better and a lot less money.

I enjoyed my visit here alright, but the service was a bit slow and the price a bit too high. The food itself was okay, but what really makes this place great is the sheer number of options you have. The customization is fantastic. Just leave a little extra time if you wanna stop here before a movie.

When I walked in I felt very welcomed by the hostess and my waiter was very nice during my experience. However, I had some complications with my salad. They forgot a couple of ingredients on my salad so I asked if I could get it completed, the manager came up and said it was so problem to get it fixed. When I got my salad back I noticed that they had forgotten my chicken. My friend called the manager over again and told him that my salad was still incomplete. He looked at us with as if there was nothing wrong with the salad and when I told him that my chicken wasn’t there he looked at me and said he didn’t order the chicken on it. I thought it was inconsiderate that he didn’t give me a COMPLETED salad and felt completely fine with giving it to me. The food was still really good and the servers were fantastic just that the general manager Jacob, made me feel confronted and uncomfortable.

I love this place for the burgers (especially vegan burger) and being able to customize them and name them! I also love the sweet potato fries! Great place, will continue to go here!

So tried a new burger place today and all though the food was good the order was wrong and the service sucked! We ordered a create your own burger and even tho they have little order papers they messed up, and then when it came to the customer service they were nowhere to be found and had to flag people down to be taken care of. All I can say is SAD! Because the food is good when made right

Amazing burgers! Seriously one of the best burgers I’ve had in my life! I ordered the bad daddy medium rare, super juicy!!!
The buttermilk bacon is absolutely decadent and to die for… Perfect topping for such an amazing burger. Last, I substitute cream cheese for it and it makes every bite a masterpiece– sweet, savory and impeccably delectable.
GO THERE NOW! You won’t be disappointed

Having heard such great things about Bad Daddy’s from others and feeling particularly hungry after a day of errands and pampering I decided it was my turn to try ‘em out.
I swang in at about 2 o’clock and grabbed a table in the bar area. Works great for me since I was flying solo that day. The bartender was also my server and he was quite friendly. He reviewed the menu and made a couple suggestions based on both popularity and personal preference. Then he gave me ample time to make my choice. They have quite a few options ranging from gluten-​free, salads, to build your owns. I opted for BD’s All American Burger with American cheese and a side tots. It was definitely tasty. Though once I cut it in half it got pretty messy. Not to worry they anticipate these things and have a roll of paper towels on the table for you when the one napkin just wont cut it.
I didn’t get a chance to sample any of the beer offerings, but there were definitely some great local names topping that tap list. Can’t wait to grab some friends and come back for a HH or three!

Been in one time. Burgers were solid. Service was fine.
Would recommend and go back in the future.

Oh. My. Gawd! Amazing!!! Best burger I’ve ever had! We got the BBQ chicken salad and the bacon burger on steroids and wow! The salad was very fresh and delicious but the burger was perfect. We got fries and tator tots. The tator tots weren’t special. The fries were very salty, in a good way. And the dip they served with them was not short of delicious. Good, service, atmosphere I have zero complaints.

Upon a buddy’s recommendation, I tried this a while back. Not too shabby. The décor is interesting and the waitstaff seems lively and friendly. Very little room in the entrance/​waiting area; getting in & out of the restaurant can be a bit of a squeeze. The fried pickles were a bit pricy for what they are, but pretty good nonetheless. I ordered a buffalo chicken burger which was tasty but way too big and juicy for the standard bun it came on (halfway through, my bottom bun was soaked and soggy). Perhaps the kitchen management should consider offering this burger on a higher quality bun by default, such as a ciabatta. Fries were top shelf, I suspect they cut the potatoes in-​house. As with any business in this part of Southlands, expect to park a distance away and hoof it.

Great, tasty burger. Wonderful app selection with a beer or cocktail. Nice patio space!

We’ve only been in once, but it was such a great experience, it was worth a review.
I’m a big burger fan. As far as «gourmet» burger joints go, Bad Daddy’s is somewhere between Red Robin and Crave Burger. Cooler and more creative than Red Robin. Not so way out there as Crave. (Sorry, no donut burgers here.)
My wife got the southwest with «red» chili (in other words… chili). The slaw is not at all creamy. Not my style, but not bad. The chili is GOOD! I could eat a big bowl of that stuff.
I got the bacon on steroids. Oh Em Gee! It was amazing!
The home made potato chips are great. The fries are perfect, good and salty.
But the best part was the service. Our waitress, Kay, was great! It’s so rare you get service that is honest enough to tell you *not* to order something. (She talked me out of the slaw, which led me to the chips).

My boyfriend and I always noticed this joint when we went to watch movies at the Southlands theater and always wanted to try it.
They always seem to be very busy. Our wait time on a friday evening was 40 minutes. but I think it was definitely worth the wait.
The backyard chicken nachos were mouth wateringly delicioussss. The pineapples were surprisingly a great match with the pulled BBQ chicken. I would definitely order this again.
I also had the Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids and it was pretty good. The bread seemed sort of flimsy and soggy. I don’t think I would order this burger again. I really want to try the Bad Ass Burger. it seems like a popular choice here.
The burgers here are HUGE! And they come with a side of fries. I tried both the regular fries and sweet potato fries and I liked them both. They do half and half if you ask :)
I will definitely come back! And take advantage of Happy Hour! It’s a $ 1 off on draft beer and they have a pretty good selection. I think Happy Hour is 3−6pm and the 8pm-​close.

**This was review was for the Greenwood Village location — my error**
Chips & fried pickle app is worth getting!
Burgers were good — happy they have grass-​fed meat!
Kids liked build your own salad and kids menu.
And the bad-​ass Margs are no joke… Delicious!
Environment was fun — it would have been nice to be there on a super sunny day as the garage-​like doors open up to the patio…

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time around 8pm on a Sunday night. We recently moved near Southlands and wanted to scope out what the area has to offer. Parking wasn’t an issue and it was pretty empty inside so we were seated immediately.
Our host and server were really great. Both asked if we were first timers and took the time to explain the menu, house specialties and guest favorites to us.
We ordered Daddy’s Nachos without meat and ended up getting it without meat, black beans, jalapeños or cilantro. So basically chips with cheese, onions, sour cream, a disappointment. We didn’t bother to send it back.
We were drawn to this restaurant by the thought of building our own salads and burgers — awesome! There are pencils and pads at the table, one specific to burgers, the other to salads. Lots of fun options and toppings for you to choose from. As you can see from the pics, both entrees were artfully assembled and absolutely delicious.
We left full and happy. We will probably go back to try some of the house favs.

Build your own burger!
Great drinks great burgers the kids had a blast too!
The fried pickles are awesome too!
The girls and I met there around 11:30 on a Wednesday and the place was packed!
Great service, great patient servers (we had 7 kids with us!) great food and you can’t beat 50 cent soft serve for the kids!

The burgers were a bit oily for me, but the choice of beers were great. The prices were not that bad and the staff was great to work with, so if you need a decent place for a lunch or dinner then I would say Bad Daddy’s is not a bad place to go for it.

Chain places really aren’t my thing if I can help it, but our friends wanted to eat here so we gave it a go…
Our server was fairly attentive. This place was popping on a Saturday night, so we had about a 40 minute wait for our table– in the bar. The bar. I’ve never had to put my name on a list just to sit in the loud, obnoxious bar area. But I digress…
I did the build your own burger. I chose a regular beef patty, traditional bun, American cheese, bacon, and mushrooms. I ordered fries as my side, with a side of ranch. My burger came cooked well as ordered… But it was just meh. The meat didn’t taste like anything– not even salt and pepper. The mushrooms tasted canned. The fries were the really thin variety, and not even crispy. The ranch was some chipotle ranch nonsense, which I didn’t eat.
I did have a cocktail– see my picture. I’m fairly sure the bartender forgot to put any liquor in it, but the juice was good.
All in all… Don’t waste your time, folks. There’s nothing to see here.

I still haven’t had chance to sit at the dining area. It’s been long wait every time I have been here. For burger and brew, people are willing to wait for more than 30 minutes. Lucked out tonight when the seats came up at the bar area.
Attentive bartenders got the drinks taken care of right away and also took the food orders.
Pros:
1. symbiotic relationship with local breweries like hall brewering, prost, dry dock, Two22 and several others. Also has big brands like the Blue Moon/​Sam Adams and the usual.
2. Perfect place to grab dinner before or after the movie next door
3. Friendly wait staff
4. Price is very competitive and generous on portions.
5. Best cheat meal you can have and biggest regret you gonna have from eating loads of delicious sweet potatoe fries, yummilicious burger and washing down with brews you can only get in Colorado.
Cons
Not much to think of at this time other than long waits. Had few large tables sitting unoccupied while people are jam packed at the front. Something is not right here.
Over all, my meal was good, service was great, my wait time wasn’t long… happy diner here. I will be back!

You can tell when a new place opens in the ‘burbs because the level of excitement and traffic is off the charts. That was Bad Daddy’s on the past opening weekend. It was practically busting at the seams with people waiting inside and out.
I will say they managed the crowds well and our wait in a seemingly sea of people was short (15m). We were sat in the bar area at a pub table and our waitress came right over. She was very friendly and explained the menu and pointed out some of the popular items. We ordered a couple beers (they have a good selection) and an order of their fried pickles.
The pickles are sandwich stacker sliced with a thin breading, fried crispy with ranch. They had a good flavor and you get a big portion. For lunch, the hubby ordered a bacon cheese burger on steroids and fries — as expected it was huge. I went with a non-​burger Burger, the Chicken Club. I have to say my club was totally different than expected in a good way. Their house made American cheese was oooey-​gooey and the combo of the chicken burger with the ham and the bacon gave a wonderful flavor. The fries were plentiful, although a touch limp.
Honestly, I loved everything about the place. The open rafters, the big bar, friendly service and hearty food. I think it goes in the regular rotation!
