Bad Daddy's Burger Bar

Service was good, they have a gf menu, but my salad came with a crouton in it after I ordered it from the gf menu.

I tried to ask if the fries were gluten free and safe for celiacs and they just told me “they’re cooked in oil so idk”. I tried to clarify and asked if they were cooked in the same fryer as things with gluten and they just said they don’t know so they wouldn’t recommend it. I asked if they could ask someone so I could know and they just said “idk” so that was incredibly unhelpful and they clearly knew nothing about being gluten free. super frustrating, j one of those interactions that makes you not want to eat at a place at all. would not recommend.

they have great GF buns or lettuce "buns". they have a seperate menu for gluten sensitive people, and have always done a good job with cooking the food safely with no cross contamination for people with celiac. i have celiac and i have never gotten sick here. they have burger and salad options, and fruit salad or chips for a side. the staff has always been great too! probably my favorite place to get a burger!!

Went here with some friends for dinner. They have a separate gluten-free menu when asked and the server was sure to note my allergy. While the fries are disappointingly not gluten-free the chips were very good. I like that they offer them and the fruit salad as a gluten-free side without an upcharge. The burger was just alright. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I would go back if others wanted to.

I was never a fan of burgers but my bf took me here and now this is one of our favorite spots. The food is always great and they make sure to mark that I have Celiac/red flag the order so the kitchen knows to change their gloves and so on. There was one time I went where they accidentally gave me a regular bun because the waitress forgot to hit the gf bun option but it’s bound to happen when you go out to eat at least once (always check). Other than that the staff is usually attentive to my needs and I definitely recommend this establishment👌🏼

They seem out of practice at Gf due to covid distractions. Waitresses know some, but they have multiple people filling a simple order, and so what was supposed to be a bag of chips came out in a bowl. While all my attention was on the bun, manager ran out to take the chips. They’d been refried in dirty oil. I asked to see their gf buns. Sealed in plastic. Texture and flavor will make you think there has been an error. Really good burger and bun.

Buns unbelievable. Burger meat wonderful. If you order medium it is pink throughout. Rarer than most places, but great.

I didn’t see Red Bridge.

Be careful. I don’t know how they did it, but 30 minuets after eating a half of a GF burger and fruit I found myself horribly glutened for the second time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff very friendly, well informed about gluten allergy and they make every effort to accommodate. No dedicated fryer so avoid fries if you are worried about cross contamination. Great choice if you are in downtown Raleigh.

Great food! Attentive staff. Dedicated dryer for the chips but not the fries. Gluten free bun was delicious and held together for my burger. I would definitely go back again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love their buns! Burger was delicious. Service is friendly and informed! Did not get sick :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a gluten free menu which was awesome and I ordered the gluten free bun. Not gonna lie it tasted like cardboard haha, but I’m still giving them 5 stars for having a lot of options!

Went right after they opened and haven't been back. Experience was embarrassing and my friends felt bad for choosing this place after my food finally got to the table. Really don't understand why this place is so popular.

Delicious burgers with a tasty gf bun, and some good sides to choose from (not fries). They carry a gf beer as well, lately the Omission Lager so it's a gluten removed beer. They likely have cider as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu-- Gluten free burger bun was great. Fresh ingredients. No dedicated fryer for French fries but offers chili, chips or salad as alternatives.

Best burgers in Raleigh. Try the Bad Ass burger. It is a great burger. Gluten free buns are not dry/crumbly. Good GF menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is fantastic! I accidently forgot to order a gf bun, and by the time I remembered they brought my meal out with a full gluten bun-ouch. I told them I was GF and they brought out a new plate with a GF bun at no charge. Very impressed and no food hangover!

Great food, love the gluten free buns and jalapeño bacon! And staff that actually knew what gluten free meant.

this is one of our reliable places. my husband has celiac and has never gotten glutened here. he says the buns are best he has ever had. whole family likes it lots!

So disappointed. You can have cow of buffalo only. No GF bun options and it was unbelievably expensive. 18$ to have buffalo cheese and bacon.

Celiac friendly?

No

My second time there. The owner came out twice to check on my food and even to check about the mushrooms to make sure they would work for me. He went to the trouble to print out the ingredients. Very conscientious!

Burger was delicious. I have to give it four stars just because it is a little confusing. Their regular burger has gluten in the seasoning. When i ordered off the gf menu and ordered Gf bun and fruit the waitress asked if I wanted my burger GF too. Wouldn't that be a given? Make sure to say you want a gf BURGER too.

Love Love Love! Best gluten free burgers!

The gluten free bun was delicious and not soggy. The menu was very clear and server knowledgeable. Service excellent and food even better. Will be back

love the gluten free burger plus they are pets friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the few places we've found that serve gluten free burgers and understand celiac. Burger was great. Will definitely visit again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf menu and delicious burger

GF menu and a waitress that knew just what no gluten means!

Gluten free bun available but no questions about the fries when ordering so unsure about fryer contamination.

Gluten free buns and burgers are great! They have a shared fryer, so the fries are cross contaminated but they have chips in a bag.

They had a variety of burgers with gf buns - it's specifically a burger bar. I tried their Buffalo burger in September 2023. Typical sides available but the menu was marked & let the waitress know to be considerate of cross contamination.
