About the Asterisk on the Menu
Many burgers carry an asterisk (*) with no key explaining it. On burger menus, that symbol usually means one of two things: a required notice about cooking beef to order, or a marker for gluten-free options. This page can’t confirm which one applies here.
If gluten-free ordering matters to you, skip the asterisk and ask your server for the gluten-free menu directly. Bad Daddy’s is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

The Birria Burger at $13.50 is the standout new item, built around slow braised birria style beef. A few other featured picks, like the Elote Street Corn Dip and Churro Crunch Shake, already appear in their regular categories below.

Founded in 2007, Charlotte, North Carolina
Frank Scibelli and Dennis Thompson opened the first Bad Daddy’s on East Boulevard in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood in 2007. Both already had restaurant success behind them. They built the menu around a scratch kitchen, not a typical fast casual playbook.
In 2015, they sold Bad Daddy’s to Good Times Restaurants Inc. for $21 million. The chain has since grown across North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
How to Save Money at Bad Daddy’s
- Order the Classic Smashburger. At $8.45, it’s the lowest priced burger on the menu.
- Build your own side salad instead of a Giant Chopped Salad for something lighter. Sides run $3.50 to $6.50, full salads run $9.75 to $15.95.
- Check for lunch specials, which typically price lower than the dinner menu for the same items.
- For groups of 8 or more, party packs usually beat ordering the same items individually.
