Chattanoogans love a new restaurant, and Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar is no exception to the rule. I’d been looking forward to trying it since it opened in early April, but was worried about the crowds that inevitably descend on new places in town, so my family opted for a late lunch on a recent Saturday.
Situated in a new strip of restaurants across from Starbucks on Gunbarrel Road, the place was hopping, with a 25-minute wait to be seated at 2 p.m. I can’t imagine how long it would take for a table for a weekend dinner. But after the meal I had, I’m willing to bet you’ll be glad you toughed it out.
