Chill atmosphere, lots of beer and amazing one of a kind burgers. my only beef is the semi-confusing beer menu. Everything in blue is an either or situation. They give you a brewery name and the two beers they produce and you really don’t know which one is available until your server tells you. There worded it, «which one do you want, X isn’t available.» So why can’t you just say X isn’t available instead of making it seem like a choice. I have never felt so stupid ordering beer. But on the plus side our server really knows his beer and helped us make good choices. I had my first poutine and it was delicious! I have nothing to compare it to though. The cheese curds were blocks instead of the usual misshapen blobs Im used to. I had a burger with bacon, fig, and goat cheese. It as a flavor explosion. Sweet, tang, salty. Wow!

Tried this restaurant a couple weeks ago. It was pretty busy when we got there, but we didn’t have to wait too long for a table, maybe 5 minutes. I ordered their warm rum cocktail. SOGOOD! AND my husband ordered a beer. He seemed to enjoy his drink too. We both ordered burgers. They were massive and well cooked. We don’t live too far, so I can see us going here occasionally.

Love Bad Apple. Always a wait for dinner. Lunch is more accessible, but still busy! I love the South Western Cobb Salad. It’s so good, and makes me feel better about myself after devouring the Cheese Curds, Get the Cheese Curds! Boyfriend orders something different every time, and loves it all. Great selection of beers and ciders. Absolutely, eat at Bad Apple!

i can have a feast off their sides… the brussels sprouts with pecorino?! wowzers. i guess that’s the biggest let down– that i can’t have that at will bc they rotate out the sides. but the strange famous keeps me happy. so happy to have a «different» veggie burger. i’m not a fan of the roll on which it’s served so i need to remember to swap that out. great, great, fun, fun service/servers. i also appreciate that they have a «romper room» for us to enjoy with our little one or the«adult room» when we want to enjoy a sippy cup free dinner.

We checked out The Bad Apple since we were craving cheese curds. Here’s what we got: Poutine special($ 10) — house cut fries, chipotle braised pork butt, black beans, corn, onion, pork jus and cheese curds Verdict: delicious!!! It was very flavorful and the sauce soaked into the fries. We just wished there were some more cheese curds– there were only 3. Cheese curds with buttermilk ranch($ 8) Verdict: definitely satisfied our craving! They were light, crispy, and had a great texture. The cheese was very tasty too. The ranch it comes with was okay, but I preferred their housemade ketchup– give it a try! I accidently poured too much but ended up finishing it since it was so good. Butter beer($ 7.50) — a mix of crabbie’s alcoholic ginger beer and butterscotch liqueur Verdict: delicious! A great concept that you can easily make at home too. Bad apple takes manhattan($ 8) — overholt rye whiskey, bitters, sweet vermouth, spiced dragon’s milk syrup and a beer of their choice served neat with a cherry Verdict: very strong for a beer cocktail! Chocolate mousse($ 4) — made with decadent van leer bittersweer chocolate, topped with whipped cream Verdict: a tasty way to end your meal. It is very small but is enough for 2 to share. The mousse is very dense and not fluffy, so just a little goes a long way. I would highly recommend this bar– It is clean, service is friendly, and the food and drinks are delicious and fairly priced. We will definitely be back to try their burgers and sandwiches!

The atmosphere and the awesome staff really put this place over the top for me. 1. they didn’t(openly) judge us packers fans… 2. they gave my bf a complimentary whiskey shot for his Antonio Freeman jersey. I’ve had the burgers twice and they are delicious and their beer selection is awesome. I’m not crazy about the fries but you can upgrade your fries for a dollar!

I love coming to Bad Apple for many reasons. The food. The burgers are damn good and they make it as rare and bloody as I’d like. Of course, they will make it well done as well. The fries are fresh cut and delicious. They make their own ketchup too, which tastes like it doesn’t have as much sugar as Heinz. I prefer Bad Apple ketchup any day. The drinks. They have a very good and rotating beer selection and good cocktails. The ambiance. The place is never loud but has some background jams playing. In the side room, there is a Pacman game table and a shuffle board. The service is always pleasant, efficient and prompt.
