Kind of a hole in the wall that you wouldn't expect to be AMAZING. The atmosphere and service could be a 1/5, and I'd still go for the burger!!

First time coming here. I got the Spaulding burger with a Spaulding donut as a bun. Omg! I was a little hesitant but I will do it again! Great combination of flavors!

Came here from a website saying they were the top 10 in Kentucky...with that in mind, the burgers were flavorful and unique. Not the best burger I've had but definitely above average. Well worth the price. I ordered the bad wolf burger which comes with a Cajun burger topped with bacon, beer cheese, and onion straws. Burgers were not overwhelming in flavors like cajun can be at other location and meal was very fulfilling. Burger itself was a 7/10, customer service receives a 10/10, and the location gets a 5/10 (restaurant must have been recently changed from other locations as it has been downgraded to a new part of town, location is very outdated. Skepticism aside, Bad Wolf Burgers is well worth the trip!

Hesitations when we first arrived cause it was very empty at dinner time on a Friday night. After deciding to try it, we were pleasantly surprised with the food. They have a limited but interesting mix of burgers to choose from. It was a bit slow going waiting on the food as there were only a few people working. As we waited we did see busy picking up but appeared to be more to Go than Dine In. The burgers was really, really good. Perfectly cooked to a Medium Rare and extremely thick and juicy! The flavor combos definitely worked and were well-balanced. Not saying it was the best burger ever, but well-worth consideration of another visit. Next time just might be To Go as a nice cold beer would have really taken it to another level!

Bottom line up front: that's a tasty burger. The service is slow but understandable as there were only two people working; one cooking and one waiting on customers. The burgers were cooked perfectly.

We came to eat here on our first night in Lexington. When walking in I instantly felt the excitement of being in a new city and about to eat the "best burger in Lexington" get sucked out of me. The atmosphere is so very depressing. It's a mix between a dusty-ass VFW bar going out of business and grandma's basement. You're not in a basement but it feels like you are. While I was still optimistic that this just may be a crappy location with amazing food- That's where things got worse. No alcohol. Hmmmm you're a restaurant open for dinner that decided not to even have a cooler of canned beer? Weird and disappointing choice. The worst part about this place is the food- believe it or not. I specifically asked if I could choose the temp of my burger. She said the default was medium-rare but that we could choose. I said "great, I wanted it medium-rare". My med-rare cheese burger came out without cheese. Annoying- but I ordered tots too so I figured I'd eat the tots while i waited for the burger to be either remade or the cheese melted onto it. I brought my basket up and asked for another basket to dump the tots into so I could eat them while they fixed their mistake- and instead she hands me an ice cold piece of cheese. Not a good start. Then I bit into my medium rare burger. The meat was practically dust it was so dry and overcooked. It was completely cooked through the entire burger even in the dead center of the burger. They make ONE thing..... burgers. I should have mentioned there was one other table eating while we were there. They were not busy. I apparently ordered their standard item. They should be banging out medium rare patties all day. They should be embarrassed at how the burger was cooked and served to me. I wouldn't come back to this place if it were the last place in Lexington. They need to drop "wolf" from their name- just Bad Burgers coming out of that place. Avoid at all costs.

WOW‼ How far we've fallen. Bad Wolf has gone from a mediocre location to a real sh!t one (if you can find it, ...which you won't casually driving by) It's now a real dump (location). The food is just okay (12oz burger patty is now two crummy, dry-arsed 6oz patties) at obnoxious prices (blame Biden for that one, perhaps?). No more free refills for TEA, depressing location and interior. The little kids running the register were cute and competent, but if you MUST employ pre-teens to help run things, then you're about to go out of business. You'd be better off turning Bad Wolf into a food-truck. The restaurant smelled of death,.... The death of a business. Would be miraculous if they're still in business at that location by 2025. Once had great food, but lousy management/marketing has sent Bad Wild into a death-spiral.

the new dining room on N. Forbes does not have the same class as the previous location; more like eating in a basement. But! The food is still great and fast, friendly service.
Don't let the location fool you, still the same great food.
Quick and friendly, and the burger, absolutely perfect. Had the Black and Blue, medium, cooked to perfection. Walked away fat and happy! Can't beat this lil place!

A well regarded and frequently recommended place for burgers with unique combinations of flavors. Unfortunately, although the menu was very creative, for me (and my partner), the flavors of both the pineapple burger and bad wolf burger fell short. The cheap prices are very commendable and appreciated, but somehow all the fancy additions (homemade beer cheese, cajun seasoning!) are actually somehow muted and don't really show up while eating.This seems like a cool place, though, and I would still recommend others give it a try to see if it matches their tastes.
