Loved their burgers and the pudding of the month. This time, it was pumpkin spice. Very creamy and not too sweet. The place itself is nice too.

10 out of literal 10 It preserves the baddies brand and flavor we’ve come to love, while adding a new and fresh vibe. 1950’s diner meets 2025 Normaltown in this perfect spot off Prince. The food is unrivaled, service is superb… and prices… wow! Where else can you get a double cheeseburger, fries, and bottomless drink for $11? Run… don’t walk to baddies burger house in normaltown.

This former gas station turned restaurant serves up one of the best smash burgers around. I ordered the Single “all the way” with Cajun fries, and for just over $10 as a combo, it was a great deal. The Single is on the smaller side, so I’ll definitely go for the Double next time. There’s plenty of indoor seating and even some outdoor tables. Parking can be a bit tight, but it’s free. If you’re a burger fan, check out Baddies for yourself!

Absolutely delicious It is THE In-N-Out of Athens (as someone from Cali). It’s a small vintage burger place with a retro diner feel and incredible customer service. We had their burgers (I believe I got mine with a gluten free bun) and their Banana Pudding and Cajun Fries. I’m picky about banana pudding-but I really really enjoyed it. Baddie’s is a new favorite!!

Quality burger at a decent price. My fries were almost perfect. Love the whole vibe of the place. Great use of the old Ike and Jane building. Love to see local places thriving. Highly recommend Baddies on Prince.

Ate there yesterday, and it was our first time in. The manager was really friendly and helpful. I’m gluten free, and most GF buns aren’t worth it, but I’m glad I took the manager’s recommendation to get the GF bun. What a great burger! They fry the fries in tallow, so no need to feel bad eating them. The fries were crispy, golden brown, and really, really good. Can’t wait to go back.
