Creative burger bar with standout fries, poutine, and big beer list; most diners love it, but service inconsistency and surcharge complaints mean expectations should be set.
The Bad Apple delivers solid neighborhood burger dining with strong food quality anchored by creative builds and house-made sauces that earn consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution across visits—temperature and seasoning variations—prevents a higher grade, and isolated food safety reports add caution despite no systemic pattern. Service swings between friendly and quick to occasional lapses, particularly during large group seating, making the experience less reliable than grade A standards demand.
One caveat: Service can be uneven, with reports of slow bar attention and poor handling of large parties
