A New Smash Burger Spot Has Landed in Downtown Fayetteville
Downtown Fayetteville has a new address worth knowing, and you’ll want to show up hungry. Big Daddy’s Burgers & Ice Cream opens its doors on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 388 Nelson Hackett, and the community has been waiting for this one.
Bun Intended: A Look at the Burger Menu
Every burger here is a double-stacked flattop smash. You can swap to a gluten-free bun for $1.50 or go with grilled chicken with house seasoning if that’s more your speed.
Here’s what you’re choosing from:
- Big Daddy’s Burger ($11.50) — American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, red pepper mayo
- The B.A.P. (Barnett’s Auto Parts) ($13.50) — Barnett’s BBQ sauce, pepperjack, crispy onions, mustard vinaigrette slaw
- El Camino ($13.50) — Guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, pepperjack, cilantro aioli, tortilla strips
- Apt. 2B ($13.50) — Pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes
- The Cosmic ($13.50) — Mushrooms, Swiss, garlic cream cheese
The names alone tell you this place has some personality.
Make It a Full Situation
You can turn any burger into a combo with four options:
- Fuel Up (+$4.45) — Fries & drink
- Launch It (+$7.00) — Fries & ice cream float
- Double Feature (+$7.50) — Fries & 2-scoop shake
- Drive-In (+$9.00) — Fries & 3-scoop shake
The Drive-In is clearly the move if you’re going all in.
Scoops, Shakes, and After-Hours Wings
Big Daddy’s is partnering with Hugs Ice Cream for dessert — single scoops start at $4.25, pints go for $10, and shakes range from $6 to $8. Waffle cones and floats are on the list too.
After 7 PM, the kitchen fires up Space Race Buffalo Wings ($13.95), served with bleu cheese and ranch — a solid reason to stick around or come back later in the evening.
On the sides, you’ve got Fries ($3.95) and a Crispy Onion Loaf ($8.75) served with RPM sauce.
