BDW’s bar and grill in Mendip

Lovely bloke hosting & awesome burgers. We had the lunchtime deal which was a burger, soft drink and fries for £11.50 (Mon - Fri, 12pm - 2pm). We upgraded the fries to be cheesey which were great but be warned... if you aren't a saucy kinda person, stick to plain!

The best burger I've had in ages. Recommend the JD burger. Reasonable prices too. Staff were friendly.

BDW offers some of the tasiest burgers around! Juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked, their burgers are a must-try. The loaded fries were just as amazing, packed with toppings and full of flavour. Great food and a welcoming atmosphere!

All brilliant. Really tasty. Chicken great. Book in advance. It is very popular.

I have to say this was the nicest resturant I have been too in a long time. The food was amazing desert was out of this world. (cheesecake) and it was reasonably priced. The service was exceptional, wish I could give a higher rating. If your in Wells please go and try this place, it's an independent locally run business and the story behind the name is touching. So please please please pop in and eat here you won't be disappointed

Just ordered a takeaway to be delivered, super fast delivery and absolutely delicious as always. Thanks Dill and Rich xx

Firstly and most importantly: the burgers were great, really tasty, and the dirty fries were again tasty and satisfactory portions. The service was poor in some ways though. I called in the afternoon to book a table for myself, my son and his girlfriend who is visiting from Australia. The girl I spoke to took my email address which was a bit weird. When I asked her why she needed it, she said "in case we need to get in touch with you", even though the reservation was for later that day (why not ask for a number instead?). When we arrived they had no knowledge of the reservation. It didn't matter practically as there was plenty of space, but no attempt to account for how that had happened nor apologise. Then when we had finished our food we were asked if we wanted anything more. We declined and chatted as a group for a little longer, whereupon one of the waitresses came over again and asked us again if we wanted anything else. It was incredibly pointedly to try and get us to leave and was extremely rude. The time was maybe 8.35pm and they were closing at 9pm. I then went up to pay and said "I'll pay then since you clearly want us to leave." Again no response nor apology for making the ending so unwelcoming. Embarrassing.

Decent bbq restaurant, they have offers during the week and kids specials. It's conveniently located on the market square, they do beef, chicken burgers, pulled pork, fries, usual bbq stuff. The bdw and big Richie burgers were excellent especially the burnt ends and pulled pork. Fries were really crispy and generous portion. The only disappointing dish was the chicken wings but everything else was very good. Recommended.

Let me say I wish I had a bigger appetite. The halloumi fries are to die for as of the wings. I have the tropical ones the burgers oh boy there were three of us and we each had a different one and they were all delicious my wife and I shared a portion of dirty fries With bird ends they were to die for and to be honest somebody with a smaller appetite that would make a meal the food was absolutely amazing. We were attempted to order some extras. I need the Mac and cheese because we’ve heard that that was good, however we’d also heard that the portions were large And we thought we could always order extra once we had got the food after seeing the food when it arrived there was no way we were going to eat more. My son-in-law birthday was is so jealous of Wells because we have really good Eateries I had the unfiltered local lager which was absolutely delicious. My son-in-law was on Coke as he had to drive back to Weston. My wife had gin and tonic. all I can say is my wife was disappointed that she was so full she couldn’t fit in a desert my son-in-law from Essex. Can’t wait to get down and try this if you’re in Wells book up because it gets busy and have yourself a good burger some good beer, you’re well looked after unlike the big cities there is no service and the staff can’t do enough for you

Stopped in here after a long travel day, as they were the only place later in the evening that was still serving food. So it wasn't our first choice, but I'm glad we had no other. The service was friendly and attentive, the menu was diverse, and the food was really delicious. We got the burnt ends fries, wings and a hot dog. Everything was fresh, flavorful and hot. Check check check. Thanks for a great meal :)

Amazing food!! I have been to many similar style restaurants and this is by far the best. The food is made with love and it really shows. The staff were lovely, the prices were acceptable, all round great experience. I recommend you book a table because rightly so this place is popular. If I'm visiting Wells in the future I will be eating here without a doubt.

Just had a hot dog, JD Burger and 2 cheese fries delivered. My gluten free burger and fries were the best I have had since I last ate there ! Fast delivery, food hot and all was delicious! Thankyou BDW Team

Always a friendly welcome. Food is consistently excellent. Great concept. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent burgers and service. Will certainly be going again.

Good food. Really good with allergies. Well done

Food looked good tasted better staff were polite and very helpful couldn't do enough for me

Fantastic burger restaurant!! The burger is beautifully put together and cooked very well ( juicy not over cooked ) the price point I'd good for the quality of food - service is good - attentive but not overly so, they are young but have obviously been trained well .. I don't often give 5* reviews but this little gem of a place deserves it !!

Good food, not a long wait. Although I almost didn't fit in the door, but otherwise TOP. The interior is nice and the staff perfect.

I ordered my food. Was about 25 minutes late which wasn’t too bad for a Friday night. It was possibly the greatest burger ever eaten, two patties, pulled pork and added bacon with cheese lettuce and tomatoes makes the best burger I’ve ever had. HOWEVER the fries were horrendous, “cheese dirty fries” there was no cheese (not even a small amount, literally none) and it was just a small amount of barbecue sauce dropped on fries. Nonetheless the burger was so incredible that I will definitely order from here agin.

Great little place, friendly staff that are attentive but not in your face.. the burger is amazing, juicy and full of flavour.

Amazing delivery, came on time. milkshakes and pulled pork fries are brilliant. Not so much the halloumi fries but absolutely brilliant

Excellent gluten free options, couldn't recommend more. Really nice atmosphere too.

I think this photo says it all.

My favourite place to go amazing food everytime, fantastic staff. I'd recommend the JD burger, the Big Richie or the dirty dill to be honest you won't be disappointed with anything off the menu

Highly recommend. Tasty burgers and friendly staff. You won’t be disappointed if you are looking for great food while dining in a lovely atmosphere. 5* from me. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing place . Popped in for lunch during Wells Christmas market , superb lunch , fantastic service. Definitely will be back . 10/10 Thank you very much Sam

Great menu with reasonable prices. Excellent service.

Absolutely amazing menu, full of flavour and Absolutely perfect. Incredibly friendly staff and very knowledgeable, even kitchen staff had a chat with us too about the menu and sources of their product, Faultless.

Small restaurant with wide range of burgers and flexible approach to ordering. Almost everything available Gluten-free if needed. Amazing ice-cream sundaes.

Excellent and kind service with great food. Got us out order really quickly when we needed to leave.

Nice Ambience, fast and very good service, wide selection of drinks and delicious food, even for vegetarians.

Great place to sit and relax, had the JD Burger best I've ever tasted, fries had herbs sprinkled over them which was excellent touch of class.

I liked the music and the service was great and the manners were great. And the food was amazing and the burgers were delicious it was great 👍 😁

Visited this establishment last night prior to visiting Cedar Hall (only a 10 min walk away). We had a great meal. The staff were attentive and the taste buds were certainly entertained. Thanks to all

Lovely burger place in, really good service and prices Definitely worth getting sharing starters as well, we had the Mac and cheese Would absolutely go in again

Yummy food, polite, friendly staff, but not overbearing. Delicious milkshakes.

The lively music and rustic aesthetic made for such a fun atmosphere. I had the 'Dirty Dill' burger, it was perfectly filling and really hit the spot, shout out to the chefs for their quality food. Service was brill too very welcoming and came to check everything was alrite. Defiantly coming back.

I recently visited this establishment, having heard positive things about their diverse menu options. As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was reassured by the staff's initial understanding and was keen to try what I believed would be a safe dining experience. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what I had expected. Despite my explicit request for a gluten-free meal and the staff's assurances, I was disheartened to find that my dish was contaminated with gluten. This not only displayed a lack of care and attention but also posed a serious risk to my health. Upon discovering the issue, I immediately alerted the staff and management, I am expecting a swift and appropriate response but nothing yet . Given the potential health implications of such oversights, I feel it is essential for future patrons, especially those with specific dietary requirements, to be aware of my experience. While I appreciate that mistakes can happen, it is the responsibility of any reputable dining establishment to uphold food safety standards and respond adequately to such incidents. Regrettably, this experience has left me sick and with a sense of disappointment and concern, and I urge the restaurant to review their practices to ensure the wellbeing of all customers. As it stands, I am hesitant to recommend this restaurant to others, particularly those with dietary restrictions or allergies, until significant improvements are made in their food handling and customer service

This is an awesome place to go for a perfect "Scooby Snack" burger. Really very very tasty and staff are really keen to ensure you have the best burger possible. Oh, and not pretentiously overpriced either. Thanks BDW. (Hint: eat burgers upside down so they don't fall apart.)

Great little burger place with gluten free options on almost everything.

Popped in for lunch, Great service , we had the chicken wings and burger set meal very nice.

Best meal i’ve had in a long time attention to detail on every level with food and service and atmosphere will definitely be back with my teenage sons for another visit.

Very friendly, very comfortable atmosphere, food awesome. I ate way too much

Service was great, the heat levels (spice) in the sauces was explained. The fact I wanted them on the side no issue. My chicken burger was the best I have tried. I will be returning. 👍👍👍👍

Nice burgers, lunchtime deal is good but the house fries have rosemary seasoning which is not good

The food here that we had, was amazing! Highly recommend visiting BDW if you want a meal full of flavour

Really good burgers and the house fries are to die for. Recomnended

Great food, well cooked and presented.

Oh, wow! Excellent food, friendly quick service, clean restaurant and really good prices. I paid £4 more for an identical burger in Bristol last week. Highly recommend going for the burnt ends with the hot dog. Rosemary seasoned fries are a delight. Just do it!

Fantastic burger place. Best burgers I’ve had in wells. American themed establishment with some good old American background music. Light atmosphere. Between us the burger, wings, loaded fried and Shakes were top tier.

My husband and I were so grateful that BDW was open and able to feed us at 4pm yesterday! . Dill was so friendly and welcoming. Food came very quickly and it was absolutely delicious. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a very very long time. Thank you. Wish we lived closer because I would happily come back. Recommended you to lots of locals last night. Good luck. You deserve huge success.

Not bad at all! Too much of the herbs on fries ... but burger (veggie with bacon)was delicious. Dessert - ice cream with mint Aero - was yummy! Will definitely return...35 pounds a head Inc a couple of beers, service and a rum shot 👌 😁

Great burgers, service and atmosphere. A bettrr selection of beer?!

4th time here today and always very impressed. Excellent friendly service with incredible food. Will come back time and time again. Highly recommend

Great place, good food and good service. Well done!

Very friendly and accommodating especially with two prams. Good quality food

Dirty food, good music, attentive service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Been here several times, the food is consistently awesome, tasty stuff and genuinely a great place to have all those messy foods which taste the best

Fantastic food and very quick service, very friendly staff and awesome atmosphere whilst there. Highly recommended!

First visit here but definitely going to be on our future 'places to eat' list. Not a fan of overly busy, crowded bar's so this place was an ideal find for us. Best Burger I've eaten. 👌

Absolutely amazing food, cooked to perfection. Clean. Friendly staff.

A hell of a taste experience every time, Wells desperately needed a place like BDW’s and it literally never disappoints, the Dirty Dill burger is a god damn blessing! That cheese sauce? Next level! And the BBQ burnt ends dirty fries, chefs kiss! Do yourself a favour and book a table

Great value, tasty burgers and fries

Amazing food, very friendly. Demolished the clucked up!

Food is awesome and the staff are very welcoming. I recommended this place to lots of family and friends and all have agreed it's a great place that they will return to. 👍 for the excellent rosemary salt fries and chicken burger!

Great burgers and friendly service.

definitely coming again! Food taste amazing great service, very friendly ☺️ love the vibe💓 pregnancy cravings…satisfied😋

Nice little place. Very friendly staff and the food is to die for. Highly recommend.

A must visit! Great place, extremely clean and child friendly! Make sure you work up an appetite as the food is incredible! My only complaint is I didn't have enough room for dessert... definitely next time. Highly recommend this little gem.

Excellent venue. Food and service were very good. Gluten Free and low/no alcohol catered for brilliantly but no craft ale only lager and cider!

Fantastic! Really good food and amazing atmosphere

Great new find in Sadlers Street, Wells. Popped in for a lunch time burger and had a great meal. Several sizeable meaty burgers to choose from, 1 chicken and a couple of veggie options. We had the fries and coleslaw as sides and they were delicious! A nice 'bistro' style atmosphere (they serve a selection of beer, cider & wine) and great service. Our food was ready fairly quickly and was piping hot. If you love a real burger with an assortment of toppings and sauces, this is the place for you!

In Wells for the first time today. Called into BDW's and had a warm welcome. Place was spotless and really nicely designed. We aren't burger people but ordered the standard and my wife the vegetarian. Really, top quality , no dripping fat, just 100% beef. The French fries were spot in with a rosemary dusting. Spoke to owner Richard, who should be rightly proud of what he has achieved. If you haven't been, the best advice is to pop in and enjoy!

I really wanted to like this place. The owner was really friendly and went to a lot of effort to give us a good table. The decor makes you feel like you're in a proper American burger joint (having lived in the States I'm very familiar with the concept!) but unfortunately that's where the similarities end. The food just doesn't have any flavour. The mac n cheese was more like soup and wasn't any better than what you'd get from a can. The chicken wings were tough and didn't taste of anything. The "burnt ends" on the dirty fries didn't have any smoky flavour or any real seasoning, they were just dry lumps of beef. The burger itself was OK but the pickles were the only thing that gave it any flavour at all. As is so often the case in the UK, the menu lists the things you'd expect to see in this type of restaurant, but the ingredients and cooking techniques are a world away from authentic bbq. If you've never had the real version I guess you'd probably think it's fine

Fantastic food and lovely people

Very clean and cozy looking bar and grill restaurant. The gentleman who served me was excellent and helped me in every way so service was five star. Food was good also and the sauce on the chicken wings was delicious. I would recommend eating here and would visit again if I was in the area.

Visited with friends earlier in the week. Food was delicious and fast at arriving. The staff were extremely and we even got a hello from the chef. Definitely be returning! -paige and jay

Fantastic food, and impeccable service. You do have to check these guys out, especially because the sausages are custom made by a local butcher and all the smoked meat is done on the premises! Fantastic tasty work. (the only reason for a 4 star on the atmosphere was because the place is very well lit and I prefer a dimmer atmosphere.. yes thats really a barrel scrape of a reason).

Damn good food! Highly recommend. Fast service, friendly, attentive.

Will never order from here again. Got food poisoning from this place and now I don’t trust them. -molly

Stopped by for a family meal. The service was really good, and the food was tasty for everyone.

Great place for lunch. The chicken burger is the best!!

A wonderful independent business, delivering delicious burgers 🍔 and more! Great value for money and wonderful staff! Special mention to Dill for the service tonight!

What a great place! Lovely warm atmosphere, really friendly and helpful staff, great value and AMAZING burgers and dirty fries. Possibly the very best burger I've ever had, not to mention the gorgeous BBQ burnt ends dirty fries!! Yum. Highly recommended!

Why have I not found this place before I really should pay more attention 😕. Fabulous find on Wells main high street, a welcoming well decorated environment and speedy service. Great tasting chicken and fantastic beef, well worth spoiling yourself and forgetting any diet plans treat yourself. I'm not disappointed I'd suggest more of an adult environment and not a cheap stop for kids. I'll be going back to try the chicken wings and drinks a great change to the normal lunch x

Been twice and had a great time on both occasions Great great food and a lovely atmosphere Friendly service good value for money Can 100% recommend and I will be going again for sure

Everything we ate was delicious and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend the burger with pulled pork, the loaded fries and the Caribbean chicken wings. Just a shame we didn't have room for dessert. Thanks very much for a fantastic meal.

Very tasty food and service was excellent. Would definitely return

We had our work Xmas party here, fantastic food, brilliant service. We were really well looked after, excellent value for money, would definitely recommend.

Can’t recommend enough. Food was delicious, pricing was spot on. Will definitely be going back.

Food was amazing . Clean throughout and great service

Amazing food good staff great atmosphere

Amazing food, possibly the best burgers in Wells atm. Lovely staff. Diner theme could be expanded on to give the restaurant more of a full identity. Some diner style drinks would be cool, coke floats, milkshakes, alcoholic versions?

Recently had a birthday meal at this joint, safe to say everyone enjoyed there meal, super tasty food, attentive staff, I’m sure will visit again in the not to distant future.

These guys are on it, attentive service from the moment we arrived, until we left. Fourteen of us had a brilliant night out, if only other establishments could learn from here. The food was plentiful, tasty, and well presented. Fair choice of drinks, and the best cheesecake I've had for years. Have just booked to go back again this weekend and try something else from the menu.

Great, great food - just what a burger SHOULD be. Thank you BDW 😊

The best burger 🍔 restaurant in a 30 mile radius quick clean dog friendly beautiful tastes and and a smart little restaurant definitely go back but bringing family make sure u book 🙏🏻👅

Wild Beer menu and the most amazing food 😋 You have to try the burnt ends dirty fries and Jamaican hot wings!! Good value, good portions and great atmosphere. Great service just to top off the perfect birthday lunch.

Definitely recommend this place, I booked a large party booking for 20 people, great service, great food and the staff were more than accommodating. We are lucky to have you in Wells.

It was my birthday and this was a treat from my wife, I had heard about BDW and having been to a huge array of burger grills I needed to find out myself. I am so pleased I did, snug little setting for a perfect lunch, the patty’s are cooked through to perfection with distinctive flavour and amazing quality beef! The bbq sauce is divine and tangy, so perfect and complimented the pulled pork brilliantly. Fresh bun that held itself to the very end with no sogginess! Truly mastered by the staff in the kitchen. The pulled pork dirty fries were immense! The fresh herbs and gooey melted cheese just topped these gems to the very end. If you like good quality, wholesome, tasty filling food! Get booking! The prices are outstanding value! Good luck to the future guys. You are winning 🥇 Seemed fitting to show out empty plates 🤣
