It's difficult to decide if the burger menu or the beer menu is more extensive at Bad Apple, and it's certainly difficult to chose only one of each. The burger menu includes enough variety for everyone, be they a carnivore or vegetarian, with fine-tuned burger tastes (try the Frenchie with Brie and truffle), or simple ones (the Bad Apple Burger is as simple as they get). And the draft beers? Both local and faraway breweries are represented on a hefty menu that takes more than a few minutes to digest. The décor is clean and modern and there is adequate space for patrons to eat, drink, or do both.
