- Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern, Inc. (BDVB) owns and operates a small chain of casual dining restaurants specializing in made-to-order burgers; all-natural lean turkey burgers; hand-cut fries and sweet potato chips; fresh salads; black bean turkey chili; sandwiches; starters; hand-dipped milkshakes and ice cream with mix-ins; macaroni and cheese; craft beers on draft; wines; specialty cocktails; and soda, with additional retail sales of bottled craft sodas, proprietary sauces, and gift cards. The company serves families and casual diners in a warm atmosphere featuring local historical photos and electric trains, emphasizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients without walk-in freezers or microwaves; it operates five locations across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, the company was spun off from Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. in December 2016 and trades on the OTC market under the ticker BDVB. In recent years, BT Brands, Inc. acquired a 41.4% stake in 2022, which it has written down to zero by late 2025 amid a strategic review; the chain closed its Chesterfield, Michigan location in February 2025, reducing operations to five units; and in January 2024 announced plans to rebrand its then-six remaining restaurants.
