I moved out of state and the whole world seemed to have changed! I love the new space of what used to be cultivate. This place is still just as good if not better. They have better parking at the post office next door. We were seated rather quickly for Saturday brunch which was surprising! Our server did a great job recommending several items. I ultimately went with the chicken and waffles and grits on the side. It was so much food that I only ate half the waffle and one chicken tender. The syrup was really good, so I got some to go. My friend got a veggie omelet which looked great. Wow time flies! Love the new place! read more

An ok place that I'm not sure I'd return to. They do have a large menu with lots of options so it definitely looked promising. The place didn't look very clean when we came in and there was stuff all over the floor and old napkins that had been trampled all over right in front of the host stand. The workers just walked right by them not even bothering to pick it up. It's not the best way to greet new customers. The entire floor looks like it could use a good deep clean. We got here at like 1:15 and those close at 2:30. You would think we got here at 2:20 the way our waiter was rushing us. It was super annoying but I guess it's fine. They were clearly in a hurry to start their closing process. I ordered pancakes and bacon and the syrup tasted really odd. I asked the waiter about it and he said they mix Log Cabin syrup with molasses. He then asked me if I wanted some regular syrup, I said yes please. To which he replied "well that is our regular syrup." So what was the point of asking me the question then? That didn't make sense at all to me. Nothing was bad, but place just seemed kind of "meh" to me. read more

I was excited about this place for breakfast mainly just on the name. Off we go and we arrive and had a 10 minute wait. Place was busy at 11:30. We are seated and waited on immediately. Our waitress was solid. My daughter ordered the breakfast plate and I ordered what they claimed was their signature dish: biscuits and sausage gravy! I also ordered two eggs over easy on top of the b/g. Ok so the food comes and I'm like wait where's the food?! My daughter didn't care for the sausage or biscuit. I had what seemed like a child's plate with one biscuit and just enough sausage gravy. Come on pour that gravy onto to the lone biscuit! lol. My eggs were not what I ordered and were medium without a yolk! The food was tasty and all, but the portions were incredibly small. It's not a big bad breakfast? read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Buckhead - Child's plate containing a lone biscuit and just enough sausage gravy to cover. Medium cooked eggs! (Not what I ordered) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This little gem actually not on my list, but maybe it was kismet. No matter as I was so happy to find a cozy place to have a quiet breakfast. Every item I ordered most freshly prepared and really good! The skillet had nice chunks of everything, a definite winner. The peach-blueberry crumb was perfectly sweet and easily stands along without the glaze :) I also ordered the hash cake to-go later finding out it was a bit saltier for my taste - then again I monitor my intake. This is strictly a personal opinion and in NO way reflects of the quality. Taking the latter half to go, I adored the fact that they used ecoconscious containers. BON APPÉTIT read more

Today I met a friend for brunch. We decided to try something new! FYI This place only has valet parking. The dining room is large bright and cheerful. Not too crowded not too loud. Our waitress was lovely, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was the weak point. Neither my friend nor I were able to finish our breakfasts but we both enjoyed the coffee very much. She had the lean plate but found her eggs very unappetizing. I had the biscuit scramble. The idea was good but it was very salty. It was a little spicy and I love grits and tomatoes so I was excited to try it but I was so disappointed. I think maybe the gravy was very over salted? The biscuit pieces were fine as were the grits but the middle part (gravy bacon and tomatoes) was inedible. read more

This place just opened. It is a nice sized diner with plenty of seating. Parking may be tight. Service was friendly but a little slow. I ordered the Westside Blueberry/Peach coffee cake and one of the skillet meals. The coffee cake tasted good but I wish they had warmed it up some. It seems like they just took it out the fridge and it had not gotten to room temperature yet. The skillet came with potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, and ham. It was heavy on the potatoes but tasted great. read more

This is the first location in Georgia and I'm excited to see more pop up around. This place is PHENOMENAL. I've tried a number of dishes and there is nothing I've tasted that was short of amazing! The omelet had mayo, y'all! No cheese and it was the best thing I've ever tried in my life!!! Try the BLT omelet. The chicken sandwich, The mother of all biscuits, but make it the DIRTY BIRD. You will not be disappointed!! Try everything and tell them I sent you. I promise you won't be disappointed. You can also park at the post office and walk around as the lot is small and there's a lot of construction going on due to a fire. read more

As a west midtown resident I was so sad to see Cultivate close its doors. However, this new breakfast gem is definitely a keeper! This place just opened on 11/4/25 and we were so excited to try it! Big breakfast food lovers here. All the staff was so pleasant especially our waitress Chloe! The decor is so fun and bright. They made really great use of the space. The Vietnamese coffee is delicious and doesn't require any flavored syrups because it's plenty sweet already. The chicken biscuit was very big and very messy, but overall had amazing flavor! The skillet was top tier! I had a biscuit with the peach jelly that was so hard to stop eating. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to go back! read more

Invited for breakfast and arrived at 1030a. We were seated promptly and our server greeted us shortly afterwards. Our server was patient and answered several questions asked by my dining partner. Neither of us had been there before. I had the Big Bad Skillet and the Breakfast Margarita. The margarita was not bad and there are other 10$ breakfast drinks along with fresh squeezed OJ and coffee. The skillet was just ok. There was plenty of meat. My biggest complaint was the potatoes. They were not cut or cooked consistently. I had two whole halves of a (red?) potato several much smaller and medium sized. Some were crunchy some were cooked fine some were quite hard. And my shredded cheese wasn't melted (small observation). It came with a biscuit and it was good. They make biscuits every 20 minutes. My dining partner had the Low Country Skillet. It looked good. They also had a piece of sausage and a bowl of fruit. Food didn't take long to reach us or other tables within view. Service was great. We were greeted by several staff as we entered and departed. Valet parking is complimentary but by the time you walk to the tent to hand over the ticket you can just walk to your car. It does beat street parking though! I'd go back but I would try the pancakes or burger. 3.5 stars read more

Came here for breakfast on Sunday morning. We easily got a table when we came in around 8:30. The service was quick. We split the pancakes - it was a huge serving! We also got a side of sausage patties and hash cake. Both were yummy. This place has something for everyone. Would recommend read more

Today was my first time trying and I'm so glad I came. As a breakfast food, brunch lover, I'm so glad to have this in the neighborhood and will be frequenting. First, the service from everyone, the host, manager and Jana behind the bar was so refreshing. They thoroughly explained the menu, discussed options and gave recommendations. They have many flavorful, chef made options and even clean ones if you need to grab something on the go pre or post workout. I tried the biscuit crumble with chicken sausage. It came out super hot, fresh, large portion and every bite exploded with flavor. I could tell everything was house made. The price point was the icing on the cake. The atmosphere was very clean, spacious with plenty of seating, aesthetically pleasing and perfect for a breakfast/brunch vibe. I will for sure be back! read more

Food was delicious. I ate at the bar and the waiter was on top of everything! The parking was a little weird and spooky and i didn't want to valet, but I found out that you can park in the post office next-door, which has ample space and is free. Will definitely be back soon.!! read more

I've had chicken and waffles many places around the country. This was incredible. The juicy breast (3) with an awesome full flavored crust will not disappoint as it lays across a waffle that has a flavor all its own and accents the chicken yet holds it own along with the drizzled honey and side butter. The people who recommend this restaurant have eaten there several times and every thing they tried has been great. Only negative is I was visiting and a bit disappointed we don't have a BBB in Denver (yet). read more

One word- Incredible. I'm someone who eats a lot of egg and cheese sandwiches, but their egg and cheese on a biscuit takes the cake. The proportions were perfect, and the serving portion was huge. I also got the iced coffee which I would recommend as well. Service was quick and our water glasses were never empty. It's a larger space than what it appears from the outside, having a mix of booths, tables, and high tops. I've been twice now, both around 11am, and neither time has it been too crowded. At the end of the meal they give you a souvenir postcard which is a fun touch. There are a few parking spots right when you pull in, and I've parked there both times. If you're in the area or visiting, this is a great choice. read more

The first thing that jumped out was they had free valet parking. Two younger gentlemen greeted us opened our doors and took the keys as they oarked the car. We were seated pretty quickly. I ordered Low Country Skillet with a side of toast and their homemade strawberry jelly. The server was nice. Our food came out in a timely fashion. My food was good and hot. The jelly stole the show. The server did have to ask us what we had ordered and forgot our straws. I had to wave to get his attention. The friends and me shared some of our food. So I was able to try the French toast which was average and maybe a tad under cooked. The waffles are very average but the chicken was very good. Overall we had a good experience. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. I would give them a second chance to wow me. read more

Great Breakfast, Great People I stopped by Big Bad Breakfast and was honestly impressed from the moment I walked in. The place was extremely clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. You can tell the chefs are the real deal--everything coming out of that kitchen looked and tasted fresh. I tried both the andouille sausage and smoked sausage, and they were excellent. The French toast was another standout--perfectly cooked with great flavor. The only thing I'd personally pass on next time is the red eye gravy; it just wasn't my cup of tea, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, this is a solid breakfast spot with great food and even better service. I'll definitely be back! read more

Service was super speedy, food hit the spot, and the music was a throwback for anyone! Our servers energy was through the roof. Heads up, parking is valet only right now, free, but still someone else is parking your car. read more

Went at non peak time. Wanted to love this place saw on TikTok and it was NOT lovely. It was a waste of money. It lived up to the name it was a bad breakfast...terrible! The omelette was undercooked (runny, and cold). Veggie omelette is not hard to screw up but somehow the veggies were tasteless no seasoning, goat cheese was non existent. Veggies watery and bacon was sub par. The service was poor. Strange interaction with young lady who may be new to serving. Never called ma'am so much in my life and slightly offended since same age as the waitress. The restaurant was filthy and to be fair employees standing around maybe should be cleaning floors, carpets and bathrooms. Could not wait to leave! 1 out of 10! read more

They left part of my order off on Mother's Day for pickup. The food is standard brunch food.

When you walk in, you're warmly greeted by the host and seated almost immediately. It's a fun vibe. The food is absolutely amazing. I had the French toast and the biscuit with the chicken that was fried and pickle juice and was slap your mama good. Hailey our server was fantastic. Definitely will stop here again. read more

Good first time experience! Prices are good so you can try a lot off the menu. Skillet was just ok, lacked a little flavor in my opinion. Service was good so will definitely give it another shot. read more

Oh wow pleasantly surprising newer restaurant. Really enjoyed the service and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant space. Well lit and clean, we sat at the side by the restaurant bar. Our server was super informed on the restaurant history and menu. We ordered some great items off the menu. Starting with the coffee and coffee cake which was dense but good. Probably lots of butter and sugar but worth the cheat day. I also had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Recommend their hot sauce should've purchased some for home. read more

This has become my go to breakfast restaurant in Atlanta. The real question is how can you differentiate traditional breakfast. They figured it out.

The food is special. Portions were ample. Nice Deep South tang. Service was excellent and all other employees seemed to be happy.

Food was awful. Cold, watery and just not good. Took well over 1 hour to even get it.

Great vibes, food and coffee. The food tasted homemade and just like grandma used to make. Glad to have another neighborhood spot!

First impression-everyone working here is very friendly and seem excited to be working together! Upbeat and friendly. The atmosphere is bright, very clean and very comfortable. The menu presents very well with creative offers-everything home made and no microwaves in use, just wonderful eats. Try the Soul on a Roll if you like to kick it up with a spicy egg & bacon sandwich w/pickled jalapeños! I'll be back, for sure! read more

Food was tasty and came out pretty quickly. The interior clean and well maintained. The best part was our server Skylar she was great!

Skyler was amazing. She greeted us with a beautiful smile and great personality. As per usual our food was amazing!!!! We will be back!!!

Amazing service, vibe, food. Top notch. Would love to come back. Skillet was 10/10. Pancakes too. Great coffee. Parking can be tricky.

I would recommend this restaurant. The food was good, service was excellent and it appeared to be clean with substantial workers.

Great food & service. We tried the biscuits & avocado toast. They had valet parking which was convenient.
