Great place for a brunch! Food was delicious and fresh. Portions are good sizes and the prices are fair. I will definitely be going back!

We ate here while in town for pilgrimage festival--breakfast. French toast, pancakes and the chicken biscuit were amazing. It was busy but the online waitlist was straightforward and efficient. Jeremiah was a wonderful server! Would definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

Yum! Loved the Redneck Bennie. Biscuits were great with the right amount of crunch to cakieness for my taste. Everyone has their preferences of course so YMMV but you won't be disappointed! Tried some else's bacon (while they weren't looking) and it was very good. Coffee was properly strong without being burnt. Our sever, Marsha (spelled the "wrong" way lol!) was full of sass and humor and made our patio breakfast experience more enjoyable. I'd definitely be back if I were a local. read more

Went back to give them another try. This will be our last time. The service was beyond terrible. The Yelp check in does not work. It actually does not save time as the clock starts when you check in with the hostess. We had a 15 minute wait, checked in and it was an hour. The food took a while to get. Some of the food was cold. The skillet had hard cheese and was watery. The biscuit looked good just I saw how pink it was is the middle. The girl that brought our food asked if there was anything else we needed and we asked for condiments and stuff we ordered but didn't get and was told "you'll have to ask your server for that". Needless to say we didn't get it. read more

Hands down, THE.BEST. cinnamon roll I have ever had. It wasnt on the menu, so make sure you ask your server! I cant even explain, it was the perfect combo of sweet and savory. There isnt a ton of seating, so you'll probably have a small wait on the weekends, but it goes by quickly! read more

Worked with our 12 top and got us seated fairly quickly. Even on a holiday. The yard work skillet was delicious.

Excellent selection, service was exceptional and prices were fair. No wait and clean.

Excellent food and service! The biscuits were awesome! Tomato gravy was so good. Cinnamon rolls were delicious and big read more

Have you ever built something up in your head, only to be let down when you actually encountered/achieved it? Decades ago, I built up the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disney World in Orlando. Turns out, you don't actually go underwater on the sub. You just sat at a window that was underwater. Meh I still remember the sting of that let down. BBB was a little of the same disappointment, minus 20,000 leagues. I was scanning Reddit and someone else asked for great breakfast places. BBB and a few others were mentioned, including Monel's (which I agree with). I hadn't heard of BBB, so I went to the website and looked over the entire menu. There's plenty of things to select, even shrimp and grits. I'm a fan of shrimp and grits, but my standards are high - see SNOBs review. The red-eye gravy made me think, nope. On the menu alone, I decided to give BBB a shot. It's nearby and their menu descriptions are written in a way to...well, make you think you're going to go underwater on a sub. On marketing, BBB gets a solid 4 stars. I opted for a Mother of All Biscuits. The menu touts it as, "Crispy-fried dill chicken breast and cheddar cheese on a buttermilk biscuit." First, the good. The biscuit and piece of chicken are large. Not "OMG" large, but large enough to make you think, "okay...$9, I'm not being taken advantage of and I didn't have to sit in a Chick-fil-a (CFA) line - this is fine". The greeting staff and wait staff are friendly. The place isn't huge, but there's outside seating. It's clean and moderately decorated. The hours are breakfast and lunch only. Now, the less than good. Maybe I'm used to a CFA, but I got almost no dill brine in the chicken. No, in fact, I got none. The chicken is not some CFA breaded piece of chicken, where you can ask for no pickles and still taste pickle. Despite the menu's promise, I was unimpressed. It didn't seem to even be the evil stepmother of all biscuits. It was moist in the middle, less so on the edges. It seemed to have been freshly fried. The biscuit was portioned to the chicken, but it was so-so at best. About 1/2-way through it broke apart and it was eat what you pick up and stays together from that point forward. If you're expecting Hardee's, slathered in butter, and then slathered in more butter, this is not that biscuit. It was fine, but a bit crunchy on the bottom - which may have led to the break apart mid-munch. If you ask me to eat a chicken biscuit with a knife and fork well, you don't deserve the South I grew up in. For me, BBB was 2.5-3 stars. I've had better breakfasts (Monel's) I've had worse. It's unlikely you're life will be changed, but there are plenty of other items on the menu, so your mileage may vary with what you pick. read more

The breakfast was very good and the service was fantastic.shout out to Jessica our waitress!

Great food! Excellent and courteous service. Convenient location . Would highly recommend for breakfast!

First time visiting BBB and service and food were great! Our server Seth took excellent care of us and had a great attitude. Thanks for a great breakfast experience! read more

After our first time dining here, I probably would have only given 3 or 4 stars, the food was eh. They have a gravy they call tomato gravy, that is not really what your grandma makes. HOWEVER, we have been there several times since and have had multiple delicious dishes! I love all of their scrambler bowls, their take on eggs Benedict, and the classic sausage gravy is delicious. The thing that made me post my review was our server from our most recent visit- I sadly couldn't remember her name as it's been a couple weeks, but that was the best service I've had in over a year!! So so pleasant, knowledgeable, and had the happiest smile and attitude! read more

Just okay in my opinion. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles; however, the chicken had some bad spots and the waffle was a little small. It did come with plenty of chicken and it was certainly very filling. We were quickly seated and our waiter was very nice. Our food came quickly, but it took a while to get the check. The bacon was alright. Overall, it was good but not great. Glad I tried it, but I don't feel I like I need to come back. read more

Hits-the-spot kind of breakfast! Fab 'Breakfast Dude' coffee drink, too! I recommend!

Another yelp selection for our weekend in Franklin. So very happy we chose this restaurant. Ample parking, patio or indoor seating available. We were able to make a reservation using the yelp app. This was crucial as we had a party of 10. We were quickly seated upon arrival. I couldn't decide on a meal as everything looked delicious. I chose the LOW COUNTRY skillet: Two eggs scrambled, shrimp, andouille, cheddar cheese, onions, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes. Absolutely delicious. So much flavor on this skillet. Looks small but once you dig in you notice it's a fairly deep dish. The girls were yummy. The blackberry spread was a favorite. Prices were reasonable for each item. The bathroom was very clean. Overall, I give it a 5/5. read more

The real deal. This place is huge inside and they can handle a good size crowd. The servings are very large and done well. I'll be back.

Great food, Great Service! Bre is the best!! We are never disappointed, even when they are super busy, they treat every guest like family!

I am a big breakfast guy, but we were certainly unimpressed with this experience. Food was so-so to say the least & small portions for the price tags. Also, overly long wait for food with a restaurant that was near empty at the time. I cant really justify ourselves coming back here. read more

A few suggestions for management to improve: 1. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant about 7:50 on a Saturday and your hostesses asked us to wait "while we clean off a table". This was clearly not true, as we were sat at a table that was empty and clean the whole ten minutes we waited. Other customers were also parked on benches and asked to wait. We finally figured out it was because they were waiting on more staff to arrive. Just be up front and tell us that. Don't lie. Geez. 2. The latte I ordered was pretty good, but it was served in a regular coffee cup. For $4 (a typical latte price), I'd expect a larger cup. 3. Your staff should automatically bring sweetener with the coffee. We shouldn't have to get up and go hunt for it. 4. The eggs and hash browns were great. Not crazy about the bacon & the biscuits seemed oddly too salty. Also perhaps bring out jam with the biscuit to save tables from having to ask. I get that it's Covid times and you can't leave it on the table - but we spent a lot of time trying to hunt down things that typically just go with breakfast. Like jam. And Splenda. And salt. 5. Our server did a good job and this really isn't a complaint on her - I just think management needs to intervene and tweak how things are done so things move a bit smoother here. And don't let your hostesses lie to your customers. :) read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Franklin - My latte - love this style of mug, but wish the latte had been in a larger cup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Had a great breakfast here on a Monday when it wasn't too busy. Our server was so great - LaShanta was ON IT! Friendly, fast and brought us our condiments after we ordered which is so smart so it's right there when food comes. I really enjoyed my breakfast plate, the chicken sausage was yummy. My husband loved the cathead biscuits, cheesy, smothered in a delicious gravy. I do wish there were more hot tea options but other than that, love the menu. We have tried to come before but the wait was insane. Looking forward to visiting again! read more

My family and I came to BBB restaurant at 11:30 today after church and asked for a booth because my 9 year old has an issue sitting in a chair. There were 3 booths wide open in the back room yet we were sat at a table. My wife asked the hostess Nicki? who also presented herself as the manager, if we could instead sit in a booth. She was told simply 'oh...no...sorry'. I then approached Nicki to ask if it were possible if we could sit in a booth. She said it wasn't fair to the servers because of a rotation. I asked if we could just sit out, give someone else our table, and then sit in a booth (again because of my child). She then said that would not be fair to the other customers. I was puzzled because it would actually allow other waiting patrons to be sat earlier and everyone would be happy. She then said 'well this is just our policy'. I asked who the manager was - she stated firmly 'I am'. And went about her business. So here I sit at a table in the back room writing this note on a beautiful Sunday after church. Sad and unfortunate. read more

Bacon soggy. Pancakes dense, heavy. Very disappointed in a favorite breakfast spot. The replacement bacon was slightly burnt, and came with "our bacon is served that way unless you ask for it crispy. So, blame the customer. Never had a problem before. I ate almost none and no questions from the staff when saw it untouched. They were concerned with quantity over quality this morning. Oh well... coffee was good. Not worth the wait. At all. My breakfast was, indeed both big and extremely bad. read more

The food is excellent. The prices are great. The ambience is amazing. The service is unbelievable. No skipping on food. It's a little hard to find in Franklin. If you go for your first time, follow those directions and you're going to turn into what looks like office buildings and think you're in the wrong place don't turn around go into where the office buildings are on the right, keep going around the office building and it's at the very end of the other side of the complex. It's so worth it when I go back to live I will be there as much as possible. Our server was amazing. I forgot his name but he's very happy and he's very attentive. If you get him and you'll know when you get him you'll be glad you got him. He's just a pleasure all the way around for this restaurant in Franklin. read more

$6 for kids orange Juice. Orange juice is terrible. Prices don't match the quality of the food. Kids pancakes don't even come with eggs. $40 for adult and one kid to eat breakfast is crazy. TOURIST TRAP. Don't recommend. Maple Street has alot better food and orange juice I should have went there but my daughter wanted pancakes. read more

Love this place for breakfast, creative dishes and the service is always good! The food is always great and prepared as asked.

I'm on the fence with this one. On one hand, I tasted amazing pancakes. On the other hand, I had the worlds worst Bloody Mary. Drinking the chunks of garlic made it taste like a Chicago dog. And not in a good way. The homemade hot sauce is some of the best I've ever had. In fact, it was so good that I bought 2 bottles to take home. Then there was the bacon. It was like burned wood from a fire pit. I had the mother of all biscuits. There was a giant piece of spicy, fried chicken on a dill biscuit that was spectacular! I can't decide if will go back. read more

Great menu and good food, ambiance was great fun brunch environment, service was slow (not our server himself but the kitchen and bar). Only got one drink because it took so long to get that one didn't want to wait for a second. Wait was about 30 min on a Sunday morning for a tables. Pancakes were not the attraction that they claim to be on the menu. Overall average, worth going to once but maybe not twice. read more

Had a great breakfast with a buddy this morning at Bug Bad Breakfast In Franklin, TN. Two eggs over easy with 3 pieces of thick sliced bacon, grits, and toast with strawberry jam. All were superb! My buddy got flapjacks, biscuits and gravy along with sausage. Great food, fast service, and the outdoor seating was fabulous. Neisha was the best! She walked us through the menu and all of the house specialties. I'll have to come back and try the spicy bacon and Belgian waffles! read more
