Me and a couple friends visited TN a bit ago, and we decided to stop by. Next time we visit we'll definitely come by again!! The atmosphere was super friendly, the food was amazing, and our waiter Tyler was the best! Super attentive, funny, made us feel right at home. We made sure to give him a big tip. I hope we get him again next time!! read more

Breakfast was by far the worst I've ever had , service was bad and the food was very greasy. Would never eat there again..

Hard to go wrong when you are offered a pancake as a SIDE. Food was great and I will be back!

Been here a few times with my daughter. The Food and service are both great! We intend to make this a frequent stop

This place is amazing. Fantastic food and at a reasonable price. I brought in a friend from out of town and she ordered the Cathead Biscuit. A juicy chicken breast with melted cheddar on the biggest biscuit ever! Delish! Andrew, was the best! He made suggestions and was very engaging! Cannot wait to to come back! read more

Stopped in for a good and quick breakfast before work and it did not disappoint. The food was great and came out pretty quick! Our server Nikky was knowledgeable and friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again! read more

The breakfast was amazing. The orange juice tasted so good it's like they were squeezing it by hand in the kitchen. Super friendly service

Forever my favorite breakfast place here in Nashville. Great service always and food is always delicious.

Was my first time eating here! I got the eggs Benedict on a biscuit, eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast food and the biscuit they use completely elevated the dish. Was a super fun place for brunch read more

They have amazing biscuits! The staff has been extremely friendly both of the times I've visited! I've gone twice in the last two weeks. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a yummy breakfast/brunch without any crazy wait times. We'll be back for sure! read more

Bre (Bre-Anna) our waitress at Big Bad Breakfast in Franklin made our day! She wore a smile and was attentive, even suggesting things off menu which was the delicious Paloma. The food came out quickly and our favorite was the crispy hash cake, thick bacon, and fluffy pancake. Thanks again for your hospitality, see you again soon! read more

This place has so many different and delicious options to choose from. My wife's thoughts on her chicken and waffles were "excellent." My son absolutely devoured his granola, fruit and yogurt dish and and he "loved it" aka "Thad approved." My daughters loved their BLT and BBB skillet. The service was amazing too considering they're in their first week of operation and they were short staffed for Mother's Day. This place is amazing and you should definitely go here. Welcome to Franklin, TN BBB!! read more

My son and I have eaten at BBB a few times and he loves the Belgian waffles and bacon. We slide into the bar area and the service there is very good and the food is delicious. I have had a few omelettes and both were great. read more

See all

Dined there twice for brunch -- always a long wait and not worth it. The food is just above average, nothing worth raving about. Restaurant was noticeably messy both times -- several tables were filled with dirty dishes sitting there without being cleaned up -- the staff doesn't show much attention to cleaning tables quickly at all, which is just gross. read more

Delicious! Servers were efficient and friendly. Restaurant was CLEAN, and they have the nice pebble ice !!! Prices were fair - big portions. Wonderful menu with many great options. read more

Great place to eat breakfast. I have eaten there multiple times and always had a good fresh breakfast. Will recommend to anybody.

After looking over the menu I was really excited for this place. It wasn't a total disappointment but I doubt I will ever go back. We didn't get on the wait-list before arrival so we had a long wait. I was fine with that and headed to the bar for a coffee. The bar tender was nice enough once I got their attention but I had to ask 3 times for cream. They definitely needed an additional bartender. We finally get seated and order. I ordered the grapefruit brulee and oyster scrambled eggs. I was so disappointed when the grapefruit came uncut and without proper grapefruit utensils. The only reason to have grapefruit brulee on the menu is if you have grapefruit spoons and knives. I wrestled with it for three bites and then just gave up. The scrambled eggs were entirely too salty and only had three puny oysters on top. My friends seem to enjoy their food but they are not as picky as I am I guess. This place needs more wait stuff , a chef with a lighter hand on the salt and proper utensils to eat the food that they serve. read more

Great place for quality food and service. I highly recommend this any time of any day for a bite to eat.

Crystal was great and the food was good.

Food was good and plentiful. Our waitress was very knowledgeable when asked questions and she was at our table always making sure we had what we needed. Suggest putting your name on waitlist before going. There was a 40 min wait but because we used the waitlist prior to arriving. We were seated in 5 mins from our arrival time. We will definitely go back. Asked for Bri to be your waitress. She was awesome!!!! read more

Went here with my family of 5 - the service was great and we were seated and served quickly. Unfortunately, the menu here makes it seem like everything is great, but the food was disappointing especially for the $10+ price point. My cold brew coffee was about twice the price of Starbucks and half as good with no refills. I ordered the "yard work" skillet with toast - the skillet was bland and a small portion, and the toast was good but nothing more than plain toast. My family agreed that the food was pretty bland and not worth the price. My sister compared her wrap to something from McDonald's, and my dad was confident he could make a better dish using frozen sausage at home (he got the Big Bad Breakfast Skillet). What was good were the biscuits and the grits, but the side of grits we ordered was a tiny portion for $3.50. Maybe we all just ordered their worst dishes, but I can't recommend going to this place. If all I got to try was my own food, it would've been a 1 star for sure. read more

We loved this place!! The food and service was amazing, everyone is so welcoming. Came with a big group and everything was perfect. Thanks Nikki!! read more

Big Bad Breakfast was amazing! Our server Nikki, was so sweet and was on top of it the whole time! Highly recommend this place. read more

Nikki our server was amazing. very friendly and attentive.. she was full of sunshine this Saturday Morning. Thank You Nikki

We joined the online waitlist, were instructed to check in by 11:19, I checked in by 11:15. By then, the app said we were 6th in line. I had requested a high chair. Waited in the restaurant for 1 whole hour, we asked the hostess if it would be much and that's when we were told that I had requested a high chair and a booth and that would not be possible. If we had not asked she wouldn't had said anything. We decided to leave because this is horrible service. We were sitting right by the hostess, it is common sense if you can't accommodate our request, that is completely fine but be courteous enough as to let us know. If we knew the request was an issue we could have settled for another table and just bring in his stroller. Terrible, terrible service. Communicating costs nothing. read more

BreAnna did an amazing job! The food was excellent and the waitlist on Yelp worked perfectly. We walked right in to a table. Love this addition to Franklin! read more

We walked in with great hopes and hunger. However, the hopes were dashed when not a single soul came to seat us. We had several people look our way, however, no one said a word or acknowleged us in any way. After about ten minutes of standing there and being invisible we left. Hopes dashed, hunger was cured by First Watch! read more

The inside of the building is absolutely beautiful. What a great space they have! Nice staff too! Unfortunately We Probs won't go back just cause the food was okay. Not bad just not great either. I ordered the burrito which I felt was very soggy. And the marinated tomatoes as my side. It was three slices of raw tomato in some butter sauce. 4/10 for me but obviously that's a personal opinion so give it a try! read more

The extreme wait and poor attitude of the host/hostess staff is an unfortunate prelude to the meal. The kitchen staff obviously knows what they are doing, as the food is quite good. read more

I heard sooo many great things about this restaurant so I decided to give it a try this morning--I had a Scramble (very bland with all the cheese in one corner of the dish--literally!) with a biscuit (have heard you HAVE to have their biscuits and gravy) it was flat and hard and doughy inside. I mentioned it to my waitress and she said she knew they were having trouble with them because the freezer that stored them wasn't working properly. So WHY would they even serve them? I tried to pull off a piece to try the gravy and it was too hard to chew. The waitress said she could replace it with a pancake(the only thing that really was very good, just not hot) and then proceeded to tell me when she brought my bill that they "comped" the pancake--what??? $24 for that (including tip)? Very disappointed!!! read more

Get the fried hash potato cake! Nice and crunchy. Nice selection of breakfast items as well as lunch. This was our usual breakfast while traveling. Didn't get to try the French rolled omelet! read more

Over priced for food that is not good. Biscuits tasted bland. Service was good and slow

Overpriced frozen food with very poor quality service if you're not white! Manager ( a woman) has a nasty attitude...do not recommend Macdonald food with downtown upscale restaurant prices! read more

Food was great. Service was great. Music was wayyy too loud. Iced coffees are so good! So is the avocado toast!

My Bro-in-Law lives there in Franklin - we needed a brunch place. I wish we could get one of these in Golden, CO. It's fun and spacious - Lindsey was amazing and helpful with descriptions. Special bacon - get for an appetizer to share along with a biscuit and Gravy! Bring on the great drink menu. Then everyone got something different - ALL delicious. I'm a French fry connoisseur and these were yum. Shrimp and Grits - perfecto. Thanks for everything Lindsey. See you next time we're in town. read more

I have seen this place in other cities and have wanted to try it since it opened here. We finally got the chance and had an underwhelming first time experience. Our family got there about 12:30 PM. We were hungry, got seated pretty quickly, and got our order placed. Not sure what went wrong after that. Our food took a very long time to come. I estimate that we had been there an hour before we got food. Customers who were seated after we had ordered were well into their meal before our food arrived. I was starving and annoyed by the time our food came to the table. When it finally came, we had no silverware (more waiting, staring at the food) and my omelette was cold to the touch. I ate it anyway because we needing to get going. All in all, we spent 1.5 hours there just to get breakfast. Not sure if they were short staffed or we just caught them on a bad day. Cold omelette aside, the other entrees tried to put a unique spin on breakfast items, but somehow just missed the mark for us. We averaged $18 per person for an entree and soft drink including tip. In retrospect, that seems high since one of the meals was a kid's meal. There might have been a mistake on the bill that I overlooked. We were in a rush by that time and I did not check the bill as carefully as I should have. The one thing that I did like is their outside seating area is dog friendly which is not very common around here. There are other good breakfast options around. No need for us to return here. read more

Walked in to get seated and one of the 3 teen hostesses started laughing when I checked in ... I asked her what's so funny and she replied ooo nothing , she continued to laugh so I asked for the manager. While sitting off to the side the 3 hostess teens started to talk badly about us so I reminded her that I was still standing there and she laughed again. After speaking to the manager we were fine she was going to handle it.. when we walked back up to wait the hostesses they were continuing to laugh so my husband had enough and we left! GARBAGE!!! We're currently eating a fantastic breakfast with a great respectful teen staff at J. Christopher's! read more

We love Big Bad Breakfast. We've introduced our friends and they love it too. Great food and service. Gets busy but it is so worth the wait. Try the Jack Benny and ask for their homemade salsa. read more

Food is fair to good not great. Service is very mediocre. Coffee is excellent if server can break away from chit chat and deliver it to your table. Over priced for quality and lack of service. I'll go to First Watch henceforth. When you pay over $12 for breakfast, I expect food to be great and service top notch. Not the case here. read more

Food is good and I enjoyed the friendly servers. They do play loud rock and roll music which has it's place but certainly not at breakfast time. Please please softer music for breakfast. Rock and roll would be better for lunch... read more
