Whenever we're in Nashville, or one of the nearby towns, we always look for new breakfast places to try. My daughter found Big Bad Breakfast in Franklin and we all loved it. One of the perks for us was that the wait wasn't too long on a Saturday morning (as is the case with many places). I ordered the Big Bad Breakfast skillet with a biscuit. The food was excellent. The biscuit was actually different with a pepper kick. Blackberry jelly on the biscuit was perfect! My wife and daughter had omelettes which looked delicious as well. The only issue keeping this review from 5 stars was that both my cappuccino and my daughter's latte were served lukewarm (I should have asked for a hot one, but didn't). This is a great option for those in Franklin looking for a great breakfast. I know we'll be back! read more

Greeted promptly, friendly, quick service. Delicious large breakfast, southern style. Got the Redneck benny, avo toast, BBB simply breakfast, Cathead Chicken biscuit, turkey and Swiss sandwich. Food was yummy unfortunately the forgot our side of spicy bacon, and country potatoes. But they got them upon request. read more

Niesha was the best!! Very kind and great service. Food was great and Niesha was very friendly!

Highly recommend using the Yelp Waitlist! It was an hour and a half "wait". They were slammed on a Saturday mid morning. Fast friendly service. Celebrating a friends birthday. It was a good breakfast spot. Breakfast is not my thing but this was not bad. The biggest bummer was my coffee was not hot. The food was good great flavor and just enough of a portion. read more

SETH is truly one of the best servers I've ever encountered. He was incredibly authentic and made our experience very enjoyable. Also, he's a "gangster wrap" fan, so that's a big green flag in my opinion. Everyone should be more like Seth at BBB! #BBBsBiggestFan #SethRules read more

Love the food and portions are large. My grandson loves coming here on our outings. We have had the pancakes, omelets and waffles. I'm going to try the biscuits and gravy next time. read more

Service was prompt and professional. A good place to go for a weekend brunch with southern hospitality atmosphere and good variety of comfort food options close by walkable hotels, parks, and gyms read more

We sat at the bar area. Bre was our server. She was great. Happy, great attitude and genuinely seemed happy to serve. We need more Bre's in this world. read more

I have been to many BBB locations including the original and enjoy the different ambience each location provides. This location has a great parking lot and I enjoy the convenience of joining the waitlist in advance so there are no long waits upon arrival. Food offerings are similar but presented/prepared differently. Love the fresh squeezed orange juice and the cocktails you can order after 10am. Only thing I was bummed about is no birthday pancake or anything when going there for a birthday breakfast like the main location offers but overall would go here once a week if I could. Proud supporter of John Currence establishments. read more

We are back again. It's our favorite breakfast spot. Pancakes are the best. Everything is taste and delicious. Special shout to Jordan for taking care of us very well. read more

Love BBB- great food and great service. I got the breakfast skillet which was delicious and my husband got the steak and eggs which was cooked perfectly! We will be back! read more

I was excited to try BBB because of their GF options. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was very nice, but must have had too many tables all over the restaurant. Unfortunately it took 45 minutes (after I went to ask about it) to get our food. When they brought it, (we had to find someone to give us utensils) it was cold, and the pancakes and French toast were dry and hard from sitting. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

Waiting time wasn't that bad but they don't give clear instructions for first timers all they ask for is your name and number and tell you a wait time. After I sat for 20 mins and seen customers told the same them I was told but they where going before me I was a little confused so I asked the hostess and he stated you should receive a text message and I need to sign in that way to put me in queue. After sitting for 17 mins at this time. Finally got a booth and order my food I ordered the meal called yard work which was a skillets with all the ingredients inside. The potatoes were was over cooked so I asked for a different meal. I ordered an omelette but with all the ingredients as the yard work. Which was 2 scrambled eggs avocado spinach tomatoes bell peppers onions mushrooms potatoes herbs and Swiss. All sounds good right but they created me an omelette with all this meat inside the country ham was so salty I spit out and the food was so greasy I just gave it back and ate my toast. The fresh orange juice was the highlight of my meal. First and last time for me....... read more

Glad we finally stopped in to check this place out. Was starting to get crowded when we got our table. Fairly big restaurant and they have patio seating. Staff was great and our waitress was training someone else on the wait staff - both were great and attentive. Place was clean and lots of great menu options. We started with espresso (which was good & strong) and a cup of coffee. Bummed because the coffee tasted burnt and wasn't great. Breakfast needs a good cup of coffee. That was a big bummer! Breakfast made up for it! We had the Big Bad Breakfast and their Andouille Sausage was awesome and so was their crispy hash cake (next time I'm asking for it well done). Biscuit had a lot of flavor - it's a dense one, not super flaky but flavor is great! Try the peach or blackberry preserve - so good! The side pancake really tastes like a funnel cake and you don't need too much syrup on it. It was fluffy & delicious. Their homemade hot sauce it not spicy, but really delicious and really recommend with your eggs! Now I didn't think this would work...BUT IT DOES - the Fried Oyster Scramble "Hangtown Style!" I eat raw oysters and never really fried and you're talking about having them at breakfast?! IT WORKS! Delicious dish and highly recommend! So happy to have another great breakfast spot on Franklin! FYI they have an am Happy Hour (for breakfast/brunch cocktails) & trying one on my next day off! read more

Reviewer refreshers: we are a mother/son review team. We do this to help other parents find fun places to eat with my sometimes picky kiddos with Autism. So like past reviews you have Barrett's review then mom's (Sam) review. Barrett: I believe the chicken here is to spicy as well as the ranch being sub-par.I believe the waitress was quite nice. And the ambience was that similar to a farm modern diner. Mom: Decor is very nice however needs a good dusting. Music was on point and we both really enjoyed it. Although Barrett was not a fan of the chicken, I really liked the spin on the Jack Benny. It could have used more hollandaise sauce but as a whole it was good. read more

This is a solid breakfast spot. The food was very good, though not quite as good as some of my other favorite breakfast spots in the area. Our server Kenya was very friendly, and the entire staff was very helpful. I had the "Redneck" Benny, which is a tasty take on eggs Benedict. The grits were super good. The biscuits are light and fluffy, though not flaky. The gravy was good and thick, but not quite as flavorful as I expected. My wife had the Big Bad Biscuit Sandwich, which was also good. Everything was prepared well, service was prompt and friendly, and the place has a cool country diner type of feel. An overall good experience, with absolutely no complaints. I just didn't feel that the food was so good that it had me craving more. I'd be perfectly happy to eat here again, and they most certainly draw a big crowd. I would just personally tend to favor my other local breakfast favorites. read more

I really enjoyed this spot. You could add your name to the waitlist via the app as well so that was helpful. We first started out with a round of bloody marys. I had a virgin and it was delicious. No celery but beans instead. I'm OK with that! We then had the french toast that came in three pieces topped with strawberries and powdered sugar. It was delicious! Use the squeeze bottle and add some blackberry preserves and it's alllll good. I had the BLT omelet and asked for the mayo and tomato gravy on the side. I didn't know what to think of that but when I combined it and had it with my bite of eggs, it was delicious. It was more gravy than mayo. The greens needed more dressing and it was tasty. The hash brown was delicious. I also had a bite of the chicken breast on the biscuit sandwich, just the chicken. It was moist and crispy. Excellent! I would love to try more items but I'm from CA. Hope to return again soon to visit family. It was also wayyy more affordable. My omelette would be a $22 dish at home. Review #33 of 100 in 2022. read more

Have to update my last review. Couple things. Manager did not leave contact info after saying to reach out. Went on their website to find it. I emailed, and replied to her response abt when Id like to cime in again and did not receive a response. After a couple days, emailed again to follow up and she said she forgot to hit send. Said to "shoot her a text the day I planned to come so she can have a table ready. I ended not being able to make it and asker her to email a gift card instead like she offered in her initial response to my review. She said sure. It's been about 10 days and I've received nothing. Avoid this place. read more

First time at this restaurant. Took a little longer than expected to get our food. The fresh squeezed OJ was delicious! I ordered a veggie omelette and unfortunately it was served lukewarm.... Not very tasty The Cinnabon was good... not great. read more

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

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.

Fun breakfast spot! Our server was new and such a delight. I had the cheese omelette which was light and cheesy. I really enjoyed the fries and light salad sides. Coffee was very good. Others had the avocado toast, Cajun omelette, and French toast. All raved about the yumminess. Porch is furbaby friendly. read more

Visiting Franklin and we tried BBB for a late breakfast. Get the French toast. I'm a French toast lover and I wanted to order it again. Sooooo good. My daughter ordered the avocado toast and it was a huge serving of fresh ingredients and yumminess. Coffee was great and service was wonderful. We would definitely go back! read more

I saw the amazing reviews on here so I immediately joined the waitlist here on yelp. It was Father's Day so I excepted a bit of a delay, but once I arrived I only had a 10 minute wait. Despite it being one of the busiest days of the year, the service was outstanding. I ordered the Creole Omelet which came with a side spring salad, perfectly dressed, and crunchy, well-seasoned fries. The omelet was stuffed with shrimp, sausage, tomatoes and cheese and covered with a delicious Cajun sauce (flavorful without being too spicy). When my server took my plate she offered to get me coffee to go. Total win! Definitely give this place a shot. read more

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

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

I really enjoyed this place, stopped in around brunch time and sat at the bar. The bar top was a little messy but that's ok. Service was prompt and friendly and they gave me some solid recommendations on what to try. Ended up having the mother of all biscuits and a breakfast margarita. I was worried about the two flavors clashing but ultimately they didn't and the combination worked. The biscuit was huge and full of flavor, The chicken was cooked perfectly. I recommend asking for their hot sauce, which is more of a salsa verde, to spread on it. Prices were reasonable, especially for Franklin. 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
