Not gonna lie. The food was on point, as always. However, the sticker shock of a "pitcher" of mimosas is scary. I won't be back with a group for this again. It is quite a rip off. Food and service is always great. 3 stars for the crazy amount of money they charge for juice and a bottle. read more

Do not eat here. Wait is entirely too long for average food at best. Don't bother using the online waitlist, they do not honor.

Please fix your reservation system. Twice now we had to wait for a hour thinking it was 30 minutes. Last time I was told we were next to watch 4 parties go before us. I ask why we weren't next and I'm told we are next, then 2 more go before us. So many others around us thought they were in the system only to find out they are not. We weren't next checked in but it was still messed up. 2 hours from the time we got there until we left. You know this is a problem fix it. read more

The service was good. The food was not. The biscuit fell apart and the potatoes were overcooked. I had the low country skillet and could not even eat it. Personally I think leaving the skin on the potatoes in a skillet is gross. read more

Love the unique menu choices. Had the veg omelette with greens. Very healthy and quite tasty. Great service as well read more

Food was good, servers polite, and quick service. Have to wait a little while for seating, but that happens at most good restaurants.

BBB's avocado toast is the perfect mix of hearty & healthy. The ingredients were fresh, & the eggs were poached to perfection. I appreciated the gluten free (GF) option, as well as the separate prep space. The server was knowledgeable & attentive- even replaced the watermelon with strawberries in my side of fruit after she overheard I don't like melons. This is easily one of the best GF avo toasts in Birmingham! Suggestion- Label the menu with common allergens. This will decrease the amount of questions asked, speed up ordering, & ease the customer. :) read more

The Big Bad Skillet was delicious! The waffle was so light and fluffy! The iced coffee was spot-on! Our server, Allain, was so kind too.

i decided to eat my breakfast from the big bad breakfast - greystone location for the first time. i elected to have my big ass breakfast delivered today and was pleasantly surprised on how fast my order arrived at my front door on such a rainy soggy day. the driver made excellent time and she was very nice. the breakfast was still warm as all humanly possible on this fairly long delivery. i ordered the big ass breakfast platter with goat cheese scrambled eggs, country ham, bacon and a side of goat cheese grits with biscuits and gravy. everything was cooked as ordered and under the circumstances still warm enough and ready to eat. the cathead biscuits were very good, big and fluffy. the sausage gravy & goat cheese grits were both delicious and was spiced perfectly. i've never had breakfast delivered before and this will not be my last time. obviously i was extremely pleased with this breakfast and the portion size. this meal easily fed two people. i have now eaten at both the homewood and now greystone location and now know both are consistently very good, read more

Not bad! Came after church one day after a few prior trips and left pretty satisfied. read more

Food was delicious as always. Hot and served quickly. The virtual wait also helps so much.

I stoped by here on the way to Memphis TN. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was served hot and everything taste delicious. I will definitely be back. They also have lunch items on the menu and I saw a few things I'd like to try. read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Greystone - Fried Oyster Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

A restaurant with "bad" in it's name better be good or it's name could be it's demise. Thankfully BBB delivered on Wednesday morning. I met friends for breakfast at 8:30. The restaurant was busy, but there wasn't a wait for a table. I had the Breakfast Skillet and it was big and bad (in the good way). Three eggs are scrambled with bacon, sausage, ham, potatoes, and onions. The mix is topped with cheddar cheese. It is served with a biscuit. This is a lot of food, and I could only finish half of it. read more

Always the best food consistently and I can't get enough of the Cold Brew here. Anna also gave 10 star service! read more

The food and the service was amazing. Was seated in a timely manner. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I had the pancakes and they didn't disappoint. Service was great. My 1st time visiting the 280 location and I will definitely be back.

I love this place so much. I recommend the biscuit crumble. Be sure to join the waitlist before you arrive

Love the atmosphere, they have fresh squeezed orange juice and homemade jelly! Feels like real food combined with great person serving food!

Wait wasn't bad, the food was Yummy and the service was amazing!!! Hadn't been in a long time & stopped by for brunch after church ... they still have it! read more

Love it here and the manager is so hot ! The experience was great overall . Fast paced Nice workers read more

We enjoy coming here on Saturday or Sunday mornings. There is usually a wait but never too long though. Food has always been good! The employees work hard for sure! read more

We frequent BBB Greystone due to their fantastic food and service! This weekend they went above and beyond by providing 50 breakfast sandwiches for our school volleyball tournament to feed the coaches, refs etc. The kitchen staff was amazing and made them all on time and we got rave reviews from all who ate it. Frank, Sidney and Janna are always there to make sure our experience is top notch. We love BBB! read more

I like this place, when you can get in. Great breakfast options. Service is very good as well. I guess that's why it is busy... I would recommend this place to anyone on this side of town. read more

If, like me you really enjoy breakfast, BBB is a must. It's all good, I usually have difficulty choosing. We sat at the counter last visit, and enjoyed chatting with the help and others at the counter. BBB is always clean and neat read more

I would like to start out by saying the ambiance is wonderful, the marketing is on point and the restaurant seems to be doing great! So...with that ...I never put my confidence into ambience or marketing. I played it safe and ordered the simplest of breakfast orders, a soft pitch, a breakfast sandwich( sausage, egg and cheese sandwich) with hash browns. And topped it off with a coffee. Simple right? Well, with all the food coming out of the kitchen, comparable to a F1- Formula 1 pit crew, I figured this would be a safe order with knock-out-of-the-park results! So it started with great coffee and no menu given to me. I'm guessing the waitress assumed I memorized the menu? No biggie. At this point, even the toast looked amazing. So I knew once I got my meal it would take a turd wrapped in a tortilla to screw up my appetite! Well, I got my cold biscuit sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and what looked like triangle shaped hash. Again...no biggie. I was hungry! I bit into my cold sandwich and eggs and cheese-good, biscuit-good, SAUSAGE-NOT SO GOOD. I've made breakfast sausage from scratch and there's some seasoning that you absolutely want to add which gives it that breakfast sausage taste. This sausage lacked every bit of seasoning that was needed to make it an actual breakfast sausage and not just some flavored meat. I have NEVER in my life taken out meat from my sandwich IN ANY FORM! I guess there's a first for everything! As for the "hash" browns I can only describe that as rubbery potatoes out of a box probably! Which leads me to this, if you want to call your breakfast restaurant, "Big Bad Breakfast" live up to your name cause there was NOTHING big or bad about it, unless you are living up to it, then call it Big BAD Breakfast. read more

This place was delicious!! I forget what benny I ordered but there is a hashbrown under there. Eggs were poached perfectly and the hashbrown was a nice addition instead of the usual english muffin. Fresh squeezed orange juice is always a plus and the biscuits were great too. read more

Great place to eat!! Always have a wonderful experience. The servers are so nice. It's an incredible experience.

Service was amazing with kind and efficient staff. I got the chicken and waffles and in my personal opinion, it could've been better, but I believe that's due to personal preference rather than the quality of the food itself. The building is very inviting, I wouldn't come here by myself or suggest it but I wouldn't be opposed to coming again, there's definitely some worse places. read more

Visited for the 3rd time in 5 weeks. Lots of parking in shopping center. This is my new fav breakfast spot. There has been a wait each time. I sat at bar. Last time ordered the mother of all chicken biscuits. This time ordered the 'henny" with chicken and grits. Food was excellent! Great service from Maddie! read more

Service 10/10 Carlos was absolutely fantastic with timing and making sure we were enjoying everything. Probably one of the better servers we've had in Alabama even with the restaurant being busy. The hostess was super friendly and the busser was truly working so hard. Food 9/10 The food was hearty and really did fill you up. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. The only reason it lost a point was due to some pinkness in the chicken towards the end of my meal, the rest of it the chicken was cooked perfectly. Honestly, it just seemed like they were busy and it was a slip up. And even then I was so full from eating the rest of my meal that I didn't even get to it. read more

Cold gravy on a hard biscuit. Somehow they managed to mess up the grits too. Orange juice was delicious.

After passing it for many days, I decided to stop in for breakfast. The Bloody Mary was good and the Chicken that came with the Chicken and Waffles was seasoned very well (yumm). But as I was about to wrap up I saw a Baby Roach crawling on the bar's counter top headed straight for me Everything was good until that point. Not sure about a return visit. read more

What a fun establishment! We arrived a little before 9 on Saturday with a party of 5. Inside was full, but outside had tables so we sat there. We ordered the yard work skillet, screaming deamon, and 2 kids meals, an egg meal and a pancake meal. My husband added a bloody mary and I had a big bad cold brew. Everything was delicious and didn't take long at all. We were so impressed that we're already planning another trip for lunch! read more

Wow, what an establishment. The food is always great. The service is very good, specially Jamal Penahoee he is just great. The place is always full but they find room for everyone. The location is a very nice area go to my review for farm bowl to see about the Homewood restaurants. read more

This was my first visit here and it was worth the wait. Upon arrival, the hostess said the wait time would be about 35 mins. They take your phone number and text you when your table is ready. I was also able to view our place in line on yelp (So cool). They have benches out front so we sat outside and waited. It was pretty busy but we got in in no time. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food came out fast and hot. I love brunch and this has definitely been added to my favorites list. read more

I totally forgot that they closed at 2:30! I got the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. I think it was called the scream'n demon. Great crispy chicken without being oily. I have also had the avocado toast which is a huge portion and good to split with someone. My husband always gets the big bad breakfast. I would love more flavors in the avocado toast and BB breakfast. The sausage was good but I didn't really get any other spices coming through. The presentation was also a bit bland. I think Portland has ruined me and I've probably become too snooty... eep. The food here was good not great. read more

Hubby and I stopped in for breakfast while on a weekend get-away to Birmingham. We are at the other location last time we visited and enjoyed our food.
