It wasn't crowded but the service was quick and welcoming. The grapefruit juice tasted just as fresh as it claimed, it also didn't have a strong aftertaste which was a pleasant surprise. I also had their chef's favorite, the Screamin Demon which is a fried chicken sandwich with seasoned fries with ranch. I started with the fries and immediately, the ranch was nice and savory along with the fries being crispy. The sandwich itself was savory but not too overpowering, the fried chicken was crunchy which went well with the rest of the sandwich. Overall, this is a gem for brunch! read more

So we got the Low Country Skillet and Huevos Rancheros and oh man... they were SO GOOD. The low country skillet comes with a side bread of your choice and we chose the biscuit which I'm so glad we did. The biscuit was so soft and you get to choose from an assortment of jam, which tasted so good with the biscuit. I just felt like it was bursting with flavor and so savory. The huevos rancheros were really good and satisfying. Our waitress suggested that for the egg we choose Sunny side up so that you can pop the yolk and it will bleed into the rest of the dish. It did not disappoint! The inside of the restaurant was super cool. I loved the vibe. It's actually a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. There are two floors. I actually felt like upstairs felt very open with the big windows. The people working there are super nice. There are so many dishes that looked so exciting to me, and I will be back to try some more. So many cool options! read more

I have not been to BBB in so long as I travel so much. Yet today a friend asked for us to meet there for breakfast to catch up. It was comfortable as we sat for a long while and the food we had was yummy. My favorite thing always is this service at places because those ones can make things be good or bad no matter what the food tastes like. The server we had was seriously supper nice and enjoyable and helpful the whole time for us. So all is good in here and it was a good breakfast spot to go to for the first time in so long. read more

We are here in a Saturday morning around 10 am. The restaurant was full but we didn't have to wait for a table. We ate upstairs. It is a cute place, clean, and lots of windows and natural light. We ordered the big meat skillet, the veggie skillet and the oyster scramble. The portions were great. The food was fresh. It was a solid meal but nothing we would rush back for. read more

Overall, I love breakfast, and while the portions are very generous, they were a bit heavy for me. My favorite dish was the biscuit crumble. It had so many layers, and the tomato added the perfect balance, preventing it from being too salty or overpowered by the bacon. I've actually developed a newfound love for tomato gravy. In comparison, the Jack Benny was too salty for my taste. I really enjoyed the fried hash cake, but with the ham, the saltiness was all I could taste. I loved the décor, and this experience definitely doesn't deter me from coming back to try more dishes. read more

We had been talking about coming here for a while now, it's just normally out of the way on the weekends plus hangry kiddos wanting food quickly means we haven't had a chance yet. We walked in for a brunch / early lunch on the weekend. We didn't have to wait long. Our kids both wanted pancakes and bacon. After some debate, I settled on the chicken and waffles. It was very good, but my gosh that was a lot of food - I ate on it another meal easily. My wife got one of the breakfast scrambles and enjoyed it. I hope they open one in Trussville - I think they'd do well there! read more

First thing, first....can we say BANG for your buck! The portions are worth the price. The food was delicious. Service was on point. They were very busy; however, the service did not suffer. The hostesses, server, and manager (?-nice gentleman who seemed like he was the boss) were all friendly and welcoming. I had the Big Bad Skillet and was pleasantly surprised at how meat heavy it was. And the biscuits were "chef's kiss" fluffy and big. Definitely a place to return to. read more

This place has a really cool decor inside. There is a generous bar area with booths and along U-shaped bar. The other half is a dining area with some very colorful paintings of the dishes. You can find on their menu. I came here in the morning after a very long evening of working the entire night before. Sat down right after it opened and ordered the bacon bloody Mary along with the tocino eggs Benedict. Also got coffee. Okay, if you are craving eggs benedict, you will be disappointed. The meat is essentially a bbq-southern-style version, which wasn't bad, but did not compliment the hollindaise, and rather clashed with the flavor. Service was good, and since I was there so early, there were next to no one else at the restaurant. It is a cute place, as I said before! But...well, I am speaking more about the decor and atmosphere than the food so...you get the idea. Maybe I ordered poorly, even though the dish I ordered was supposedly one of the more ordered plates. Maybe I was sleep deprived and crabby. Either way, I left disappointed. read more

On our way back home, we stopped here to grab a true breakfast. Of course, I checked YELP before I went and it had great ratings. It was a wait however I managed to grab some seats at the bar for quicker service. Drink- Bloody Mary and Manmosa. The drinks were not strong however it quenched my thirst. Food- Rancheros bowl and biscuit and gravy. Food was good and if passing through I would stop again. The server/bartender was very nice. Tip is included just FYI. read more

My first time there. Ate upstairs, deli-type atmosphere. Delightful. Breakfast food was very good! Service was excellent!!! Waiter was Elliott Carr, and he made the experience perfect. He was personable, funny, attentive, and a joy to be around. I'll ask for him next time... and there WILL be a next time! read more

It had been a really long time since I had BBB. This was a good choice for brunch , after leaving church. The hostess was really nice and prompt in adding me to the waitlist . I ended up sitting at the bar. The service was fast & friendly. I ordered a mimosa to drink. It was tasty and refreshing . I ordered steak and eggs with hash brown cake as my side. I was satisfied with my food overall. The steak is a 6 oz ribeye , so medium rare temp was perfect! My fav was the hash brown cake!! So good!!!! This was my first time at this location. There's street parking only, so this might be hit or miss depending on when you visit. read more

We were able to find a park right out front. So I was happy about that, as parking can be quite the task in this place. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will be back again. read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Big bad breakfast skillet. Yummy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

Breakfast is my favorite meal and I was so excited to find a popular diner in walking distance from the Aloft hotel. I sat at the bar on a comfortable chair downstairs and was immediately greeted and asked what I wanted to drink. The waitress had an amazing personality, was kind, quick, and was helpful with recommendations. Do not leave without trying the pancakes, OMG.... out of this world. So fluffy and delicious. I had a side with the yard work skillet I ordered. The pancakes were 10/10. The skillet was not my favorite. Ingredients looked fresh and it was a decent serving, however it was lacking flavor, a little too bland for my taste. I was very thankful they had salsa at the bar that helped add some flavor to the skillet. I also had an ice coffee Vietnamese style with caramel and vanilla syrup. Very good! It's a charming breakfast spot and it's popular. There's something on the menu for everyone. Great service and good food! They also have lunch items if you're not a breakfast person. read more

My husband and I came to Big B breakfast a few years ago, but cannot get in due to the long wait! My friends and I were here for girls weekend and decided to give it one more try. And boy was I happy we did were seated immediately. Keep in mind we got there very early before 8 o'clock. The food is absolutely delicious. I got the sausage eggs and French toast. Oh my goodness the sausage is some of the best I have ever had. The French toast were light fluffy, and delicious. We will definitely be back! Food: 2 Service: 2 Ambiance 1 read more

I really liked this place and thought it was above average for a trendy brunch spot. The service was really good, lots of seating, and a big menu. I got the breakfast plate with poached eggs, chicken sausage and a biscuit, and every part of it was great- there was so much flavor. I got the cold brew, which was underwhelming and not very strong, but still good. My friends love this place so I'm sure we'll end up coming back. They also have Vietnamese iced coffee read more

Magical. Shrimp and grits heaven. Not sure how else to describe this meal other than simply the best shrimp and grits I've ever had - the grits were extra buttery and the shrimp cooked in this tomato, sausage concoction that I'm still dreaming about. The wife doesn't even like grits and she kept taking bites of mine. Yes, that unforgettably stupid good! The redneck benny was also pretty amazing. Two eggs on top of some of some delicious gravy on top of some ham on top of some golden, fluffy biscuits? What's not to love? Their drinks are just the perfect accompaniments to was everything down. Super tasty bloody mary and pineapple upside down mimosa. Staff was great. They seemed to have a great time and that attitude was infectious. All super cool! They need to open one in Austin! read more

I frequent Big Bad Breakfast and it never disappoints. Me and my friend came here Sunday around 12 pm and the wait time was around 30 minutes. We got a text that our table was ready and were quickly seated. Big Bad Breakfast is a very busy place with kind of a vintage feel. The waitress was very attentive, even though it was busy. Their menu has a combination of breakfast and lunch, with many different options. I usually order the Biscuit Crumble because it is amazing every time, but I ordered the French toast because I was wanting something more on the sweet side. Our food came very quickly and it was hot and fresh. The French toast did not disappoint. It seemed like it was made from a fresh baguette, and it was covered in powdered sugar and berries. The prices of the food here is a great for how good the food tastes and how fresh it is. This is one of my all-time favorite breakfast spots in the Birmingham area. I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting great breakfast. read more

Big Bad Breakfast - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

Big Bad Breakfast in Homewood is one of those places that just gets it right. The food is consistently really good, and the atmosphere makes you actually want to sit and enjoy your meal instead of rushing out. It has a relaxed but energetic vibe, and you can tell it is a popular spot for a reason. I dined in, and everything we ordered came out fresh and tasted great. The portions were solid, and nothing felt thrown together. It is breakfast food, but elevated in a way that still feels approachable. The menu has plenty of classic options, but there are also enough unique items to keep it interesting. The staff stood out to me the most. They were friendly, attentive, and listened carefully to any requests. Nothing was messed up, and they checked in without being overbearing. That kind of service makes a big difference. Overall, it is a reliable place with great food and good energy. I would definitely go back. read more

This spot was recommended to me by a friend from Bham as well as the Internet. When I arrived they were busy, as I expected. I was very lucky to grab the last single bar counter seat at the time. I ordered a sweet tea as well as the Belgian Waffle. I got fruit on the side. I chose a sweet brunch dish as I had ate a hearty biscuit from Martin's in Georgia for breakfast. This probably isn't their best, but I still enjoyed my meal. The atmosphere is cozy as well! read more

This has been on my list of brunches I've wanted to try for quite some time. I finally got to try it last weekend with some friends. This is a convenient location for me in Homewood and is surrounded by all the cute shops in Homewood. I expected a wait on a Saturday morning, and we did have a 25 minute wait but it wasn't too bad at all as we could shop around while we waited. They have both upstairs and downstairs seating which was kind of neat as most restaurants around here are only one level. We sat upstairs facing the window so that was kind of cool. I saw several menu options I wanted to try. It was so hard choosing what I wanted! I'm a sucker for both skillet scrambles and avocado toast so I was torn among those options. It just means I'll have to come back! I ended up going with the Big Bad Breakfast Skillet and a side of whole wheat toast. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, onions, potato, and cheddar in it. It was so good! One of the best breakfast items I've ever had! It sounded good, and tasted even better! Service was pretty good too, and now I know what all the hype is about! read more

New breakfast spot I found here in Birmingham. I have to say It's probably one of my favorites here so far. From the time I walked in the door and was greeted by the energetic, smiling faces at the door until I left I didn't have to ask for anything! After spending what seemed like 30 minutes looking at other Elite member reviews of this place I finally settled on a couple entrees. The first was The Mother of all biscuits! The biscuit was hot, fresh, fluffy which was the perfect bed for the chicken tenders and yummy pool of sausage gravy. There was also a generous amount of cheddar cheese on top. I give this dish an 8 out of 10. If the tenders were a chicken breast, then I would have given it a 10. The flavor was a 9 out of 10 though. The iced tea was fresh, and I was offered one to go which I gladly accepted. The other entree I chose was the Chicken biscuit. I will give this one a 6 out of 10. The biscuit was still warm, fresh and delicious, but the Chicken breast was fried and there was just a slice of cheddar cheese on top. They could have easily brined the chicken and added some homemade pickles and a cranberry relish?!?! I mean anything besides a boring piece of chicken. The staff were super friendly and attentive so I will definitely be back. The ambiance was very loud though because of the kitchen being directly behind the bar, also it was a very cold day yesterday and I sat at the bar, every time the front door opened I was in the freezer. Other than that, it was a great breakfast spot. read more

I'm a sucker for Saturday morning brunch and Big Bad Breakfast didn't disappoint! I usually go for the low country skillet, but this time I tried the Jack Benny. The eggs were over easy, just like I like em. I love a good hash and these were nice and crispy. I went with the grapefruit as a side in an attempt to be healthy lol, but it was broiled and actually quite tasty. Service was nice and friendly and even though there was a crowd everyone was in good spirits, likely due to their full bellies. Sometimes I'll come sit at the bar...or maybe it's just a countertop since they don't sell alcohol. Anyway, sometimes I'll sit there and dine to add some people time to my remote work life, it's typically all good vibes. read more
