Right when we arrived, we were walked to our table, which was a booth and was plenty of room for the 5 of us. When we were walking to our table, I noticed how nice this restaurant was! The ambiance was on point. Very nice but not too nice. Our waiter immediately addressed us when we sat down and gave us his recommendations for drinks. I decided on the peach Paloma spritz. It was delicious and well presented. Others in my party got red wine, a French 75 and the market ranch water. I thought mine was the most delicious lol. Before we ordered our appetizers, the waiter was so beyond knowledgeable about the whole menu. Gave us all of the specials like nothing I have ever heard before. He was so great! For our appetizers, we got the bread butter candle, smoked fish dip, and the burrata salad. The bread butter candle was the best thing I've ever had! It was so cool and very unique. I absolutely loved the burrata salad, but I thought the fish dip was a tad too fishy for me. For our entrees, most of the table got the red fish and the other two got the steak and the pasta. We all devoured the red fish! It was so delicious and a good portion. Others in my pastry weren't fans of the pasta, but the steak was one of the best I've ever tasted. From the service to the food to the ambiance, this place is one of my favorites I've ever dined at! I can't wait to come back!

Food was great but I knocked off a star for hospitality. We checked in on Yelp and arrived right on time. It was just the three of us and we still waited 5-10 mins while they seated other parties that walked in after us. Maybe they checked in too, but the hostess didn't seem very inviting. Our server was quick and got our orders in correctly but again, I expected a more inviting atmosphere. The food however was great. I got the shrimp and grits and it was amazing! The tomato and bacon sauce was spot on either flavors. Good sized shrimp that was cooked perfectly and not over or underdone. I also got the Vietnamese cold brew but it was just okay. Husband ordered the big bad breakfast skillet and said he enjoyed it with salsa on the side. They also brought out some strawberry jam for the biscuit for my toddlers meal. Overall, quick service and yummy food for a brunch spot off 30A. read more

I recently had take-out from Big Bad Breakfast in Inlet Beach and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I decided to try the Yard Work skillet with a biscuit, and it was truly delicious. The mix of fresh vegetables in the skillet made it a perfect meal for vegetarians like me. The flavors were outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty option. In addition to the skillet, I also tried the French Toast, which was a delightful treat. The balance of sweetness, along with the crispy edges and soft interior, made it a standout dish. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and would recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. Overall, my experience at Big Bad Breakfast was fantastic. The food was top-notch. read more
