Coffee

We were looking for a new breakfast spot to try in Memphis and I am glad we stopped here. While the appearance is upscale, the audience comes from all walks of life. The service was attentive and correct. And the food was hot, fresh and tasty. We will definitely go back.

Cathead Chicken Biscuit
Lori D.

Just yes! I love brunch & I love BBB! I've ordered delivery quite a few times & am always impressed. This was my first time dining in with family after church. The place was crowded and there was a bit of a wait, but the service was fast and friendly. Everyone LOVED their meals. I went with my usual, the cat head chicken biscuit, & per usual it did not disappoint. That gravy is nectar from the Gods. The biscuit is light and fluffy & the chicken is perfectly fried and seasoned. I also had a breakfast margarita that was to die for. If i could give 10 stars i would. If you're contemplating this location, don't. Just go.

Food was good, service exceptional. This only my second time here and it did not disappoint.

Big Bad Breakfast is one of many enjoyable breakfast spot in Memphis. The interior is clean, well lit and spacious with both breakfast and lunch options available. We were seated, and our waitress was friendly. The food was fresh and tasty, and I enjoyed my first Vietnamese coffee. Pricing depends on what you want, but you can get a filling meal for under $20.

I was in the mood for a good breakfast. This place was recommended to me! I joined the waiting list on yelp. I was 19th in line but arrived before getting a text. Since i was eating alone I was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar and placed my order! I got the shrimp and grits. I've had better shrimp and grits. The flavor just wasn't there at all! Over all service was a 10/10! I would definitely go back and try something different.

Ham & Cheese Omelette
Chris B.

Such a solid breakfast spot for what I didn't know had such a large chain of restaurants around the region. Great atmosphere that promotes a chill vibe to enjoy morning cocktails if you so choose (of course I did) and a delicious and filling breakfast. Also, the bright decor helps with the much needed morning jolt to help wake you up...if the cocktails hasn't done so already. The omelettes are hefty and delicious but it doesn't leave you feeling so heavy and sluggish afterwards. Maybe because they serve it with salad instead of the usual hashbrown or homestyle potatoes. It wasn't a bad thing since the salad was actually very enjoyable as well. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Also, this spot is in a large plaza so finding parking wasnt an issue as well.

Breakfast of champions

Awesome food took my daughter and the biscuits and gravy were great! Nice hole in the wall atmosphere with great southern charm. Be patient and it is well worth the wait.

Biscuits were way to thick and dry. Sausage gravy had no flavor. grits were ok, bacon was by far the best part. I will not go back!

From start to finish, Izzy, Samara, and their entire team delivered an experience that truly exceeded every expectation. Their professionalism and communication were outstanding throughout the entire planning process. They were proactive, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful--true problem solvers who made us feel completely supported and confident every step of the way. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely cared about making this a meaningful and memorable evening for our family and the special couple. The private room was absolutely perfect--intimate, beautifully arranged, and very easy to personalize with our own decorations. It created exactly the warm and special atmosphere we had hoped for. The menu was another highlight: a wonderful variety of options with a refined, elevated feel, all at a very reasonable price point. Every guest found something they loved, and the quality of the food was consistently impressive. Most importantly, we do not have a single complaint--only an abundance of praise. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the evening was. We are so grateful to Izzy, Samara, and the entire Bog & Barley team for helping us create such a joyful and unforgettable celebration.

Recommend the pimento cheese bread sticks for appetizer or any other time. Also, this was the first time I've had a Kilkenny draft which was another highlight. I see now it's rare to find. Smooth and creamy. If I lived nearby, I would be here more often. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth the price and experience. Just pointing it out to expect to pay, but also pointing out it was worth every cent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in its sun room with a neutral natural palette that I once indulged myself at the Rose Tavern in Canandaigua in Upstate New York. That nostalgic feeling of being in a beautiful tavern is pure delight. Absolutely beautiful restaurant, truly deserves limelight recognition in Germantown. Our darling Annalise server was extremely friendly. We loved the presentation of our dinner, but the octopus was a bit soft for our taste. I've had plenty of octopus in other cities and understand the dish is typically more expensive, but a small single mediocre tentacle is quite pricey for $28. I personally prefer a crispy and firmer chew for octopus. The scallops and shishito peppers were a delightful pairing. Valet parking shouldn't be forced upon the customer though? I felt bad that I don't carry cash to tip the valet, and valet is mandatory unless you want to park on the side streets and walk over. Do carry any cash! I wish that a portion of the parking lot was open for self parking though as those boys don't need to help out every guest who don't need valet and subjecting them to wait around for the boys to grab cars that we're perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

The front desk at the hotel recommended this spot, and I couldn't be happier with their recommendation. Cocozza sits on the far end of a strip mall, but has adequate parking in the front, and additional in the rear of the property. Visiting on a Friday evening, there was a small wait and all seats were full. However, I was able to find a vacant bar seat. Steven made a great gin martini, and fave me the rundown on the menu. I decided to start with a Caesar salad, followed by Bucatini Alla Enzo for the entree. Until today, I hadn't had the pleasure of trying bucatini, but this unique pasta might just be my new favorite. It was just the right portion of pasta with a wonderful garlic sauce accompanied by fresh mushrooms and peas. I grabbed a piece of lemon cheesecake to-go, and gave my seat to a waiting patron. As I visit Memphis often, I am really looking forward to visiting Cocozza again to try other items on the menu. Great service! Great spot! Great food.

The downside was that on the first visit, I didn't know you could sub out the "pencil points" that come with each entree. When you don't modify this, you get the points in a red sauce. Meh. The veal piccata is always my go-to on a menu and this is hands down one of my favorite piccatas I've ever had. With pasta in the garlic sauce in lieu of red-sauced pencil points... chef's kiss. The appetizers are also great and my husband raved about his. I don't remember what he ordered, but it had a salad on top that was delightful.
