    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

    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.

    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.

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

    Bacon and eggs

    What a amazing breakfast experince! The Saturday morning vibes were high and service was on point! Our server was Jade and she too was a vibe as were the bartender and birthday girl Krista! She hooked that Berry Boujee martini right TF on up! The 5th star was for the drink alone. The food was good but basic and the price was a bit much for the drink but I really won't complain and will be back! Bacon wasn't consistent as friend's bacon was fried too hard she said. Soft scrambled eggs always come in pieces instead of a solid mass/lump of eggs.I also ordered a blueberry pancake and it was basic and good. Biscuits looked amazing and so did the rest of the food. Every spot doesn't have to be extra just good and BBB is good! My only drawback was the gnats that enjoyed the outing as well. As I looked down there was food in places on the floor in the booth not easily visible but unfortunate for guests.

    Good breakfast. They had great lots of good options on the menu. The service was great.

    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.

    The wait was like 45 minutes and kinda felt rushed to eat. Not bad but not somewhere I would have to revisit either.

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.
