I visited Big Bad Breakfast Middletown on Father's Day with my family. The place was very busy, so I guess many people choose here for special occasions. Our server was super friendly and explained the menu very well. I really appreciated that. The only small problem was that my Biscuit Sandwich didn't come out until my family almost finished their food. When I told them at the checkout, they checked right away and brought the sandwich, and also removed it from the bill. I thought that was very nice and professional. The inside of the restaurant was clean and had a good atmosphere. Overall, even with the small mistake, we had a great experience and I would come back again. read more

Food was just ok. Prices were high & the service was just ok too. Overall I was disappointed

Really fabulous breakfast with so many options it was hard to decide what to eat. Also, we went around 10:30 AM and could have had lunch items too! Wow, I was impressed. Not too busy that we had to wait, we had a booth fairly quickly. Service was spot on, our waitperson, Ashleigh, was super cool and friendly. I had The Screamin Demon, which is a fried chicken sandwich, it was really good. Perfect amount of spice, not hot at all in my opinion. My husband had the Big Bad Hot Brown because it's a local thing to order and he really liked it. Lots of food. Our friend had the Creole Omlette and she said it was really good. Large pieces of shrimp and a nicely seasoned sauce. I enjoyed our visit, and will return to any location I manage to stumble upon. Highly recommend visiting one near you. read more

We visited BBB on a Saturday morning and the place was hopping! We were quickly seated and I asked the waitress for some recommendations. She highlighted some of the popular menu items, and, in the end, we placed an order for one breakfast burrito and three breakfast platters. Our food arrived pretty quickly. I was so looking forward to some sausage gravy and theirs was pretty good, although I would have loved for it to have been served a little hotter. My eggs, sausage, and potato cakes were all very good and my dining companions also enjoyed their meals. My husband, who judges his breakfast by how good the bacon is, was very pleased. The only drawback was that it was a bit loud inside, but I guess anytime you have that many people in one room it gets a little loud. All in all, we had a great experience and would recommend BBB to others looking for a good place for brunch. read more

Yes, I certainly recommend Big Bad Breakfast! We went today for brunch after church and we had such a great time. Our server was Nicole and she was so enthusiastic and delightful. The restaurant is very large and bright. There's even a small fireplace surrounded by a counter that is unexpectedly cozy. BBB has a 2 sided menu that is loaded with so many items, it almost took me forever to decide. I chose to order the Big Bad Skillet, Three eggs, scrambled, Big Bad bacon, Big Bad sausage, ham, onions, potatoes and cheddar cheese. Served with toast or biscuit. You can have them make any changes to it that you'd like. I had them cut the onions and put the ground sausage on the side and gave it to my husband, that loves sausage. He chose a Belgian Waffle that came with Whipped Cream, Strawberries & Blueberries. He also chose 3 Strips of Mild Bacon. We didn't have a very long wait. Nicole had also told me that my meal came with a side, a biscuit, wheat toast and white toast. She talked me into the big biscuit. It came with whipped butter and my choice of jellies. I chose peach! The biscuit was BIG, and it was called a Pepper Biscuit. I'm not a fan of pepper, but the BBB's pepper Biscuit was really good. We had a delicious time! Our server, Nicole was great. Their hours are 7:00am to 2:30 pm. read more

I had two very different experiences here within just a few days. On Thursday, I took my mom for breakfast, and everything was wonderful. The service was friendly and attentive, and our food was fresh and delicious. Based on that visit, I couldn't wait to come back. Unfortunately, when I returned on Saturday for an early afternoon brunch with my dad, it was a completely different experience. The music was so loud that it made it difficult to have a conversation. Our breakfast skillet arrived with a pool of water in the bottom, which I assume came from the vegetables. It made the entire dish soggy and unappetizing. The service also took a noticeable turn for the worse. The waitress returned shortly after we got our food, but that was it. She never came back to refill waters or coffees. The restaurant was staffed by what appeared to be mostly younger employees, and although the restaurant still had about an hour before closing, it felt like they were already shutting down. Tables weren't being cleared, and the lack of attentiveness was obvious. In fact, the family seated next to us waited so long without anyone acknowledging them that they eventually got up and left. It's disappointing because my first visit showed how good this restaurant can be. I hope management addresses the inconsistencies in both the kitchen and the service, because the potential is definitely there. read more

Food, Service... and Food... did say the food is good... Yea.. use the "Wait List" in Yelp... it will save you some wait time and it is rather accurate. Also, try a KY Coffee, it was rather good. read more

Bloody Mary was decent, I like the menu and the speed of service. Food always comes out hot and tasty. You should make reservations if you have a party larger than 3. Parking in the lot if some what limited so you may need to park on street and travel over. Portions are also reasonable. read more

We keep coming back, and every visit reminds us why. One of our favorite things is trying something new from the menu each time, and so far every dish has been a hit. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the food, and we've never been disappointed. Great flavors, great quality, and plenty of reasons to keep returning. Highly recommended! read more

Big Bad Breakfast is a must-visit for breakfast lovers! I've tried the other two locations in Louisville and have enjoyed them as well. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff ready to serve up some seriously delicious food. I love how you can use the Yelp app to get on the wait list. One of the reasons we went to BBB. I had the pancakes, and they were light and fluffy with an amazing syrup. If you're a brunch enthusiast or just love a solid Southern-style breakfast, this place is for you! Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Inside is very cute! Nice ambiance and decorations Waitress was quick and very nice, attentive to filling waters. Food came out very quickly and loved my biscuit bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Would come back again! read more

Great breakfast and brunch spot in Louisville. They have several locations too! The fruit on the waffle was super fresh and the biscuits had a great taste. The omelet was a big portion! Definitely enough to split with someone and maybe get a waffle! The steak n eggs were a hit and of course we had to get a bruleed grapefruit on the side! Our server was super sweet and recommended several things and brought us different jams to taste. The inside is decorated super cute with the led sign too! read more

BBB is your classic breakfast spot with a good selection and crowded on the weekends. The service was friendly and the food was solid. Quality fresh squeezed OJ and the biscuit which is a part of many dishes was good, but nothing special. The huevos was unique as grits were added in and were a good breakfast option outside of the classic. The creole omelet with tomato gravy was filling and the seafood was fresh and well seasoned. read more

Our first brunch at the new location of BBB. Welcome to Middletown! I used Yelp to get on the waiting list and at 12:30p there wasn't an issue to walk in without it. I appreciated being seated at a booth per my waiting list request. My teen got the chicken and waffles - delicious! They have a bit of a kick to them so keep your water glass filled. The sausage biscuits and gravy was perfect and not spicy. I added an egg and split this with my teen, while also ordering an egg and biscuit sandwich. It comes with cheese. My bacon was $3.50 which wasn't worth the up charge. Coffee is basic and worth it when you need the kick. Our only issue with today's experience was the service and it was specific to our server. She went MIA after taking our order. Thankfully other team members filled in for her with delivering our food and bringing us more coffee and water (although I had to walk up to the bar for help). I watched all of her tables looking for her to request service, from paying their bill to getting other items and drinks. It was disappointing to leave a gratuity for her rather than another server. Several tables inside. If you visited Zeggz in the past, it's the same layout but fun artwork. Where do I get a copy of Mona Lisa drinking her coffee?! We will be back and I'm confident with another server it'll be a 5-star hotel experience. The parking lot is a bit of a challenge but the pizza place next to it doesn't open until BBB closes. read more

We recently had a wonderful breakfast at this location in Middletown. We arrived at a busy time and had about a 20 minute wait. Next time I will join the waitlist before arriving. We ordered biscuits and sausage gravy, Brulé grapefruit, French toast and scrambled eggs. Everything was really good! Our server Ty was so friendly and helpful and guiding us in our decisions. I'll look forward to another great breakfast in the near future! read more

So Big Bad Breakfast was a mixed bag. I had the Vietnamese coffee, breakfast platter with eggs over medium, spicy bacon, a biscuit, and a side of sausage gravy. Let's start with what was good. The biscuit was delicious. Would recommend. Side of strawberry and blackberry jams. Yum. The sign in the bathroom for a 5 star deuce, funny but doesn't match the restraint vibes. Sitting at the Bar our server Emily worked her butt off. She was doing 5x the job of everyone else and still managed to make sure we had personalized service. Now to what could improve: The restaurant needs to do something to make the working experience of their staff particularly behind the bar better. The counters are way too high and makes the workers have to work constantly with their arms raised to make drink or serve. There are not pads or anything to ease the stress of someone who will be in their feet constantly. An ergonomic nightmare. They need to invest in raising the area on a platform or something to make the job easier. At minimum invest in some working pads. Viet Coffee was was overly sweet and poured from a large premade batch. Simple enough to make each of those individually. Eggs cooked closer to over easy but that's fairly common mistake. The bacon was hot but so crispy it's like it was cooked a long time ago and kept under a warmer. Consistency was that of very crunchy dry bacon bits. No real spiciness to speak of. The gravy was just missing something, maybe more pepper, I don't know. It didn't hit. read more

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to enjoy my visit. I arrived too late and my husband left before I could arrive. It was Mother's Day so of course they were packed. But I do plan to return. I'm interested in trying their biscuits. Sometimes the biscuits aren't as good at the other BBB. I was quite impressed that when I arrived to our names on the list, the hostess remembered exactly who my husband was and what happened. She got our names added back to the list. read more

First of all my husband ordered 2 different items that they didn't have. He went to restroom NO toilet paper or paper towels - while 3 people stood at bar (one of which we later found out was the manager) There were maybe 10 tables of folks, so not busy for 9 am but still took 25 mins to get our breakfast. Then the bacon and eggs were cold, the biscuit was hard & the gravy had a film over it. The pancake was supposed to be blueberry but server brought out blueberry jam, since they didn't have blueberries. We asked to speak to a manager, paid bill and left. She tried to give us the $ back but he told her to give it to the server, she didn't deserve not to get it. So, we went down the street to DQ and it was hot, fresh and delicious- and 1/3 of the price!!! We won't be back and will tell our friends to just go to Middletown DQ! read more

We had a wonderful brunch over the weekend! This was our first time at this location and we will for sure be back. The staff were friendly and our service was great, they really took care of us! We waited about 15-20 mins, there just wasn't a ton of room to wait but other than that it was great! My food was delicious and the mimosa really hit the spot read more

We stopped for breakfast Saturday morning, hot tip: I learned from a yelp review, sign up on the wait list before you arrive. Saved us from a 25 minute wait. Although we ended up grabbing a couple of seats at the bar. Food was great, both the Creole omelette with tomato gravy and the Jack Benny which is their version of eggs Benedict. Kathy had the espresso martini and loved it. The bartender was friendly and trying to keep up but the place was very busy, she was having trouble keeping up with the crowd. The place is still new... working through some growing pains on proper amount of staffing. We definitely will visit again. read more

Killer breakfast in Saturday morning at Big Bad Breakfast! Sydney served us with a smile and perfect amount of attention! It was our first time here. The biscuits and gravy by are amazing! The gravy was thick and flavorful but not so thick you had to chew on it. The breakfast wrap that I got gangster style was good. It had an interesting flavor to it that I couldn't quite pick out that isn't my taste so I probably won't have that again, but it wasn't a bad wrap/burrito at all . My friend had the creole omelette and loved it and the breakfast potatoes that it came with it were delicious because I grabbed a fork to stick a couple bites in my mouth. The coffee was good and hearty, and the mimosa was perfection. Great start to any day. Can't wait to back and try some of those Eggs Benedict offerings!! read more

First the good: Great decor, love the wall of famous locals, clean place and we were seated quickly. Now the not-good: Server was high, yes I do mean high.. coffee was mediocre, fries and sandwich were cold and greasy, daughter ordered chix biscuit and it was a cold chix strip on a biscuit with a piece of processed cheese on top. No manager on the floor We both left with upset stomachs!! Definitely not close to First Watch quality which is where we will go from now on. read more

Food and service is always amazing! We sat by the fire place and it gave us very cozy vibes. The breakfast dude is my favorite beverage.

I had the 2 eggs over easy with chicken sausage. Both were cooked perfectly.A side order of avacado was delicious. Service was friendly and helpful, we didn't realize it was her second day. You would never have known it, seemed like a seasoned server! We had many 2nd and 3rd pours of coffee. Friendly atmosphere and very clean. read more

Excellent food and great atmosphere. I haven't had anything that I don't like yet and the servers are excellent.

First of all, let me say that the food and service were great. That being said, one thing about my experience stuck in my craw. I don't think I'm being picky either. I ordered breakfast and, according to the server, it included "two pieces" of toast. Technically, that was true, but it was one slice of bread cut into two pieces! To me, that's incredibly cheap of BBB. I think I'm accurate in saying that, traditionally, an order of toast is two slices. At least that's my experience. If they cut a slice of toast twice, they could call it "four pieces," or cut each of those pieces twice and they could say they were serving "sixteen pieces." Of course, that would be ridiculous, and that's my point. If you buy bread in the store, the average price of a slice is 15 cents. I'm sure a restaurant like this pays even less. Seriously? 15 cents? read more

I liked that you could get on the waitlist ahead of time. Pancakes were ok but nothing special. Ham and cheese omelet was ok but the cheese was a weird texture. Service was a little slow. Usually I don't mind music but playing that type and at that volume was a bit much for a Saturday morning. Overall I would say average. I think they had Coke products. read more

The food was amazing, portions were perfect, service was quick and caring, and everyone seemed to be having a great time!

Wasn't impressed with food. Service ok. Won't be going back. Atmosphere ok. Don't ask for more "extras " you will be charged.

I was so excited to try BBB and have it in Middletown. I went on a Sunday and there was about a 40 minute wait. Totally fine and not unexpected but when I saw lots of empty tables I knew service was the issue. The good - interesting and appealing menu. I got the Jack Benny with a side of grits. The food was delicious! Everything had great flavor. We shared a cinnamon roll for the table and it was also very gooey and good. Unfortunately, and like others have mentioned, service was pretty bad. Our server was rude and seemed surprised to be busy on a Sunday...at 11 am...at a breakfast place. She was nowhere to be found, never asked if we needed anything, nothing once she took our order. I totally understand getting good staff can be challenging. And they are new so still finding footing there. But rudeness and lack of attention is not understandable. I am willing to give them another chance since the food was really good but they've got to get it together with service. read more
