My husband and I love this place. We were impressed on our first visit when the server (after we told her it was our first time here) brought us samples of their three homemade gravies and one biscuit. We were floored by the robust flavor of each of the homemade gravies. They have a tomato gravy, a sausage gravy, and a redeye gravy. The texture of the gravy was not too thick and none of them were greasy. We each ate a plate of homemade biscuits and in-house made gravy. Although the biscuits and gravy seem like a small serving, the dish is really an adequate meal. Overall, the flavor of the food and the friendliness of the staff solidified our making this restaurant our breakfast place when we visit Mobile. read more

My husband ate every bite of his breakfast and said he could eat that same thing every day! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment was clean, fresh, and had a home-like feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The front parking was sparse and tight, but there is plenty more on the side and back lot, so parking isn't an issue. It's a 5-stars for certain. read more

Definitely somewhere you are gonna want to visit more than once. Had tomato gravy on a biscuit and the Dirty Bird (minus hot sauce) Both were real good. Service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the place is amazing. Even the bathrooms![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One note: the biscuits are buttermilk and black pepper, and the tomato gravy is a little peppery.

This big bad breakfast is definitely one of the best ones in the entire portfolio. I am a stickler for over medium eggs, and they knock it out of the park every time. I can't say that about every place I go, but this one always delivers. read more

So anyone who reads my reviews know that it is a rare near impossible feat to get a happy happy joy joy comment out of me simply because most place totally suck because of service, food, or both! NOT THIS PLACE! It's actually really good!!! I even waited until we had three full visits down before I said anything just on the off shot the place secretly sucked and just got lucky the first two visits. Currently on our way for visit number four and actually excited about it. The food is amazing and so far everything we have tried is good. We have found our particular favorite server who we like to sit with - the lady who works the bar. If she's not there when we arrive I may be forced to delete this whole thing - so she can never have a weekend off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place gets crowded on weekends so either find the window (I can't share that particular secret) or bring some calm along.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great job BBB - I gotta say one of the few real winning places I have found. read more

We stumbled across this place while out looking for magic the gathering cards. What a great restaurant. And they serve cocktails! We had breakfast there. He had the biscuits and sausage gravy (they have a biscuits section on the menu! His had 3 gravy choices!) I had the shrimp, andoulle sausage, eggs, veggies, cheese dish, I forgot what it was called, but I can rave about it for days. 3 jumbo shrimp, everything in it was perfect. It's small, but has efficiently designed seating, so you have room. Service was super efficient. If you are ever near it, check it out! read more

I went there last year and had their shrimp and grits with scrambled eggs.

Good food. Worth the wait every time. And the wait isn't ever that bad. If you need a breakfast spot this is it.

Everything from prices, to the service to the delicious food was awesome! Definitely found a new favorite restaurant! It may have a wait but it's well worth it. read more

I took a day off from work and wanted to try a breakfast spot. I'm not sure what alerted me to Big Bad Breakfast but that's the place I chose. I usually do take out but since I don't live near here I decided to dine in. It took me a bit of time to find a parking spot. I eventually found a space in the front of the building. The place was packed. It took a little bit for the wait staff to get to the front to seat me. Since I was by myself I was ushered to the bar area. The wait staff suggested a breakfast margarita but I declined I was focused on the menu. I had little idea of wanted to get. I decided that since this was my first time here I would order something more traditional. The Big Bad Breakfast plate seemed perfect. It came with eggs, meat, choice of bread, and a side. I ordered scrambled eggs, mild bacon, biscuit, and grits. Now my order came back really fast. It didn't even seem like 5 minutes had passed. The food looked incredible. It tasted the same way. First off the biscuit was huge. The wait staff brought me some homemade blueberry jelly which was really good on the buttery biscuit. The bacon was cooked to perfection and it was delightful. It was a thick cut of bacon that you don't regularly have at breakfast spots. The eggs were scrambled well. The highlight of the meal was the grits. They weren't my normal grits but I enjoyed them so much. They were called The Original Grit Girl Grits, which I have no idea why. They had sort of the a sweet flavor but were so delicious. I really want to come back here. read more

Another great find thanks to Yelp!! The food was so good. I got the breakfast plate with eggs over medium, bacon and potatoes and substituted the biscuit with a pancake, along with a side of grits. My hubby got an omelette with a biscuit. The pancake was different but super good, the biscuit was light, buttery and fluffy..the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The grits were my least favorite. They had good flavor but were super thick..not creamy but I still ate them!!! I would return if I came back to Mobile. The place itself is cute. Wasn't able to check into the Yelp waitlist but wait was not very long. read more

It's busy here and there's a reason for it.. the food is genuinely DELICIOUS. So fresh, great flavors, cooked perfectly! The atmosphere is also cute and comfortable!! It's in a good location with a lil boutique next door to browse through while you wait. Be sure to anticipate a wait! I loved the BLT omelet with the fresh greens. This is a memorable meal that I will crave. Adding it to my list of restaurants that I'll always love and hope to return to when traveling! read more

Food was very good, service was lacking. The bacon had to be re-cooked after my wife explicitly told them crispy. The waitress did not check back on my drink refill, and after I stopped her and asked for a refill it never came (our waitress was not focused on cleaning tables, seating customers and going through her tickets. I eventually had to go to the counter to get a refill, and when the waitress came back by, I told she forgot my tea and she just said sorry, like oh well. read more

Food was good, I ordered the Big Bad Skillet and there was plenty of food there. The service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go back. read more

Great place for breakfast if you're in the Midtown area. I tried one of their skillets. It looks small but is deceptively deep. Rich with flavor the sausage was spicy but not too much to overpower the dish. The biscuits were a little overcooked but the homemade jam was amazing. The service was super friendly. Plenty of parking, next door to the legendary Dew Drop Inn. read more

We have visited this location for BBB several times now on different days (Mostly Sunday) and we have yet to be disappointed!! The food is very good with lots to choose from and flavor galore!! You got try their skillet breakfast. Absolutely delicious and very nice portions. The service was exceptional and the staff is very friendly. Everyone we have encountered was very knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one flaw that they seem to have is space when it gets busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall the restaurant is not that small but large crowds (like on a Sunday) can overwhelm them and can drive up wait times. Although annoying, we have always waited because the food is that good and the prices are customer friendly. We will definitely continue to make the pilgrimage over to BBB even if we have to wait sometimes. read more

Breakfast for champions. Stopped in this morning and was served by "SB", who was polite and efficient. I ordered "The Benny" and OF COURSE a cocktail. My Bloody was spicy, which I enjoyed immensely. The Benny, a perfect pocked egg that sat atop a crispy hash brown (not greasy), and ham, covered in spinach & hollandaise sauce. I left full as a tick, y'all. The facility was clean and the establishment was located under new townhomes. WTG, BBB. read more

Sunday morning, 11:20 informed 45min to an hour. We were seated within 45 minutes. The service, excellent. Our server was Jessica. Hands down very attentive and courteous. Temperature of the food was good, food expedited quickly and quality. A previous reviewer said it was iHop on steroids, I could see that perception, but this place is more modern and up to date. And definitely not the Waf Houz. We would definitely return to try other menus items. I recommend giving it a try. I asked for soft scrambled eggs and they delivered with my waffle and side of fried oysters. My wife had the BBB breakfast and substituted a pancake instead of toast. Huge! And her over medium eggs, Bam! On the money. read more

Super fun breakfast place in Mobile with delicious food! Surprised at all the sub-par ratings here. My group had a wonderful time. I had the chicken biscuit sandwich. Added a scrambled egg. Delicious. Hubby had the Benedict on a hash cake. The hash cake was sooooooo good, I almost ordered my own as a side! Friend had the fried oyster scramble and really enjoyed it.

Nice place for breakfast/brunch with inside and outside dining. There was about a 35 minute wait and it was very busy. The staff was nice, when they came by but a bit forgetful when a request was made by the time they came back. So, we had to ask a few times for syrup, butter, refills... read more

Best breakfast place I have been to! Stopped by this place on a Saturday morning before heading home. We had the Flapjacks, breakfast skillet, hash browns, and chicken and waffles. The food all had a wonderful flavor and the chicken was moist and seasoned well. We asked for their special hot sauce on the side and it was so good that we ordered bottles to take home. Plenty of food for the adults and I shared with one of my children. We will definitely go back if ever in the area! read more

This is my second time visiting and each time the food was simply "okay". This time I ordered the skillet with no potatoes. Therefore I'm supposed to be left with scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, shrimp, peppers and onions. For some reason, they left the cheese off and it was not seasoned properly for my taste. I never send food back so I ate it "as is". However, I could have made this much better at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best thing about my visit was the server Jessica and the gorgeous weather with outside seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jessica was a pure delight. Other than that, I've not been impressed either time I've visited. I would go again is suggested by a friend for brunch. But this will never be my first option again. read more

What a refreshing experience. The ambience set the tone, the bar invited you in and the food aromas wafting throughout pleasured the olfactories. The kitchen's execution was impeccable, the omelette was beautiful, hot, well balanced, especially with the goat cheese. The waffle was crispy, golden brown and shining with the maple syrup, gosh was the food good! You should visit, I'm dismayed that I just got there. read more

A very solid traditional breakfast at a decent price. The service was great and the dining room in top shape. Very clean and bright. We had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and a scramble. The scramble was good. The biscuits a bit large but good. The pancakes were good as well. The house-made greenish hot sauce was great. The team were all very positive and upbeat. Management pays attention to the entire process here! read more

First experience was great, had a smash burger. Eight months later, was in the area & decided to pop in for a smash burger again... BBB really went downhill. There was absolutely nothing "smash" about the burger, it was basically just a well-done patty. Not thin & pressed, no caramelization, nothing that makes a smash burger a smash burger. Also, it looked like it was thrown together by a toddler. Pickles all on one side, tomato sliding off, haphazard lettuce, dollop of sauce just thrown at it, and two overly burnt thin slices of bacon. I actually had to take it apart & rebuild it just so I could attempt to eat it the way burgers are meant to be enjoyed. Ate half & was over it, the struggle was not worth it. Apparently BBB thinks it's worth it though. Between the burger & a mimosa with entirely WAY too much orange juice, the bill was $30. THIRTY DOLLARS (before tip) for a bullsh*t burger and some oj with a splash of tap Prosecco? They could take a lesson from the Hammered Cow on how smash burgers should be done & also get a bartender who knows how to make drinks. read more
