One of the best dining experiences in Nashville. The chicken biscuit is just superb, but the pancakes are simply amazing read more

Food - 4.5 - The burrito "gangster style" was phenomenal and super filling. The grits were also flavorful. The only thing that would drive it to a 5 would be better hot sauce Service - 5 - I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and supportive in my menu decision making Vibes - 5 - chill and environment Push to improve: change the mop water or cleaning rag water near the bar. There's an odor that lingers read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Nashville - Burrito Grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

If you want a breakfast spot that actually feels like a good morning -- warm atmosphere, genuinely attentive service, and real fresh-squeezed orange juice (not the from-concentrate kind) -- Big Bad Breakfast is it. Everything tastes intentional: hot, fresh, and seasoned the way breakfast should be, not rushed or greasy. Portions are generous without feeling heavy and the menu has enough variety to satisfy both the sweet-breakfast and savory-breakfast people at the table. It's the kind of place where you sit down "just to eat" and end up lingering. Comforting, consistent, and worth waking up for. read more

We stopped into Big Bad Breakfast for a late morning meal. We were immediately taken to our booth, both of us noting the cool and comfortable ambiance. Amanda, our server, arrived with a 5 star smile and was back with coffee in about a minute ( and it was good coffee). We ordered a veggie omelet and breakfast skillet. My omelette veggies were delicious, the egg could have been a bit more substancial. My husband said the skillet was tasty and he wished the portion had been larger. I also ordered a bruleed grapefruit- which could have been excellent if the sections had been cut or it was served with a grapefruit spoon... instead I mangled it ... I'll try mimicking it for a Christmas brunch. Anyway, we'll be back when we're in the area!! With the small observations noted we highly recommend! read more

A bit loud for my taste but the food is great so it's doable. Service can be busy but again the choice of food is great so it evens out the service. I have tried most of the menu and have not found any disappointment. Parking can be a hassle, if you can park across the street. read more

I was greeted at the door. No wait. The restaurant was clean except for the bathroom. I love the murals throughout the restaurant. Our server was great. The food was hot and fresh. The potatoes could've been a little more seasoned but it didnt take down my rating. From the fresh orange juice to the red velvet waffle. Everything was chef's kiss. read more

10/10 absolutely amazing. My server Addie was so friendly, fast and attentive. Was seated in a sunny spot immediately. The fresh OJ is heavenly and no doubt it is fresh squeezed haha. I had the Huevos Rancheros Grits and wow wow wow it was impressively tasty. Never had something like that before. Latte was super tasty as well. Honestly not a single complaint and will have to stop back in soon! Thanks read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Nashville - Biscuit & Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This was my first time having breakfast at BBB in years & my first time at the Nashville location. It was as good as I remembered. We got our food to go, and the servers that helped were great. They waited until I picked up the food to make the coffee to my liking. Parking is a challenge as the lot is small. Love: Service (kind, attentive); biscuit sandwich (brown, crispy, fluffy biscuit); breakfast plate (classic in the best way, good grits & bread); old school wrap (nice portion) read more

0 Star. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Server seemed confused where to sit my fiancé and I eventhough there were multiple open tables it took a couple attempts for her to take us to a spot....following this we waited 20 minutes and did not get approached by a single server. Servers tended the tables all around us multiple times, refilling waters, bussing finished meals, etc. Felt like we were invisible so we left. Go somewhere else. read more

The first thing you should know is that this place was stated by & the head chef is a James Beard awarded master!!! Having said that, the food is mind blowing! Everything we got was FANTASTIC!!!! The service was top shelf as well! Our server was so attentive and always near by. She was quick to govern recommendations, and quick to give us space ;) As if that weren't enough, the decor is super funky and cool. I have NOTHING bad to say! Not a single negative word! You should check this place out!! read more

Really easy review to write. 5 star experience. I was in and out quickly. Server showed great attention to me. The menu was easy to navigate. I chose the Big Bad Skillet and it was a great choice packed with calories. Biscuit was nice soft. Plenty of people were in the location but noise was not much of a problem. Always a good experience when i dine here. read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Nashville - Skillet breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A Charming Brunch Gem in Richmond After a morning stroll through the Richmond Farmers Market, my husband and I discovered this delightful spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The café was bustling with energy -- clearly a local favorite -- and though there was a short wait, it proved well worth it. I enjoyed a classic plate of roasted turkey and eggs, complemented by freshly baked biscuits that were simply divine. My husband opted for the Denver omelet, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The coffee was rich and well-balanced, and for those looking to linger a little longer, the menu also features mimosas and a tempting selection of specialty drinks. A charming detail not to be missed: the shelves behind the bar are lined with cookbooks, adding a warm, personal touch to the space. With its inviting atmosphere and thoughtfully crafted dishes, this is the perfect place to gather with friends or family. Truly a delicious find in the heart of Richmond. read more

I stopped here on my way to Knoxville and our service was AMAZING, we had a guy assisting us! The food was greatttt ( tasty and well seasoned with their house sauce) my pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The music was on point... we were dancing all the time The food did took longer than the expected but he was nice enough to let us know and make sure we didn't need anything else ( of course he received 50% tip of the tab ) will be back read more

We came to big bad breakfast on a Thursday morning and there was a good crowd there! Our service was so fast and our server was very attentive! The cinnamon roll speaks for itself- you need to get it when you come! Our breakfast was great, the chicken sausage was amazing and the crispy hash cake is unique and delicious! I definitely recommend getting a side of gravy with the breakfast plate- you will not regret it. Would definitely come back! read more

Food was not good at all. Second time coming and biscuits were hard again. Service was also slow. No one was at host stand for seating. Others just standing around at the kitchen area. Obviously food was cooked early and has been sitting. For the price I would rather just go to Cracker Barrel. Pancakes were big but flavorless. Maybe made with water and the syrup tasted like it was from the dollar store. My "americano" - well they don't k ow how to make real coffee. I should've known when I saw the grounds floating Friends - don't waste your time or money. And the community jelly? How long has that stuff been sitting there. No sir! read more

I was here in early 2020 and it was great. Five years later, still great food. We went on a Saturday morning. The place was packed. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long for a table. Once seated, we were promptly waited on. We ordered a couple of Bloody Mary's, coffee and water. The Bloody Mary's ($10 each) were really good. Coffee and water were refilled frequently by our friendly waitress. For breakfast, I ordered the creole omelet. While I could have used more creole sauce, it was filled generously with shrimp, andouille sausage and vegetables. The greens accompanying the omelet were refreshing. One of my dining partners loved her chicken and waffles. She said the honey glaze on the chicken was good enough to not need syrup on the waffle. My other dining partners loved their skillets; but felt they could have been a little more generous in size. Expect parking to be at a premium. Expect it to be kind of noisy. Expect to wait to be seated. Then, expect to have a very good breakfast! read more

Love the menu and the coffee is the best. Today's visit was not as good as previous meals but I will be back.

We got in fast, despite it being a Saturday morning. Despite it being busy the server was friendly and attentive, coffee was served quickly and our order was taken. Although there wear plenty of espresso drink options, the coffee stood its own. The grits were fluffy and flavorful and I would definitely order them again, regardless of what I choose as my main dish. The chicken and waffles were amazing! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and just the right amount of spiciness. Generous portions, and everything was piping hot when served. The waffles were really good, distinct waffle favor- not just pancake mix like other places. They were perfectly cooked and perfect combination with the fried chicken. Kudos to the kitchen staff! I could see them making another batch of the biscuits, I'd like to try them next time. There were large groups, and smaller tables closer to the bar where one could dine solo or if you wanted to come in for a quick bite. Lots of great drink options- from fresh squeezed OJ to bloody Mary's. I can't wait to be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Great breakfast spot! This is one of many BBBs in the country. Lots of delicious food options. Ari was our server and she made amazing lattes! I got the biscuit and egg sandwich, and the crew had many other yummy plates. The ambiance was chill and we got to sit at the high top for our large group of 6. - DJ DEZZEE read more

Cool vibes, good food, good service. With Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash roosters adorning the wall to the kitchen you have to know you are in Nashville and that the music will be good. Chicken and waffles were amazing. Chicken was hot and fresh cooked and well seasoned. Real chicken breast here. The waffle was very light and fluffy and the honey on top was the perfect enhancement. We will be back. read more

We love BBB. We frequent the Franklin location, have been to other locations out of state and come to the Nashville location when around. We end up disappointed each time we visit the Nashville location. At our most recent visit, we stood for several minutes (maybe close to 10!) as the line grew and went out the door while employees were standing around conversing with one another. After being seated, service was just ok- as it is every time. Sat around awhile, went without refills, didn't see our server until meals were finished. Honestly, we feel like bad service is prevalent here. We come back because we like BBB's food, which is never an issue at this location, but if I didn't like the food, I would never come to this location again. I vote yes to and recommend BBB a lot but I have started to state "but maybe not the Nashville location!" and hate that! Wish service would get better here!! read more

The food was amazing. I had the Low Country Skillet and added mushrooms with wheat toast. They had a peach jam which was so good. My drink was a Vietnamese cold brew and it tasted delicious. Our server was very diligent and worked well as the brunch rush picked up. Overall it has a great atmosphere and food but the parking was terrible. Not a lot of spaces so plan accordingly. read more

We arrived just before a Sunday morning rush of people. We had no wait to get seated. I ordered the Make it a Dirty Bird Mother of all Biscuits and a fresh squeezed OJ. The biscuit was light and flaky with a juicy piece of chicken breast topped with cheddar cheese, bacon and honey. I got the Jc's hot sauce in the side for dipping. My wife had the Huevos Rancheros Grit Bowl. We both agreed that it was delicious. We were in and out in an hour or less. The service was friendly and quick and the food was excellent. read more

Food is always good and flavorful. I have many options from the menu and have never been disappointed. Service is fast and friendly.

Probably the worst breakfast I've ever had. Ordered the ham and cheese omelette with a side of hash browns, and coffee. Everything was pretty bad. I definitely won't be back. read more

When they first opened I had the greatest breakfast. Recently they seem to have gone hill a bit with the quality of the food, cook of the food, and just today I found a hair in my pancake but did not complain just disappointed. Whenever I would aske for eggs over medium I would get even the "white" jiggling and this happened time and time again. I typically eat at the bar which has a great staff and they themselves don't know why they can not cook eggs to order. Very frustrating. But I think the hair in my pancake did it for me today. Need a cleaner kitchen and better cooks. read more

First time visiting this establishment based on the recommendation from locals. Enjoyed our experience and the food so much that we returned the next day! First day our server was Corneshia. She has a warm personality, was attentive and patient will all of our requests. Give her a raise! The second day our server was Kevin. He was meh. Almost the complete opposite of Dez (overall customer experience and personality). We ate the same thing both times. Shrimp bowl with andouille sausage (low county skillet) and wheat toast. Eggs, bacon and pancake (BBB plate). The peach jelly was delish! I appreciate Dez finding brown sugar for my coffee. Ended up with cinnamon instead of sugar on day two . We will def return the next time we're in the area and will ask for Dez! Plenty of inside and outside seating. Have outside heaters. Bathrooms were clean. Venue was packed on New Year's Day, but noise level was not loud. read more

I'm telling you, it would have got a 5 star if it wasn't for the grits. Not very good. But the BLT Omelette with fries, and the Flapjacks(which I took to go) were very tasty. Service was fantastic, and the vibe was great. Those grits kept it from a 5. But everything else was great! read more
