Such a fun and cute breakfast place. We weren't planning on eating breakfast before our college tour but the reviews looked so good! Very charming and fun inside! Decent menu with a lot choices. I had the oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries and whip cream. I had very few strawberries on it and a dollop of whip cream (which I was fine with) but it was more a garnish. Side of fruit was melon and grapes. My husband got the Secret History Omelet, a flavorful omelet with Swiss cheese, shallots, tomatoes and seasonal herbs, served with a biscuit. My daughter enjoyed the Big Bad Breakfast Plate with bacon, eggs, toast and hash brown cakes. Very good breakfast place. read more

Forget Denny's Grand Slam--Triple Bs for the home run! A classic diner with a hometown touch and feel. Popular and for good reason. I had the Oxtail speciality breaksfast. It was greasy, fatty, on the bone bowe, and oozing with dense meaty flavor. Over cheesy grits and with a fried egg and the fuse for the bomb of Southern goodness was lit. The staff is diligent and hard working. The prices are reasonable ($15-25 with a kids menu) in this inflationary world. A true taste of Americana! read more

Went to BBB for breakfast on a Saturday and the service and food was great. Our server, Ansley, was sweet and very accommodating. I ordered the Irish coffee with added vanilla syrup and, the shrimp fried rice bowl and both of them were delicious. The rice bowl was so good, I ate the whole thing. I also ordered a side of the bacon, which was also great. I definitely would be back! read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Today was a gorgeous day! We opted to sit outside due to COVID, however everyone is following proper precautions, with the hostess stand placed outside as you walk up. I had the cat head chicken biscuit and it was soooo good! Like i was pleasantly surprised at the awesome taste of the chicken, the biscuit was light and fluffy, and the gravy was the perfect touch. My sister enjoyed some type of scramble that was also extremely tasty. A couple of delicious fresh mimosas to wash it down and this place was a complete treat! They do southern brunch right!! 10/10 recommend read more

When Oxford big bad breakfast is a must... not only is it a local favorite but everyone who comes to town will not be disappointed. Homemade diner type food don't pass up the special thick Tabasco bacon they have ! read more

This place has more than earned my repeated business. Visiting our student from out of town, we had a dog with us. They went above and beyond to make outside accommodations for us so that we could have one more meal as a family this trip. Their staff was a pleasant and courteous. They made sure we were welcomed and taken care of. They never made it seem like we were a bother. I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention the food. The breakfast was served quickly and hot. Lots of choices and something for everyone. Everything had great flavor. Thanks again. We will be back. read more

Came here on May 12th with a party of seven and it was terrible with poor service, bland food, and just overall bad communication. My party got into the reservation que at 9 AM and we were told that it would be 45 minutes before we could get a seat. After arriving there around 9:35 we were told it would be a longer wait. Instead of being sat down around 9:45-10 we had to wait till 11 to even be seated inside. After being sat down, we had a waitress come over with drinks and everything was set up to be fine. However, our food took 45+ minutes to be served. Throughout our wait for food our waitress didn't provide refills and was very impatient and irritable when we did ask for refills. Once we received our food we were throughly disappointed as the food was bland and unremarkable. The restaurant was cute and had an okay atmosphere but the bland food, bad service, and outrageous wait times make this restaurant a no go for me and my family. read more

It's a popular place, so pack your patience, but everything was good about BBB in Oxford. We have a small reunion every year and eat here.

The chicken biscuit was amazing! So was the biscuit gravy Benedict! Definitely worth the stop.

Cancelled our online checkin twice before we were supposed to arrive for checkin. Still arrived early and waited longer to be seated. Not overly busy. Waited 10 minutes to place order. Waited 25 minutes for food. Food had hair in it. Server was never to be found. Only comped 1 of 3 meals. If my daughter was choosing a school based on solely on a breakfast spot, Ole Miss would be last on her list. This place is just not good from management to service to food. Embarrassing. read more

Delicious food and excellent service; the iced coffee is out of this world (coming from me, someone that never drinks iced coffee).

Great breakfast. Love the bowls. The biscuits are incredible. Only complaint is their bacon is spicy but that is my personal preference. I like that if there is a wait list when you get there they text you when your table is ready. read more

Great food but poor customer service. The food was worth the wait but the service was not. read more

My wife at 66 years old said her omelet was the best she ever had in her life. The Big Bad Breakfast was also great!

I have never been treated the way the hostess treated me here. I walked in and tried to clarify that she was the hostess as the host station. was in the doorway. She said yes and left. When she came back she just ignored me and took care of the next person. Then she went to the next person. When I pointed out that I was there she pointe to the end of the line and told me to go there. I left but came back and asked to speak to a manager. When I explained what had happened to the manager she had no response. Silence. And there is really no explanation for what the hostess did. Unless it was age discrimination. I'm 72 and maybe she doesn't like older people? I dont know but I do know it was humiliating. So, I recommend staying away from this location. Oh, and this was not my first time here. I have been here a number of times. Every time I have been here the food is worse than before. They are living on a reputation they earned a long time ago but really no longer live up to. This experience just solidified how bad they have become. It is a shame they put that "Big Bad" name on their business. Larry Brown was a great writer. Also, he was my age. And to think this hostess would likely ignore him if he could somehow come back. read more

Awful service. Waited forever to be seated and was constantly ignored with staff making things very difficult. Then was finally seated and no waitress was assigned to us for over 10 minutes until after I questioned them. read more

Use Open Table to book your table. They do NOT use Yelp any more. Food is great as is the service.

Cute diner and my husband truly enjoyed his food. I ordered the breakfast gumbo and it had a great taste but the rice was undercooked and crunchy. Husband loved his hash browns and chili omelet. We will be back when we visit. read more

I returned to the great University of Mississippi for my beloved Black Alumni Reunion. I was very determined to revisit BBB as I've only visited it once before prior to graduating. Well the great taste I had in my memory could not compete with the experience I had this weekend. First, they have mimosas now! I don't recall them having that before but I'm glad they do now! I actually ordered both of their coffee drinks with the rum & whiskey in it. It was soo good & satisfying! I actually visited twice during my stay because of how good my experience was! My omelette was delicious and very fulfilling! The cheese grits are the best ever! Like everything I've had here has been soo good. It's that welcome home kind of breakfast! It's a small place but everyone is friendly. It's like eating breakfast with your big family. BBB is the epitome of a Mississippi Southern-style Soulfood meal! read more

My first time in Oxford and we had breakfast here, the grits are the best I've ever had! I dream about them and I'm so excited for my visit in two weeks. read more

Still doesn't disappoint. This was the second time I came here two years later and still delicious. Popular and had to wait 30 minutes. Came with family who ordered the chocolate chip pancakes but I think the waitress missed it because there were no chocolate chips but we weren't charged so all is good. My sister got the breakfast crumble which was yummy. I got the shrimp and grits. Eggs were cooked perfectly, shrimp was also done perfectly. The sauce brought everything together and the grits were a little cheesy. All in all a great shrimp and grits. read more

Amazing food and service, went 2 days in a row. We can't wait to come back to Oxford and come back here.

The best bacon I have ever had in my life. I have become an Ole Miss fan simply to get back to that bacon.

Serve your food cooked and not cold. Bacon was raw. Then brought it out deep fried. Three of us and every meal was cold. Poached eggs cooks solid. Been to other BBB and they were much better. But for the flagship, the Oxford location blew. read more

The food is great. Best skillet I have ever had. The wait can be a bit, so get on the list early.

Great food, great service, great experience. First time visitors. We be back next time we were in town.

Make a reservation online if you can so you don't have to sit in the parking lot or outside, other than that I could eat here everyday!!! Never had anything I didn't like!!! read more

Classic Oxford breakfast - usually a wait to get in but worth the wait to get some classic southern food. Efficient service and down home southern diner ambiance. read more

I highly recommend BBB! We had already heard that it was "the place" for breakfast/brunch, so we were excited to check it out! When I walked in the door I already could feel we were in the right place! Friendly staff, fun decor, good music. We started off with a cup of coffee and some water! The coffee was great! I drink coffee black so I'm kind of picky about the taste! It had a wonderful flavor! We had heard great things about the mimosas so why not?? Fresh orange juice and champagne. What more to love? So yummy! Our food: I order the creole omelet and holy moly! It was beyond fantastic! I wasn't sure about the tomato gravy but it's perfect! All the flavors come together in a fantastic dish! We also ordered the huevos rancheros and one of the hash dishes! My friends gave it a two thumbs up! We will for sure be back! Great job BBB! read more

Have friends that have tried a few times to get into this well desired breakfast spot. We lucked pit on an early Thursday morning. Lots to choose from. We had scrambled eggs and steak, big bad breakfast, French omellete with guyere cheese and an egg skillet. Some of the best biscuits and jelly we ever had to. The food was hot, fast and plentiful. Our server was attentive and pleasant. Enjoy! read more

I have been here multiple times and the service and food is always good. However I came in around 1:15 with three other people and the waitress Jessy was not very good at all. Anytime we wanted something I had to wave her down even if it was to fill our water. To add on to this we didn't get our food for 50 mins. Jessy said the kitchen was backed up however people who came in probably like 20 mins after us were somehow getting their food. I understand if there was a problem but Jessy didn't apologize or say anything about our food. Once we got our food one of our plates were cold. I asked if we could get it off the bill rather than taking it back because we didn't want to wait any longer and Jessy didn't even apologize for this either. She completely avoided our table the whole entire time as she helped and refilled peoples drinks around us. read more
