“ A short wait, but the staff were on top of it. Everyone's order came out quick and accurate. The shrimp and grits were good, but everything on the table was devoured. Overall solid experience. Will eat here again. ”
“ First time eating here and it was take out. Steak and eggs with a bruleed grapefruit. Very delicious. The steak sauce was a little different but it didn’t make of break the meal. ”
“ An AMAZING breakfast!! The big bad skillet had ham and sausage and egg and onion, and then topped off with freshly shredded cheddar cheese. They cook their eggs in butter, which makes a huge difference in taste. House made bacon, jams, orange juice and biscuits were chef’s kiss! I saw a carton of Florida oranges being toted over to the juicer and couldn’t resist. Some of the best OJ ever. You could taste the fresh blueberries and blackberries in their jams. The honey was a rich local honey. You can even get their fresh squeezed OJ to go in a glass bottle. Clean friendly environment. Loved this place and will happily stop by when in Birmingham again. ”
“ If you're seeking an exceptional breakfast experience, BBB is a standout choice. From the moment you walk in, the service is impeccable. The staff is attentive, warm, and genuinely committed to ensuring a pleasant day had by all. I love their red-eye gravy—a savory, rich, and perfectly seasoned delight that sets the bar high for this Southern classic. It's so rare to see on a menu and even rarer for it to be perfect. Paired with their fluffy biscuits or savory grits, it's a dish that's both comforting and memorable. I haven't had one of their morning cocktail but they sound delightful. I can say their fresh squeezed OJ is some of the best I've ever had. However, be prepared for a bit of a splurge. The quality of the food and the top-notch service come with a price tag that's slightly higher then some breakfast cafes. Despite this, the overall experience makes it a worthwhile indulgence. For those who value excellent service and exceptional food, BBB is a must-visit. ”
“ Sunday morning with this crew was well worth it. I enjoyed my chicken and waffles with Vietnamese coffee. Hubby devoured flapjacks with a couple of eggs and veggie sausage. Food was on point and so was the wait staff. They were friendly and helpful the entire visit. Be advised: the Homewood location has limited parking. Suggestion, go on the weekend and parking won’t be a problem. ”
“ This is my 3rd location to visit and they never miss. Our server Isaac was so friendly . Our food was served promptly and was hot and delicious. I had the biscuit crumble and my husband had the big bad biscuit. ”
“ Do not go on the weekends unless you want to wait for seats and like extremely loud atmosphere. We tried on a Sunday and there was a 30 minute wait list. We were able to go back today, Monday, and there was seating readily available and it was not loud at all. There is seating downstairs and upstairs. We went upstairs and it is really nice up there. We got different dishes today since we had gone to the other Big Bad Breakfast on Hwy 280 the day prior. Again the food was delicious and the service was quick (12 PM time frame). Thanks to our server for recommending other locations we could go to see and shop. ”
“ Mya, provided amazing service. She made sure to keep checking in on us. She asked several times if we enjoyed the food and made wonderful recommendations. I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles with the local honey drizzled on top. I even had the homemade biscuits with several samples of jams. Try the peach jam! It’s AMAZING!!!! Great experience m! ”
