Went to the Pelham location and received a big BAD breakfast. Eggs were cold. Bacon was cold. Toast was cold. Grits were cold. Coffee was warm. Waitress was attentive and pleasant.

This place is off the chain! Food, atmosphere, and the service are all top notch! They will go out of their way to accommodate just about anything you ask for. The friendliness of the employees was warming. The food was delicious. And the seating was cozy. Anna rocked out as our server. She was pleasant, fun, and overall on-point with all of our complicated needs lol. I highly recommend this place for all reasons!

This place is wonderful! The service was great, the food came out fast, and Ashley, our server, was so sweet and attentive. She took care of us from the moment we sat down and made the whole experience even better.

My husband and I love Big Bad Breakfast, it’s one of our favorite spots, and we usually treat ourselves maybe once every other month. The food is always great, and we don’t mind waiting because it’s worth it.
This morning we waited about 25–30 minutes to be seated (which we expected), and we were actually seated sooner than that, so we were happy. But once we sat down, the service completely missed the mark.
Our server came over, silently set two glasses of water on the table, didn’t say a single word or make eye contact, and immediately started chatting with the table beside us. She carried on a long personal conversation, disappeared, came back several minutes later with drinks for that same table, looked at us, and finally said, “Y’all want coffee?”
By then, we’d decided to leave. It wasn’t the wait that bothered us, it was how we were treated. A simple “Good morning, I’ll be right with you” would’ve made all the difference. Instead, we felt ignored and unwelcome, which was really disappointing.
I’m sharing this so management knows what happened. We’ve always loved Big Bad Breakfast, and we hope this was just an off day because we’d really like to keep coming back.

It was an okay place for breakfast. My spouse ordered a bloody Mary and it was so bad he could not drink it but still had to pay for it. The waitress was pleasant.

The shrimp and grits were good, the red eye gravy wasn’t exactly what was expected by one of our party and tasted a little burned. The sausage gravy was a big disappointment as it tastes like raw flour and only had the smallest amount of sausage in it. Mimosas were great as was the coffee. Also the Cajun skillet was really good. Oh! I almost forgot the pancakes! Those were the BEST!! Dip them in the blueberry sauce for the best way to eat them. I forgot to take pictures.

I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock
As always, they were great!
