This place was loud and busy! We got sat really fast and waited for drinks. Hot coffee was good! I ordered the breakfast plate and had a lot of food! Scrambled eggs, grits (they’re spicy), bacon and a big biscuit.
The food was great. I just wish I would have been offered some butter or honey. Then, we didn’t see our server again until we were done and ready to go. I could see that he was super busy.

Big Bad Breakfast in Birmingham is a must-visit for anyone serious about breakfast. The menu is hearty, inventive, and unapologetically Southern, offering everything from fluffy biscuits and crispy bacon to decadent pancakes and savory egg dishes. Each plate is generously portioned, ensuring you leave full and satisfied. Signature items like the “Pimento Cheese Omelet” or biscuit sandwiches stand out for their bold flavors and quality ingredients.

The atmosphere...

I feel like Norm from Cheers every time I walk through the door. Each of the staff members are friendly and engaging and will make you feel right at home! Behind the bar, Ashley has the most fitting personality and is on point with drinks and a good laugh with guests. Menu offerings are consistently good-comforting and delicious. Definitely my go-to for breakfast and lunch on the weekends!
