Big Bad Breakfast - Charleston - Blueberry stack with sausage link - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

My 2nd time coming and the customer service is friendly and welcoming. Greetedto counterLast time I got pancakes, eggs, and bacon. It was good. Today I ordered the Lean Breakfast- egg whites, fruit bowl, chicken sausage (tasty w/ a slight bit of heat), and toast. It was good. I sat out on the patio on an un-busy and un-bothered Friday morning. They're usually busier, but I came after breakfast and before lunch. The restaurant is beside a pretty busy, noisy street, but I'm from the city so I didn't mind. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Server brought my order correctly and my check promptly. I'll come back read more

Food: Decent breakfast joint; eggs had cripsy edges, a must; their bacon was the star; crispy yet not burnt, the texture was just right; their Belgian-style waffle was good but dry... Service: friendly, attentive Ambiance: clean, spacious, fun relaxed vibes read more

Came for brunch with a friend. I ordered the avocado toast -- two slices of wheat bread, covered in avocado spread with arugula, radish, and fresh red onions The amount you get is very satisfying, but the flavor was pretty plain until I added their house made salsa verde. Made it 10 times better! My friend ordered the skillet and although the flavor was consistent with creole seasoning, the cheese on top wasn't melted and the shrimp looked dry. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is the worst, but that's downtown for ya. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She did a great job noticing when we needed something and when we didn't. read more

This was actually a very pleasant experience for an on-a-whim meal! Our waitress (gosh I wish I could remember her name) was AMAZING. she had recommendations and suggestions and was so friendly and didn't make a single mistake even though there were 4 people all with very complicated orders. We had my mom, my bff, and her son who is 6. He just wanted pancakes and bacon and loved it. Bestie ordered the grits as well as the biscuits and gravy and everything was soooo good. Her ice latte was not great tho, super weak and watered down. I got the big bad skillet and it was ok. I was hoping for more potato but it was much heavier on the meats which I didn't love but that's more of a personal preference. We got the food quickly and hot and the music and vibes made for a very fun meal. I also loved all the local school representation on the walls. read more

BBB was so good downtown, that we decided to go to the one in Mount Pleasant the next day. They are batting 2 for 2. We just so happened to get the owner's daughter as our server. Super sweet and informative to our questions. I got the exact same breakfast as the day before (Yard Work Skillet and cheesy grits). Did I mention the coffee is excellent?! I wish we had a BBB in Orlando. read more

Horrible!! pancakes are paper thin, they constantly walked passed us and didn't refill our drinks. When we tried to get a coke refill instead of more tea, they charged us for an extra drink... our waitress was rude and snobby the entire time. I would not recommend this place if you're a tourist. Hated it if I could give a half of star I would. read more

Rather nice breakfast spot in charlston, just north of the main area. Plenty of yummy breakfast options. I got the big bad skillet which was rather good and was served with a delicious bisket on the side. The fresh squeezed orange juice is delicious and definitely worth getting. Coffee was just ok. Service was fast. Definitely recommend if you are in the area looking for breakfast. read more

Was really excited about this place... but we shouldn't have been. First, we were the first ones there after they opened and the young lady acted like we inconvenienced her for wanting breakfast at breakfast time. Then the food was just mediocre. One of us got a scramble and it was wet. Barely a third of it was eaten. Another got chicken and waffles and the waffles were super basic and had not flavor and the chicken was dry and flavorless. Only about a third of it eaten. The only thing we all ate were the pancakes. read more

Good food and good service. Had plenty of covered outdoor seating. Our server was very helpful. read more

I like sitting at the bar at BBB. Good vibes, good service, good music and the Biscuit Crumble is a must! Great spot for a quick breakfast and even when there's a big crowd, they can get you in and out. Or you can hang out and get a few glasses of prosecco on tap. read more

Big Bad Breakfast - Charleston - Breakfast Crumble (eggs, grits, crumbled biscuit, gravy, scallions, tomato, bacon bits) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I recently had a wonderful brunch at Big Bad Breakfast! The grits were peppery and cheesy, the biscuits and gravy (with sausage gravy) was flavorful, and the bacon was thick and crispy. I didn't love the iced latte that I got - it wasn't strong enough for me- but would definitely come back for a good, hearty breakfast! I also thought it was very reasonably priced. read more

I've been here many times and have had a great experience each and every time. Service is always attentive, food is always served hot and delicious m and it's a great place to sit and talk. read more

I realized that the owner had reached out to me via an email address that did not recognize the sender, and sent the response to my junk email box. I maintained that the food was excellent, the service was good, and we had some really nice outdoor seating. I am working together with the manager to rectify the mug situation. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place with southern food and boy, this place didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is very charming and all the servers were wearing shirts with funny sayings. Ben, our waiter, was really nice and knowledgeable of the menu. He gave great suggestions and I went with a bennidict and hubby got a skillet. I added a side of fresh fruit which were yummy berries. Whatever you do, order something that has a bisket. They were fabulous! There are several locations for the restaurant and even in a weekday, there was a little wait. You can't pass up a chance to eat here. read more

Excellent chow with rapid friendly service! The Huevos Rancheros Grit bowl & the Hanger scramble with fried Oysters were both excellent but we were both so hungry we neglected to take a pic. I especially liked how the Oysters were lightly dusted in cornmeal and not overly breaded as some places are apt to do and then not cooked all the way through. Nicely done! The Cold Brew coffee was tasty as well and server Ashlan was especially attentive. A perfect day for outside seating - I couldn't believe how short the wait was for a Sunday brunch! read more

The food was delicious and the wait was not long. The waitress was very friendly and she was great at her job. The ambiance was great . read more

Passed this place in our Uber on way to our hotel and it's sign alone made me want to try it. Made it a point to go the next morning and it did not disappoint. It has indoor tables and counter service along with a huge outdoor seating area. Lots of menu items available all day. We chose a table inside and Jay took great care of us. We had sausage and cheese omelet with a side salad and a skillet with potatoes, cheese and avocado. Coffee and food was hot , plentiful and delicious, Enjoy! read more

Why do we have so many varieties for lunch and dinner, but breakfast is breakfast everywhere you go. That being said, it's really hard to stand out in the crowd, and this place does just that. They do an amazing job of adding a unique twist to your typical breakfast staples. I don't think you can go wrong with anything in the menu. Our server, Janna, was fantastic, and also had a uniqueness to her to match the restaurant. We'll be back for sure. read more

Typical diner serving up classic staples. I got their breakfast wrap with a side of fries which was very tasty. Service was good but a bit slow. We sat outside on a gorgeous Sunday morning in the outdoor patio area which is a must! read more

Ultimately I would be giving this place a 3.5/5 but we can't do half stars. When we first arrived there was no host or hostess ready to seat us, which was completely fine, it was more that the gentleman that did seat us looked to be annoyed that they had to get up off his chair and bring us to our table. Once we were seated it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to come get our drink orders. We were not upset by any means as we were able to look at the menu and decide what we wanted to order along with finalize our plans for the day. The Vietnamese Coffee was very good! I added Carmel syrup to it. The fresh squeeze OJ and Grapefruit juice were very nice and smooth. There was not a lot of pulp in them. The redneck Benny was good but it didn't have much flavor to it. I did add salt and pepper to it once I realized there wasn't much flavor to it. The skillet was good and something my husband would order again! Overall dining experience was fine but would strongly recommend the Vietnamese coffee and fresh squeezed juices read more

Can someone say delicious. My husband and I were in town during memorial day weekend and on our last day before leaving we were in search of a good breakfast spot. Every restaurant in the area was packed including Big bad breakfast but we were able to order food online. Their website was user-friendly and they offer an array of breakfast and brunch items for all diets. There is a small lot adjacent to the restaurant that you can park for free if you luck up and find a space. Street parking is free or you can pay to park in the large lot across the street. Our order was ready in a timely fashion. My husband had the classic Big bad breakfast with a side of grits which he said was very good. I had the Yard Work Skillet and it was delicious made with all fresh veggies, eggs potatoes and cheese. This is definitely on my list of breakfast spots to come back to when we are visiting Charleston. read more

It was big, beautiful, and a brilliant breakfast. Food was cooked perfectly. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. Other than a parking lot panhandler, this was a great experience and I'd come back again for some wicked good nourishment and fellowship. read more

This is by far my favorite brunch spot in Charleston (with Millers all day being a close second). They don't really take reservations and if you go on Saturday or Sunday you likely will have to wait for a bit but it is well worth it. Pro-tip: You can actually join the waitlist virtually through the Yelp app and don't have to go to BBB in order to put your name in. Any of the skillets are usually my go to as well as the biscuit crumble. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well read more

Don't often get to eat here because of timing, but I took advantage of meeting ending early and went in for brunch. Couldn't do a brunch drink since I was still working, but the Steak and Eggs meal was still on point. Got the biscuit and a side of grits to go along with it. Ate the biscuit last with the tasty strawberry jelly. It was like dessert. Everything was delicious. Sat at the bar, which really gives it a diner feel, and was served quickly. Highly recommend it and will be back. read more

Great food/drink choicest. Food was delicious and reasonable. Destiny, our wait person was awesome

We stopped by this restaurant this morning and I'm glad we did! I had the veggie omelet with greens (for those of you who are from the west that means a tossed salad.) the salad was fresh with a wonderfully light dressing and the omelet was fluffy and filled with fresh ingredients. My hubby had the French toast that he says was the best he ever had! It was made with brioche bread and topped with blueberries and strawberries. A delicious meal all around! Our server was Day and she was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is filled with fun wall art and specialized items for purchase. read more

Do not sleep on their French toast! It's amazing. I was going back and forth about what to get and the server suggested the French Toast and I have been raving about it since. If sweet breakfast is your thing, or even if it's not... try it! It gets busy so I reccomend going early if you're trying to do a weekend brunch or doing a week day. They also have another location in Mt.P read more

Perfect spot for brunch downtown. Great food with good adult beverage options! We had a little wait when we came for a busy Saturday but the tables were turned over fairly quickly. Grabbed a drink from the bar and we were sat before we could finish it. We will definitely be back. read more

A great place for breakfast in Charleston! The coffee was delicious, 10/10 service, and the food was great.

One of the BEST places in Charleston to have a Big Bad Breakfast! The atmosphere is low key, exactly what you need early in the morning. I had the gravy and fresh biscuits and I'm so happy I did, one of the best sausage gravy's I've ever eaten! We were seated quickly, the coffee was plentiful and service outstanding, what more could you ask for?!?! We will definitely be back next time in Charleston. I have already recommended this place to several friends all who have tried it and loved the place, you should too! read more

Recommend by a driver/local tour guide. Waitress and hostess were great. We were seated very quickly. I had the low country skillet 2.5/5 The portions were adequate. However, the over all flavor was humdrum. The biscuit was the best part of the meal. They did offer a sauce that was house made, and it's definitely a must-have. The pancake was 2/5 simple and plain...no flare or texture nor taste. The yard work skillet was 2/5 The flavor and feel was just OK, nothing that drives you to have more on the fork. The atmosphere of the place was unique, and the staff was upbeat. read more

The food is good and one of the better breakfast spots on the peninsula. Parking is hit and miss so if you don't get one of the spots in the parking lot then it is difficulty to find a spot close by. read more
