    Avocado Toast
    Jessica C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast Crumble (eggs, grits, crumbled biscuit, gravy, scallions, tomato, bacon bits)
    Lindsay D.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Egg biscuit
    Bev R.

    Sooo good and huge portions. We were lucky at 9 on a Sat not to wait. I had 2 eggs w bacon OH so crisp, biscuit and hash brown. Husband said biscuit sandwich was too big to eat with your hands

The hostess took my phone number down and said she would text me to let me know when our table was ready. Since this location is in downtown Charleston, it was easy to wander around outside and keep ourselves entertained until I got the text that our table was about to be ready and we had 10 minutes to check in. Once I checked in, we were seated immediately and told to scan the QR code at the table to see the menu. A few minutes later, our server came by and asked if we wanted coffee or other drinks. After she came back with drinks, she took our order. I got the cornmeal pancakes. They are made of cornmeal so they had a different taste than what I was used to with pancakes. It wasn't a bad taste. They tasted like a combo of sweet, but also savory. They also felt very light so I didn't feel overstuffed after eating them. Because of how busy they are, they got us in and out in less than 40 minutes. There are signs at the table to not stay longer than 90 minutes, but this was no problem here. Just something to keep in mind to not hang around if you're done with your meal and you see a giant wait outside. As we were leaving, other people were being quoted about a 45+ minute wait. Since it's in downtown Charleston, there is no dedicated parking lot. However, there is street parking available nearby. As someone that cannot parallel park, I went the safe route and parked in a parking garage that was close by. I paid $4 for that. Overall, great breakfast place and quick service!
