Nothing big about the breakfast, just the check. I don't understand the hype nothing special at all.

First time here and I'm officially in love! From the moment you walk in, you immediately feel the good vibes! The atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and not too loud, so you can actually enjoy your food and have a good conversation. Plus, all the cute and unique signs and frames throughout the restaurant make it such a fun place to be! The food was delicious, and let's not forget about the drinks! Make sure to ask for Nicole--she was absolutely amazing! She did a great job explaining the menu, checking on us throughout our meal, and making sure we had everything we needed. Food: Chicken & Waffles Steak N' Eggs Drinks: Fresh-Squeezed Mimosa We'll definitely be back! read more

This visit was... okay. Our server was really odd & slurring her words that my partner & I couldn't help but giggle but she seemed perfectly functional just anxious & really rushing us. The food came out fine, I swear when I had came the first 2 visits my steak & eggs were amazing... idk what's changed but now the food is bland & just hungry to want to eat it all. My partner ordered home skillet potatoes which I found deliciously crispy, but he didn't care for them. The bacon however is delicious & maple glazed? We always enjoy their bacon. We also always get the Vietnamese iced coffee & those are delicious everytime & pretty sweet. Parking sucks, it's extremely tight & some cars don't pill up right to the parking block & it's really annoying & inconvenient to park at the secondary parking lot which is a couple blocks away & having to cross a street with no cross walk intersection, cars flyyyyy there so be wary. read more

Came here for breakfast during the week last time I was in Louisville. It was so busy, but it was also a weekend. When I went, it wasn't busy so that was a plus. We were pleasantly greeted and just miss the early morning happy hour. We ordered chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, a skillet and then wanted to try some sides as well. Everything tasted great biscuits were nice and fluffy. The jams were delicious. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast; it was our first time, and we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our meal! The food was hot and tasted great! We both got chicken biscuits, and we really liked everything. I also got a cocktail- the Breakfast Dude- and it was yummy! Our waitress was very polite and helpful. The restaurant was busy, but we were able to be seated quickly and received our food in a timely manner. The place itself was clean and refreshing with cute decor. We will be returning and recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice breakfast/brunch option. 10/10 read more

I visited Big Bad Breakfast Middletown on Father's Day with my family. The place was very busy, so I guess many people choose here for special occasions. Our server was super friendly and explained the menu very well. I really appreciated that. The only small problem was that my Biscuit Sandwich didn't come out until my family almost finished their food. When I told them at the checkout, they checked right away and brought the sandwich, and also removed it from the bill. I thought that was very nice and professional. The inside of the restaurant was clean and had a good atmosphere. Overall, even with the small mistake, we had a great experience and I would come back again. read more

A friend of mine and I recently went here for breakfast. We both were pleased with our experience. I ordered the Redneck Benny and chose the option of the sausage gravy; the dish was delicious and large, I took half of it home. Juice I ordered didn't taste good, fortunately I was comped for it when I said so. It was pineapple juice that was not listed on the menu so maybe it was old. The ambiance and space was good, and we received our food in a timely fashion. I perhaps would like to see a little more variety of menu items and the biscuit for my Benedict didn't blow me away but overall we had a really nice time. read more

First time here. Loved the place. Food was delicious and service was efficient. Will be back next time I'm in Louisville!

Really fabulous breakfast with so many options it was hard to decide what to eat. Also, we went around 10:30 AM and could have had lunch items too! Wow, I was impressed. Not too busy that we had to wait, we had a booth fairly quickly. Service was spot on, our waitperson, Ashleigh, was super cool and friendly. I had The Screamin Demon, which is a fried chicken sandwich, it was really good. Perfect amount of spice, not hot at all in my opinion. My husband had the Big Bad Hot Brown because it's a local thing to order and he really liked it. Lots of food. Our friend had the Creole Omlette and she said it was really good. Large pieces of shrimp and a nicely seasoned sauce. I enjoyed our visit, and will return to any location I manage to stumble upon. Highly recommend visiting one near you. read more

They have a huge menu with some unique breakfast items. The food was delicious, service friendly and a quiet atmosphere.

We visited BBB on a Saturday morning and the place was hopping! We were quickly seated and I asked the waitress for some recommendations. She highlighted some of the popular menu items, and, in the end, we placed an order for one breakfast burrito and three breakfast platters. Our food arrived pretty quickly. I was so looking forward to some sausage gravy and theirs was pretty good, although I would have loved for it to have been served a little hotter. My eggs, sausage, and potato cakes were all very good and my dining companions also enjoyed their meals. My husband, who judges his breakfast by how good the bacon is, was very pleased. The only drawback was that it was a bit loud inside, but I guess anytime you have that many people in one room it gets a little loud. All in all, we had a great experience and would recommend BBB to others looking for a good place for brunch. read more

Yes, I certainly recommend Big Bad Breakfast! We went today for brunch after church and we had such a great time. Our server was Nicole and she was so enthusiastic and delightful. The restaurant is very large and bright. There's even a small fireplace surrounded by a counter that is unexpectedly cozy. BBB has a 2 sided menu that is loaded with so many items, it almost took me forever to decide. I chose to order the Big Bad Skillet, Three eggs, scrambled, Big Bad bacon, Big Bad sausage, ham, onions, potatoes and cheddar cheese. Served with toast or biscuit. You can have them make any changes to it that you'd like. I had them cut the onions and put the ground sausage on the side and gave it to my husband, that loves sausage. He chose a Belgian Waffle that came with Whipped Cream, Strawberries & Blueberries. He also chose 3 Strips of Mild Bacon. We didn't have a very long wait. Nicole had also told me that my meal came with a side, a biscuit, wheat toast and white toast. She talked me into the big biscuit. It came with whipped butter and my choice of jellies. I chose peach! The biscuit was BIG, and it was called a Pepper Biscuit. I'm not a fan of pepper, but the BBB's pepper Biscuit was really good. We had a delicious time! Our server, Nicole was great. Their hours are 7:00am to 2:30 pm. read more

We keep coming back, and every visit reminds us why. One of our favorite things is trying something new from the menu each time, and so far every dish has been a hit. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the food, and we've never been disappointed. Great flavors, great quality, and plenty of reasons to keep returning. Highly recommended! read more

Bloody Mary was decent, I like the menu and the speed of service. Food always comes out hot and tasty. You should make reservations if you have a party larger than 3. Parking in the lot if some what limited so you may need to park on street and travel over. Portions are also reasonable. read more

Big Bad Breakfast is a must-visit for breakfast lovers! I've tried the other two locations in Louisville and have enjoyed them as well. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff ready to serve up some seriously delicious food. I love how you can use the Yelp app to get on the wait list. One of the reasons we went to BBB. I had the pancakes, and they were light and fluffy with an amazing syrup. If you're a brunch enthusiast or just love a solid Southern-style breakfast, this place is for you! Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Great breakfast and brunch spot in Louisville. They have several locations too! The fruit on the waffle was super fresh and the biscuits had a great taste. The omelet was a big portion! Definitely enough to split with someone and maybe get a waffle! The steak n eggs were a hit and of course we had to get a bruleed grapefruit on the side! Our server was super sweet and recommended several things and brought us different jams to taste. The inside is decorated super cute with the led sign too! read more

BBB is your classic breakfast spot with a good selection and crowded on the weekends. The service was friendly and the food was solid. Quality fresh squeezed OJ and the biscuit which is a part of many dishes was good, but nothing special. The huevos was unique as grits were added in and were a good breakfast option outside of the classic. The creole omelet with tomato gravy was filling and the seafood was fresh and well seasoned. read more

Our first brunch at the new location of BBB. Welcome to Middletown! I used Yelp to get on the waiting list and at 12:30p there wasn't an issue to walk in without it. I appreciated being seated at a booth per my waiting list request. My teen got the chicken and waffles - delicious! They have a bit of a kick to them so keep your water glass filled. The sausage biscuits and gravy was perfect and not spicy. I added an egg and split this with my teen, while also ordering an egg and biscuit sandwich. It comes with cheese. My bacon was $3.50 which wasn't worth the up charge. Coffee is basic and worth it when you need the kick. Our only issue with today's experience was the service and it was specific to our server. She went MIA after taking our order. Thankfully other team members filled in for her with delivering our food and bringing us more coffee and water (although I had to walk up to the bar for help). I watched all of her tables looking for her to request service, from paying their bill to getting other items and drinks. It was disappointing to leave a gratuity for her rather than another server. Several tables inside. If you visited Zeggz in the past, it's the same layout but fun artwork. Where do I get a copy of Mona Lisa drinking her coffee?! We will be back and I'm confident with another server it'll be a 5-star hotel experience. The parking lot is a bit of a challenge but the pizza place next to it doesn't open until BBB closes. read more

We recently had a wonderful breakfast at this location in Middletown. We arrived at a busy time and had about a 20 minute wait. Next time I will join the waitlist before arriving. We ordered biscuits and sausage gravy, Brulé grapefruit, French toast and scrambled eggs. Everything was really good! Our server Ty was so friendly and helpful and guiding us in our decisions. I'll look forward to another great breakfast in the near future! read more

So Big Bad Breakfast was a mixed bag. I had the Vietnamese coffee, breakfast platter with eggs over medium, spicy bacon, a biscuit, and a side of sausage gravy. Let's start with what was good. The biscuit was delicious. Would recommend. Side of strawberry and blackberry jams. Yum. The sign in the bathroom for a 5 star deuce, funny but doesn't match the restraint vibes. Sitting at the Bar our server Emily worked her butt off. She was doing 5x the job of everyone else and still managed to make sure we had personalized service. Now to what could improve: The restaurant needs to do something to make the working experience of their staff particularly behind the bar better. The counters are way too high and makes the workers have to work constantly with their arms raised to make drink or serve. There are not pads or anything to ease the stress of someone who will be in their feet constantly. An ergonomic nightmare. They need to invest in raising the area on a platform or something to make the job easier. At minimum invest in some working pads. Viet Coffee was was overly sweet and poured from a large premade batch. Simple enough to make each of those individually. Eggs cooked closer to over easy but that's fairly common mistake. The bacon was hot but so crispy it's like it was cooked a long time ago and kept under a warmer. Consistency was that of very crunchy dry bacon bits. No real spiciness to speak of. The gravy was just missing something, maybe more pepper, I don't know. It didn't hit. read more

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to enjoy my visit. I arrived too late and my husband left before I could arrive. It was Mother's Day so of course they were packed. But I do plan to return. I'm interested in trying their biscuits. Sometimes the biscuits aren't as good at the other BBB. I was quite impressed that when I arrived to our names on the list, the hostess remembered exactly who my husband was and what happened. She got our names added back to the list. read more

First of all my husband ordered 2 different items that they didn't have. He went to restroom NO toilet paper or paper towels - while 3 people stood at bar (one of which we later found out was the manager) There were maybe 10 tables of folks, so not busy for 9 am but still took 25 mins to get our breakfast. Then the bacon and eggs were cold, the biscuit was hard & the gravy had a film over it. The pancake was supposed to be blueberry but server brought out blueberry jam, since they didn't have blueberries. We asked to speak to a manager, paid bill and left. She tried to give us the $ back but he told her to give it to the server, she didn't deserve not to get it. So, we went down the street to DQ and it was hot, fresh and delicious- and 1/3 of the price!!! We won't be back and will tell our friends to just go to Middletown DQ! read more

We stopped for breakfast Saturday morning, hot tip: I learned from a yelp review, sign up on the wait list before you arrive. Saved us from a 25 minute wait. Although we ended up grabbing a couple of seats at the bar. Food was great, both the Creole omelette with tomato gravy and the Jack Benny which is their version of eggs Benedict. Kathy had the espresso martini and loved it. The bartender was friendly and trying to keep up but the place was very busy, she was having trouble keeping up with the crowd. The place is still new... working through some growing pains on proper amount of staffing. We definitely will visit again. read more

Killer breakfast in Saturday morning at Big Bad Breakfast! Sydney served us with a smile and perfect amount of attention! It was our first time here. The biscuits and gravy by are amazing! The gravy was thick and flavorful but not so thick you had to chew on it. The breakfast wrap that I got gangster style was good. It had an interesting flavor to it that I couldn't quite pick out that isn't my taste so I probably won't have that again, but it wasn't a bad wrap/burrito at all . My friend had the creole omelette and loved it and the breakfast potatoes that it came with it were delicious because I grabbed a fork to stick a couple bites in my mouth. The coffee was good and hearty, and the mimosa was perfection. Great start to any day. Can't wait to back and try some of those Eggs Benedict offerings!! read more

First the good: Great decor, love the wall of famous locals, clean place and we were seated quickly. Now the not-good: Server was high, yes I do mean high.. coffee was mediocre, fries and sandwich were cold and greasy, daughter ordered chix biscuit and it was a cold chix strip on a biscuit with a piece of processed cheese on top. No manager on the floor We both left with upset stomachs!! Definitely not close to First Watch quality which is where we will go from now on. read more

I had two very different experiences here within just a few days. On Thursday, I took my mom for breakfast, and everything was wonderful. The service was friendly and attentive, and our food was fresh and delicious. Based on that visit, I couldn't wait to come back. Unfortunately, when I returned on Saturday for an early afternoon brunch with my dad, it was a completely different experience. The music was so loud that it made it difficult to have a conversation. Our breakfast skillet arrived with a pool of water in the bottom, which I assume came from the vegetables. It made the entire dish soggy and unappetizing. The service also took a noticeable turn for the worse. The waitress returned shortly after we got our food, but that was it. She never came back to refill waters or coffees. The restaurant was staffed by what appeared to be mostly younger employees, and although the restaurant still had about an hour before closing, it felt like they were already shutting down. Tables weren't being cleared, and the lack of attentiveness was obvious. In fact, the family seated next to us waited so long without anyone acknowledging them that they eventually got up and left. It's disappointing because my first visit showed how good this restaurant can be. I hope management addresses the inconsistencies in both the kitchen and the service, because the potential is definitely there. read more
