    Breakfast Old School Wrap and Side Skillet Potatoes

    The low country skillet with shrimp and biscuits with tomato gravy was perfect 10/10. The old school wrap was good also added hot sauce 8/10. Service was great ask for Bailey

    Fried Oyster Scramble "Hangout Style": My husband is a man of few words, he said it was "really good".

    Service was impeccable!! Everyone was delightful , helpful, and all smiles. Just the kind of place to be your day started right. I drank my breakfast, as seen in the photo. My husband ate every bite of his breakfast and said he could eat that same thing every day! The environment was clean, fresh, and had a home-like feel. The front parking was sparse and tight, but there is plenty more on the side and back lot, so parking isn't an issue. It's a 5-stars for certain.

    This place is consistently great service, food and everything! We sit at the bar if we can, but get there early or you may wait a bit

    Patio seating on a nice day can't be beat. Service was great. My husband got biscuits and tomato gravy and I'm pretty sure his eyes rolled back in his head, in a good way. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and perfect. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, but they weren't bad. Just not my thing. We have been here several times and have never had a bad experience.

    Real fried chicken and waffles!

    The food is amazing, visiting from out of town on a heartfelt visit, I had a bit of a hiccup on service but no questions asked taken care of immediately. Ambiance inside very busy and outside a chilly 41*, but nice. Definitely coming back

    So anyone who reads my reviews know that it is a rare near impossible feat to get a happy happy joy joy comment out of me simply because most place totally suck because of service, food, or both! NOT THIS PLACE! It's actually really good!!! I even waited until we had three full visits down before I said anything just on the off shot the place secretly sucked and just got lucky the first two visits. Currently on our way for visit number four and actually excited about it. The food is amazing and so far everything we have tried is good. We have found our particular favorite server who we like to sit with - the lady who works the bar. If she's not there when we arrive I may be forced to delete this whole thing - so she can never have a weekend off. The place gets crowded on weekends so either find the window (I can't share that particular secret) or bring some calm along. Great job BBB - I gotta say one of the few real winning places I have found.

    Look for this, I think there are 3 places in the strip.

    We stumbled across this place while out looking for magic the gathering cards. What a great restaurant. And they serve cocktails! We had breakfast there. He had the biscuits and sausage gravy (they have a biscuits section on the menu! His had 3 gravy choices!) I had the shrimp, andoulle sausage, eggs, veggies, cheese dish, I forgot what it was called, but I can rave about it for days. 3 jumbo shrimp, everything in it was perfect. It's small, but has efficiently designed seating, so you have room. Service was super efficient. If you are ever near it, check it out!

    I took a day off from work and wanted to try a breakfast spot. I'm not sure what alerted me to Big Bad Breakfast but that's the place I chose. I usually do take out but since I don't live near here I decided to dine in. It took me a bit of time to find a parking spot. I eventually found a space in the front of the building. The place was packed. It took a little bit for the wait staff to get to the front to seat me. Since I was by myself I was ushered to the bar area. The wait staff suggested a breakfast margarita but I declined I was focused on the menu. I had little idea of wanted to get. I decided that since this was my first time here I would order something more traditional. The Big Bad Breakfast plate seemed perfect. It came with eggs, meat, choice of bread, and a side. I ordered scrambled eggs, mild bacon, biscuit, and grits. Now my order came back really fast. It didn't even seem like 5 minutes had passed. The food looked incredible. It tasted the same way. First off the biscuit was huge. The wait staff brought me some homemade blueberry jelly which was really good on the buttery biscuit. The bacon was cooked to perfection and it was delightful. It was a thick cut of bacon that you don't regularly have at breakfast spots. The eggs were scrambled well. The highlight of the meal was the grits. They weren't my normal grits but I enjoyed them so much. They were called The Original Grit Girl Grits, which I have no idea why. They had sort of the a sweet flavor but were so delicious. I really want to come back here.

    Another great find thanks to Yelp!! The food was so good. I got the breakfast plate with eggs over medium, bacon and potatoes and substituted the biscuit with a pancake, along with a side of grits. My hubby got an omelette with a biscuit. The pancake was different but super good, the biscuit was light, buttery and fluffy..the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The grits were my least favorite. They had good flavor but were super thick..not creamy but I still ate them!!! I would return if I came back to Mobile. The place itself is cute. Wasn't able to check into the Yelp waitlist but wait was not very long.

    BLT Omelet
    Zoe M.

    It's busy here and there's a reason for it.. the food is genuinely DELICIOUS. So fresh, great flavors, cooked perfectly! The atmosphere is also cute and comfortable!! It's in a good location with a lil boutique next door to browse through while you wait. Be sure to anticipate a wait! I loved the BLT omelet with the fresh greens. This is a memorable meal that I will crave. Adding it to my list of restaurants that I'll always love and hope to return to when traveling!

    Great place for breakfast if you're in the Midtown area. I tried one of their skillets. It looks small but is deceptively deep. Rich with flavor the sausage was spicy but not too much to overpower the dish. The biscuits were a little overcooked but the homemade jam was amazing. The service was super friendly. Plenty of parking, next door to the legendary Dew Drop Inn.

    Huevos rancheros grits! So good!

    Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.

    My go-to coffee spot for Mobile. A great little spot with excellent coffee priced affordable. The…read moreservice is always good but expect a line most of the time. Very warm feeling with indoor and outdoor seating. The pastries and sandwiches make this a good place for breakfast or lunch also.

She brought full two biscuits, sliced with gravy and two eggs on top. We said that wasn't what we ordered. Just wanted one egg on the side. She kept saying the eggs are free. "but the eggs are free!" Whatever. We asked for two Carryout boxes to take the extra food. When she brought the bill she just kept standing there waiting then said "I'll take this." Like we weren't supposed to sit there and finish our food and coffee. So I gave her my card. She came back and presented two printouts. Customer copy said "paid in full." I asked if she had already charged my card she answered yes. I asked why I still had a merchant copy to put tip and add if up if she'd already charged me. She said it's ok I'll just add the tip in on the charge. After she had already run my card?!? How does that work? Do I get an additional copy to check what she charged? "No!" It was very confusing and stupid me, when she said they have to do it that way I just picked up my receipt and left. Should have made her rerun it. And, breakfast for two was $44!!! Will NOT be going back.
