Expert notes
- Big Bad Breakfast is famous for its Big Bad Breakfast Platter. Other must-try dishes include the Shrimp and Grits, Waffles, and the Fried Chicken Biscuit. Big Bad Breakfast is primarily a breakfast and brunch spot, but they also serve lunch. However, the breakfast dishes are the standout items on the menu. Don't miss the homemade biscuits - they're some of the best in town!
