Big Bad Breakfast - Durham

Breakfast or lunch all day.I had eggs, chicken sausage, hash, cakes, whole wheat, toast, and green tea. Everything was wonderful. My waitress, jazz, was fantastic.

Came here in the mood for an eggs benedict but the flavor was lacking. The sauce didn't have much going for it and was so creamy it was almost nauseating. Maybe the other things on the menu are better.Besides that, it's a solid location and close to campus, close enough that I consider it walkable. No complaints about service, and we were seated very fast. Interior is well lit and bright. The water napkins are awkwardly thin.I won't be back for the eggs benedict but might be back to try something else.

Unexpected amazing experience. I don't frequent the Durham area too much. I come whenever my boyfriend is here for work. I sat at the bar because I had some work to do and plenty of seating was available. I was greeted immediately by the bartender and she grabbed me a water, cappuccino and I did have a mimosa as well. I was torn on what to order so she recommends the Hash Benny. I've worked in the restaurant industry at some brunch spots and would have never recommended a Benny because it's so hit or miss. BUT this was so damn good. Instead of an English muffin, the base is a crispy hash brown about an inch thick. The ham was a little charred and had good caramelization. It was sweet but savory. Probably one of the best brunch bites I've ever had. The team was really nice. It seemed like everyone was enjoying their shifts and also having fun with the guests. After I wrapped up my work and was speaking with the bartender, come to find out she is the director of operations, who would have thought?! But what I really enjoyed most was that she assisted me without adding in the extras of who she was and really seemed to care about my experience. I hope that this restaurant gets the recognition it deserves and when I'm back in the Durham area, I will come by again.

We really enjoyed breakfast here! We ordered a burrito with vegan sausage, a pancake, creole omelet without andouille, breakfast dude drink with vodka, cold brew, and kahlua, and a screwdriver. The omelet was too salty but the tomato gravy helped cut that. The servers were friendly and attentive. There's quite a bit space indoors with booths, tables, and a bar and a few seats outside. I would definitely return to try something else. The prices weren't too expensive either.

Plenty of parking. The wait time wasn't long. Cute bar area. The restaurant is a nice open area & was very clean. The waitress gave plenty of recommendations. We ordered a variety of things. I do not eat beef & pork so this restaurant was very limited on protein choices. A lot of pork. The grits were good. Prices were average.

I really loved the food here! We tried the creole omlet, which came with an incredible tomato gravy that tasted like a creamy tomato soup, and the Belgian waffle with spicy bacon added. I highly recommend trying the bruleed grapefruit as a side because it SLAPPEDDD!Not only was the breakfast amazing, but their staff was great - they gave us the best recommendations.

Came here so excited to see BBB had come to Durham. I'd been to different locations in Mississippi and SC but this one is now the closest one for me. The service was great, we had kind staff! I was disappointed by the food. I ordered the Mother of biscuits which I've had before when I went to the Charleston location. They first made it with American cheese when it is supposed to come with cheddar so I had to send it back. The second one they sent out definitely wasn't as pretty as the first, I unfortunately didn't get a picture to compare the 2. Some aspects of it were good but the sandwich was overpowered by the chicken because it was so over seasoned. I'm glad I had it before coming here or else I don't think I'd consider coming back to BBB. My boyfriend had the pancakes and bacon. He liked the bacon wasn't taken aback by the pancakes. I think because this location is still pretty new maybe that played a factor behind the quality of food but I do hope they improve soon.

Another great experience at Big Bad Breakfast this morning my favorite breakfast spot in Durham. The atmosphere, the people, the service the food - everything is delicious and wonderful. BB. Ishighly rated if you're looking for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday or really any day of the week

"Breakfast and some lunch food on Erwin Road right off Duke's West Campus"Came here for lunch on a Friday with some colleagues. This is the site of the old "Another Broken Egg" cafe, and it seems like the theme was basically retained-- this venue is only open for breakfast and lunch, and is mostly breakfast foods. The venue is bright and airy, though some of the decor was a little odd (like the giant artsy poster that said "LARD").I think they're still working out some of the kinks on timing/ flow, or maybe they were short-staffed-- we arrived and waited by the door for almost 5 minutes until I finally flagged someone down and asked if we should seat ourselves. The person seemed surprised that no one was up front seating folks.I ordered the "screamin' demon" fried chicken breast sandwich, and others at my table had some of the skillets or the avocado toast.It took a surprisingly long time to get the food (for a breakfast/ lunch place)-- almost 30 minutes. But the good news was the sandwich was quite good, albeit a tiny bit smaller than I had expected. The taste of the ingredients blended in an excellent way, and it was piping hot (temperature). For the side, I got the crispy hash cake, which was two large hashbrowns, and they were delicious. Everyone in my party seemed happy with their scrambles or avocado toast-- many of them didn't even finish their dishes and had leftovers for later.Our server was good on checking on us and refilling waters, too.The price was fair-- not cheap, but not "very high". I confess I was nervous that their menu online didn't have prices-- ha ha. I think the fried chicken breast sandwich with one side was around $15. Yes, more expensive than fast food, but around what one might pay at a sit-down sandwich or burger place for the same. I would have loved the fresh orange juice, but the $6 price was a bit steep.Overall, it was good-- I'd go back, and maybe try some of the breakfast dishes if earlier in the day.

This was ok, but definitely chain restaurant quality. I had the eggs benedict--the sauce was super rich but not that tasty. It came on toast instead of an English muffin. The ham was very thick and there was too much of it. If you are looking for a big, not too healthy breakfast, this is a good place. I should have read the description first.
