Big Bad Breakfast - Middletown

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.

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.

I was so excited to try BBB and have it in Middletown. I went on a Sunday and there was about a 40 minute wait. Totally fine and not unexpected but when I saw lots of empty tables I knew service was the issue. The good - interesting and appealing menu. I got the Jack Benny with a side of grits. The food was delicious! Everything had great flavor. We shared a cinnamon roll for the table and it was also very gooey and good. Unfortunately, and like others have mentioned, service was pretty bad. Our server was rude and seemed surprised to be busy on a Sunday...at 11 am...at a breakfast place. She was nowhere to be found, never asked if we needed anything, nothing once she took our order. I totally understand getting good staff can be challenging. And they are new so still finding footing there. But rudeness and lack of attention is not understandable. I am willing to give them another chance since the food was really good but they've got to get it together with service.

We had a wonderful brunch over the weekend! This was our first time at this location and we will for sure be back. The staff were friendly and our service was great, they really took care of us! We waited about 15-20 mins, there just wasn't a ton of room to wait but other than that it was great! My food was delicious and the mimosa really hit the spot

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Was a little bit of a wait, but it was also Saturday so makes sense. The food was delicious! The waitress was very kind and wasn't always in your face, she actually let you enjoy the food. The crowd wasn't very diverse, but it didn't bother me and my friends.

We went to the Shelbyville Rd location. We've also been to the other location near Costco. I had the Smash Burger...just might be the best in town. The service was excellent. Both locations are excellent.
