Big Bad Breakfast

BBB is super well-known and loved in Oxford. It's a go-to spot for breakfast if you can beat the morning crowd, which we did, arriving around 8 a.m. The food was incredible, as always. My "Secret History" omelet (a nod to Donna Tartt?) was excellent, flavorful and the texture was fabulous. The grits rivaled my husband's -- which is saying something. The coffee was hot and the service was good. Our waiters were accommodating, congenial and friendly. The ONLY drawback -- and it was uncomfortable -- was the woeful and loud music on the sound system. On a Sunday morning, I can't imagine wanting to hear screamers caterwauling overhead. Even if you are a fan of head-banging music, it seems that style and volume would not be good with your morning coffee -- or your hangover. BBB, you do everything right -- except the music.

The absolute best southern breakfast I've ever eaten. Fabulous home made biscuits. Perfect poached eggs. They smoke their own bacon which is the best I've ever tasted. Grits are creamy and perfectly seasoned. Everything melts in ones mouth. Service was spot on. I rarely give a 5 star rating but this warm and relaxing breakfast and brunch cafe was outstanding. If I'm ever in or near Oxford again, I'll most assuredly be eating there. BTW, Books on the Square is a wonderfully old fashioned bookstore with great selections in all genres.

Waited 2 hours to be seated. Understanding that this was homecoming weekend, okay i can be patient. Got seated took another hour to get food. When it arrived only 2 of 3 orders came. Had to wait 9 minutes (i timed it) for our last order. Food was cold, my hash browns were burnt... had to ask for the gravy i orderd for my biscuit... however the coffee was good.. What infuriated me was when a waiter informed the adjacent table that they were really backed up because... "OF THE CALL IN ORDERS" !! I couldn't make that up.. Needless to say next trip we will NOT be coming back.. Big Bad Experience..

My brother and I stopped in at this location and I have to tell you that this place is great . The food was delicious and reasonably priced...the staff was friendly and attentive. Great coffee ☕️ too. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who is looking for great food. Thanks y’all for the great food and service...sincerely: Mr. Barrientos of Texas . 👍🏻🦊😁
