West Little Rock, Meet Big Bad

Big Bad Breakfast Bowman brings Your Southern Scratch Diner to Little Rock with breakfast, brunch and lunch seven days a week. Our approach is proudly uncomplicated: quality ingredients, scratch-made food, genuine Southern hospitality and a menu created by James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-recommended Chef John Currence.

Real eggs are cracked in our kitchen, our chicken is hand-battered, and biscuits, gravies, jams, salad dressings, hollandaise, sauces, Bloody Mary mix and JC’s Hot Sauce are made from scratch. We use local honey, locally sourced Grit Girl grits and fresh produce whenever possible. Lighter fare including avocado toast, steel-cut oatmeal, house-made granola and yogurt, egg-white omelets, wraps and salads makes room for every kind of morning. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available; let us know your dietary needs and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

Lunch brings burgers, sandwiches and our fried chicken sandwich. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is made daily, while lattes, cappuccinos and espresso shots provide the wake-up call. When Arkansas weather cooperates, grab a table on the outdoor patio. Full-service breakfast and lunch catering is available for teacher appreciation, athletic teams, colleges, PTO meetings, showers, wedding mornings, corporate events and meetings.
