Big Bad Goes Big in Norton Commons

In the Norton Commons area, Big Bad Breakfast Brownsboro gives Louisville plenty of room to enjoy Your Southern Scratch Diner. Our huge pet-friendly outdoor patio features games for the kids and an outdoor bar that stays open as long as Kentucky weather cooperates. Inside or out, breakfast, brunch and lunch are served seven days a week with genuine Southern hospitality and a menu created by James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-recommended Chef John Currence.

We crack real eggs, hand-batter our chicken and make biscuits, gravies, jams, salad dressings, hollandaise, sauces, Bloody Mary mix and JC’s Hot Sauce from scratch. Cinnamon rolls are also on the menu. Local honey, locally sourced Weisenberger Mill grits, and fresh produce whenever possible keep local flavor close. Lighter choices include avocado toast, steel-cut oatmeal, house-made granola and yogurt, egg-white omelets, wraps and salads. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available; tell us your dietary needs and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

Lunch brings burgers, sandwiches and our fried chicken sandwich. Grab fresh-squeezed orange juice, a latte, cappuccino or espresso shot, and ask about our Happy Hour and daily specials. Full-service breakfast and lunch catering is available for teacher appreciation, athletic teams, colleges, PTO meetings, showers, wedding mornings, corporate events and meetings.
