Midtown Mornings Done Big

In the heart of Midtown Mobile, Big Bad Breakfast is Your Southern Scratch Diner, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch seven days a week with Gulf Coast warmth and genuine Southern hospitality. Our Southern menu was created by James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-recommended Chef John Currence, with scratch cooking at the center of the experience.

We crack real eggs and make biscuits, jams, gravies, salad dressings, hollandaise, sauces, Bloody Mary mix and JC’s Hot Sauce from scratch, and hand-batter our chicken in-house. Local honey, locally sourced Grit Girl Grits and fresh produce whenever possible keep local flavor on the plate. Lighter fare includes avocado toast, steel-cut oatmeal, house-made granola and yogurt, egg-white omelets, wraps and salads. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available; let us know your dietary needs and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

Lunch means burgers, sandwiches, fresh salads and our fried chicken sandwich. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is made daily, and specialty coffee drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and espresso shots are here to get your morning moving. Grab a table on our pet-friendly patio. Full-service breakfast and lunch catering is available for schools, teacher appreciation, athletic teams, colleges, PTO meetings, showers, wedding mornings, corporate meetings and events.
