Music City Mornings on Charlotte Avenue

On Charlotte Avenue in Music City, Big Bad Breakfast Nashville is Your Southern Scratch Diner, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch seven days a week. Our menu was created by James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-recommended Chef John Currence, bringing his Southern cooking philosophy straight to the BBB table, with genuine hospitality setting the tone.

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. This location also serves our cinnamon rolls for mornings that call for something sweet. We use local honey, locally sourced Grit Girl Grits and fresh produce whenever possible. 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 takes the stage with burgers, sandwiches and our fried chicken sandwich. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is made daily, and lattes, cappuccinos and espresso shots are ready for an encore. Enjoy our pet-friendly patio and ask about our Happy Hour. Full-service breakfast and lunch catering is available for teacher appreciation, athletic teams, colleges, PTO meetings, showers, wedding mornings, corporate events and meetings.
