Where Big Bad Breakfast Began

This is where it all started. Big Bad Breakfast Oxford opened in 2008, making Oxford the birthplace of BBB and the original home of Your Southern Scratch Diner. Founder John Currence, a James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-recommended chef, created the Big Bad Breakfast menu around the idea that breakfast deserves the same ingredients, care and technique as dinner, served with genuine Southern hospitality. Today, Oxford remains open seven days a week for breakfast, brunch and lunch.

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. Local honey, locally sourced Grit Girl Grits and fresh produce whenever possible keep Mississippi close to 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 brings burgers and sandwiches. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is made daily, while lattes, cappuccinos and espresso shots start Oxford mornings strong. Enjoy the outdoor patio. Full-service breakfast and lunch catering is available for teacher appreciation, athletic teams, colleges, PTO meetings, showers, wedding mornings, corporate events, meetings and game-day gatherings.

Reservations are not accepted. For larger groups, call ahead, and where available, join the Yelp Waitlist before arriving.
