Big Bad Breakfast - Mobile

This reminds me of a modern take of a 50’s diner.
The old school looking grandma’s silverware was a nice touch.
The place is neat and clean.
The restroom was clean; if you know you know. The waffle was not overcooked, light and had a sweet taste.
I ate it without syrup.
The waffle is a little pricey for what you get.
So if you’re hungry, order something to compliment it. The big bad skillet is great for meat lovers.
FYI- if you love your potatoes crispy, how the skillet is cooked makes the potatoes soft. The steak and eggs- the steak is a 6 ounce ribeye.
It was seasoned well but it is not a high quality cut of meat as one would expect looking at the price.
The price is a good reflection and the entree is reasonably priced.
The grits were buttery; the biscuit was flaky but is nostalgic because it reminds me of the gas station biscuits we would get on a road trip.
The breakfast potatoes alone, were seasoned well and crispy.
They were great. The coffee is run of the mill; but the aesthetic of the restaurant and the old school looking coffee mug made me feel like I was visiting the old diner’s grand (kid) diner. The service was not that attentive.
They still were pretty good but we ran out drinks and I was not given any refills on my coffee.
But the server brought the jam and checked up on us prior to the drinks running dry.
In the words of Boyz II Men, “let’s don’t wait til the water runs dry.” This is a great brunch spot I am looking forward to trying again.

This was our second trip here, and we have ordered takeout one other time (I don’t recommend that).
It was crowded both times so we sat at the bar, had the same server as last time.
She is very friendly and efficient.
We had the same opinion as the first trip- some items are WOW delicious! But some things, imo as a non-chef foodie who loves to cook, could really be tweaked just a little and be so much better.
The gravies are outstanding! The tomato and sausage.
Grits last time were really good.
Fresh oj and the cold brew are good.
Not sure why the hype on the skillet potatoes, there’s literally nothing special about how they are cooked or seasoned (I immediately sprinkled Tabasco on mine).
Everything inside the Creole omelet was very tasty; it’s just not functional as an omelet… everything is large and it’s not tied together with the cheese.
More like roll the egg over and cut bites of egg to eat with whole shrimp or bites of sausage.
The tomato gravy should def go across the whole thing (last time hubby got the biscuit crumble, and it needed more gravy too).
Think I had the redneck Benny the first time, it was very good! And we tried a pancake the first trip, they make a pretty good pancake! The biscuits are ok, nothing phenomenal about them except the gravy on them which is, again, really amazing! Oh! Just found pics of the first trip, the Benny and the biscuit crumble! Adding pics, the poached eggs were literally perfect.

Best service we experienced in the USA.
Superb! We really felt well taken care of for our breakfast visit. Amazing food and my kids love the t shirts I brought when I was there.
