A quirky chain of breakfast joints with cocktails, dishes made with 'ham powder', and mediocre food.

Big Bad Breakfast is a local chain of restaurants distributed across the south. The restaurant we visited was two or three years old, I can't remember, and not on Facebook (so I could leave a review and let friends know I ate there). Apparently the social media coordinator didn't believe it made sense to enter each location to make it easy for customers. They assumed people would find the main restaurant even though Facebook when checking in uses your GPS coordinates to locate the restaurant. Nothing like limiting customer's options for promoting your business. Checking the restaurant's web site, I can't find this particular location at all, so it may be closed by now.

I This particular restaurant was fairly large and kinda quirky. We arrived early in the morning, fairly soon after they opened, and received a nice, friendly greeting.

Looking at the menu, you can see their view of breakfast and how seriously they take it:

I don't remember the details of this, but one of their menu items was made with "ham dust" which I think was some sort of special seasoning.

They didn't offer country fried steak, so I had the standard breakfast (eggs, biscuit, sausage link, and fried potato wedge). The biscuit was fairly dry and the sausage was split down the middle and grilled. They could have done a better job of presenting it (cutting through the skin before bringing it to the table, for example). The potato wedge was supposed to be their take on the McDonald's hash brown, but it really fell short. It was too thick and I didn't like the taste.

My view is they're trying to be fun and cheeky, but they should spend more effort on delivering better food.
