With its bright spacious interior, Big Bad Breakfast is built for chatty morning meet-ups with a big crew. French toast, breakfast burritos, chicken and biscuits—you name it, they’ve got it. And it’s all solid. The waffle nearly spills off the plate, crowned with thick, crunchy fried chicken in a garlicky, salty batter. Fried chicken is their strength, which it demonstrates again in the hefty chicken biscuit—a hard-crusted biscuit with buttery layers. But the standout at this small, Mississippi-born chain, might be the coffee cake—a gooey-sweet specialty made just for this location. When you’ve got a hungry crew and need a place that delivers easy variety, this is the move.
