Big Bad Breakfast
2664 N Hwy 17, Mount Pleasant, SC
Crema's Take
“Big Bad Breakfast nails the rare balance of being both a quick coffee grab and a lingering destination where you actually want to stay—their staff genuinely cares, and it shows in everything from Jordan's attentive hospitality to fresh eggs that arrive hot and perfectly executed. Beyond solid traditional coffee drinks, this Mount Pleasant spot earns its reputation with creative breakfast dishes (their house-made jellies are legendary) and the unexpected luxury of a cold beer alongside your morning meal, making it feel like a celebration rather than just refueling.”

Food? Amazing. Service? Incredible. Overall experience? 10/10. Our server, Jordan, blew us away with his hospitality. Very genuine, truly authentic with his customer service. The attention to detail was amazing. He even brought me a to go coffee without me asking! So thoughtful. And the manager, Kevin was so kind as well. The food is divine every time. I HIGHLY recommend the waffle. Probably the best waffle in the US. I also highly recommend the bacon. You know how at most breakfast places the bacon is thin and undercooked? Big Bad has thick cut, perfectly cooked bacon. I melt with every bite. Last, but certainly not least, the hot sauce!! My partner and I buy a bottle every time we come. It’s so versatile, you can put it on anything. Breakfast, tacos, potatoes, sandwiches, meats… and I’m from Los Angeles so I’m very picky with my hot sauces. If you’re going to breakfast, you better be going to Big Bad!
There is a lot of good going on here. Food is fresh and everything came out of the kitchen hot. Have to like a place you can get a beer with your eggs. Wife got a BLT and said it was obvious "there is a chef in the kitchen". Much better than the Eggs Ip Grill it replaced. If you live in Brickyard very convenient. Quick food delivery also. When weather gets nicer might be a good place to sit outside and eat. That said it is pretty hard to transform a BLT and they didn't. I am told a proper BLT has a slice of lettuce. Not shredded. I'd say the biggest draw back is loud. High ceiling and cement floor makes the sound bounce. The bar tender made the world's largest cappuccino and we could not hear each other for what felt like an eternity. So is it the best place in town ? No. Is it worth it to try? Absolutely. I'll go back. Breakfast with a beer? Sign me up
my fiancé and i went here for the first time ever today and we had a great experience! the staff were friendly, we had our food within 10 minutes, and the food was delicious! we will definitely be returning.
At first we didn't know what to expect. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. Their special peach, blueberry and strawberry jelly was good. They also have their own hot sauce, when I say was the goodt, it was delicious. If I could find it in the store, I would definitely purchase it.
Can’t wait to come back! Hands down, the best breakfast I’ve had in the Lowcountry. The food, the vibe, the service—everything was on point. My husband had the cathead chicken biscuit (minus the cheese), and he couldn’t stop talking about it. The biscuit was topped with a perfectly fried, boneless chicken breast sliced in half. The sausage gravy? Creamy, flavorful, and the perfect match for that biscuit. He paired it with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice that literally smelled like someone had just peeled an orange right in front of us. I went for the fried French toast—yes, fried! The best way I can describe it: if an elephant ear and French toast had a baby, this would be their sweet, decadent bundle of joy. Topped with fresh berries and cream, it was incredible and an absolute must try. The atmosphere was cozy and cute, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the prices were super reasonable for the portion sizes. We’ll definitely be back!
