Crema's Take

Big Bad Breakfast in Greystone is a lively, bustling spot that gets breakfast *right*, from their made-from-scratch biscuits and spicy grits to creamy avocado toast that justifies the hype. The energy is energetic and warm—staff move fast and genuinely seem to care about making your experience special, whether you're dining in for their legendary skillet or grabbing takeout for work. Coffee here hits the mark too, but it's really the thoughtful, homemade approach to every plate that keeps people coming back, paired with prices that feel genuinely fair for the quality.

This place was loud and busy! We got sat really fast and waited for drinks. Hot coffee was good! I ordered the breakfast plate and had a lot of food! Scrambled eggs, grits (they’re spicy), bacon and a big biscuit. The food was great. I just wish I would have been offered some butter or honey. Then, we didn’t see our server again until we were done and ready to go. I could see that he was super busy.

Big Bad gets this dish right everytime. I’ve never been inside to eat but I order takeout a lot for work and they never disappoint. This is one of the best avocado toast out there and it’s priced just right.

Phenomenal! I loved the skillet and the biscuits are amazing. Ask for the strawberry jam. Will definitely come back! Prices were great too!

This is one of the best breakfast around. If you've never had the biscuit and gravy here, I'm not just talking, they make their own gravy, it is by far the best biscuit and gravy I've ever had! the employee that served me was amazing she was quite beautiful too. I said at the bar section, so I had quick service, the biscuits and gravy came out quick and they came out fast. It was an amazing experience, by far the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. What a wonderful great experience I love this place

This place is off the chain! Food, atmosphere, and the service are all top notch! They will go out of their way to accommodate just about anything you ask for. The friendliness of the employees was warming. The food was delicious. And the seating was cozy. Anna rocked out as our server. She was pleasant, fun, and overall on-point with all of our complicated needs lol. I highly recommend this place for all reasons!
