No. But I did ear at Big Bad Breakfast a few weeks back. It was alright. I was expecting something more creative. It's basically biscuits, bacon, and eggs in various ways. I was expecting some options that at least make me think.

Well bbb is located across the street from the 5th or 6th best food in town which happens to be served from a service station, but from breakfast served from a run-down strip-mall, it's better than it sounds. Setting is crap but food is ok if you are willing to wade through the mass of humanity that is Saturday or Sunday morning for marginally decent food. It's not bad but I'm skipping if I see a crowd of 7 people or more and heading for ihop which probably has equally as good food but nobody wants to admit it.

BBB is not good. They somehow manage to mess up bacon. Honeybee used to make a good breakfast in Oxford but they've stopped doing it. Now your options are pretty much IHOP.

My tennis team played up there a couple of years ago. Most of the restaurants we ate at lived up to the hype. Big Bad Breakfast was the one exception. Very ordinary breakfast food at inflated prices and mediocre service.

Huddle House is better than BBB. I ate there once and the eggs has a plastic taste to them and yes, the bacon wasn't right either. Not breakfast but the best restaurant in town in Oyster and Seafood.

BBB shtick is that all there food is sourced locally. They grind their own flour for the biscuits, cure their own bacon, and grind their own sausage. The bacon is cured after being brined in a concoction that contains tobasco sauce , that's the strange taste you mentioned. Their sausage is bland and the biscuits are gritty due to the course ground flour. I have eaten there several times due to a friend who is friends with John the owner but I'm not impressed with the food. My wife says the coffee is excellent but not being a coffee drinker, I can't attest. John Currant has a bar out on hwy 7 that has the best fresh pork rinds I have ever eaten.

I actually enjoyed big bad breakfast. I like the bacon and I thought it had a unique flavor. It had like a spicy flavor.
