When was the last time you had breakfast prepared by a James Beard Award winner? My wife and I heard a lot of positive things about Big Bad Breakfast and when we learned that the quaint breakfast/lunch eatery at 719 North Lamar Boulevard in Oxford, Mississippi, in the Mid Town Shopping Center, north of the historic Oxford Courthouse Square, was owned and operated by chef John Currence, who won the 2009 James Beard Foundation Award as Best Chef South while running his first restaurant, City Grocery on the Square, we knew we couldn't pass up an opportunity to sample the menu. Big Bad Breakfast specializes in house-cured tabasco-brown sugar bacon, crispy southern fried chicken, original Grit Girl grits, biscuits and Anson Mills steel cut oatmeal. Say no more. My wife had a Belgian waffle, a giant golden waffle topped with fried chicken and honey. She also had some house-cured bacon, toast and black coffee. I chose the Big Bad Breakfast skillet with three scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, onions, hash and cheddar cheese. With a fluffy black pepper buttermilk biscuit, a bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and fresh strawberries and a big glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Currence's breakfast concept is becoming very popular. He opened his Big Bad Breakfast in Oxford in 2008, then opened a location in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2013. He also has locations in Inlet Beach, Florida, Florence, Alabama, and Homewood, Alabama. In the future, he plans to open locations in Charleston, South Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee. John, how about Chicago?

Very disappointed that biscuit baker could not show up on a Sunday after a home football game to make the biscuits on the menu. Several of the breakfast specials feature biscuits! We arrived 20 minutes after they opened and were told there were no biscuits when we went to place our order. Our waiter told us it would be a 20 minute wait. We said we would wait. He came back after what seemed like 5 minutes to tell us the biscuits were not even in the oven. After that, I was very disappointed. I will probably never go back.

Seafood places, per se, don't seem to make it in Oxford for long, but this new one south of town might have the right mix of chic and shabby to make the cut. There's a wide selection of fish and seafood to choose from an, yes, there's catfish cooked multiple ways (including an interesting salad/dip appetizer) from Mississippi ponds. Medium-range pricing, and they're still learning their way around, but two trips in a week produced an improved experience overall the second time around.Sorry for the delayed response, but thank you for the great review! Hope to see y'all back in really soon!

Absolutely loved it. Came here for my birthday this morning. Had an omelette and opted for the cheese grits. Iâve never liked grits before but officially do now. Never thought to put cheese. #Hooked on grits. My husband loved the coffee. Canât beat the prices.Thanks so much, Cyndi! We are so glad you enjoyed it. And we hope you had an excellent birthday!

I had a bagel with lox and cream cheese, which was fine. My friend had a bagel sandwich with chicken salad that she described as tasting like it had dirt in it. We thought the prices were a bit high for standing in line to order and fixing your own drink.
