Big Bad Breakfast

About Us

Big Bad Breakfast-Florence is your Southern scratch-made diner, located on the first floor of the historic Stricklin Hotel on Court Street in the heart of downtown Florence. Every dish is inspired by Michelin-recommended, James Beard Award-winning Chef John Currence and made with the same commitment to quality that's made BBB a destination across the South.

From scratch-made biscuits, gravies, jams, hot sauce, and custom-cured meats to locally roasted espresso, local honey, and local grits, every meal is crafted with care and served with genuine Southern hospitality. Whether you're joining us for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, you'll taste the difference fresh, scratch-made cooking makes.

Don't overlook lunch! Dig into our hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, juicy burgers, and crispy fried chicken sandwiches, all made with the same scratch-made quality that made us famous for breakfast.
