Big Bad Breakfast — the made-from-scratch breakfast concept from James Beard Award-winning Oxford, Miss., chef John Currence — has announced it will open its newest Birmingham-area restaurant on May 13 in Vestavia Hills.

The restaurant, the seventh Big Bad Breakfast in Alabama, is located at 1467 Montgomery Highway.

“I love Birmingham and am absolutely delighted at how much this city loves Big Bad Breakfast right back,” Currence said in a media release. “Opening in Vestavia Hills is really exciting for so many reasons.

“It’s a great community that we can’t wait to serve and be a part of, and also because it tells me that the reputation we’ve worked so hard to create and maintain in our two other stores around the city has resonated with folks.

“Folks across Alabama appreciate what BBB offers, and it just drives all of us so much to keep delivering on that promise of a great meal, a good time, and the best way to start your day.”

Currence opened the first Birmingham-area Big Bad Breakfast on U.S. 280 in 2014 and the second in Homewood four years later.

Elsewhere around Alabama, the restaurant also has locations in Florence, Madison, Mobile and Tuscaloosa.

Since opening the original Big Bad Breakfast in Oxford in 2008, Currence has grown the breakfast brand’s footprint to include 24 locations throughout the South, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Diners at the new Vestavia Hills location will get to try Big Bad Breakfast’s popular house-cured Tabasco and brown sugar bacon, scratch-made buttermilk biscuits, and Alabama’s own McEwen & Sons grits, according to the media release.

Some of Current’s specialty dishes include the Breakfast Crumble (a crumbled buttermilk biscuit with grits, tomato gravy, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, scallions and two eggs), the Breakfast Wrap (scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, pico de gallo, bell pepper and cheddar cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla), and the Fried Oyster Scramble “Hangover Style” (two eggs scrambled with bacon, onion, tomato, potatoes and topped with fried Gulf oysters and sliced jalapenos.)

The lunch menu includes a BLT, a ham po’ boy, a smashburger and the Screamin’ Demon (a pickle-brined fried chicken sandwich with Duke’s mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles, American cheese and comeback sauce).

Cocktails include mimosas, screwdrivers, Irish coffee and the Big Bad Bloody Mary.

Hours at the Vestavia Hills location of Big Bad Breakfast will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. For a sample menu, go here.
