About Silly Sausage
Cooked breakfasts set the pace at Silly Sausage, a daytime cafe in Birmingham where plates are built from eggs, bacon, sausage, hash, mushroom and beans. The breakfasts come in a range of sizes, from a medium plate up to the largest, "The big one", so appetites of different sizes get a version that suits, and tea or coffee is included with the meal. Toast is ordered as a side rather than arriving on the plate, and fresh orange juice runs alongside. The cafe keeps to an old-fashioned greasy spoon format with basic decor, and tables are served by a team of counter staff. There is no booking, so customers simply walk in. A step-free entrance makes the room reachable for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs mean families with young children can sit down together. Tables outside give the option of eating in the open air. Doors open daily, with service running through the daytime.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the big breakfast, with "The Big One" named by one diner as great value and others describing a choice of three sizes, a medium one called delicious, and tea or coffee included. Close behind is the staff, repeatedly called friendly and lovely, along with the value, which several describe as reasonable. Diners list eggs, bacon, hash, mushrooms and beans, and single out the fresh orange juice and the tea. One reviewer, short on sausages, was given several rashers of bacon instead, and the toast came as a side. Some call it a good old fashioned greasy spoon, while another describes a quiet atmosphere and a clean, well presented room. One reviewer, however, calls the food disgusting, singling out the eggs and toast, says bread was left outside the toilets, and reports feeling unwell after a few bites. That account stands alone against the rest, which are consistently positive. Several say they plan to return, and one mentions parking out front.
