The Flying Biscuit Cafe

Solid place for lunch. We didn't have a wait on a Thursday. Service was fantastic, although our server Faith looked a little frazzled like it had been a busy morning and was also training someone at the time. Still, very good. She kept us informed on the status of our food and our drinks were always topped off, which was very nice. Food was good. Everything we had was good, and not your standard recipe. Loaded cheese grits were delicious. Parmesan truffle fries are fried in truffle oil (and you can tell, it's great!) but not nearly cheesy enough, like the parmesan was garnish and not an important part of the dish. Bacon is very crispy 😍😋 They do a police/service discount, a pleasant surprise.

So got say the food , staff and the place itself is pretty good especially for the prices. Made the mistake of thinking the portions were small since saw someone’s food plate not knowing that theirs was half ( got it in two plates idk at time) so I ordered Piedmont Omelette and a chicken wrap since eat breakfast and take lunch to go. The omelette was good but honestly the biscuit and potatoes were the stars of meal for me. As for the wrap it was good since it didn’t fall apart like some places do and the chicken was very tasty with the bacon. If you are looking for some good breakfast and also a place near many other things to walk to after eating to walk the food off ,great location.

We had a pretty good experience. Be prepared to wait a bit. This seems to be pretty popular amongst locals. We were seated after about 30 minutes on a Saturday morning. Service was great and food was pretty good. I enjoyed my omelette and the gravy was better than expected. I think it’s made with chicken as opposed to sausage. My wife loved her combination. For some reason plates were hot, but grits weren’t as hot in temperature as we would’ve liked. We’re definitely going back to try other menu items.

I will give them another shot in the future, but hit a few bumps on the first go. The menu is excellent, but the execution needs a lot of work. Thought it was cool that they sourced the sugar caddies from a local artist. Tofu scramble: 0/10 Definitely not a tofu scramble. They need to work on this dish with a vegan consultant. Over-marinated tofu, texture was all wrong, cubed pieces instead of scrambled crumble, brown, just clearly not thought through at all. Awful execution. Had to send it back. Showed the waitress what a tofu scramble is supposed to look like and her response was “see, now that looks appetizing.” Benny: 5/10 she said it was fine, but plain. Said the hollandaise seemed like it came from a can.

Absolutely LOVED it!! The food was so good we will definitely be back. The biscuit was delicious, the grits were perfect, and the creme anglaise was to die for (I made sure to take some to go regardless of the extra charge). The service was stellar, we had a great server (shout out to Faith) and she made sure our waters were full, coffee was hot, and experience was the best. Would recommend!!
