Maybe the best biscuit I’ve ever eaten. And I’ve had a few!

Awesome. Will definitely be returning. No indoor seating for my 82 year old mother but got lucky outside.

We stopped here for lunch when in town due to the reviews. There are a couple outdoor tables and a few inside but the inside ones are currently closed. The place itself is cute with a vintage vibe. Staff are nice. The menu is small but offers a good range of options. I had the chicken salad sandwich, which was tasty. I only wish the chicken had been shredded instead of chunked. It was a little dry because the big chunks don’t hold onto enough mayo. The biscuit was great though. My husband had a biscuit of the day which was covered in a maple and bacon topping. Our teenage son had biscuits and gravy. It was a great lunch overall, though we had to eat it in our car. If I had known about the lack of seating, I would have planned a picnic spot. Anyway, if I were in the area again, I would definitely return. I highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Very, very pretentious. People are rude and make you feel like you're an inconvenience for ordering. Food is mediocre at best, and expensive. Almost $6 for 1 biscuit and ¾ cup of gravy, and it's clear that everything is from a mix. I went here 2x in case the people I met the 1st time were just having a bad day, but had the same experience both times.Update 5/21/22:My partner wanted biscuits and gravy this morning and so we went back around 11:15am. When he asked for biscuits and gravy, we were told that if we wanted gravy, we should've gotten up earlier. He got a ham biscuit instead and when he paid by card, she said she was "waiting for you to add the tip." The only options for a tip were 20%, 25% and 30%. That's outrageous, both the options and her attitude. No idea why these people act like that.

The breakfast sandwiches are really good, but between the experience of ordering (often overly pretentious) and a short, but odd hours of serving, it’s not a place I think of often recommending to people. I’ve gone several times and only half the time are they actually open.Two things I don’t get: why you are still requiring masks and why the ‘owner’ is so patronizing and rude to people who leave negative reviews on here? Be the bigger person.

Great place for a hearty biscuit sandwich and coffee. Recommend the egg cheese country ham biscuit sandwich. Currently no room to sit inside though. Couple of small tables outside.

The veggie sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit was bussin’! I’m tempted to eat the one I bought my wife. Should’ve gotten coffee instead of the latte. Latte was overpriced and wasn’t that great. Will visit again! ??$$$ Pricey $$$

You won't find better biscuits than you will here. They're amazing food but the service is lackluster. A word of caution also. If you're a "person of color" you might have to wait an extra 30 min for your food. 30 min should be enough time to make a new batch of eggs but you might get a smaller amount than usual. No big deal though, if you're white you should be fine ??

Best biscuits in town! Biscuits are so yummy and large in size. You can get with their homemade jam or make a breakfast sammy. Super friendly staff, follow on social to see what their unique biscuit or treat is everyday ? They also support and serve local Blanchards coffee, so I’m usually here once a week for a biscuit and coffee!

Good but not extraordinary biscuits. Atmosphere and service really great
