Flying Biscuit

Owner

The original location of The Flying Biscuit on McLendon Avenue is nestled among funky Craftsman bungalows in the heart of Historic Candler Park, and has remained one of Atlanta's favorite spots for brunch since it opened in 1993. The Flying Biscuit Cafe recipes have endured since we opened our doors thanks to the diligence of our employees and the returns of our customers. Try one of our "favorites," like the Turkey Meatloaf & Pudge or the Vegan Burrito. And, of course, there is our famous breakfast, with dishes like Orange Flavored French Toast and omelets named after local streets, and most importantly, our mouth watering biscuits. Be sure to visit the bakery right next door, so you can pick up biscuits for the road.

The Scene
A sunflower mural, funky hand-painted crockery and mismatched vinyl tablecloths set the tone in this cheerful New-Age cafe. Large plate-glass windows flood the restaurant with sunlight. Unfinished floor planks creak as friendly, low-key servers thread their way through the crowded, small rooms.

The Food
All-day breakfasts and weekend brunches are the star attractions at this extremely popular Candler Park cafe. The Flying biscuit breakfast--two eggs, turkey sausage, grits or potatoes, and an enormous, pillowy biscuit--is a tasty standard. More inventive is the Meggxican wrap: scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and Serrano peppers folded into a flour tortilla and topped with salsa and sour cream. Excellent orange-scented French toast, served with raspberry compote and creme anglaise, is also fortunately available in half orders. A tasty slab of turkey meat loaf served with "pudge"--smashed potatoes with sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil--makes for a solid lunch or dinner entree.
