Some of the best breakfast on earth!

I am completely in love with this place. I eat at the biscuit 3-4 times per month, but would happily eat breakfast at this local favorite every day if I could. The french toast is incredible, and the biscuits are the best I have tasted, possibly because of the incredibly addictive apple butter served with them. Dont worry, no matter what you order on the breakfast menu, you get a biscuit and apple butter, so no one misses out! Food is very consistent from day to day and month to month. Service is attentive and quick, but as friendly as can be considering the work load these poor servers have on a busy morning. Beware, bacon and sausage lovers- they only have chicken sausage and turkey bacon, but in my opinion they are far better than their pork counterparts. Go check it out on a weekday morning if you want a shorter wait. Ill probobly be the guy sitting at the counter!
- Pros: Diverse menu, low cost, great atmosphere, fast
- Cons: Long waits mornings and weekends
No more BISCUIT with salad entree! That's the new economical policy at flying BISCUIT!!!

Last week, to my jaw-dropping surprise, the waitress announced to me that Flying Biscuit doesn't serve anymore the complementary biscuit with a salad entree order. Is it one of the consequences of recession? Anyway, if this is so, you lost a faithful customer Flying biscuit and many more to come, or, rather, not come any more...
- Pros: Used to be nice... nice memories...
- Cons: Restaurants getting frugal and chain-like ambiance!
Good food, iffy service

Food is good, kinda weird sometimes. Black Bean cakes are awesome. The service can be bad, hard to get seated.
yum to everything on the menu!

lets start with the delicous grits! smooth and flavorful with just the right seasoning. I lovegrits that are not grainy in texture and these just melt in your mouth. absolutely everything is an eclectic spin off of basic southern breakfast fair yet the subtle twists make you feel that you are eating healthy while over endulging in gloriously rich sumptous food.
- Pros: southern style breakfast food with healthy substitues
- Cons: service can be slow especially on weekend
Great Food, lackluster service

I love the food here. The biscuits are tremendous, as are the sandwiches. I usually get the 3B chicken sandwich, and it's what I recommend to everyone else. It's a good thing I don't live very close, or I'd be fat off of these biscuits and sandwiches. I have tried some of the casseroles and was less impressed, and some things I just didn't like at all. They have some good choices on the menu, but just be aware that not everything is as good as the best items on the menu. We regularly get the fried green tomatoes appetizer as well, and it's a good start to the meal. The only drawback at this location is the lackluster service. It can take a while to get your order taken. We've had two negative dining experiences there at the hands of a waitress named Olive. The first time she delivered our food to the wrong table, who ate it (and made us wait another 30 minutes for food without explanation). The second time, it just took forever to get our order, food, and check. I know that Flying Biscuit was bought out by Raving brands, but at locations like this they really need to focus on friendly and attentive service. Frankly I will continue to get takeout here but will probably avoid dining in. Nothing ruins my appetite like poor service.
- Pros: great food, mostly
- Cons: lazy service

A couple of my girl friends went to the flying biscuit last weekend, for a girl?s brunch. It was the weekend when it was snowing in Atlanta, so it was freezing. We get to the location and there were people lining the street and sidewalk waiting to be seated. It was COLD!!! Briefly, my girl friends and I considered leaving but we had heard so many great things about the restaurant we decided to stick it out. I AM SO GLAD WE DID!! The food was great. I am actually not a breakfast person but I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the piedmont omelet! Spectacular!!!!!! The portions were large and the food was fresh. I like my biscuits a bit sweet, which these are not, but they were good. It was so good we made plans to go back and try their lunch.
- Pros: Pros: great food, service
- Cons: Long waits (go early or when its not freezing), small

the food was pretty good. the biscuits however were not what they were all made out to be. the wait was really really long, and when we finally got a table, it took the server forever to get our order!
Surviving off its reputation now

I used to go to the Flying Biscuit in L5 in the late 90s...loved the food. Everything tasted so fresh, unique, and just plain ol good. But over the last couple of years I have been there sparingly, and each time, I left disappointed. Now the food didn't taste as good and I think the place was just surviving off of its reputation. The Moon Dusted Potatoes just didn't taste all that good and the biscuits were okay. And now they are expanding into a decent size chain. I guess its the inevitable...with more business comes drop in quality. I say go try it once just so you can say that you have been to the Flying Biscuit.
- Pros: Used to be a unique spot
- Cons: now I'd rather go to IHOP

The biscuits are very delicious. Small space. Sometimes long waits, but it's worth it. Great healthy alternatives for usual breakfast choices. Great for Sunday Brunch.
Excellent Food and Service

I would highly recommend The Flying Biscuit to anyone who can appreciate friendly and attentive service and a great big, delicious breakfast! I ordered the French toast and a side of grits when I went. The biscuit was tasty, as were the grits and the heaping pile of French toast. The service was great too.
- Pros: food, service
- Cons: parking
