Flying bisque, we found this gem several months ago and have eaten there several times over the time. Biscuits are delicious, well worth the time. This visit my wife and I shared the biscuit and gravy with a side of their apple wood smoked bacon. If you are a big eater the dish will be filling. If not share the goodness like we did. They have several different coffee options and I like the mocha latte so far., my wife loves their Chai. Service is always good and they seem happy to have you there. read more

We made a reservation for 8 at 1 pm. They seated us by the door and the hostess stand which isn't an issue but it was chilly, busy and we were forgotten. We came to celebrate my girls birthdays and while the server was kind, she was busy. No water refills, had to ask for the right number of plates for biscuits, bacon was dropped on the floor--which they replaced. I'm sure the staff was wiped after the big WIN last night but the way others talked about it my expectation was higher. I will say we did enjoy the food but my truffle fries forgot the truffle. I'd give it another chance but set my expectations accordingly. read more

We visited for the first time recently after attending a film nearby. We seemed to hit it at a lull so were quickly seated. Our waitress was warm and did a great job keeping tabs on us during our visit. I got the breakfast burrito with fruit on the side. The burrito was Huge and with as many different ingredients inside, it wasn't very flavorful, which was odd. I definitely had leftovers to take home. The fruit was good and fresh. My spouse got the classic Benedict with grits. She thought both were just okay, but the eggs were beyond poached. We each got a biscuit on the side, which were disappointing. Both were smaller than expected and not fluffy. I wondered how fresh they were. So we've been there, done that, and don't know if there's really enough to entice us to return. read more

We came here for a late brunch after getting off the airport. They do have a Yelp waitlist, which made things easier since we didn't have a reservation. Most of the staff seemed college-age, and while friendly, the service wasn't very attentive. I ordered the chai latte, but it was overly sweet and too creamy--I couldn't finish it. For food, I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked to my liking and, while not the best cut, it was flavorful and tender. Great scrambled eggs. The grits, on the other hand, were too creamy for my taste. As for the "moon dusted" potatoes, they were underwhelming--just lightly salted with nothing really special about them. Overall, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. Some things were tasty, others not so much. read more

Nice outdoor seating. Our waitress was attentive and friendly in spite of the busy time. I got the hot honey butter chicken and waffles and was not a fan... it tasted like an acidic buffalo sauce when I expected more of a hot honey that blended better with the waffle... My husband got the Wake Up burger was a solid 4 for both of us. Juicy, loaded and delicious. One nice perk is that they gave us a free biscuit and apple butter that was good! read more

Went back again this afternoon for a later brunch and they were fully jam packed but we barely waited 5 mins for a table, our waiter was so kind and helpful and checked in on us many times, and our food came out quickly. Also I tried something new and got the Freebird Benedict and it was amazing. Perfect biscuit, super crispy chicken, and the sausage gravy hits every time. My friends got stuffed French toast and pancakes and said they were amazing. Already left a review once but wanted to come back again just to hype up the quality and service because it was truly stellar today. read more

I'm never disappointed with the food at this place. Although I always visit their Brier Creek location, this location has gained a new customer! I went on a Tuesday so there were no long wait times to be seated. Our waitress was very attentive which is a plus. The inside was chill as always. It does seem a bit smaller than the Brier Creek location, but it's not a deal breaker. Things to mention: They have a great smoothie selection & kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree. read more

I thought I learned my lesson for my last visit to the flying biscuit a few months ago. I put a post up and only gave a decent star review because they resolved the issue I had. The service was horrific. They completely missed my meal while the other seven people in my party ate So I took a friend there today for breakfast while we were in the neighborhood and the waitress was actually very nice and very helpful. Same with the hostess. The ambience is nice and it wasn't nearly as packed as the last time I went and had a horrific experience But I have to say, the food was very disappointing. The scrambled eggs we both had were very dry and I tried the chicken sage sausage, which sounded so delicious. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into it. Sadly, the sausage was so overcooked half of them were hard as a rock And had to really chew my way through them and I did not appreciate that. I'm pretty confident now. I've made my last visit to this restaurant. It will definitely not recommend it and will definitely not return. "Scrambled eggs and sausage"? How much easier could a breakfast be? read more

As soon as you walk in, you greeted with a smile! We have come here about four times now and have not been disappointed, not even once. The flavor is really good! I've had the pancake tacos. We've also had the steak and eggs. The grits are amazing. The only thing that I think is just average is their potatoes I would add more seasoning to the potato along with maybe some green peppers or red peppers and onions would make those potatoes pop! We look forward to going back just to try the different things on the menu would totally recommend the flying biscuit read more

Busy location, but they have a waitlist you can join through Yelp to cut down on your wait time. I did this and had maybe a 3 minute wait when I arrived at the restaurant. We did ask to sit outside since we'd have to wait longer waiting for a table inside. Full transparency...the inside is small and LOUD. They have a decent amount of tables, but everything is so close together and the noise echoes. Just a heads up if you do eat outside... The outside tables under the roof are not the greatest. They had bars near where your legs go, so it was very easy to keep knocking into the table with your leg and spill drinks. Now on to the food... The biscuits are always A+. You can't go wrong with them. I ordered one of their specials for July - Firework Fruit Pancake. I'm a huge pancake fan, but the raspberry sauce kind of knocked my rating down of it. Service was fine. If you like biscuits, The Flying Biscuit is the perfect breakfast/brunch place for you. read more

If you're looking for some good Southern cooking/ Southern breakfast, look no further than Flying Biscuit Cafe where every meal gets a fresh made from scratch biscuit with apple butter spread! Loaded grits are a specialty here. They get very busy on weekends but the tables turn around quickly. Busy and bubbling vibe throughout. This specific location is right in Chapel Hill,NC much closer to residential neighborhoods than the university #chapelhill #breakfast #southern read more

I don't usually do bad reviews but when I don't finish the food, someone needs to know why. The place is clean, the service is good, our waitress was super nice! The food, BLAND! No flavor what so ever. The only thing that was good were the biscuits & the apple butter. The food sounds good on the menu, it even looks good when they bring it out, but as far as taste goes... salt & pepper can't save it. Not even the hot sauce. The waffle wasn't sweet, had no type of flavor. The "hot" chicken, was not spicy but also bland. The gravy over the waffle and the chicken would've been good if they used salt when cooking it. Eggs were just eggs... the place wasn't full and I see why. This was the second time I've been to a flying biscuit. I will not be back, at least to this location. Maybe other locations will have more flavor to their food. read more

Lovely food and appreciated my server. management is A1, and the vibes are solid throughout

Nice little breakfast spot in the old University Mall. Clean and inviting interior with outdoor seating too. Very friendly and quick service. I came for the $5 special the had today. And by the taste of the food and the items on the menu I will be back. It's one of the healthier breakfast options with chicken sausage and no-nitrate bacon. The prices are reasonable too. I had the High Flyer breakfast which comes with a biscuit and cranberry apple butter. I got the Belgian waffle option and had my eggs scrambled. The chicken sausage was tasty but the highlight was the grits that come a cheese, possibly a white cheddar, yummy. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

This place is great. We have been to other Flying Biscuits, and the only negative thing about this one is they don't serve alcohol and my boyfriend likes to have a mimosa with breakfast sometimes. Today we went to this location for the second time and it was great again. I had the breakfast tacos which were fantastic and had three dipping sauces! He had the southern scramble and really liked that as well. It wasn't super busy but everything was still faster than we expected. We will definitely be back. read more

This is my second visit to Flying Bisquit Cafe. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It's simple and tasty. The eggs I ordered were over easy and cooked with enough yolk left to dip my biscuit. And the bacon was cooked well but not super crispy. The grits are the star attraction for me. They are creamy and smooth almost with a whip consistency. The staff is friendly and attentive and the place is clean and well lit. read more

OMG do not pass this up when in town. The ambiance is a very chill, happy vibe with indoor and outdoor seating options. They start you out with some amazing buttery biscuits and apple butter. I don't know about you but my life is happier with a good biscuit. And I cannot begin to describe how good the grits are! We also tried the Dirty Bird chicken and waffle which was so large my 17 year old son couldn't finish. Super great service and food! read more

This place is outstanding!! My husband and I visited on Father's Day around noon and there was no wait! I was shocked given it was technically a holiday. Better for us! Anyways, we got seated within minutes, and our server (Brittany) came around super quickly as well. She put in our drink order - I got a small OJ and was back within 5 ish minutes with a plate of sweet biscuits. OMG. These were absolutely delicious. My husband & I were craving something sweet, and this checked it off the list. Anyways, for brunch, my husband ordered chicken & waffles with gravy I believe which he loved. and I ordered a Tofu Veggie Wrap which was okay but still good. Overall, the experience and food were great, and I would definitely come back again. Shout out to Brittany! read more

Food was great! The place was busy for a Sunday morning. Only thing I would complain about if anything is the people coming in wouldn't close the door so the cold air would come and make use feel a little cold. Overall experience was good. Would come back. read more

This cute spot has not shortage of friendliness and good service. With options like breakfast tacos (and some with pancake shells) it's a great spot to come in and have some good breakfast/brunch. There are a couple sweet French toast options, not really my style, but if you like those, this could be your spot! Pros: online waitlist checkin on Yelp, plenty of menu options great service Cons: no mimosas, or any other alcoholic beverages. Small dining area, not many spots for parties larger than four. read more

The restaurant was fairly busy so it took close to 10 minutes for our waitress to take our order. After placing our order, drinks and food arrived quickly. Unfortunately most of the chicken and my husband and I received with our orders was burned. We did not address the issue with the waitress because most of the chicken on places passing by is looked similarly cooked. The waffle and the biscuits were okay. read more

We came here on a rainy Sunday morning while exploring the area for a potential move. It was not quite 10 a.m, and I was surprised there was no wait, although it got much busier while we were there! Amber was a wonderful server, and the whole experience hit the spot. I had a cappuccino, and the breakfast tacos, which were everything I needed that morning! My husband had some chicken and waffle combo that left him satisfied as well. The only thing that would've made this experience perfect was a mimosa, or bloody Mary, but that's probably the Denver in me wanting a boozy brunch. We left full, and content and cannot wait to return to the Flying Biscuit when we move to NC! read more

Came in around 1pm on a Sunday and we were seated immediately! The inside was smaller than I expected, but I loved the colorful walls and tables. The menu is a bit overwhelming as it's quite long and huge, but we decided to go with the hot chicken and waffles, three amigos breakfast tacos, and the strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast. We got some free biscuits with berry compote before the rest of our dishes came out, and I must say these biscuits were so fluffy and delicious! They came out warm, and I loved that there was a bit of sugar on the top to give it a sweeter outside. Our food came out pretty quickly. My favorite was the hot chicken and waffles -- I love a good chicken tender, and I found the spice level to be perfect. The waffle was a bit soggy, but that's probably hard to avoid with this dish. The breakfast tacos looked pretty unassuming, but they were flavorful despite not having a lot of toppings on them. Our side of potatoes were pretty plain though, and the grits didn't stand out to me :/ The stuffed French toast was creative and tasty, and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. Our waitress (shoutout Britney!), who was kind and attentive to our table, also brought us a free pancake to try since the kitchen was experimenting with batter. It was cool to be able to give our feedback and feel included in this experiment! Overall, I thought the food here was tasty and decent, but I didn't find it to be anything special. Loved the service here though, everyone was super kind :) read more

Breakfast here was fantastic, and Isis played a big role in making it such a great experience. She was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. Isis was quick to refill drinks, kept everything running smoothly, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without ever being overbearing. Great service, great food, and an overall wonderful visit. The chicken here is wonderful and the shrimp wraps here are delightful too. Highly recommend! read more

Marvelous branch of this growing franchise. I enjoyed a basic breakfast (eggs, bacon, creamy dreamy grits, and biscuit) while my companion ordered a grits bowl, which is massive. The grits are indeed creamy--buttery in consistency--while the biscuits come to your table warm with a small serving of apple butter. If you want butter or jam, you'll need to request it. Biscuits are lightly dusted with sugar. Our server was fast, efficient, and friendly, which was great on a day when rain was bucketing down. The tables closer to the front door are a bit noisy, so ask for one at the back if you plan a quiet conversation. read more

Good tasting food but have these people ever considered cleaning the floor. Looking down took my appetite away. Won't be going back.

Great portion sizes, yummy food! I got the hangover hash which had a load of breakfast potatoes, chorizo, beans, chicken tenders, and two eggs! A bit on the saltier side though. It also came with a side biscuit which was tasty. The meal was delicious, but a little pricey to me. I feel like there was too much potato and not enough chicken. This is a good spot to visit once, but I don't know if I will be that compelled to come back. read more

This was our first time visiting the Flying Biscuit Cafe. It was highly recommended by a friend that joined us for breakfast. The ambience of the cafe is great. I love the color scheme of the decor and quietness of the environment. We ordered the Chicken & Waffle along with the Flying Biscuit Breakfast. The menu items were tasty. The grits are creamy, the biscuits and waffle were fluffy and chicken sage sausage was delicious. We especially enjoyed the apple butter. It paired well with the biscuits. I do wish that the chicken had more seasoning. The addition of some type of spice or herb would've made the meal even better. All of the staff members were very friendly throughout our visit. We plan to return to try other menu items. read more

I went with my family and service was amazing! The hostess I think her name was Josie or Julia and she was the sweetest little thing.

This was our first time at this location of flying biscuit and we went mainly because I had a gift card from winning a radio station contest. We went semi-early on a Sunday and it was already pretty full, and then the waits got longer after that. Most of the staff seem to be college-age and are energetic and active. We sat inside and don't know if there was a problem with the AC or not because it was a little warm. We enjoyed the complimentary biscuits, and I had the chorizo hash while my wife had the smoked salmon omelet. Our minor complaint was that there could have been more salmon in her dish. Anyway, it was a positive experience and this place seems to be very popular, at least for weekend breakfast/brunch. read more
