I was sadly underwhelmed in every way by these biscuits. I arrived at a quiet moment before a big rush, but it still took over 10 minutes to slightly warm one biscuit that only had a spread of butter on it. I wasn't asking for fresh cooked biscuit sandwiches or anything like that. The space is cute, but it is really poorly laid out. The pick-up area is right in the middle of the seating, so people are stuck doing that awkward dance of always trying to stay out of the way, but always being in it. They had at least 7 folks working, but it didn't speed anything up, they all seemed to be doing the same "I'm in everybody's way" dance that the customers on the other side of the counter were doing. I can put up with that if the food is good, but everyone in my group that had a bite of these biscuits hated it. I got the honey one, and I can say that the one bite where I actually got a taste of the honey wasn't bad. Otherwise it was bland, it was hard, it was just not very good. The butter smear on it was cold, rather than melted in, and they used unsalted butter it tasted like, which would be fine if the biscuits were more flavorful, and not just a tasteless crumbly mess. This was a major disappointment, especially at $4 a biscuit. read more

What in the flavorless hell did I order?! From the pics, the biscuits look great and who can resist wanting a "Butterhole" biscuit. Sounds MF delicious. Yet, it wasn't. How can you mess up a biscuit? Whoever thought of this recipe probably only seasons their chicken with pepper. It's like if LaCroix made biscuits. Smells like biscuits, tastes like nothing. These biscuits are big and bland. I thought the egg and Tillamook plus chicken sausage would help, nope. It's like any of those barely there flavors get blanketed by the nothing-tasting biscuit. I ate parts of it and I'm full because the biscuit pieces I ate were filling but my tastebuds are like wtf just happened? I'm literally craving more food after eating this because I need flavor! Then for the ginormity of the biscuits (bought 2) you give 1 strawberry jam packet?!!! Thankfully I purchased a side of bacon, this helped me get through the ordeal and was the only thing with flavor aside from the jam packet. Honest biscuits, I was honestly expecting more from you. Please revisit this flavorless biscuit recipe, Seattle tastebuds are counting on you. read more

The food was good, but there is something to being nice. The staff weren't friendly in any way. We were greeted with a stare and nothing else. His one sentence through the entire interaction was "They're all biscuits " with an eye roll. read more

They use good ingredients but I'm not a fan of the ratios they use. Their basic biscuits are great. I like the default one, and the peach one tastes like a nice scone. I appreciate their gluten free option, but I have not tried it. I was not a fan of the MacGregor, the meat ratio seemed wrong. The sandwiches I've had though have been constantly too dry. The ham one was just bad, I thought it would have ham deli cold cuts and instead it was like terrible Canadian bacon. The chicken one had potential but was too dry and ended more sauce. All the sandwiches I've tried were too dry. The biscuits are better tasting than Serious Pie & Biscut's, but unless they rework their sandwiches I'd recommend Serious over this place. read more

Not really good... Biscuit was hard.. nothing seemed to have any flavor... The name is great but you might want to pass on this for breakfast.. the view outside is great!! read more

Oh boy, come hungry or be prepared to share. The breakfast biscuits with eggs and sausage were a lot bigger than we are used to... the place really lives up to their name, the biscuits were yummy and a great way to start off our day. Of course, come lunchtime we were still full. Not a lot of seating, but we managed to snag seats in front of the window overlooking the water. read more

Honest Biscuit is my piece of sanity before work. I love enjoying a Beecher's Cheddar biscuit and some strawberry jam. The cheddar is sharp and they use freezer jam. The perfect size to satiate me before a long evening of running around at my job. Upside is also the location. You can enjoy the breeze off of Elliott Bay and tunes from Old Stove (think 70's punk Richard Hell, The Nerves, Modern Lovers). Easily my favorite biscuit in Seattle. read more

What a great experience Honest Biscuits has to offer. Located in the beautiful pike place market. Beautiful views surround this restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with a mimosa. The very best biscuit I've ever had! It truly is all about the biscuit here and it does not disappoint. Crispy almost crunchy on the outside and warm and moist on the inside. Perfect combination and ratio of cheese and the bacon was delicious and crispy. The mimosa was made with the freshest squeezed oranges served in a cold glass. I admire the hustle here. Hard working people making very good food. The menu is small but full of flavor. There is something for everyone here. I prefer this restaurant over its completion any day. Biscuit Bitch for instance, long lines full of people who want to bitch and just say the word bitch. Not here...less stressful atmosphere, good scenery, and good wholesome honest biscuits. Thank you HB!!! read more

Food here is delicious. They have a lot of different options and I've gotten something different every time I've come. They also have a great location over looking the water. I believe the owner is from North Carolina (there's several NC decorations around the restaurant). As a former NC resident I love going here! read more

The biscuits are dry. The sausage patty was more like a hockey puck. They charged me for water despite having free waters on the side ready to give out (cashier could've pointed those out to me out of courtesy but you know, make that money and waste plastic.. I guess?" . The mimosa was disgusting, I get that you make it with fresh real orange juice but seriously it was the tiniest cup of trash I've ever had. Latte was burnt and had no flavor. Whole place is overpriced. They don't take cash payments. Go somewhere else. read more

The concept is good, but the execution needs a bit of finesse. I found my biscuit over baked and on the crusty side. The biscuit overwhelmed the innards - egg, cheese bacon. Pretty dry experience. Maybe I should have asked for extra mayo? And it was 8 am. No line but I wonder why the sandwich didn't get a tad more attention. I have high hopes for this place. The setting is amazing. Biscuits with a view! If they could pull those critters out a bit sooner and softer it would please my finicky palate. For the time being I will wait and try again in a month. But visitors - check it out. I had just one and it really was OK. It is an excellent addition to the new Market expansion. When in Pioneer Square check out Biscuit Bitch. Now that's a mean biscuit. They got it going on there but expect lines after they open. And they open an hour earlier than Honest B. read more

Delicious fresh food. Gravy smothering the biscuits. The crab melt hot and cheesy. Fresh orange juice. Great view of the bay. Great Seattle breakfast. read more

Their customer service was really disappointing and seemingly selective. I took their offer to get the biscuits to go to avoid the wait for the half hour wait for the oven. I was so confused to see people before and after me get their orders before me and found myself waiting for a while. They kept saying they were short staffed but I still saw them give an employee's family get preferential treatment, saying their drink would go into a different line so it'd be faster, even had oat milk brought out to the front. But when I asked about my food, they told me in a rude tone that it all went in the same line. It took multiple follow ups for them to figure out they put my food in the oven anyways, even though I said at the beginning I wanted it just off the shelf. I was the last in the morning rush to get my food, which were nothing fancy, just biscuits, without even an apology from them on the confusion. The biscuits were fine, but not worth the wait. This is sadly one of the places in Pike Place that tourists flock to (for no clear reason, there's plenty of great local eats), and this place doesn't really know how to handle the volume. Tourists, please stop coming here. read more

Absolutely delectable. Their menu is more limited than Biscuit Bitch, down the road BUT they have the benefit of being ON the waterfront. They have a gorgeous outdoor sitting area so you can watch the ferry boats coming in and out while enjoying some delicious biscuit sammys and Grits! You can also order online for pickup with an extremely quick turnover unlike the hour-plus wait up the street. And, at a more affordable price, coming here is a no-brainer. The staff is extremely speedy and friendly as well. read more

I was shocked when I saw this only had 3 stars and didn't want to believe it. When you walk in it smells amazing! So much flavor so we figured it would be amazing. Now, we are from the south so we eat a lot of biscuits and may be spoiled but his just didn't do it for us. It was good. Nothing amazing just good. Sadly they serve in a styrofoam to go container so it was very hard to eat. The biscuit was good but huge and a little dry. Overall we are glad we went but won't go rushing back. read more

THE BEST BISCUIT I'VE EVER HAD! I ordered the Pike Place with butter and jam and oh my was that pure decadence. Not only was the biscuit incredibly tasteful, but the jam was incredibly high quality. If you're ever in the area this is a must-go place! And you also get an amazing view to go with your biscuit-- win, win! read more

The yummiest and fluffiest biscuits around. My husband and I shared the Lemon and the Macgregor. I highly recommend. Service was superb- friendly and positive. Please go for a visit read more

GLUTEN FREE FOLKS BEWARE: I ordered 4 biscuits for my group via the online system. I ordered one gluten-free butterhole (for me. I have a gluten allergy, and was excited to finally have a gluten free option), a regular butterhole, and 2 pike place biscuits. When I picked up the order, I noticed that the two butterholes were not labeled, so I went back to ask which one was gluten free. The girl said neither were, I had ordered two regular ones. I had her check the system and she realized I was correct, and she was supposed to give me a gluten free one. She did not apologize, took away the second butterhole instead of letting me keep it for my group, and then had me wait 5-10 minutes for a gluten free one. In my opinion, she should have refunded me for one scone, or at least given me the extra one. The customer service was not great, and I urge all gluten free customers to be wary. read more

There's a reason Biscuit Bitch had a line & this place is empty. Fool that I am I didn't want to wait in the rain and came here. And if the story I read is correct & the proprietor is using his NC mother's recipe she would smack him upside the head with one of these dry ol crusty things. Even gravy couldn't save it. I'm from PNW and I make s better sausage gravy. Old southern recipes my ass read more

This is my new go to lunch place in the market, they make THE tastiest biscuits i have EVER had!!! We visited here as part of a tasting tour and i just had to come back afterwards to purchase some goodies to take home and i was fortunate enough to meet the owner a shy young man who just wanted to share his grandmas amazing biscuits with the world. I purchased some of the aged chedder biscuits and a apple cinnamon roll and som rachel the pig dog biscuits for my two mutts. I can't wait to bring my next lot of out of town visitors here. read more

I have no idea why there are bad reviews about this place. The food was delicious. I could definitely appreciate their twist on certain items. I had the "fried" chicken biscuit sandwich, sausage egg and cheese, and I also tried a honey biscuit. The only one I didn't particularly care for was the fried chicken biscuit. I didn't care for the sauce. I can still appreciate what they were trying to do. Customer service was a little bland for my taste but my brother says it's not usually like that. It has a nice location with a beautiful view. I can not wait to visit again and explore more of their menu! read more

Honest Biscuits - Biscuit with jam - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Let me preface this by saying I am originally from Southern Louisiana, so I am always curious whenever a restaurant advertises "southern style" food. In the case of Honest Biscuits, I am talking about their "biscuits with southern style gravy," which I had for lunch today. First the good news: the biscuits were fantastic. Fluffy but still substantial, and had a really pleasant buttermilk taste. Now to the reason for concern: the gravy was terrible; definitely made without an understanding of what traditional southern sausage gravy should be. There were chunks of what I suppose was sausage, but had no flavor whatsoever. The gravy itself tasted like microwaved cream and flour with absolutely no seasoning, with the "sausage" chunks thrown in as an afterthought. To anyone that asks, I call Washington my home (been here since 2004), but I was slightly offended as a Southerner to have the word "southern" attached to their interpretation of one of my favorite childhood dishes. read more

This place is pretty average. Got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit. The ratio of filling to biscuit is crazy- WAY to much biscuit! And the biscuit itself was pretty bland, and I could DEFINITELY taste baking powder, and seemed to have little to no salt. The fruit (which was $6, btw) was a to-go cup with some cut up melon in it. Seasonal fruit my ass, lol, come now. My spouse got the chicken biscuit. Shrug. Also average, also bland. Won't be eating here again. read more

The GF biscuit was good. BUT, with the regular biscuit, if you get cheese on it, it's $0.25 extra, for the GF biscuit the A**HOLE working the counter charged me $2.00 more. He couldn't explain the discrepancy, and he didn't acknowledge the issue. Then it took 11 minutes to receive the biscuit . . . other orders were done in only a few minutes. Well, I'd say GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, A**HOLES! You overcharged the F out of me then made me wait really long without explanation nor apology. Very irritating overall: I should leave feeling happy but here I just felt pissed off. read more

You know, I'd kind of forgotten that I already tried Honest Biscuits. I stopped at their stall at Pike Place and ordered an EGG, BACON AND CHEESE sandwich. Unfortunately, the biscuit is as I remember from the last time, which is dense and extremely dry. It's just not for me. I prefer a buttery, flakey biscuit. read more

Honest Biscuits - Egg, Bacon and Cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was completely underwhelmed by this food. The biscuits (butterhole) were big and fluffy on the inside, but totally bland and dry on the outside. Extremely difficult to eat. After a few bites I couldn't help but wonder what the point was. Why was I still eating this? Am I that hungry? The county ham was rubbery and bland. I imagine ham being a salty flavor bomb. Not an obstacle. Good thing it was difficult to to chew or else I would have thought it was completely missing from the sandwich. The most flavorful thing on the sandwich I had was the mayonnaise. That was the only thing I could taste. It was the only thing that had taste. The gravy tasted like nothing. How do you make nothing gravy? Butter, water, flour? How do you honestly make something like this and not notice how flavorless it is? Just white goop. Pale lubricant to make the biscuit a little more palatable. Kale slaw looked old. The red cabbage looked like it had been cut a while ago and was turning brown. It took me a while to recognize the little brown orange bits as carrot shavings. I really feel ashamed for eating this, but I was hungry and didn't want to completely waste my money. I won't be eating here again. 3 stars because 2.5 isn't available. It wasn't offensive. Just aggressively mediocre. read more

I was wandering around Pike Place on a Saturday morning when I took what my friend insisted was a "wrong turn", imagine my delight when we stumbled onto a biscuit restaurant hidden away off of the main thoroughfare of the market. I am what you might call a fan of carbs so I was already about a 9/10 on the Stoked Meter. When I saw the description of the MacGregor biscuit (Bavarian Meats Bacon, Beecher's Flagship Cheese, and caramelized onions) that ratcheted up to approximately a 15/10. I provide this preface not just because a narrative form is more fun to write, but to thoroughly emphasize how much I wanted this place to be great. Honestly even if it was only very good I would have considered it great. Unfortunately, the best I can say is that it was... okay. I didn't find the biscuit to be bad by any means, but it was fairly dry and not particularly flavorful. If you are in Pike Place and have a serious craving for a biscuit then I would recommend it, but if you are in that very specific circumstance and found an eatery specializing in biscuits I have to think you'd take the plunge and give it a shot regardless of what I think. If you are in any other circumstances I would recommend that you give something else a shot. read more

You guys, this place is pretty terrible. Perhaps they have so much one-off business being in the market that they don't have to be worry about repeat customers? I hate writing bad reviews but I want to warn you not to waste your time! If you like Morsel or Seattle Biscuit Co. you will be sorely disappointed here. My husband and I both ordered a vegetarian sandwich with an over medium egg added. The biscuits themselves were dry, partially rock hard, and flavorless. The eggs were cooked almost to the same quality - and his side kale slaw salad was inedible while my cheesy grits were partially charred. Don't even ask about the quality of the coffee we finally received after our meal was over. The woman working the counter was very nice. read more

Not exactly the most friendly staff. They close at 5 but at 330 saying they were saying they couldn't cook anything with eggs because they had shut the ovens off and were closing in an hour. The food without eggs are good though!! The crab melt was the table fave. Also, we are all originally from the south and the cheese grits are not your typical southern grits but are still good. read more

Honestly amazing. Fresh baked biscuits with fresh local ingredients from pike place market. I had the B.L.T. It was delicious. Fluffy biscuit with thick strips of bacon and a super fresh slice of tomato. I will definitely be going back to try their breakfast & more savory biscuits. I felt like I did something good & positive for the local farmers community and the city of Seattle. Please give this place a try and support local businesses. You'll love it and feel good about it too. read more

If you're looking for a traditional southern biscuit...keep moving. Also if you're looking to have money for food for the rest of the day...keep moving. The biscuit was cooked well but completely bland. The one saving grace was the Johnston County (NC) ham but for the portion size didn't add up to $3.50 or whatever it was. After tip I think a (sub par) ham biscuit cost me $9.00...$9.00!!! So many other great spots in Pike Place and waaaay better biscuits in Seattle. Don't bother wasting your time or money. read more

This is my favorite biscuit in Seattle! Their bacon is unreal too. Great customer service!

Biscuit and gravy was spendy at $7. The biscuit was decent, the gravy was on the bland side.

Terrible. I'm writing this review to remind myself not to eat here again. I'm pretty sure I ordered from here once before and thought it was maybe 3 stars, so that's probably why I forgot that unmemorable biscuit. Today, I ordered two McGregor biscuits, an Oven "Fried" Chicken on a Butterhole Biscuit sandwich, and Three Cheese Grits through UberEats for my family to share. I'm not sure where to place blame for the fact that the amount of time it took for my food to be picked up by a courier was twice as long as the estimate, but what I do know is that my food arrived cold and NASTY. Congealed grits and cold chicken are NOT appealing! The biscuits were easily warmed up in the microwave (though if I had been sitting on a park bench or something and didn't have modern kitchen conveniences, it would have been a very disappointing meal). The McGregor biscuits ($7) are HUGE square bricks with the toppings baked in (it is not a sandwich, as I believe it previously was years ago, though clearly my memory of my first Honest Biscuit is faulty). One of them could EASILY feed two or three people. These are NOT Southern biscuits (I'm from NC, so I know biscuits); they are not dry, but did require a lot of liquid to help wash them down. The grits were congealed, and laden with a pool of orange grease. They were also $5 and came in the tiniest container, so I'm not sure that's a fantastic value unless you're super rich and don't care. We haven't consumed the chicken sandwich ($10.50) yet, but will attempt to heat it up for our next meal. It could possibly be the saving grace of this order, and based solely on visuals, is the only thing I ordered that I could recommend you order. It also is enormous, though perhaps not large enough to be shared, except by two kids if you cut it in half. I do recommend you purchase beverages and find napkins, because the biscuits are greasy and hard to swallow. read more

I've had the chicken sandwich from Honest Biscuits twice now. I want to love it! But it is just not that tasty, and I think it's because someone here is very shy with the salt. The biscuit itself is not salty enough, and winds up tasting like plain flour. The biscuit is huge and crumbly, which would be OK if it were delicious, but I found it hard to finish because it wasn't. The chicken is cooked well, but again, the seasoning on the outside is a salt opportunity missed. The first time I had this sandwich I really wanted some creamy element (it's got mustard, pickled onions and microgreens), so the second time I added some mayo, and salted everything, but because the biscuit is so bland and there's so much of it, there's no way to fix the sandwich with seasoning. I really hope these guys fix their recipes, it's a beautiful place and the food looks so good! read more

The biscuit place on the tourist map was crazy busy and has no place to sit, so we went looking for an alternative. We are glad we found this place. It is right on the water and has indoor and outdoor seating. The food was great - hot cooked to order. We went there two mornings - the first morning the biscuits ware noticeably larger than the second day. But the second day was still enough food for me. The GF biscuits were great - they had enough strength to work for a sandwich. Highly recommended. read more

Very disappointed with my orders today. We had a butterhole with honey for my three year old, and a country Ham for me. The biscuits were very hard outside, too hard for my little. I didn't see any butter or honey on the biscuit. As for my, the ham was small and over cooked. Overall, it was horrible. Never going there again. Don't waste your time and money. read more
