I stop here for a biscuit every time I visit Chapel Hill, NC and brought family who were visiting with me this time. The classic biscuit with chicken, egg, and cheese is my go to and recommendation. It's a drive thru only but there are some lovely parks nearby where you can eat and enjoy the day... if you make it that far before digging into the biscuit The biscuits are always fresh and fluffy, chicken flavorful and juicy, and it's been consistent for over a decade. One of my faves! read more

LISTEENNNNN, if you want breakfast and you want it for a decent price, this is the spot. I really wish they had closer locations to the Raleigh area. Anytime I'm over near Chapel Hill. This spot is a must try. When you're trying to eat cheap and decent keep these guys in mind. Great portions, decent food, nowhere to eat inside, so plan on either taking the food with you to go, eating in your car, or grab one of the picnic tables that are outback. read more

Sunrise is the place to go for a good biscuit. Hands down! The biscuits are fire! They are soft, fluffy savory and delicious. Add some bacon, egg and a slice of cheddar cheese and you will officially have a breakfast biscuit of champions. Have to be honest-the biscuit is so big that I cannot eat it all at one time. The prices are highly reasonable for the amount of food that you receive at Sunrise. This place is a definite place to visit in Chapel Hill. read more

Pretty good place if you have a hankering for a good ol' fried chicken biscuit. In the past, I had biscuits here for that were among the best I've ever had. Recently, when I went back the chicken was a little dry and the breading came off... but fresh and delicious nevertheless. The biscuit itself was perfect. Also, order the hash browns! read more

Grabbed a chicken biscuit from here today. Used the drive-thru (maybe the only option?) and everything went smoothly, although it was a little expensive. The biscuit wasn't bad at all but it was a little too salty for me, and the chicken was decent. Maybe it'd be better to hit this place up earlier in the morning - I came around 10:30 AM, so it's possible that the food was slightly less fresh due to my timing. Overall, not bad, but I may hit up another breakfast place if I'm hungry in the morning around the Chapel Hill area :) read more

The biscuit fame is well earned at Sunrise. For breakfast on the go it's the perfect option. The biscuits are fluffy buttery clouds of bliss. They are huge and dense so you won't be hungry after just one. I thought the chicken was fine but could have used a little more seasoning. Hashbrown was on the smaller side and nothing notable though. Wish there was a tad more friendliness from the lady taking our order but can't fault someone for being a little cranky after a long shift. read more

I was out running errands and needed a quick bite. I did not want fast food and am watching what I eat. I knew SBK was known and tried for there famous delicious buttery biscuits but I quickly checked the menu for other items and found a few options for lunch. I was in luck and they have sandwiches that you can order for lunch. I opted for a chicken salad on wheat with lettuce and tomato and I could barely take a bite of the sandwich. It's so packed high with chicken salad. The chicken salad is delicious and I am very satisfied with my choice today. The service was quick and pleasant and the staff is always friendly and polite. This is a drive through establishment off of a main busy road so there's no options for eating inside anywhere. Besides this being delicious the price was right. The sandwich was under $5.00. And I did not need a side as this was more than enough. read more

Ever since I was a college student, I've always wondered what the rage of sunrise biscuits was about. Finally, 8 years later, I gave in and decided to try it. My brother, a fried chicken connoisseur, confirmed that the rage of Sunrise Biscuit company was not in vain. The biscuit was everything you'd want in a biscuit - soft, buttery, flaky, and full. It was the perfect pairing with the golden, crispy, tender, juicy, fried chicken. Simply unsimple. Everything you want in one sandwich on a Saturday autumn morning. The service was filled with sincere southern hospitality. If I didn't know I was in chapel hill, I'd know I was in chapel hill from the way we were treated just in the drive through line. Ambience is just what you'd want to be in while getting a quick, southern breakfast. The food is all that matters. Just you and the food. Just a break from the noise of life. read more

Sunrise is a local drive-thru-only biscuit place that serves good biscuits. Their blueberry muffins are generously sized. I took one home and ate it for breakfast the following day. I'm a fan of their signature biscuits. I had a simple sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit my first time. It was basic. The main difference was the biscuit texture. These biscuits are rich and flaky. I got their Good GramMa the second time and made two brunches out of it. I took it home and whipped up a side dish to go with it. The Bad Grandpa would have been a carb overload. If I got that one, I'm making myself a hearty Southern brunch with it! read more

Me and Fiancé decided to try a new place for breakfast! I am so glad we discovered this gem when we were in Chapel Hill. I got the Chicken Biscuit combo which came with a drink and a hashbrown. My fiancé ordered the bad grandpa. The hashbrown was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! It was probably one of the best hashbrowns I have had in my life. I loved the chicken biscuit, the chicken was crispy and tender, and the homemade biscuit was absolutely delicious! The bad grandpa was unique and incredible! read more

I've loved this drive-in spot in Chapel Hill, and it's always a fan favorite when I have visitors in town. Most people love the bad grandpa, but if you're vegetarian there are a lot of options, too. Pro tip: Don't sit and wait in your car, and instead park and come up to the walk-up window. I imagine you'll save yourself 30 minutes on a busy weekend. Also, it's so cheap! For less than $5 I got an egg & cheese biscuit with a hash brown that filled me up for the whole day. read more

Honestly, I Can't Complain, or Give Any Bad Advise About This Place Here. This is a Hometown Favorite; In Which, Will Continue To Go To, Til' This Day. Located off the Heels of the University of Chapel Hill, Sunrise is a Local Breakfast "Drive-Thru" Spot, Which Has Been in Business For Over 20+ Years. Their Biscuits are Hand and Homemade Each and Every Morning Before They Open. Besides Their Famous Biscuits, They Have Lunch Options as Well. They Close Around 2/3 pm. Personally, My Favorite Go-To Options Here are the Bacon-Egg & Cheese, Their Cinnamon Rolls, and Blueberry Muffins. For More About Me & This Blog, Tap The Link In The Bio.

This is always one of my favorite stops when I'm in town. Don't be deterred by the long line, that's almost guaranteed to be backed up into the road. It moves fast. But even if it didn't, Sunrise biscuits are totally worth the wait. I almost always get the Bad Grampa. For those who don't know, Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen was featured in the Johnny Knoxville film, Bad Grandpa! That's where this glorious biscuit sandwich gets its name. It's a huge portion of perfectly breaded chicken breast, topped with egg, cheese, and a lot of bacon! The biscuits themselves are buttery and crumbly in all the right ways. I have been known to swap the regular cheese on the Bad Grampa for pimento cheese - so good! I really enjoy their gravy biscuits as well. I sometimes add a piece of chicken to the gravy biscuits, because the chicken is just that good. It's a very simple establishment, drive thru only. There is no inside seating, however if you drive across the parking lot past the Indian restaurant, there are a few picnic tables if you're so inclined to dine outside! Over all, this is a classic breakfast joint in Chapel Hill. Don't miss this Tar Heel tradition! read more

Several staff members at the UNC hospital recommended we give this place a try. So here are my thoughts: Service - 5 Stars! Its a drive thru establishment and they know how to pump out the food in less than 2 mins and keep the line moving fast! Food - 4 Stars! The biscuits are tender and Humongous! You gotta know what your doing when you eat this, and have your technique down on how to tackle these giants. I got the chicken biscuit w/egg and tomato. I would bump this rating up to a 5 if the chicken was cooked to order, but then you sacrifice the speedy service. It would be nice to have that option. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed my meal! read more

People are great. 10 out of 10, would absolutely recommend.

There are always games playing on the ginormous TVs, and it doesn't have such a hectic vibe like other pubs do. We ordered a bunch of food for the table, and we had zero misses. We got the goat cheese pizza, chicken nachos, truffle fries, caprese sandwich, and the pork egg rolls. 10/10s all around! The pizza was paired with rich goat cheese and topped with a sweet honey glaze that was so good. The pork egg rolls were so rich in flavor, and the truffle fries were so so addicting. And you can't go wrong with the chicken nachos and the caprese sandwich. Servers are all nice, and just an overall great time.

I had the grilled chicken bánh mì--chicken was tender and flavorful, but the sandwich overall was a bit bland. My partner had their baht banh mi and it was much better. I do like their bread -crispy and held up well. The furikake steak fries were excellent--super crispy and flavorful--and the super sauce was a standout. Parking is right out front, though it felt like staff were monitoring the lot to make sure only customers were parking there--maybe I misunderstood, but it was noticeable.

The whole staff is extremely nice and helpful! They all made the experience great with their kindness. The food was amazing from the fries, banh mi, and chicken sandwich.

Absolutely fantastic in my opinion. It was a bit overwhelming at first trying to decide on what to eat. We decided for the classic Gyro and had some avocado/guacamole type side....I forget the name. They were fantastic. Very hard to eat only because they load the pita bread with a ton of food. We got forks and knives and just cut it up. The place was clean and the folks bringing food out were moving. Bathrooms were even clean. What I didn't take a pic of was the baklava I decided to get. Pistachio Baklava....do yourself a favor and just get it. You'll thank me later. I wish we had this place in Kansas....a highlight dinning experience in Chapel Hill for us to be honest.

With a line out the door the only real flaw of Mediterranean deli is you may have to wait for your…read morefood. Created with bustling energy and big smiles, the staff behind the counter keeps everything moving as quickly as they can while you take in the expansive menu and the plethora of mouthwatering sides. While my choice of a lamb and beef gyro is a bit basic, I was so pleased with every lovely bite. The condiment counter gave me olives and tzatziki to munch on as well. With a vibe of comfort and college town, Mediterranean deli easily hits the standard for lunch or dinner or anything in between.

Out of their signature burgers, I've tried the chorizo, the jalapeno-pimento cheese burger, and the goat cheese burger, all delicious. The restaurant itself is homely and welcoming. Service is timely and amiable. Their loaded fries are also always a staple. Another plus is that they're open very late, meaning I can count on buns to satisfy many late-night cravings. Eating at Buns overall guarantees a unique flavor experience every time I visit, which is why I regard it so highly out of all the other burger spots in the Chapel Hill area.
