The food is still great, tried and true, but you can definitely see the change in corporate ownership vs. the previous private ownership. It used to be that one could swap fresh fruit for the breakfast potatoes, and get some extra gravy, all for no charge. Now? $2.50 for extra gravy, and a $2.00 up charge for the fruit. You'll get just slightly over a second cup of coffee if you're lucky in the pot that it's served in for one person. Still a great meal but you have to go into it knowing that it's going to be much pricier than it was under the previous owner. read more

Flew all the way from Los Angeles to eat here. Just kidding. I was visiting some relatives. But I never get disappointed. Though I need to remember to order small because you get a lot of everything. Will definitely be back! read more

Huge portions and the very best pancakes ever! It was so good we went 2 days in a row.

I ordered chicken and waffles to go. Picked the order up right at the time. Got home and found that the put a big piece of what looks to be a chicken tenderloin in top of my waffles. So anyone with common sense would know that my waffles were soggy. I called the Lee's Summit location and was like hey my waffles were put in the same box as hot chicken. His name was Ryan and was like yeah that is the way we do it. I was like that is fine but this was a to go order. He said you are the first person to complain. At that point I was like I am not going to get anywhere. So frustrating! Niecie's Restaurant is so far away but at least I can say I have never had soggy chicken and waffles! Big Biscuit can do better! read more

A great restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Friendly staff and the food is delicious. Good sized portions and I usually leave there quite full. Menu has many options on he menu that choosing is the hardest part. Can get quite busy, especially on the weekends. read more

This place tastes great and I love it but since the Covid, the cost is higher and the quality has gone down a little. The staff has some too but still good service and the food is still good depending on the cook and what day it is. I would still go sometimes not all the time as I use to. read more

One word: Pancakes!!! Great portion for the price. And very friendly staff. Only if they sold mimosas lol

The food I've had here is excellent breakfast food! The only complaint I have is the fact that they close earlier than most restaurants! Lol

What ever you do, do NOT go to this location. I have gotten to go orders several times from this place. And the order has wrong 3 out of 4 times. Today I ordered a large biscuits and gravy and a extra gravy on the side. Get it home and found 2 cold biscuits that should have had gravy on them and 2 small containers of gravy that was the amount that should have been on the biscuits to start with. Called back to speak with a manager and was told it must have been a misunderstanding in how I placed the order. They always want to put the blame somewhere else, Not even a sorry for the mixup. So don't waste your time or money here. read more

Great hit the spot breakfast every time I have it they do a perfect job following orders.

If you want a hearty breakfast with lots of choices, I'd recommend Big Biscuit. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is inviting, and you get the feeling of a small diner. It's actually better than a small diner because the tables are roomier. This is becoming a "regular" spot for us. read more

Love the waitlist idea, great food and service. the staff is really friendly and love Emma at door her attitude, very friendly. ambiance of the restaurant feels lovely. read more

The food was great! Fast friendly service! Was disappointed they were out of their specialty dessert type biscuit. I don't remember the name of it. read more

Great place for a large breakfast. These locations close around 2 PM. They have very traditional food and large serving.

Amazing service, great food , great people . I love how kind they are. Really a great place to eat.

The biscuits were fantastic but so was everything else! I had the county Benedict and it was so delicious!

The portions are huge and the omelette was delicious. I would definitely recommend going there for breakfast.

More like The Bad Biscuit! I once loved this place. Haven't been here in years because of a move. It's dated and dirty inside. the bar area was unkept and there was stuff stacked on the bar top so it was not accessible. I waited to be seated and it took a while once I did get seated the service was just okay. Just like the food just okay. I ordered the yard bird the biscuit was Big and cold. The chicken was good but a very small portion. when I did find some gravy it was suitable for consummation but not big flavors I remember from the past. The hash-browns were not fully cooked on half and burnt on the other. There was no refills given and no follow up. Some of these things you let go when a business is busy but with only four tables the service should have been better. When my check arrived my server started the transaction at the table she then handed the machine to me and told me what to do how to leave a tip and print out a receipt? she left it on the table and that was that. I will say if you're in the area and you want a good hot homemade meal keep driving you might find something down the street! read more

This place is AMAZING. IM SUPER PICKY WITH MY BISCUITS AND GRAVY! This place was amazing. They have something called a bonut. It's a biscuit that they fry like a donut and put powdered sugar on top. AMAZING. If you have time to stop by do. It's so worth it. Definitely worth the stop on our trip. read more

THE BEST BREAKFAST IN THE WORLD Whenever my boyfriend and I visit family in KCMO all the way from Las Vegas, we eat here. Not once, not twice...basically the whole stay. We are obsessed with the country fried steak and the gravy and biscuits! Living in Vegas you have endless options for breakfast...but we've never found ONE place as good at The Big Biscuit! read more

The big biscuit is good, but EXTREMELY overrated. Yes, I recommend it. They have good food, but it's not any more delicious than say Cracker Barrel. (Except the biscuits. BB has an amazing biscuit) read more

I'm sad I didn't get a biscuit. Anyway. It was packed (not surprising for a Saturday morning), but we were sat very quickly. Cute and cozy atmosphere. Fast/efficient/effective service - the place is obviously fully staffed and they know what they're doing. I went all out. My breakfast choice was the coffee, pumpkin pancakes (seasonal), bacon, and eggs over easy (I ended up mixing these with hash browns). My order was perfectly cooked, tasty, and incredibly filling. I can't think of anything to nag about. It was pretty much the perfect weekend breakfast. The pumpkin flavor of the pancakes was exactly right and didn't taste artificial. Minus one star because my husband found a hair (not ours) in his omelette. FYI: hairnets can solves this problem. read more

Amazing food at very large portions. They live up to their name with the word BIG!! Service is great!

This is our go to spot if we want a big hearty breakfast and something for everyone. I believe this is a chain but it does NOT feel or taste like a chain. Delicious every single time we go. read more

Favorite place for breakfast! Jim's platter is my personal favorite. Always good, always friendly!

The Big Biscuit is a fantastic breakfast place that I every much enjoy going to. I would totally recommend going here. The only bad thing about this place is that the bacon is just average.

Who could not love this place ?! Always fresh and hot when delivered to the table , the portions are more then enough and I always bring plenty home . Deliciousness read more

I have been here many times, but the first time since I started on Yelp. As always the restaurant is clean and the wait staff very friendly but in the case of our waitress today who I won't name her name was very inattentive, not once did she stop and ask if everything was ok, or find out if we needed more coffee and only saw her when she took our order and eventually had to ask the manager for our ticket And you may ask then why did you give it a 4 star, simple because the food is always good and you get a lot for what you order and the price is always right. I have never had a complaint about the food here no matter what I ordered Part of why I enjoy coming here is that it is a small diner on steroids, meaning I have never been here when it wasn't extremely busy, which is a good sign especially on a Wednesday morning. ...I would advise if you are going to come here on a Saturday or Sunday morning though., you had best be there before 9 or you WILL be waiting a while, but it is worth the wait Great food, usually good wait staff but 1 person won't keep me away....I would say Best Breakfast in Independence or is it Kansas City....maybe Raytown. ...If you live in the area there you get the joke...iffy not I don't have time to explain My name is Bill Lockhart and I approved this yelp read more

I like all the Big Biscuits, but this is the Original Big Biscuit and the best! Anything on the menu is great, the Biscuits are huge and flaky. I definitely would get the Biscuits and Gravy or the Mayberry. read more

I really enjoyed The Big Biscuit. It's unpretentious diner food. Great service, great food, great portions, at a reasonable price. I had the Big Breakfast. It was that. Everything as ordered. I mean, how difficult is it to cook an egg? Very difficult for some places. This place was perfect. Pancakes the size of your plate. Soft and delicious. Coffee was decent, not gourmet, but good. Service was excellent. They even warmed our mugs up. You bet this place gets busy and you will have to wait if you come too late. There's a reason for this that, this place is really good. read more

The biscuits and gravy are the best around! Food comes out fast and hot and always taste great

this classic ham and egger lives up to its name with big beautiful buttermilk biscuits. The rest of the food was solid and I like it that the coffee comes Ina table pot, though the coffee was a bit bitter. But oh that light and airy delicious biscuit. That's where it's at baby!! This place ice clean friendly and efficient. Recommend . read more

Went to The Big Biscuit with the extended family for breakfast on Independence Day. I was really impressed. Not only is breakfast my favorite meal of the day, I'm kinda choosy about breakfast foods. I ordered the Griddle Combo. I had a choice of french toast or pancakes, and I chose french toast. it was served with just the right amount of powder sugar dust and the right amount of butter. Good french toast does not need syrup to make it taste good. With my french toast. My combo included two eggs, which I ordered scrambled. My scrambled eggs were light, fluffy and creamy. They were delicious. I also had a choice of sausage or bacon. I chose bacon. The bacon was not 'pre cooked' and reheated, but served freshly fried and it was done but not too done. Hubby ordered pancakes so I got to taste those and they too were delicious. Their link sausage are not tiny, they are at least 3/4" in diameter and sausage lovers have the choice of link or patty sausage. My sister-in-law ordered an omelet and and she had to take part of it home because the portions were so larger. The ingredients in her omlet were fresh. I only wish I could have tried one of the huge fluffy biscuits. I will definitely have to go back to try more menu items as the waffles looked good, and there were two pages of choices just for the breakfast menu and lots of topping/specialty options. read more

Finally got around to checking out The Big Biscuit. I opted out of the namesake and opted for the big breakfast which consist of 2 huge pancakes,w baby sausage pattys,2 thin bacon strips and a nice portion of eggs.For $10 it was good. Jam packed on a Sunday morning but was able to sit at the bar. The food was hot and fresh. Service was good and positive. I'll be back to try the Biscuit on my next visit. read more
