Came here with my friends and family after a 5K race and Evelyn was absolutely amazing and gave great service! We love coming here and the food and drink is always delicious! For a busy Saturday morning we received great service and will be coming back! read more

It has been awhile since I have been too the restaurant. Alot has changed as far as the menu etc. They no longer give you a biscuit with your order. The biscuits also are alot less appealing. They do not look or taste homemade. The other issue I had was my order was not brought out all at the same time. The restaurant was not busy so not sure why that happened. Not sure if I will go back. One last thing that bothered me was while I was eating...this person came by and just took plates off my table. He did not ask if I was done or say can I take these for you etc. That was rude. read more

We went for brunch on a Friday and it was busy so I can only imagine what weekends are like there and after eating there I understand why! It's adorable inside with sunflowers painted on the walls and fun space stuff on the ceiling. The tables can be a little tight together but the staff was helpful with rearranging to make sure people were comfortable. The food is amazing! Portions are good, prices are average but worth it my opinion. They do offer a variety of coffee drinks and nonalcoholic drinks as well as mimosas. Will definitely go back and try the mimosas next time!! read more

We really enjoyed brunch here! It was very busy and bustling. Lots of seating options both inside and outside. We got the following: - Breakfast tacos - highly recommend! You need to be hungry as it's a lot of food. I love the 3 sauces it comes with - queso, hot sauce, and salsa verde. It also comes with a side - I got the moon dust potatoes but grits or fruit is also an option. - Chorizo Hash - my husband devoured this!! - Kids Belgian waffle - our daughter loved this! It came with a biscuit and side of fruit. - Mimosas were a great size! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking as it's in the Stonecrest shopping center. This may just be our new breakfast spot! read more

It's nice to visit from California and get a nice place to have breakfast. Tiffany our waitress was amazing. Thank you. Out of all the dishes the chicken sausages need a little less cooking. Almost felt like they were microwaved. I definitely recommend this place. Stuffed Waffles were amazingly yummy. read more

We waited about 45 minutes but I believe it's because it's Mother's Day. I couldn't decide on what to order but I started with the fried green tomatoes and they were the best I've ever had. The grits were exactly how I like... creamy! The service was great!!!! read more

My wife and I took my sister-in-law and our kids for breakfast. Everyone had a great meal. They had a great variety of menu items. It's not your average breakfast spot. It's a little something different for everybody. The only reason I didn't give it a five star was because the meal was not as warm as I would have liked it to be. I understand with big orders sometimes the plates sit and wait until they're all completed for larger groups. It was not a dealbreaker, but something I look forward to in a breakfast. read more

everything here is so so sweet - not sure if thats meant to be the case but the sugar high is intense. the service is pretty good even when every table is full and they have parking right up front. read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast spot overall in the south Charlotte area (which is the only area I frequent typically haha). The menu boasts plenty of options, from typical southern staples to slightly healthier fares. I recently came in on the morning of my birthday and was so happy with my chorizo egg scramble! It was delicious and packed with so much flavor. Their coffee has left a little to be desired if you like it strong, but they are such a pleasant waitstaff and the atmosphere is so fun so it pretty much all makes up for it. But yes- if I could change one thing there I would ask for stronger HOT coffee and cold brew! read more

The Flying Biscuit Cafe - Chorizo scramble, side of grits (they're so good), husband's combo breakfast with a side waffle, and both of us got coffee! - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Food: Solid B over all- I tried the classic eggs Benedict - it was decent and as you would expect but wasn't anything super special. I would try something different next time. The biscuits and gravy were also unique. Made with chicken instead of regular sausage- I'm a huge B&G fan so this change up was not my cup of tea but if you like the idea go for it. Biscuits were great by themselves. Service: A. as you would expect from a breakfast stop. No problem here. Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating. Kinda cool and different inside. Very mom and pop feel inside. Outside is shaded and great for fall weather. Will I come back? Most likely- But I will not order what I ordered above. read more

This place is never a miss! Everytime we go it is great!! My husbands favorite Sunday place

I have been coming here for over 10 years. Well I had an unsettling experience here. I ordered Avocado Toast with 2 poached eggs hard/well done. The eggs came undercooked. I alerted the waitress. This happened two times. I asked to speak to the manager. I explained the problem. She said well you ate the avocado toast. I said well I ended up eating my friend's grits and chicken sausage because I was so hungry. She then replied well I'll take off the price of the eggs. This was an unacceptable response. Shame on you. read more

Grits are a must here! The grits have incredible flavor. Also the peach oatmeal pancake has great flavor and is worth getting. The service is very quick and you get your food fast. The eggs Benedict hollandaise sauce really didn't have any flavor. Their fruit did taste very fresh which was great. The inside is a little bit cramped but luckily it was not too busy. Their latte did taste very good and was pretty large. read more

It was really decent breakfast food for the price but they keep changing the menu to remove really good items as well as significantly increasing their prices. Something I ordered two months ago is either gone or $3+ more expensive than it used to be...Breakfast food can only be so expensive and It's going downhill now with the changes. read more

Our party of 6 arrived hungry from an overnight flight. We chose them based on social media posts & we're so glad we did! The food was delicious-waffles, shrimp & grits, fried green tomatoes, stuffed pancakes, steak & eggs, fluffy biscuits, apple butter, & the Flying Biscuit breakfast! We were greeted warmly & had a quiet table created quickly. Our waitress was wonderful & graciously sent us on our way with to-go drinks. What a wonderful experience! Put this on your "must eat at" list in Charlotte! read more

I've found my favorite local brunch spot. Flying Biscuit hasn't disappointed me on any of my initial four visits. We were seated quickly and everyone is so friendly. There's an older gentleman who serves as the host and he is always so welcoming. It's my wedding anniversary so hubby wanted a spot with good mimosas to start our morning right. Seasonal mimosas here have been a hit every time. Today I had the Caramel apple mimosa. It was Christmas in a stemless glass! Such a great choice. For my brunch, I had the pancake tacos (my second try) and substituted the potatoes for the biscuit. You MUST have one of their biscuits. They rival my mom's and grandmom's. Adding cranberry apple butter put these biscuits over the top. Hubby had the Dirty Bird and boy was it a plateful! Everything was amazing! read more

This is one of my favorite brunch restaurants ever! It's literally in my top two. A casual atmosphere with great food, staff, and vibes. I always visit this location because the biscuits are always consistent. Fluffy with an excellent texture, my minimum order is always 2, and if I still can't get enough, I'll get another one. On my last visit, I tried the following: BLUEBERRY LEMONADE MIMOSA - Irresistibly sweet and delicious. Just so you know, the taste is more on the juice side, less on the alcohol, which is why I loved it. - MUST TRY. BLOODY MARY - This was my first time having a Bloody Mary. As a result, I do not have anything to compare it, too. However, I learned by trying this that I do not like tomato juice. If you love Bloody Marys, I encourage you to try this drink and let your taste buds be the judge as I cannot accurately review it. BACON & EGGS BREAKFAST - Two eggs served with three strips of crispy all-natural nitrate-free applewood bacon, grits, and a biscuit - Classic taste - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. SMOKED SALMON SCRAMBLE - Three eggs scrambled with chopped wood-smoked salmon and dill cream cheese. Served with grits and a biscuit. - I loved the taste of this so much, I taught myself how to make it. The salmon and cream cheese flavors make this dynamite. - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. STUFFED FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST- Two thick slices of challah bread dipped in their signature batter, grilled, stuffed with sweet cream cheese and topped with raspberry sauce, honey crème anglaise, fresh strawberries, and powdered sugar. Served with two eggs, two chicken sage sausage patties, grits and a biscuit.- Sweetness galore. - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Other Menu Items I've Tried: Drops of Jupiter Mango Nectar Meggxican Chorizo Wrap Peach Nectar The Egg Stravaganza read more

The restaurant its self is very nice, it's small but very well decorated and organized but my visit was awful. To start we were seated and 15 mins into my visit the hostess asked my table if we would move to accommodate another party that was inappropriate and absurd to even suggest moving an already seated party. Second my waitress was not pleasant,rushed she only came by 4 times. The food was average nothing special sadly. Would not recommend. read more

We were in Charlotte to escape the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Wanted to stop here for a quick brunch before heading back home to no power. So first off it took the waitress forever to come over. She finally came and took drink orders and then took forever to come back. (She was busy arguing with be people beside us regarding missing items) She finally back comes over and takes our order except for my preteen who can't decide. Waitress huffs off saying she'll be back when they've decided. And then we wait and wait and wait. She's outside talking to two patrons on the patio dining area. I wait and wait - she's still yucking it up with them. (Not taking an order). I step out the door and wait for an opening to speak. When she saw me she said, "what?!" I replied "I just wanted to see if you're coming back to take our order." "I'm taking their order! I'll get yours after I'm done with them!" She responds with a hateful tone. I turned around and told my kids to come on, we're leaving. What was already a poor experience became a no go when she spoke to me like that. She's lucky she didn't speak to my SO or kids that way. Highly recommend avoiding this place u less you enjoy being mistreated. read more

Ordered breakfast and the biscuit wasn't even ready until I was closing out my bill..... at least it distracted me from my room temp grits and cold cheese single on top. In all a pretty disappointing birthday breakfast. read more

Decided to grab breakfast after competing a local 5k. Got here around 9:30 and surprisingly it wasn't packed. We were able to be seated right away. The seating is tight and there's even signage about no strollers, and other large items. I got the smoked salmon scramble with grits and a biscuit. Food came out quick and it was great. The grits were creamy, the smoked salmon was great, and the biscuit was perfect with the apple jelly. Our server was very nice and attentive. Can't wait to go back and try something different off the menu. read more

Flying Biscuit is always a vibe. This one on Rea Rd. (vs Park Rd.) is the more chill of the two. Music wasn't as fun (less R&B and hip music) but the Ballantyne area is more laid back. The food was still good, BUT the grits at this location were too runny and loose for my tastes. The collard greens were also a low. Too much vinegar and not enough flavor to offset it. The French toast was delicious and the yummy biscuits and apple jam did not disappoint. Service was good and we had not issues to report. read more

Hands down one of the best place in Ballantyne for breakfast. We've encountered a few and the staff, atmosphere and biscuits makes One of Ballantyne's hidden gems. The parking lot is small but the restaurant makes up for it in size. You can generally expect a long line on a usual weekend but it moves fast does the staff knows the hustle and bustle of breakfast. We've tried a lot of their dishes from the Hot Dirty Bird to their stuffed waffles. The hot dirty bird is probably best described what happens when chicken and waffles has a love child with biscuits and gravy. Try the Apple butter with your biscuits, you will thank me later. Love the staff and the food! Thank you for taking care of Ballantyne and keeping our bellies full!! read more

This is a long overdue review from me, I'm in my twenties and I've been coming to this restaurant since I learned to talk. From day one this place has housed some of my fondest memories, from eating sugar cubes at 7 to sweet tea and life rants at 20. The staff has always been wonderful, many of them have stuck around for quite some time, they're the faces I look forward to seeing on a Sunday morning. They are beyond kind, unbelievably personable, and fun to chat with (I'm looking at you Tiff, Sully, Nat, Leo, Charlie, Mason, and the rest of you know who you are). I love my food every time because they do it right and if I ever have an issue with it they jump right on it. Their pancakes are fantastic, eggs are tasty, plus the grits? Superb. Take my word for it on this, going here to eat will be the best breakfast decision you've ever made. read more

Do not order the Flying Biscuit Breakfast. The biscuit was hardcore over cooked, it literally cracked in half when I bit it. The sausage was way overcooked as well, almost burnt. It tasted like a continental breakfast from a hotel. However, the bacon was pretty good. But really the biscuit and sausage were like hotel quality. I would probably try other foods next time, but really I expected good biscuits from a place called the Flying Biscuit - I advise a name change to Flying Bacon. read more

The inside was very pretty and the whole atmosphere was welcoming. I got the biscuit, two fried eggs, grits, and potatoes! The biscuit was pretty good (not the best I've ever had), the grits are AMAZING, the potatoes are AMAZING, and the eggs were pretty average. I also got a hot coffee which was REALLY good. Super happy I choose this place as my birthday restaurant!! read more

Being a party of one is a true benefit here! I visited around 11:40 am on a Sunday and there was a 50-minute wait. The bar is first come first serve. I was able to grab a seat as someone left after waiting ~ 15 minutes. HOWEVER ... sitting at the bar does have cons. I experienced to-go orders being placed in front of me, customers waiting for their to-go orders standing behind me and customers signing their check on the table top directly beside my food. So, if you cannot handle those things ... wait for a table. I ordered: Egg-Stravaganza $12.99 The "creamy dreamy grits" are just that and a MUST!!! The biscuit was perfect - and you HAVE to put their cranberry apple butter on top. I fully enjoyed everything on my plate - so much that I placed a to-go order online as I finished my meal inside. I love flying biscuit. read more

First time at this cafe. I didn't know what to order so I went for their classical/popular per the website "Flying Biscuit Breakfast" dish. What I received was a hard biscuit with sugar drizzled on top. No gravy.. a sugar layer visible on top of my dry biscuit. It was as unappealing when I ate it as I had expected from first glance. The sausage was shaped in a circle and also hard. Nothing natural about it. Would not recommend this to anyone. read more

This used to be a go to for breakfast. Was expecting the same solid showing of grits w/the can't miss scrambled and bacon. The bacon was gristle and way crispy. The kind of crispy that when broken apart pieces flew across the table. It was like eating straight up fat. The scrambled was lackluster to say the least. I may be picky but whole milk or cream are my favs to scramble the eggs and these weren't that. The Flying Biscuit is where I started eating grits. They used to be loaded w/cheesy flavor. These had just a hint of cheese and that's after I was searching for it. All in all the Flying Biscuit has sadly been removed from our go to list. read more

Listen, this place is great. I go here at least once a month on Sundays and it's a TREAT. Always a line so prepare to wait like 20-30 mins but I've never had a bad experience or a bad plate. read more

Best home style brunch!! The grits will keep me coming back time and time again! The wait was around 20 minutes and they stuck to the quoted time. They take your number so you can pop into the surrounding shops If you choose and they will call you when your table is ready. Once seated the menu is on the table top as pictured or you can scan and review on your phone. This is nice to have a hands free option these days. We started with a Bloody Mary which was great! The rim was salty and flavorful and the consistency was not thick which is exactly how I like mine! We ordered pretty quick and the food came out hot and fresh!! My eggs Benedict with sweet ham, perfectly cooked eggs over medium all over an English muffin was bursting with flavor. It took me back to my upbringing on Sunday mornings! The grits.. y'all the grits. These might be the best breakfast grits I've ever had. They were so thick and creamy and smooth and every adjective that goes with perfect grits you can imagine. The biscuit with the sweet apple butter was like dessert and I wish I had room after my main breakfast for two of them. I am so glad to have discovered this spot as it will be a new favorite! Parking is ample. There are single bathrooms with changing tables and they were clean! I shall be back! read more
