We finally dragged ourself to the Flying Biscuit and honestly, it was worth the wait. Those biscuits come out hot, flaky on top but still fluffy inside-perfect for scooping up the peppery sausage gravy. The apple butter tastes like someone spent an afternoon stirring cinnamon in real apples; one bite and I forgot what traffic was like. Grits stole it though-so creamy I could have eaten them straight, no butter needed. And the scrambled eggs? Soft, almost custardy-way better than my own sorry attempt this morning. It's a bright colorful place and the servers are very nice! If you're near one, go early; lines form quick, but they move. read more

The food was delicious. I had scrambled eggs and bacon, which I know is hard to screw up, but the eggs were not overcooked and the bacon was a perfect crispness. We came in right at closing time but they treated us courteously and did not rush us along. My only complaint is that they have a mural signifying Greenville with the Clemson mascot but NOTHING to represent FURMAN. read more

The food at The Flying Biscuit was great! I had the Three Amigos Tacos which came with three corn tortillas stuffed with scrambled eggs, yellow cheddar cheese, chicken chorizo, black bean salsa and sour cream. served with a side of moon dusted potatoes but I opted for fruit. It was very filling to say the least. We did have a bit of a wait, but once we got seated the service was great. I loved the artwork that was on the inside. Would highly recommend. So many choices on the menu. read more

service really bad waited for drinks that we ordered for 20 mins coffee was terrible simple dishes took long very dated restaurant not very clean read more

Slow service, rude hostess, and dirty silverware. Food was decent, but not worth the pain. We won't be back.

We had a great experience after strolling in for an mpromptu business brunch. Im not normally a fan of grits but the creamy dreamy grits really are smooth and dreamy. The coffee was hot and fresh to wash down the meal. Everything was hot, fresh and exactly as we ordered. Our server was super friendly with the southern charm you'd expect when dining in Greenville. I'd absolutely return. read more

Absolutely ridiculous I ordered the hash hangover with a "large downpour of queso" but ended up getting a teaspoon of queso and not one... not two.... But three giants strings of hair and I was only looking at the top. You know what I get for it? A ruined appetite and 2 shitty $5 gift card vouchers and a half ass apology from the owner himself read more

This was our first time trying The Flying Biscuit in Greenville. My daughter recommended because they've tried it other places and never been disappointed. Well Greenville can now be added to that list because the food was amazing. Now it was a lil disappointing that busy downtown didn't have more then 2 servers but our waitresses tried her best to keep up. Our food still came out hot and delicious, now their drinks are another story, bit pricey and watered down so I would never order another alcoholic beverage here but will return for the food and service. The waitress hands probably were tied because we asked if we could replace it for something else because $14 is a lot for a small drinks that's not good so that was a waste and not even trying to offer a replacement instead she offered to charge me for another drink. Definitely not. Nice outdoor seating. read more

First time eating breakfast here. The food was okay . However the sides were not good at all the grits had to much cheese in them. Plain grits with butter would have been better. The macaroni and cheese brownies ( looked like brownies they had no taste bland) the fruit side I got was okay the fruit tasted like the fruit wasn't ripe and a lot crunchy. The entrees themselves were pretty good. A lot of food for the price. Family friendly. Our waitress was pretty nice. Do i recommend? Hmm let's just say that I would just leave it up to other people to try it and see if they like it. Because sometimes other people's opinions and reviews don't really matter because your experience may be better or different. I don't think i will ever be back . read more

This is the worst breakfast place I've ever been to. Food is horrible. Had to wait over an hour for a biscuit, sausage and scrambled eggs. My mother had to leave because it took over an hour for her avocado toast to arrive. Nobody checking on us. It's not even packed. Worst breakfast experience. read more

Damn, do I love the creamy, dreamy grits! I hadn't been to a Flying Biscuit Cafe in over 10 years so I was excited that it was an option that was walkable in downtown Greenville. We went on Saturday morning, we were sat right away by a hostess with a personality of a wet towel. Does that sound rude? Yes but I also tried to approach her able there being no toilet paper in the bathroom and she just looked at me so that's that. Anywho, once sat we waited awhile for our server. She was on point and peppy but the process seemed to take foreeeever. Stoked that the food was still delicious (plus they have a lot bigger if a menu now!) but hopefully will be a little quicker next time I visit when I'm in the area. read more

Had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, the sausage could not had been real, it was the worst sausage ever. We have McCalls sausage from the farm, flying biscuit, if u are reading these, switch to that and you will have a winner. read more

Food was outstanding, service even better! Kennedy was funny and on point with service and went above and beyond when I wanted to purchase a shirt! Highly recommend this place a gem ! read more

I've been a fan of the original flying biscuit forever and will say that even though they have franchised, the quality has not been lost. Convenient location and attentive service. The sides are amazing; the biscuits of course and the apple butter a nonnegotiable, with the grits being both cheesy and creamy. read more

The food is good if you don't mind waiting a really long time for the food. I placed my order for biscuit, gravy and scrambled eggs. 15 mins later I asked them to check on it. She told me it's 20-25 mins wait. I clarified "on top of the 15 I've already waited?" She said yes that it takes a while to make the eggs. read more

Delicious breakfast spot! my personal favorites are the veggie scramble, shrimp & grits, and the oh my grits bowl! I have tried almost everything but those are some personal favorites. read more

The best grits!!! Came here with my son, traveling from out of town, and decided to check this place out. At the time I saw it only had 3 stars but we still wanted to give it a try and the menu looked very good. I got the eggs, biscuit and gravy. It was so great. I have to say these are the best grits I have ever had. The day before we went to Biscuit Head, which wasn't as tasty. I recommend giving this place a try, especially if you love grits. read more

Incredible breakfast we had with our friends (4 of us) in the charming Downtown area of Greenville. (Walking distance from Embassy Suites)...Flying Biscuit Cafe reminds me of a Mellow Mushroom of Brunch/Breakfast. Lots of groovy tunes and positive vibes from the staff and servers. Smiles and teamwork to provide your food hot and steamy. Cool artwork on the walls that add to the charm. We had the following: Stuffed French toast Breakfast- white cheddar cheese grits (creamy and heavenly), scrambled eggs (warm and soft), tall biscuit with apple butter (delish), chicken sausage patties (yummy) with the Gigantic stuffed French toast with crème cheese and strawberry glaze. All fantastic. Honey Butter Chicken Waffle- This was my favorite!!! The waffle was crunchy on the outside and super soft in the middle, dripping with honey butter. The fried chicken was HAND battered, fresh and cooked to crispness. This is not frozen chicken that is thrown in a fryer. I will order this every time! We ordered a side dish of Moon Dusted Potatoes that hit the spot with flavor. They are cubed and look ordinary but once you pop into your mouth, the flavor explodes! Soooo unexpectedly good. Had to RAVE over this simple side dish Great 5 star experience and feel Flying Biscuit is by far the best brunch restaurant in DT Greennville! read more

Best grits I've had in a veryyyyy long time. I almost didn't come after reading the reviews becuse I was skeptical, but I talked to a local and she encouraged me to go, and I'm so glad I listened to her. We came about an hour before closing but the staff was still super helpful and nice, refilled our glasses when they were close to empty. read more

We really liked it! I had the strawberry cheesecake French toast. It only had one strawberry on it but it was very good. The kids French toast was just toast. The grits were really good! read more

We had a super solid experience at Flying Biscuit Cafe. Located in the West End district in Greenville I saw plenty of cute shops and major retail giants all without eye shot. Food was seasoned excellent and our waitress must have woken up on the right side of bed cause she was a bright shining star throughout our experience. I ordered a Freebird Benedict and it came out more like biscuits and gravy. Fancy name, yet basic breakfast. Still it offered to stick to my stomach and gave me energy throughout the day. Other than fast casual meals and so-called hotel breakfast offerings, this is a solid place to dine. Would recommend reservations and a can-do attitude. You'll have a blast! read more

Customer service was terrible...but only for me. I ordered online while I was close by and saw they had a chai latte; so I decided to go inside instead of wait in the car. I asked the hostess (who was very dry) if I could sit at the bar and order a drink while I waited for my food. She said let me ask the person at the bar. She said yes, half cleaned an area (took used plates but left smeared condiments on counter) and allowed me to sit. I sat for 12 minutes while three different waitresses checked on others at the bar; all seemed to ignore me, not even making eye contact. I didn't even get a greeting. When the fourth employee came over, she made an excuse about no bartender when I informed her I'd been sitting and not acknowledged. I said I wanted a chai latte. Then they attempted to make it seem I was upset my order was late. I informed, "I do not have an issue with the wait." Another patron sat himself and was immediately helped. Other patrons noticed and even offered their champagne because it was so obvious. It takes nothing to greet paying customers and ask if they need any assistance. And even listen to understand instead of becoming defensive and creating a false issue; especially when the customer is patient, not irate and giving grace. read more

Anniversary weekend,spent in Greenville from Charleston. Sunday morn breakfast at 10am. Watched a whole baseball team go in a restaurant across the street, after we placed our order, eat and leave before we got our food. Watched a couple come in after we ordered, seated behind us, order and leave before we got our food. When we got our food, it was ice cold. Tried to fix it with redoing our order to go. Still charged us 70 bucks for the service. Watched another family, a bit peaved with their meal as well. There were at least 4 waitresses for the medium sized restaurant. It Set my mood for the remainder of my day read more

Our server was kind but the food was Nasty. The cheesy grits were yucky , the "biscuit" had no flavor and fell apart. My store bought biscuits taste better. The pancakes were to doughy, the potatoes came from a bag for sure. When we visit Greenville again this place will NOT be on our plans. Over $35 for 2 people. Very disappointed read more

NO on Flying Biscuit Server made a mistake and then argued with us. Rude all around server and manager. Won't be going back there. Food wasn't that great anyway . We explained the situation to the server and then to the manager who basically said the server told her something else and she was unable to do anything. Very short ,rude and walked away. Definitely not a good look in Greenville. read more

A waste of our time. We ordered a burger and a salad. Ten minutes later we were told that the burgers were frozen and it would take an hour to thaw. Five minutes later we were told that they were out of honey mustard. They only offer two salad dressings. When a restaurant can't provide the most basic offerings/ingredients it is time to go elsewhere. read more

Creamiest grits ever! I am a connoisseur of grits and these are the best I have ever had. I had the Freebird. The chicken was crispy, eggs perfectly cooked and the gravy flavorful. Overall great experience. read more

A cute and funky breakfast joint nestled in the heart of downtown Greenville! The place was packed on a Saturday morning however quick to get a table ready for us. The Piedmont omelete and breakfast scramble were so tasty and filling and paired with the fluffiest biscuits and cheesy grits I've ever tried! Food came out quick and hot. Definitely recommend if you're looking for some homey bfast food in the area. read more

Worst experience with a brunch spot. Server was nice and did fine but I have never waited so long for a biscuit entree. I watched a table come in after me and eat and leave before I even got my food. 3 tables that came in after me got their food and were halfway through eating before I got my food. All I got told was it will be out soon 3-4 diff times and never came until I had to ask someone to go check bc it was getting ridiculous. Waited over an hour and watched people that ordered after me get served and the food barely had flavor. Other customers were also not happy and were feeling the same way and even left. read more

First visit here today, and we got exactly what we hoped for. Food was delicious with juicy chicken. Reasonable prices. Kids LOVED it which can be hard to find downtown. Ambience is energetically welcoming. I've seen other reviews citing problems and that just wasn't our experience today. We dug it, recommend it especially for young families, and we will be back! read more

I went on a Sunday morning, and the wait to get a table was about 30 minutes. Not a bad wait. The coffee was weak, and the waitress was nice. We ordered, and it took 50 minutes to get our food. My table mate literally had bits with smoke salmon, and I had a tofu wrap (basically cold tofu, which I'm sure was already prepared). We literally saw people come in after us receive their food. We were seared right in front of the kitchen window. I saw other wait staff asking for their orders, and it seemed the take out orders were coming out faster. My wrap was average, devoid of much flavor. Yes, tofu can be flavorful. This was not. My table mate did enjoy her shrimp bowl. I would probably return and try a different dish. This visit was not a win for me. read more

Rarely leave reviews but shame on management for opening a restaurant on a day where they are so short staffed, the few staff members that show up can't do their job properly for things out of their control. My server was nice but clearly overwhelmed as she had only one other person to help her on the floor with over ten tables. My boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs and she warned us it might be overcooked a tad while he ordered it, to nobody's surprise it was, but so much fat and completely raw in some pieces. I ordered an egg and cheese biscuit with a side of grits and potatoes. The first biscuit I got had bacon on it (I'm a vegetarian) and the top half of the biscuit was broken all the way in half down the middle so even if I wanted to pick the bacon off of my food, the sandwich would then crumble due to it being not in one piece. I ended up returning the potatoes because they were dry and powdery and stale tasting from freezer burn. As a server myself I respect our waitress because she truly tried her best and put effort into making it right, but management set her up for failure, and no matter what she was going to be stretched too thin and not able to give the service the tables deserved because of how poorly staffed they were at the front. Close the restaurant for the day if you know you aren't going to be able to provide your employees with enough support for them to do their job properly. No manager on site either to help them. At the front of the door there's a sign saying there's a labor shortage in the restaurant business due to "challenges beyond their control", I know first hand if you paid your employees more than crumbs they'd want to work for you and you'd find good staff with no problem. If you can't afford to pay your employees a wage that they'd want to work for, your entire business model is unstable to begin with. And that is completely in your control. I want to make it abundantly clear that I'm not mad at my server AT ALL and she did the best she can and that's all I can ask for, gave her more than a 20% tip and I hope they give her a raise for even showing up and having to be the one to face the management's screw ups. Peace read more

I absolutely LOVE the location in Columbia. When I saw this spot right down the road from our hotel I begged my husband to let us eat here instead of just doing the free breakfast at our hotel. We have a toddler and an infant. Right when I walked into the almost empty restaurant Marianne set the tone. I almost turned around then and said never mind, but it was pouring down rain and we drug our kids out in it. She very rudely let us know that nothing could be added to the end of a table and acted as if it was a major inconvenience that we needed a sling for a carrier and a high chair. We never did get the sling. We sat down and asked about mimosas, she had not given us the drink menu so she left to get it. When she came back we ordered and she asked to see ID. Ok, cool. I do realize it's the law, however my husband had his. I am almost 35 years old at breakfast with my 36 year old husband. I said don't worry about it, I just wouldn't drink and but if he had not gone to get my license in the POURING down rain from our car around the corner, we wouldn't have be served. RIDICULOUS. To add insult to injury, if there was even any champagne in our mimosa, it was flat. I've never had a mimosa I just didn't care for but this was awful. The food was good. I don't even remembered what I ordered. The grits always get 5 stars. Terrible service ruined our experience and I absolutely will NEVER be back to this location again. Again- I don't expect rules to be broken but a decent attitude or a friendly disposition can make a big difference. read more

I'm 53, and I've never seen service as egregiously bad as that provided by Marianne today. Was clearly angry at the world today and did not check on us a single time. Only got a coffee refill by stopping her in the aisle. She dropped off a new cup and seemed offended when my wife handed her the empty. Never checked on us after dropping off the food so she never was able to get us a new pepper shaker because ours was empty. Never got a second refill on my "bottomless" cup of coffee. To top it off, the food was so-so, and definitely not worth the premium mark up. Finally, the check was brought to us in a dilapidated folder - at $15-20 a person for breakfast, you'd think the place could buy a new folder. Oh, and the bathroom looks like there was a dog fighting ring being run out of it. Only giving one star because 0 stars isn't allowed. Forgot to mention the food took more than 30 minutes and half the tables were empty. Edit: when I asked to talk to the manager, I was told that our horrible server was the manager... read more

I hate leaving 1 star reviews. But I also hate getting food poisoning. Usually love FBC that I go too. This one started out great. Got my food fast. The new chicken, biscuit and honey with eggs and an unsweetened tea. Tasted fine. Good service. But the problems started about later this afternoon. I have spent the past five hours on the floor of my bathroom. I can't stop evacuating from both ends. This is the only thing I ate today. I've had food poisoning once before and this is definitely it. read more

Good morning, I came into your restaurant yesterday for breakfast and sat at the bar. I was ignored by every single employee that was working that day! They all just looked at me and no one said hello can I help you! It's common courtesy to speak to customers! Then the waitress stated the host normally seats customers. Well this was not my first time at this location and I've never known a hostess to seat someone at the bar! I could not believe it as they should have recognize me from coming in before! I finally had to ask was someone going to help me! Then as I sat there I observed how other customers were treated who came and sat at the bar. They were greeted and treated extremely nice! I plan on sending this correspondence to your corporate office. Training is obviously needed! Common courtesy is badly needed! Not sure if I will ever be back to this location! What a big disappointment! Dwayne D'Mac McMillan The Guitartist that plays music downtown which brings people together! read more

I've been to the Flying Biscuit Cafe in Atlanta and I remember the line being out the door because the food was so good. So glad Flying Biscuit came to Greenville! The line on the weekends can still be pretty long but the times I've come here on a random weekday, there's no wait. Their menu has more than just your typical brunch menu items. There's sandwiches, burgers, quesadillas, you name it. They even have an extensive cocktail menu with mimosa flights, a variety of bloody marys, brunch cocktails and there's a whole section of coffee with liqueur mixed in. Everything I've had so far has been delicious! My personal favorites are their pancakes, grits and their grilled mac and cheese (which is essentially blocks of mac and cheese that's crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside). read more
