Decided to get some breakfast at Flying Biscuit. I ended up getting the Flying Biscuit Breakfast which came with 2 eggs, grits, and chicken sage sausage with their $5 mimosa! They also give me a complimentary flying biscuit with some JAM and that biscuit & JAM was AWESOME! It's not that far from my job, I will definitely be back! read more

The service was nice and the food was good at The Flying Biscuit Cafe in Village District! I met a friend here on a Saturday at 10am for breakfast and we were sat right away. Freebird Benedict with Moon Dusted Potatoes: A twist on a Benedict - Chicken tenders, chicken sausage gravy, and a poached egg on top of a split biscuit. Yum! I loved the potatoes, the seasoning was on point! Fluffy Flying Biscuit with Cranberry Apple Butter: Great biscuit. The cranberry apple butter was nice, but I think I would prefer plain butter. Firecracker Shrimp Wrap with Truffle-Parmesan Fries: My friend had this and she let me try a shrimp and some fries. The shrimp was cooked well and I enjoyed the spice of the sauce. I enjoyed the fries too (really well seasoned), but I liked the Moon Dusted Potatoes that came with my dish more. There is a Flying Biscuit closer to my house, so I can't wait to check out that location next! read more

I like Flying Biscuit Cafe, but this particular location can be tough due to the long wait times. Luckily, my friend and I were able to grab a table near the bar without waiting too long. We both ordered a $5 mimosa to drink, which is a great deal. You also get a complimentary biscuit with jam to start and it is filling. For my meal, I ordered the Flying Biscuit breakfast, which comes with two eggs cooked your way, your choice of bacon or sausage, and their creamy dreamy grits. I went with scrambled eggs and sausage. The sausage was a bit overcooked but the grits were really good. Overall, it was a decent experience, but because of the wait times and inconsistency, this location wouldn't be my first choice. read more

We had a great brunch here! The pineapple salsa on the avocado toast added a refreshing flavor to it. The free biscuits are absolutely perfect and heavenly. Everyone in my group loved their food and special drinks like pancake tacos, stuffed French toast, banana matcha, chicken n waffles, and cold brew. The waitress was sweet and helpful and even on a Sunday morning they got us a table inside right away. read more

This restaurant was sooo busy on a Sunday just before noon. They were on an hour wait! The bar and high tops are first come, first serve and I was able to snag a high top. Most of the staff seemed very stressed with how busy it was, but service was still good. They had $5 mimosas - yum! I had the Southern Style Benedict with potatoes (you can sub potatoes for the grits) - it was a very large portion. read more

I'm a Southern girl who hates grits...unless they're from Flying Biscuit. This is the only place I will eat grits because they are actually creamy and flavorful. I was shocked to be seated so quickly on a nice Saturday morning at peak time. And, we were seated in a cozy semi private area with just three high top tables. Win! The food at a Flying Biscuit is always consistent and this location lived up to the reputation. My peach mimosa was so flavorful! Yeah, I'm mentioning a drink before food. The appetizer is a biscuit with apple butter. I don't care if you're counting calories or cutting carbs, you have to have a biscuit! These biscuits are the most fluffy you will have next to those at grandma's house. I had the eggs (scrambled) with chicken sage sausage and of course, grits. I cleaned my plate because everything on it was delicious. Definitely give this spot a try! read more

Something to know about me before you read my review. I am a huge breakfast head. I LOVE breakfast. A weekend morning run followed by a larger breakfast is probably the happiest that I get. And the breakfast here.... It's good. I'll start with the food. We were served a complimentary biscuit with their cranberry apple butter, which was a great start. It's tender and buttery and soft. Top notch. I ordered the stuffed French toast because the strawberry cheesecake version sounded really unique. It was tasty! I really enjoyed it. I also got the potatoes on the side and they were better than I expected. I usually prefer crispy hash browns. These potatoes were of the small, diced potatoes variety, but they were still good because they were cooked well and nicely seasoned. The ambiance and service of the restaurant are the only reason I don't give 5 stars. The service was not the most attentive I have had. And we were at a tiny table that was somewhat awkward and barely able to hold our dishes. I had to stack their coffee toppings bowls just to make it more comfortable. That all said, it's good! Don't lose sight of that. The food is worth it! And there are some unique dishes on the menu worth going back for. I look forward to my next trip! read more

The Flying Biscuit Cafe - Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is an example of how one business in a chain to another can make a world of difference. I've gone to the one near the Raleigh Airport twice and it was a 5/5 both times. This one was FAR FROM. The waitress was ok to get us our food, but after dropping off, she decided to go have breakfast in the back room instead of checking on our table properly. Didn't do a food-check after a couple minutes, late for coffee, late for bringing apple butter, late for bringing to-go, the check, and even giving the receipt back. We got there just after opening as well, so we were one of 2 tables for her Biscuits were awesome and everything else GOOD (wasn't a fan of chicken gravy but that is MY taste), but she couldn't have cared less. Will drive the extra mile to the other restaurant. Stay clear of this one. read more

I ordered the Chicken bisquits with gravy. Super rich and savory. The Hubs ordered the Waffles with grits, eggs, sausage and fruit. Both breakfast entrees enough for two. The biscuits with apple butter are so delish. I love the area and the artwork on the walls here. Service was a little slow but I didn't expect the food to come out quickly. read more

I really enjoyed my vegan tofu wrap, and appreciated that I was able to substitute the free biscuit for toast and the sweet potato fries for potatoes. The potatoes were a little too salty, but the spice blend and texture was very good overall. I really enjoyed my meal, and was grateful that there were three types of hot sauce at the table. Kylie and the server and training were very nice and helpful, and it's a super cute little restaurant. read more

Fantastic breakfast spot! The food was fresh and flavorful! The dishes we tried were delicious. They served fresh biscuits out first before the meal and yum, easily broke apart! Chicken & waffles here is a must! Portion sizes were perfect. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Definitely a place we would come back to for breakfast when we visit Raleigh! read more

Excellent breakfast food and Service! We had a big group for breakfast. I love their salmon and cream cheese omelette. It's delicious! The potato side is generous. We also have a kid who likes the pancakes. read more

We came by while in the area on a Sunday morning. We Had a Dirty Bird, waffle with chicken, egg and sausage gravy and Avacado toast along with coffee and decaf. We did not wait long for breakfast, they serve you a biscuit and Applebutter while you wait. The biscuits are very good. The Avacodo toast is one slice with chopped tomatoes and onion and balsamic glaze, I had them leave off salt and red pepper flakes. It was very good. The Dirty bird was also good with the waffle being great, light and fluffy. The restaurant is not large but very comfortable for a nice breakfast. read more

Good food! Good service. Good ambiance. The biscuits are delicious. This place gets busy on the weekends but, the service is excellent and they manage to get the food out to people fairly quickly. The Flying Biscuit cafe is definitely worth a visit. read more

Noisy restaurant with bland food that is a bit overrated. It is jam packed during brunch and I think most folks are there due to the lack of brunch restaurants in the area. Also the wait staff here is not especially friendly and at least in our example they seemed to tolerate us more than host us. The breakfast brunch menu is extensive so I have to give an extra star for that read more

After attending a social walk at Shelley Lake, we were in the mood for some brunch. I wasn't sure whether to choose the iced vanilla latte or a mimosa and your girl got the iced vanilla latte and no disappointments. I ordered the piedmont omelette, and switched the potatoes for French toast. The chicken sausage tastes good, but I wish I stuck with the potatoes instead of French toast. The French toast was a bit dry and overcooked but with my iced coffee and omelette, I enjoyed it. The biscuits and Jam provided after drinks, were yummy. (It tastes better than the French toast by the way). Wait time wise; We went around 11:30, early 12ish and it was busy. It started slowing down around 1:30 when we were leaving. There was a wait for about 25-30mins and the waiting sitting area was small along the entrance way. At times it was too crowded. The restaurant was cute with lots of love and kindness. Overall, I enjoyed the space and food. I would go again, but would definitely try something else. read more

This is such a great local breakfast spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and their biscuits are wonderful, definitely live up to the name. Everything we ordered was good, nothing over-the-top magical, but consistently delicious and reliable for an easy breakfast or brunch. Big shoutout to our waitress Kathleen, who was so kind and knowledgeable. She knew the menu inside and out and helped us figure out exactly how much food to order for two people sharing dishes which was super helpful! All around, a solid go-to for a laid-back breakfast with great service. read more

The service was good! We got our food quickly after ordering. For drinks we had a matcha lemonade and snickerdoodle latte. The matcha lemonade was not very tangy . The snickerdoodle latte was really good. I had that hot. If you like drinks sweet you should ask for extra sweeteners. For food we got beignets, chicken and waffles, and the southern benedict. The beignets and benedict were really good. The chicken and waffles were not good. The waffles tasted like they were from a college cafeteria. The chicken was good though. Also they played a disney playlist the whole time. It was good, but a little loud. read more

Went there for a late breakfast with my wife. There were a lot of people seated outside and we were seated immediately inside. It was quite busy but the server was very attentive.

First time at Flying Biscuit Cafe this morning! We got in around 9:30am on a Sunday morning and got a table for 4 with no wait time, which was nice. The server was very prompt and got our coffee and tea orders right after we sat down. We started off with the complimentary biscuits and cranberry apple butter - the biscuits were deliciously fluffy, buttery, and large, and were complimented perfectly by the sweet and tangy cranberry apple butter! The biscuits had sugar sprinkled on top which was a nice, fun touch. I love how they give you complimentary biscuits because we would have ordered some otherwise. My husband got the Hot Honey Butter Chicken Waffle - the chicken was nicely crunchy and had lots of spice! This was balanced out by the sweetness from the honey and syrup. The waffle was nice and fluffy with a crunchy exterior. I ordered a custom omelette - egg white with smoked salmon, goat cheese, peppers, and onion. It was exactly what I was looking for! It came with a side of creamy grits and they were exactly that - very creamy and extremely buttery, can't complain there. Overall this was a fun breakfast spot with lots of menu options and we will be back! The main ding I have is that there was a constant swarm of bees on the porch outside which was rough to walk through coming into the restaurant. read more

This was probably the fourth or fifth time I've been here and each time the experience has been consistently good. We were here on Thursday and had a larger group of adults. Initially they put us in a large booth and we asked to switch to a table. They were very accommodating. We had a variety of breakfast items. The best were the grits and biscuits with gravy. Eggs with cheese were cooked perfectly. My dad's Benedicts were great too. You can call about an hour ahead and add your name to the list yo save some time because the wait can get long. Also long are the bathroom lines. Everyone they hire has been a wonderful lovely addition. read more

I came here for the first time on a Saturday morning (yes, the wait was like an hour) and it was so much fun!!! The pimento cheese balls were oh so heavenly. I got the stuffed French toast and I thought it was going to be too tangy with a cream cheese tang, but no! It was perfectly sweet and smooth! I loved it! Grits were yummy and sausage/eggs were just the norm. Overall a very good time. read more

The food here is always good and we always love the biscuits and jam you get while you wait. The staff is nice but the inside is always a bit loud and they don't take reservations, so if you go on a weekend go right when they open or except to wait up to an hour. I've liked every meal I've gotten here. read more

Walked in on a Monday morning and it was a 20 min wait, but the two of us were able to be sat immediately at the bar. The ambiance gave the feeling of village tavern meets local breakfast house with cool wall art and bright colors. I appreciated the care towards their staff and customers they took due to being short on servers so some tables were closed to service. Our server/bartender was very attentive even though she was admittedly very busy- she did great work! I also appreciated their willingness to share this information. The menu was expansive- not overly creative but had just enough diversity and complexity. They provide complimentary biscuits which are the perfect combination of salty, doughy, sweet and airy. I had the California Dreaming- basically Avocado toast with fried eggs and diced tons - eggs were cooked perfect- nice runny yolk. I do wish I had been given an option of how I preferred my eggs though. The avocado with sea salt was good. But overall it was just kind of boring. My daughter had the breakfast burrito- again it was kind of plain - even with salsa and sour cream. We split a side of gravy and biscuits- because their name is Flying Biscuit!! Honestly- they were good- the biscuits were sooooooo good- but the gravy was too thick and cold. It did have nice large chunks of sausage that we enjoyed! It was also a little on the sweet side for sausage gravy. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a hearty breakfast, no frills. The biscuits themselves were AMAZING and I would return just for the plain biscuits! read more

The meals come with complimentary biscuits which is really nice. They were warm, buttery, and soft. I was pleasantly surprised with my sandwich. The flavor combination was actually pretty interesting. I think the bread could have been toasted better, but the green tomato was nice and crispy and soft was the bacon. The sweet potato fries were also delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and was really happy with his order. I think this place is definitely appropriately priced for its food. read more

This restaurant had beautiful decor and the food was yummy. It has a small town field with a big town flavor in the heart of Raleigh. We did have to wait one hour to be seated, but the food was tasteful. Their staple biscuit was absolutely amazing. The signature sauce to pair with the biscuit was delicious. I have never tasted a sauce as good as this one. The service was also great. Our server was always checking up on us. We will definitely be returning and we highly recommend it. read more

I'll start with the good. The food is really great, but only if you order speciality items. Things like bacon, eggs, sausage and potatoes....Waffle House, Eggs Up Grill, First Watch--they all do way better. However, specialty items like stuffed French toast or the smoked salmon scramble are freaking amazing. The biscuits and gravy is really good or you can just get the cranberry apple butter that they make onsite if you're not into delicious sausage gravy. Biscuits are a little dry but not so much as "choke me daddy" dry biscuits...you shouldn't have a hard time breathing when eating them but I like my biscuits a tad bit more moist. The service here has really gone downhill hence my 2 star review. I would probably give it 4 otherwise. Servers often take your order and are never to be seen again, no refills, no condiments like hot sauce, no missing items....they bring your drinks the first time, take your order, then never bring you a coffee refill and only show up when it's time to get the check demanding their 20-25% tip as if they were doing their job. I had a particularly bad experience recently when I stopped in just to get a coffee. Waited at the "wait for host to seat you" sign for five minutes, no one was interested in seating me so I went to the bar where no less than 3 employees completely ignored me. I think I must have caught them during changeover, it was around 1pm maybe 2pm....not a single employee acknowledged me after being there for 15 minutes. I ended up leaving without anyone saying a single word to me. So if you want good service, go to Waffle House where at least they will greet you when you come in. read more

To had the Piedmont Omelette, berries and English Muffin. It was all good but a bit short of great. The omelette was slightly overcooked, with some brown on the eggs. On the other hand, the English muffin was undercooked with no browning on the top. It was chewy instead of crispy. The berries are always great as is the service. read more

Waffles, home fries, and flying biscuits...oh my! I went here while showing off Raleigh to a friend visiting from NYC and we absolutely loved this place. From the lively environment, friendly staff, and awesome food we could have stayed all morning if it wasn't for a much needed nap after stuffing our faces. Tips: The seats fill up quickly and the waitlist grows fast...unless you get there super early I would recommend calling an hour before you plan on eating to get on the waitlist as they don't take traditional reservations . read more

Sat at counter since I was by myself. Local news on TV and good music - not too loud. Ordered a Roadrunner Juice for $5.99 with Kale, carrot, cucumber, celery, Fuji Apple and ginger. I love that Cakes are GF and made with black beans, corn meal, tomatillo salsa, sour cream, feta cheese, and red onion. I got them with a side salad. I hadn't been here in a while because there was limited GF options. I'm very impressed by the number of gluten free options. read more

What a fun place for breakfast (or bunch)! The vibe was colorful and bright! We had an attentive waitress and were seated as soon as we arrived! I ordered a hot tea, and the lovely way it arrived was unexpectedly lovely! Then we were given a biscuit with a side of apple butter (I had never had), can I just say AMAZING?! The biscuit was super fluffy and still warm and the apple butter was just perfect- after getting the biscuit, I wished I had ordered something other than a bacon, egg and cheese ON A BISCUIT!! Oh well, back to the gym! Yes, I ate almost all of it! The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the egg sandwich was cold. But I'm still glad we went!! read more
