The Flying Biscuit Cafe

Very nice restaurant with great food and great servers. The grits were really good. All of the servers were extremely nice and attentive to us. Will be coming back soon.

Waited 40 minutes. Cool space. Waffles were ordinary, chicken was good but served room temp. Just good. Fried green tomatoes were delicious!!

I recently had the chance to visit The Flying Biscuit Cafe in Midtown Atlanta, a spot that's been on my and my out-of-town friend's to-visit list for a while. The anticipation was high, especially with the rave reviews about their breakfast menu. My brother and I went for the eggs, biscuits, and gravy, accompanied by grits and a side of bacon. My friend opted for the Georgia peach waffle, also with a side of bacon. Starting with the positives, the service was efficient and courteous, embodying the quick and direct approach that gets you in and out without much delay. It's worth noting, though, that the cafe has a strict full-party presence policy before seating, which we saw enforced rather strictly. As for the food, the grits were surprisingly the highlight of the meal for me - and I'm not usually a fan. They were creamy and well-seasoned, a pleasant surprise amidst an otherwise underwhelming experience. The eggs and biscuits were standard fare, nothing to write home about but satisfactory. However, the chicken sausage gravy left much to be desired. It was bland, lacking in both depth and the expected savory punch of salt. My friend's Georgia peach waffle, while aesthetically pleasing with its generous peach topping and drizzle of syrup and cream, fell short on texture. The waffle itself was dry on the inside, which was a disappointment given the promising appearance. A side note for future visitors: the cafe doesn't offer much flexibility in terms of menu substitutions or customizations, so be prepared to choose directly from the menu. Despite the bustling lines and the local hole-in-the-wall atmosphere that usually signifies a gem, the food didn't quite live up to our expectations. While the experience wasn't all negative, thanks to the service and a couple of satisfactory dishes, the lackluster flavors in what should have been the meal's highlights make me hesitant to return. For those drawn in by the cafe's popularity, I'd recommend tempering expectations, especially if you're a fan of rich, flavorful breakfast classics.

Ive been to their Kennesaw location multiple times and absolutely love it. I tried this midtown location for the first time today and unsurprisingly the experience was just as excellent. My go to is the oatmeal pancakes which are hearty and delicious. This place really gives off a homey sunday family breakfast atmosphere and Im convinced there is nothing bad on the menu. The service was great and I wish I had the name of my waitress today but she was excellent. Very kind, and on top of it. To top it all off, I mentioned to her that despite having been to the restaurant multiple times - I had never tried one of their famous biscuits (my go to order drops of Jupiter doesnt come with one) my waitress then gave me one for free even after I paid my checkand it lived up to the hype. Well done to the staff at this place and I will for sure be a routine customer.
