| - POW!
The Flying Biscuit Cafe gets a top-rope flying high five from me. Maybe folks in the south are spoiled with breakfast spots unlike I am in the Midwest - but damn ya'll, this place is outstanding. First off, the whole menu is served all day long.
I decided to start of with a Sledgehammer, nice name for a drink with four shots of espresso. This thing was a perfect fix for my late evening and early morning (not my idea to get up early!) I sat on the patio and fired up the laptop (yes, free wifi) to send off a few emails.
The service was great, attentive and friendly. I got the High Flyer over-easy which comes with an array of vegetables, a few eggs, a biscuit (duh!), grits and a pancake with peach compote. My reason for the early morning ordered the shrimp and grits & a bowl of tomato basil soup. Sounded a bit odd to me too, given the 830a hour.
The food came quickly and was served piping hot! +1! I enjoyed everything on my side of the table even the grits which seem to be made different in every part of the country. Even the lower carolina doesn't make them the same as NC. The biscuits didn't wow me nor disappoint me, and are served with a spicy jam.
I will be back again - I think. Unless there are just that many good breakfast stops in Charlotte. If this is one of the least appetizing, I can't wait to sink my teeth into the best!
