| - We found Biscuits Cafe (Biscuits with an 's' even though the Yelp page is singular) in an unassuming strip mall in front of Smart and Final. I was not expecting much when we pulled up, but the exterior is misleading because once you step inside this place is large, bright, and airy. I found it very refreshing. We stopped by closer to lunch than breakfast, so the rush was over and we were seated right away.
We ordered the Smoked Brisket Benedict $10.59 and the Joe's Scramble $10.49. Both were eggs-cellent (haha).
The Benny comes with mesquite smoked brisket, English Muffin, 2 poached eggs, and hollandaise with a side of hashbrowns or red potatoes. The brisket was fantastic- tender, moist, with rich flavor. The hollandaise flavor fell a little flat, but was okay. Hashbrowns, standard diner fare.
The scramble comes with FOUR eggs, spinach, onions, tomatoes, bacon, potatoes (in the scramble), and parm on top. This thing was massive and dense and all the flavors played well off each other. But, man, it fills you up fast because it is so hearty! I would likely 86 the potatoes in future. They were unnecessary (IMO). As if the dish itself were not large enough, this scramble comes with a side of biscuits, toast, or pancakes. Since I'm obsessed with finding the perfect pancakes, I went for those and they were pretty darn good! Fluffy with crispy edges.
We will definitely be back when venturing to the West Side.
