| - I come from a long line of breakfast lovers and inkeepers, so I am always on the hunt for a fulfilling, delicious, fresh breakfast. Honestly I'm always trying to find a replacement for my beloved Hobee's in the SF Bay Area, with no avail. Well Flying Biscuit is certainly popular in the QC and has a large number of tables. As someone else put, it has a colorful and fun interior.
The menu has several egg options but for some reason or another I really only saw 1 or 2 I would eat. One time the veggie scramble was awesome, the last time it had a funky taste. Their Shrimp & Grits was 5/5 awesome because their "creamy dreamy grits" are appropriately named. I ate myself sick in fact. The first time I went I was so excited to see organic oatmeal pancakes with peaches, as I always make it a tradition to have Cracker Barrel's freestone peach pancakes after triathlons and I always try and eat organic. Alas, they were such a disappointment and I had to scrape off the nasty peaches. The Stud didn't believe me until he tried it. That said, they totally redeemed themselves with their chocolate chip pancakes that are to DIE for- 5/5 perfectly fluffy but with a nice hard edge to them (trust me). Wow. Their "signature" chicken sausage is really disappointing. We have Aidell's Chicken Apple sausage from Costco every weekend and Flying Biscuits' sausage can't even come close to comparing. Dry and meh.
Here's the confusing part- the biscuits, after which the restaurant is named is not the best part of the meal. They are indeed a bit hard (even at peak times) and they have a nice flavor but are definitely not soaked in lard so they tend to be a bit dry. They seem NOT to be southern style which is odd. Eh?
Coffee is OK, OJ is OK, peach nectar is delish.
Service is average. So as you can see, some things are GREAT, and some things are meh. To people that don't have such high breakfast standards, it's probably great. To me, the search continues...
Tip: Check in on Foursquare and get free OJ or dessert.
