Bantam & Biddy - Chicken mash potatoe bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Gluten Free is a must have in our family. We enjoyed the Chattanooga location a few years prior so when we found a location within 10 minutes of our hotel in Amelia Island, we were quite excited. Unfortunately we picked a day where 2 cooks and 1 server all called in sick so we had to wait about 40 minutes for our food. Note- This review does not reflect this wait time, only the food and prices. When the food finally arrived it was just sub par and also had me questioning the high prices. I ordered the chicken caesar wrap with a side of the deviled egg potato salad and an additional side of the cheddar mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was $5.99. $5.99 for no more than 3 ounces of sub par mac and cheese. They are making a killing on their side dish prices. Kraft mac and cheese would have been better and 1/6th the price. The wrap was average at best. The workers were working hard for being understaffed, I will give them that. We really have no desire to come to a Bantam and Biddy again if we are in the area. read more

Recently went to the Amelia island location and it was an amazing experience- from the super sweet server/host at the counter to the amazing food. I highly recommend! She suggested the Brussel sprouts as a side item and man they did not disappoint- best Brussel sprouts I've ever had! Again, AMAZING service and DELICIOUS food! read more

We had an enjoyable experience here for breakfast. They open at 7, which many other places do not here so that's a big plus! Loads of gluten-free options. I had the 2 egg breakfast and added avocado. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I also tried a fireball latte...delicious! Not spicy as the name might lead you to believe. Great cinnamon flavor. I had mine with soy milk and it was quite creamy. Amanda helped us at the counter and she made the coffee. She had that filled to the rim and somehow didn't lose a drop on the way to the table. We even got help from the kitchen trying to solve a clue in our word puzzle! Thank you! Great atmosphere. Super nice staff. Yummy food. What more can you ask for? read more

So many gluten free options on the menu. Multiple tables, large and small booths and outdoor patio seating. Lots of TVs around with different programming on. Order at the counter. Staff was very friendly. Enjoyed the fried chicken. Served hot since our order was prepped fresh. The coating is well seasoned but if you get meat bites without the breading, it is bland/underseasoned. The Mac and cheese was very good though a little pricey for the serving size. The fried green tomatos were also good but again, overpriced for only two slices. Banana bread was good too. read more

The friendliest lady at the order counter to start! She was so nice, so friendly and had all sorts of good suggestions. We were craving breakfast and they serve eggs late in the day so we came to check it out. My bf had the biscuit egg sandwich and it was a good size. Everything is sort of à la carte, so he also added a side of the breakfast potatoes. I did the breakfast tacos and they were HUGE! I needed a side plate to be able to eat them! The fried chicken (tenders) were phenomenal. A light crispy batter and not greasy at all. Overall very good food and plenty of seating inside. Nice and bright and airy inside and lots of different types of tables and booths to fit your party size. read more

Like other reviews, the food was pricey and relatively bland in flavor. Food portions are very generous, but mine was missed when everyone's food came out, so I had to wait another 15 mins or so before I could eat. read more

My favorite breakfast place on the island. Got the Southern Deluxe and it was excellent. Everything was delicious especially the cornbread muffin. Paid a little more for blueberry pancakes but barely put a dent in them. Would definitely return and get the banana bread waffle next time. read more

I really enjoyed their cheddar biscuits and gravy. The only complaint I have I that they couldn't make hot drink when I went. The staff were very nice and friendly. read more

Just not very good, over priced and limited options or variations. Seems like they should have quite a few more options

Nice little place hidden in a corner of a shopping center. I have been wanting to try it for awhile. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The menu is on the wall and you order at the counter. The lady at the counter was very helpful. I had the banana bread waffle with chicken. I thought banana but banana bread so it took me a minute to appreciate wonderful flavor. Taste just like grandma's banana bread. The chicken was tenders but they were also really good. I thought it was a little pricy but the food was great. They say you can't have both. read more

I decided to eat here from a friend who recommended it. I ordered the caesar wrap with sweet potato fries and fried pickles. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the caesar wrap at all. Needless to say the chicken was extremely dry, and most of the wrap was just lettuce. There was very little dressing, and the tortilla was falling apart, making it hard to eat since it was practically crumbling. The sweet potato fries were the absolute best i've had from any restaurant, I would come back just for those. The fried pickles were extremely salty, and the ranch it came with was very runny. Overall, while this visit was underwhelming, I might return and give a different entree a try with a side of the sweet potato fries. read more

The chicken waffles are incredible. The chicken was amazingly moist and it has gluten-free. Waffle came with syrup and butter. That was excellent. I had an egg white omelette with plain grits and really enjoyed it. Jalapeños were very fresh. Lastly, the sweet potato fries are incredible. Nothing wiggly, all crisp, clearly homemade. All gluten-free. The service is excellent. The girl is very thoughtful. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Chicken waffles and fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

This was our first time trying this place. When you come in you order at the counter. The lady taking out order was super friendly and helpful. I changed my coffee order part way through and when I apologized she said no worries, I will make anything you want. So very genuine. I got a Cozy Cinnamon Roll Latte. I really liked it, just wish there was a little more Cinnamon flavor in it. It was still delicious! She was training someone on making a latte and came over to make sure it was made well, I told her it was, my preference doesn't change how good the drink was made! I ordered the protein scramble. The flavors were great. The butter mix was an awesome added flavor. Tim ordered the banana nut waffles with chicken which he said was good. read more

Great restaurant, friendly staff, and amazing food! We loved their breakfast so much we ate there twice while we were in town. Highly recommend you check them out. read more

Visited for breakfast on New Year's Day. I was expecting a sit down restaurant and was surprised to see the order counter and menu posted in the wall when we walked in. Once you order and pay, you're given a number for a table or booth if your choosing and the food is brought to you. I had checked the menu and reviews beforehand and knew I would order the fried chicken and cheddar waffle. My husband ordered an omelette that is offered with grits (he is not a fan) Beware of the 'no substitution' policy. The orange juice is fresh squeezed and delicious - expensive and worth it. The chicken tenders were hot, tasty and surprisingly juicy. The cheddar waffle with bourbon maple syrup was beyond great. The omelette was also fresh, hot and more than filling even without a side. We couldn't finish all of the food. Our longer than expected wait time for food was justified by everything being delivered fresh and hot. A little impersonal for a breakfast spot, but overall a varied menu well executed. read more

Service subpar. Expected a a tip for barely acknowledging us and placing my order for food. Maybe they should consider actually installing a couple bathrooms so that the people don't have to wait in a line going through the restaurant as their other patrons or trying to eat. Maybe they could actually wipe the tables off before the patrons try to sit down and eat their food. Everyone working there could not be bothered keeping the place clean or attending to customers needs. Perhaps the management needs to wake up. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Line of 10 people waiting to use the bathroom - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

First timers at B&B. Arrived after church on a Sunday at Noon. Lunch for two. Ordered chicken Caesar wrap and a grilled chicken plate. Still sitting here at 1:05pm with no food. Won't be back. No food is worth this wait. read more

It's a fast pace place, they were very busy, so I give them grace. Front end staff was very kind and helpful, they did not rush us when ordering. The food was Waffle House quality in my opinion, but much more expensive. $70 for 3 people, is wild to me. The only edible thing was the eggs. The biscuit and cornbread were so dry you could not eat them. I probably could have added something to the grits to make them more palatable, but I wasn't interested at that point. read more

YUM!!! A Celia's comfort food heaven! Everything that goes in the fryer is gluten-free! Every item is made with a celiac in mind. Only a handful of things celiac can't have but great caution with cross contamination. A nice addition that everyone there is SO nice, great service, and the outdoor patio has a cute fire place with great ambiance. read more

I loved the fried chicken biscuit with egg and cheese. The chicken was perfectly fried and seasoned, and the biscuit was delicious. The restaurant is in a small shopping center with indoor and outdoor seating available. Order at the counter. I still miss their location in midtown Atlanta. read more

First off I want to say that the ambiance and friendliness at this restaurant is off the charts. We went for a late breakfast/brunch and had an amazing time. We met two amazing staff Charli and Sheldon. These two went beyond expectations and were upmost helpful. The food was amazing. I ordered the French Toast with the Bourbon Pecan Syrup and it was the best I've ever had. I fully recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

I'm a huge breakfast fan and in the 3.5 years I have lived in Fernandina Beach, Ive eaten at the local breakfast places. All good in their own right, but until today that I ate at Bantam & Biddy, for the first time, I can say I believe I found my favorite breakfast place! This is judging from the amazing Southern Deluxe platter, the scrambled eggs were fresh, soft but not runny nor dried. The bacon fried to a crispy perfection, not burnt or undercooked. The grits, creamy and taste like it didn't come out of a box. Then the pancake, fluffy and spongy; they didn't get soggy even after the half a pint of syrup I poured over. This also comes with fried okra...yes, you read that right. This was also perfectly fried, the batter was crispy and crunchy and none of that okra slime that gives it a bad reputation. And finally, the cheese jalapeño cornbread, a small muffin that has the right amount of heat with good texture, not crumbly dry. Yes, I ate like a Viking in this unusually cold day in Northern Fl. We woke up to 24 degrees; the vegetation and some natives are not happy about that, so I needed this gigantic meal to keep warm. I can't wait to come back and try the French Toast and Chicken and Waffles...Now, I must go home and participate in proper hibernation. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Southern Deluxe Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

This was an awful decision. When we arrived there was no one in line but several came in right after us. We waited 10 minutes so she could makes drinks for a previous customer, took our order and 20 minutes before I went back and yet again asked for a cup so I could get my own coffee. Food was horrible. Omelette was so cold they put the cheese chicken and onions in after it was cooked. The cheese couldn't even melt, the onion was raw and the chicken cold. Toast is cold. The only thing warm was the orange juice... and they wanted tipped when you pay? For what service? read more

First off. One of the friendliest restaurants on the island. Very helpful. They even told jokes back and forth with us. Ahhhhhhmazing. We had their iced coconut coffee to start. 3 of us split a spicy chicken tender with wasabi honey. It was out of this world tasty. We each got the Southern Breakfast Extended version. The grits were on point, pancake's delicious, the jalapeño cornbread was exquisite! Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent breakfast everything was very well seasoned. Friendly staff. Cute interior and exterior seating.

Clean, well lighted place. Order at the counter; they bring it to whatever table you choose, indoors or out. Value is good; portions are good sized. Prices are fair. They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Staff is very friendly. Good choice for quick food that isn't fast food! read more

There are so many tempting options on the menu at Bantam and Biddy, but I normally have a hard time ordering anything besides the Southern Cobb Salad. It's like the Fresh Prince said, "Cause if it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it". Thanks to the menu board outside the restaurant, I stepped outside of my comfort zone due to yesterday's special of a Breakfast Burger, and I'm glad I took a chance. The lead actors of the special - burger and biscuit - it's like they read a page of my hangover diary. Burger, biscuit, egg, avocado, and bacon - where you at Hardee's? The special lived up to the standard. My ex-girlfriend, now wife, got the Southern Cobb with sautéed shrimp - they nailed it, again. Maybe next time I'll try something new again, but then again, maybe I won't. read more

Tried getting into several restaurants, even to just sit at the bar to no luck. (I'm very happy restaurants in Fernandina were busy!) I just did not want to cook!! Bantam & Biddy takeout was the answer!! Everything we ordered was delicious and gluten free! I've only been here for breakfast and that was delicious as well. This will be forever a takeout option for us. read more

We were a little late for lunch, but we thoroughly enjoyed our quick bite. The staff was nothing but helpful, with several of them stopping by to make sure we had everything we needed. The Bacon Ranch Chicken sandwich was piping hot and large enough to need to be cut in half to enjoy. We ordered it fried (grilled is an option) and added avocado. Delicious! We visited a month or so ago for breakfast. The omelet and the southern breakfast were equally delicious. My father-in-law didn't care for the added fried okra (served whole), but I thought it added a unique, but perfect balance to the eggs and grits. This adorable eatery is located in the same shopping center as Harris Teeter with both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating provides multiple options, based on your preference, with tables, booths, high tops, and even bar seating directly across from the kitchen and grille. A perfect location to grab a bite before or after errands, as well as a trip to the beach. All things are possible when you are lucky enough to find yourself on Amelia Island. read more

Went around 10-11 and there was no wait. Took about 10 minutes to get our food to the table. The brunch was delicious. I got a standard breakfast and my fiancée got a fried chicken biscuit. We also got some iced lattes. Sat on the patio. read more

Great restaurant for gluten-free options. I only wish they had gluten-free pancakes but they do offer gluten-free waffles.

There always nice and very attentive the food is great eat There atleast twice a week

This place is very good. I got the doc bauer burger plus the fried okra and jalapenos, very polite employees. I would love to come back!!!

It was ok. You order the meal at the counter, get your number and they bring it out to you. It is set like semi fast food so drinks and all are all self service I got the chicken tender breakfast skillet. I have to admit it was a lot of food. 3 eggs cooked to order, potatoes, shredded chicken along with 3 tenders. Tenders were taken home. Meal was good but was just missing that personal touch. Wasn't expecting the semi fast food service. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Best French Toast I've had in a while, and well priced. Wife had banana waffle and raved about it.

Service ok. Food was bland. We had waffles and chicken. Even whipped butter was flavorless.

Would love to have a Salmon Salad on the menu with the kales Caesar salad or a spring mix with berries and sugars pecans or walnuts.
