    Biscuits and gravy
    Stormy M.

    We visited here on a Thursday morning and had a small wait. The place was packed as there was only inside seating due to the rain outside. Our server was so kind as this was our first time here. She gave us lots of info as there were many options on the menu. All our food was so tasty. The biscuits were some of the best I've ever had; light, fluffy and fresh! Add some gravy and that meal was so delicious!! The hangover breakfast was so perfect and so much food that it was almost impossible to finish. The hot honey butter chicken n waffles spice was perfectly absorbed into the chicken tenders, each bite was absolutely flavorful. With all these wonderful breakfast choices, it was hard for the basic egg and sausage breakfast to score the same points, but the biscuit and grits that come with each plate really elevated this meal. If we drive through Athens again, this will definitely be a must stop location.

    Famous Flying Biscuit Breakfast
    Kyle W.

    So I had seen a few of these and decided to stop in they talk a huge game about their biscuits and even named the restaurant after their fluffy, airy, wonderful biscuits. Curiously I ordered the flying biscuit breakfast, 1 biscuit, 2 eggs, sausage, and creamy dreamy grits. Now being from the south I know a Pillsbury frozen biscuit when I see and taste one, these are 10000% frozen biscuits.... Forgivable in most situations but when they're hyped up this much it was a let down, dense and frozen tasting. Eggs were cooked perfect, the sausage might as well been beef jerky. Not sure how you make breakfast sausage tough like a bad sirloin but they managed. The grits....... Are the only reason this is going from 2 to 3 stars, the grits were as described, creamy and dreamy.

    Honey Butter Chicken Benedict
    Melvin H.

    Wife and I stopped in for a late morning bite to eat and thoroughly enjoyed the servings we had. Had the Chorizo Hash and my wife enjoyed her Honey Butter Chicken Benedict. Service was quick and with a smile. Next time we're in town, we'd definitely stop in again.

    Mini Shrimp and Grits
    Keosha J.

    The mini shrimp and grits are AMAZING! It was the right portion, extremely flavorful, and came out nice and hot. The price is very reasonable for the recipe along with a biscuit. I also ordered decaf coffee and they made it easy to distinguish between it and regular by using a different colored mug. This is great service because I can't have too much caffeine. This is my favorite dish here, so don't hesitate to try it.

    The high ceiling interior
    Thomas R.

    As I was writing this review I came across my own brother's review earlier this year, in which he accused Flying Biscuit of "suffering from a sense of self-importance" for a comparatively low "price-to-taste-ratio" (whatever that means). After coming here five months later, I can assure readers that either 1) he got the priciest thing on the menu or 2) Flying Biscuit lowered their prices. Flying Biscuit's prices were on par with J-Christophers or Big City Bread Company, but were leaps and bounds ahead in both quantity and quality. The French Toast my boyfriend got was genuinely some of (if not the) best French Toast I've ever had in Athens, while my pancake tacos were a delightful and exceptionally tasty spin on a traditional pancake and eggs breakfast. The interior was cute, the service was prompt, and the food tasted great. No doubt, Flying Biscuit Athens excels in the "price-to-taste-ratio."

    honey chicken and waffles and avacado toast
    Koraya H.

    I came on a Saturday and ordered their honey chicken and waffles with a side of avocado toast. The waffles and chicken were good, the chicken was a little chewy but that's if i'm being nitpicky. The avacado toast was good as well and was served on rye bread. If you're not a fan of tomatoes I wouldn't recommend the avacado toast. I came with my boyfriend and we both ordered a main and a side dish and our bill was barely $30 so the pricing is really nice as well! My food came out quick and the service was nice! The inside of the restaurant is really nicely decorated with many vibrant colors.

    $18.86....no refills on coffee.. what a rip off

That said, fight the traffic and construction weirdness and get your butt in here. I had the georgia peach French toast plate with eggs and bacon. Definitely the best French toast I've had in a long time. One (albeit minor) issue - they said they do "soft scrambled" eggs, but they came out pretty much regular. This is a common issue with pretty much every breakfast restaurant I go to, so no removal of a star. But I'd recommend you tell waitstaff that you don't do soft scrambled if you really don't.

Thus is my pain when recounting our visit to Mama's Boy. We stopped here for breakfast before heading out of town on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in September. Prior to visiting, I read that the wait here can be a bit intimidating but we lucked out coming on a day when there was an away football game which I think took some folks out of town as we only had to wait about 20-25 minutes. It's a casual joint where you order at the counter (but only after you've been given a table) and the food is bangin'. I was not playing it healthy here, going for the Truck Stop Biscuits & Gravy which was a biscuit topped with sausage gravy, sweet tea brined fried chicken, and topped with scrambled eggs. For my side I went with grits (because when in the south!) and of course I had a refreshing strawberry lemonade to wash it all down with. Everything was excellent. The biscuit was fluffy, the chicken was juicy, the gravy was flavorful...and it was all perfect together. And the grits were so rich and smooth and so very tasty! It was casual service but everyone who we encountered was really lovely. Bless the mama's boys of the world for bringing us such a delicious dining experience!

The food: I went with the Fried Chicken Blue Plate. Between the regular and the Nashville Hot, the Nashville was the winner--flavorful and moist without being overwhelming with the spice. Huge shoutout to my server for suggesting the brussel sprouts; that glaze is incredible and they were easily my favorite part of the plate. The mashed sweet potatoes were unique--I'm still debating if I liked them or loved them. The jalapeño cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste but on par with most restaurant cornbread. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but also didn't do much for me like most restaurant mac & cheese. The cocktail: Do not sleep on Nana's Naissance. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ingredients, but it's like an elevated take on Rumchata. The service: I was seated at the bar and experienced a noticeable delay--a group that arrived well after me almost finished their meal before mine arrived. However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.

I said well, you just lost business and shouldn't have your open sign (on the side of the building to draw in traffic) on or door unlocked. I don't understand business' mentality anymore. If I owned a business that served coffee in the mornings and someone came in 15-20 min before we opened because I had my sign on and door unlocked, I would say, "it may take a few extra minutes because we aren't open yet, but what can I get you?"
