Biscuits to start the meal
Elizabeth N.

We made a reservation for 8 at 1 pm. They seated us by the door and the hostess stand which isn't an issue but it was chilly, busy and we were forgotten. We came to celebrate my girls birthdays and while the server was kind, she was busy. No water refills, had to ask for the right number of plates for biscuits, bacon was dropped on the floor--which they replaced. I'm sure the staff was wiped after the big WIN last night but the way others talked about it my expectation was higher. I will say we did enjoy the food but my truffle fries forgot the truffle. I'd give it another chance but set my expectations accordingly.

Breakfast burrito w/fruit.
Chris K.

We visited for the first time recently after attending a film nearby. We seemed to hit it at a lull so were quickly seated. Our waitress was warm and did a great job keeping tabs on us during our visit. I got the breakfast burrito with fruit on the side. The burrito was Huge and with as many different ingredients inside, it wasn't very flavorful, which was odd. I definitely had leftovers to take home. The fruit was good and fresh. My spouse got the classic Benedict with grits. She thought both were just okay, but the eggs were beyond poached. We each got a biscuit on the side, which were disappointing. Both were smaller than expected and not fluffy. I wondered how fresh they were. So we've been there, done that, and don't know if there's really enough to entice us to return.

Hot honey butter chicken and waffle
Rachel C.

Nice outdoor seating. Our waitress was attentive and friendly in spite of the busy time. I got the hot honey butter chicken and waffles and was not a fan... it tasted like an acidic buffalo sauce when I expected more of a hot honey that blended better with the waffle... My husband got the Wake Up burger was a solid 4 for both of us. Juicy, loaded and delicious. One nice perk is that they gave us a free biscuit and apple butter that was good!

Freebird Benedict
Bethany K.

Went back again this afternoon for a later brunch and they were fully jam packed but we barely waited 5 mins for a table, our waiter was so kind and helpful and checked in on us many times, and our food came out quickly. Also I tried something new and got the Freebird Benedict and it was amazing. Perfect biscuit, super crispy chicken, and the sausage gravy hits every time. My friends got stuffed French toast and pancakes and said they were amazing. Already left a review once but wanted to come back again just to hype up the quality and service because it was truly stellar today.

I'm never disappointed with the food at this place. Although I always visit their Brier Creek location, this location has gained a new customer! I went on a Tuesday so there were no long wait times to be seated. Our waitress was very attentive which is a plus. The inside was chill as always. It does seem a bit smaller than the Brier Creek location, but it's not a deal breaker. Things to mention: They have a great smoothie selection & kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree.

Vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso
Shirlyn Jung J.

As soon as you walk in, you greeted with a smile! We have come here about four times now and have not been disappointed, not even once. The flavor is really good! I've had the pancake tacos. We've also had the steak and eggs. The grits are amazing. The only thing that I think is just average is their potatoes I would add more seasoning to the potato along with maybe some green peppers or red peppers and onions would make those potatoes pop! We look forward to going back just to try the different things on the menu would totally recommend the flying biscuit

Biscuit
Melody B.

Busy location, but they have a waitlist you can join through Yelp to cut down on your wait time. I did this and had maybe a 3 minute wait when I arrived at the restaurant. We did ask to sit outside since we'd have to wait longer waiting for a table inside. Full transparency...the inside is small and LOUD. They have a decent amount of tables, but everything is so close together and the noise echoes. Just a heads up if you do eat outside... The outside tables under the roof are not the greatest. They had bars near where your legs go, so it was very easy to keep knocking into the table with your leg and spill drinks. Now on to the food... The biscuits are always A+. You can't go wrong with them. I ordered one of their specials for July - Firework Fruit Pancake. I'm a huge pancake fan, but the raspberry sauce kind of knocked my rating down of it. Service was fine. If you like biscuits, The Flying Biscuit is the perfect breakfast/brunch place for you.

We didn't finish our food cause it wasn't good, flavorless.
Phylicia R.

I don't usually do bad reviews but when I don't finish the food, someone needs to know why. The place is clean, the service is good, our waitress was super nice! The food, BLAND! No flavor what so ever. The only thing that was good were the biscuits & the apple butter. The food sounds good on the menu, it even looks good when they bring it out, but as far as taste goes... salt & pepper can't save it. Not even the hot sauce. The waffle wasn't sweet, had no type of flavor. The "hot" chicken, was not spicy but also bland. The gravy over the waffle and the chicken would've been good if they used salt when cooking it. Eggs were just eggs... the place wasn't full and I see why. This was the second time I've been to a flying biscuit. I will not be back, at least to this location. Maybe other locations will have more flavor to their food.

Nice breakfast and fun place. Mix up with one of our orders was only big issue and what came was not that great. Everything else was fun. Need a beer and wine license to make it 5 star..

The grits were delish!
Lynn R.

This is my second visit to Flying Bisquit Cafe. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It's simple and tasty. The eggs I ordered were over easy and cooked with enough yolk left to dip my biscuit. And the bacon was cooked well but not super crispy. The grits are the star attraction for me. They are creamy and smooth almost with a whip consistency. The staff is friendly and attentive and the place is clean and well lit.

Eric W.

If you're looking for some good Southern cooking/ Southern breakfast, look no further than Flying Biscuit Cafe where every meal gets a fresh made from scratch biscuit with apple butter spread! Loaded grits are a specialty here. They get very busy on weekends but the tables turn around quickly. Busy and bubbling vibe throughout. This specific location is right in Chapel Hill,NC much closer to residential neighborhoods than the university #chapelhill #breakfast #southern

Hangover Hash
Mackenzie E.

Get the Hangover Hash! Don't get the hot chocolate! The food was great, the drinks seemed a little pricey for the size. The restaurant was bright and colorful and our waitress was really nice.

I had been here a few times in the morning for coffee, but it sort of fell off my radar as a dinner option. I have been missing out. The food was super fresh, expertly prepared, and seriously delish. I am not a plant-based person, and I would not have even realized that our meal was 100% plant-based. Started with the feta and fig crostini (amazing) and roasted brussel sprouts (perfectly prepared - not greasy at all!). Dinner was the beer cheese and pickled jalapeño burger (with extra beer cheese for the fries) - absolutely fantastic. We were too full for dessert, but from what I understand, they have some pretty good stuff. I'll have to save room the next time I go. Parking was free and easy in the lot next door, lighting and music were soft and cozy, service was attentive (thank you, Lily!), and overall it was a great night. We even joined in the birthday celebration with the family of 8 next to us. This is a really great local spot owned by a local family - highly recommend.

My fiance and I were seated right away and the place was half empty on a Sunday at 11. But it took 15 minutes for a server to take our order. Our drinks were very good. My fiance got a blueberry scone latte and I got an iced London fog and they were delicious. Our for came out 40 minutes later and it was room temp. My grilled cheese sandwich was not grilled and had a laughable amount of pesto on it, my sandwich was swimming in pesto, I had to scrape it off. It was so overpowering you couldn't taste the egg or cheese on it. My fiance got the breakfast burrito and it was good. We shared a waffle that was not crispy at all, just doughy and bouncey. Our for was 65$, the lame Belgian waffle was 16$. That's absurd. I rarely, if ever, complain about price but I'm telling you, this place is just flat out overpriced. I caution anyone coming here if you're in a hurry or hungry. Drinks only and with just a couple friends.

The biscuits themselves were really tasty, fluffy, and flavorful. Unfortunately the biscuit toppings really fell short in taste and quality. The gravy was flavorless, the bacon was thin, but chewy, and the fried chicken breading was soggy. The order came out later than the expected time. For these reasons, unfortunately, I would not recommend the restaurant. Pros: Biscuits alone are worth a try. Cons: Small tight parking lot, long waits, even longer waits after ordering. Order was missing some items which I didn't realize until I got home.

Service is typically consistent, and the food is usually prepared well. We visited twice over Labor Day weekend. Our first visit was phenomenal-everything was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. When we returned on Labor Day, it was clear they were severely understaffed. The app showed "no wait" while we were en route and again as we pulled into the parking lot, but when we arrived, there was a line. No big deal. We checked in, though the process felt very unorganized, and moments later the app updated to a 20-30 minute wait. I joined the waitlist on the app just in case. The line moved normally until we noticed that a couple and a group who checked in after us were seated before us. When we asked the hostess, she said she had texted us -- but after verifying the number, we confirmed no text was sent. She seemed overwhelmed and was multitasking nonstop, so I genuinely think it was an honest mistake. Once seated, we were lucky to have Kafira again- she had served us a couple of days prior and was just as personable and attentive this time. The restaurant was barely filled, and you could tell the staff was stretched thin, but Kafira and the other servers handled it with patience and a great attitude. I truly appreciate that. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the service this time. My Eggs Benedict came out with medium-to-hard eggs. I let our server know, and she apologized (not her fault) and immediately brought out two more-also cooked medium/hard. That made the dish inedible for me. The pancake was great, and Kafira kindly comped one for the inconvenience. I will return to this location, but I hope management recognizes that being understaffed -while sometimes unavoidable - can lead to service inconsistencies and a decline in food quality.

Food: 4.5 Location: 5…read moreInside/seating :5 Service: 5 Overall value: 4 My spouse and I came here for lunch as we were in the area, and it was recommended. I had the BLTA sandwich with french fries and Dijonaise on the side and my spouse had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito with home fries. We also each got different sodas from the cooler area. The total for two lunch entrées and two canned sodas was about $40. I feel like this is pretty high relatively speaking for a sandwich and fries, and a breakfast burrito and home fries + two canned sodas, which is why I gave the overall value a four. However, the breakfast burrito, home fries, and regular fries were AMAZING. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a really long time, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. The sandwich I had was pretty good, but nothing super special, and definitely not worth $16. I didn't particularly care for the Dijonnais, but that's just personal preference and glad I had it on the side. The restaurant itself has ample parking and is easy to find. It has a lot of seating, as well as lounge type seating for the breakfast/café crew and people who might be coming to do a little bit of work. You order at the front and they give you a number and bring the food out to your table. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and kind. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall, I would probably give this somewhere between a four and a five, but I do really love to support Local and I could tell this place probably makes a banging coffee drink and had delicious looking desserts, so I went with a 5. Unfortunately, we live between 35 and 40 minutes away, so we likely won't return, but if we find ourselves in that area of Chapel Hill, I would consider stopping in for another breakfast burrito!

They were thrilled to learn my mother bookmarked this place when she worked at UNC Hospitals some years ago. The staff treated us well. They call out orders by name, so listen closely for your name. It was too hot to eat outside, though I imagine their bamboo patio out back will be delightful to sit at in the cooler months. The inside tables along the window have a view out to the street. There's a display case featuring fresh made desserts and other sweets worth checking out. I loved the fresh tomato, lettuce, and crispy bacon on this sandwich. I'd enjoy coming back, though I think I'll take my sandwich home next time. BLTs are the specialty here, and they do a great job making them.
