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.

Excelente servicio y delicioso comida se los recomiendo al igual que sus cafés muy ricos

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Shoutout to 809-Gabriel who helped us in 7/11/26 was excellent, very friendly and easy to talk with like Gabriel. We'll both be back again. Good food and fair prices.

Definitely recommend and would go back when in town.

As it is, I'd still give them a 4.75 stars for such a lovely experience. I would still say you NEED to eat here if you are here on Sunday! Just be warned to wear not slip shoes! They actually take reservations for Sunday brunch, so that's already a plus. When we were running a bit late, Indie was truly a joy to talk with, and she made the change without a hiccup! Once we got there, she was even more welcoming and got us seated in no time. Before I explain my concern, let me make it clear that we will certainly be back when we visit Athens! The location is so close to the UGA campus it's a no-brainer. There was plenty of street parking around, including handicap, so it's easy to get to. While the front entrance is almost hilariously plain and non-descript, the interior is really beautiful!! I felt like we walked into a The Great Gatsby. My daughter was tickled by the ever-changing ticker sign over the bar. Everyone loved the stained glass and deep colors. Even the bathrooms were like being at Grand Central Station in the 20's. And the food!!! We tried all the classic Southern Soul Food staples, and they did NOT disappoint! From the fried green tomatoes, to the shrimp & grits, to an enormous French Toast, they put their foot in it!! Bravo! I have to note that the fried chicken is truly crave-able--crispy, juicy, & flavorful!! The fried green tomatoes were cornbread crispy and delicious! Fair warning that they do have a bit of a bite to them, so check with your littles. We appreciated that they offered egg whites in any dish with eggs, but I wish there was a non-pork substitute for some dishes. There's a vegan selection, but it's just not the same, so we didn't try it. Maybe next time! I lived my goat cheese omelette, and the portion was big enough I got to take some home with me. Just wonderful food all around. The beignets were divine! And it ended up being my daughter's birthday dessert/app. And then we just kept ordering more. Cannot say enough great things about our server--and my mind goes blank because I wish I could remember her name!! She was great the entire time for our whole 9-top group. She kept the waters filled, she cleared plates along the way, she was welcoming and engaging, and we just all enjoyed being here because of it. While we waited for some of our party to arrive, we were directed to a beautiful lobby adjacent to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the floor was exceptionally slippery--like an oily kind of slippery that is not conducive to an 88-year-old using a walker kind of slippery. I was a little worried for my F & MIL. The elevator is so far from where we needed to be that it wasn't worth the risk, so we chose to go up the 2 steps at the front entrance. Luckily for us, everyone was able to move around with care this time.

Geez, I am not paying your employee I am showing my gratitude. Stop demanding what the gratitude value should be. Plus the server was just not making the experience nice. I could have done what she did. And If I could do it, she did not deserve the 18% tip I gave. That was my farewell statement. La Gabrielle from now on.

"Little pitchers have big ears," the old-timers used to say, bewildering the whippersnappers…read more Wait, we're talking "little pitchers" as in Ron Guidry, Tom Gordon, Tim Lincecum, Marcus Stroman, and so on? Nah, these "little pitchers" are paloma-like Jalicesense cocktails served in little clay cups called "cantaritos." Regrettably, I've never tried one. Anyway, in a town that (IMO) has been going downhill for a while when it comes to dining, the modest pan-Latin Cantaritos Cafe is one of the better restaurants to open in Athens post-COVID. In my experience, they've done a great job with everything: breakfast burrito, a Venezuelan (I think?) breakfast sandwich of some sort, massive heavy (a little too heavy, maybe) arepas, all terrific. The menu is huge. Prices have been reasonable, but it's been a few months since I was there. P.S. The review preceding mine by two chronologically is a disgrace: "I love this place," but one star because a single employee on a single occasion didn't adequately kiss her pinkie ring?

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?" Thats how you keep happy customers. Instead, you turned me away losing that sale, gaining this review, AND I will reconsider next time I decide I may want to eat your food, and just go somewhere else, also this review could affect others coming there, so affecting future sales. If the lights weren't all on, open sign wasn't on, I wouldn't have come in to have this experience. Business', YOU MUST DO BETTER!!! News flash! There are tons of you for us to choose from.
