I went with my boyfriend around 2 weekends ago, these biscuits are amazing, they are fresh, warm, and flavorful! I would highly recommend; they also have a nice seating area which was perfect for a great sunny Saturday morning! :) read more

So darn good! Handsome Biscuit is Local classic! Everything I have had is absolutely delicious! Ac Slawter and Hella Fitzgerald are among my favorites but even there simple Shorties are divine! Definitely must check them out for a delicious breakfast that won't break the bank! read more

Nice hipsters doing breakfast in the hood. BUT NOT FOR ME. My palette must be too sophisticated for those thick Bisquick and water flavored biscuits. It's a NO from me. read more

The food had that amazing soul and messiness that biscuit and gravy should have! It was absolutely delicious and the vibe was sweet too. 100% would recommend read more

Must try when you're in the area. The sweet potato biscuits are AMAZING too. The Nashville sandwich is delicious. The chicken is well seasoned. read more

Handsome Biscuit - The Nashville: SOOOO GOOD - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Super delicious and always fresh. Definitely get a side of Lupo sauce, not because anything needs more flavor but because that sauce is killer. Make sure you're hungry when you come because the portions are huge. read more

Been coming here for years! Took someone in that has never been and I gotta say is not what it used to be. The Dill Nana is gone from the menu and that was the only reason I went in for to begin with. The menu was reduced and the whole dynamics or feel or the spot has changed as well. I ordered another sandwich and could only eat half because it was a royal mess and chicken did not feel fully cooked. The lady on the register was very nice and attentive even though our order got bumped and delayed. read more

My boyfriend and were in town (from DC) and wanted good food... that is, we didn't want a chain restaurant or food that made you feel like crap. We loved this place so much we came here twice. I don't eat meat or dairy, but I was still able to find some great options. My bf tried a view things (including the PB and J biscuit). Long story short, we loved this place so much that my bf tried to convince them to open a DC location :) **disclaimer for vegans: some of their food might be made with some amount of dairy products (I am assuming the biscuits are). I'm not a diehard vegan so that didn't bother me. read more

Obsessed with this place! It's in a great location, walking distance to the veil brewery and other bars in the area. The staff were friendly and the food was AMAZING! Service was quick and the staff was so friendly. I had the Hella Fitzgerald with a hash brown. Pro tip: ask for the homemade hot sauce! The restaurant is very small, but had a very nice outdoor seating area. Also the parking lots are a plus so you don't have to park on the street! read more

Forget calories when you go here because the food is well worth it. Be prepared to do takeout because there isn't much seating.

The Handsome Biscuit is so good. It's great for a weekend breakfast and if you have a hankering for a nice biscuit sandwich. The biscuits themselves are pretty good, nice and flaky. The sandwiches are filling. Some with sausage and gravy or an egg or bacon or all 3. The inside is pretty tiny, no room to sit and sometimes have to wait outside because the line is long, but a long line means good food. You just go in and order and then can enjoy your meal in the outside seating area. I'd recommend! read more

The food here IS INCREDIBLE and the service is even better. My sister and I ordered our food and mistakenly got the wrong sandwich. The general manager let us keep the wrong order and gave us another free sandwich. When I offered to pay she wouldn't let me. Good people, making good food, and putting something great back into the world. Can't recommend it enough. We will definitely be coming back and bring more people. read more

Best biscuits in town. Come with an appetite because you will want to finish the entire thing - and it is filling! Get the hella Fitzgerald and be prepared to lay down for a bit afterward. 10/10 read more

Simple menu results in consistent high quality. Went with the Ella, it was outstanding. Not going to lower the rating because of it but the coffee is really weak. Ample outdoor seating. read more

Honestly, I don't see how adding my 2 cents here is really going to do much since our Yelp Elites are already all over this place -- but I am having food porn sex dreams about the brunch I had at the Handsome Biscuit this weekend. Absolutely AMAZING. I ordered the breakfast biscuit - so your basic egg, cheese and bacon, plus I added on the hashbrown side. It is HARD to find decent hashbrowns around here, and these were SO good I wish I'd ordered a second side. And then when I started tearing into my sandwich, I commented multiple times, "this is seriously one of the most delicious things I've eaten in my entire life." What they've got going on here I am down for -- and this will NOT be the last visit for me. Holy cow. For real. Maybe it's not some folks' cup of tea, but I dig the laid back atmosphere with super tasty food. Absolute perfection. I can't believe it took me so long to get over the water and try this. read more

Amazing. Every time. Highly suggest the Hella Fitzgerald or the PB&J. Norfolk staple.

Always my togo brunch place in Norfolk. We went there on saturday with my friends and they were pretty busy, but still managed to have such a great customer service and food were really good as always. We haven't been there in a couple of years, they expanded the kitchen area and the seating outside is still available. Cute little place. Definitely recommended when you are in Norfolk, Virginia. read more

It was okay. We went on a rainy day so outside seating wasn't possible, but the wait wasn't long at all since the line was pretty short. I had the Dill Na Na and my fiance had the Hella Fitzgerald. Chicken was really good. Herb mayo and frittata was delicious. As much as people talk about the biscuits here, we just found them alright. Nothing too special. We wouldn't turn this place down but I don't think we would seek it out. With the small space it makes the experience a bit claustrophobic. read more

Handsome Biscuit - Dill Na Na is sooooo yummy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Concept was fine but not a fan. Did a to-go order ate in car. Wayyyy to much meat for a tiny biscuit they was to make biscuit bigger for certain sandwiches. And more sauce biscuit it was soft and thing but. But don't over do it. read more

My boyfriend's car randomly broken down in front of the restaurant and they gave us free breakfast due to the situation. Also, the manager came out to help get the car started and the entire staff was so sweet and generous. We could not be more grateful for their generosity!! The food is excellent (I got the hashbrown and the Shorty combo) and received the best "small town - mom/pop" customer service ever! If your car accidently breaks down in front of the restaurant, they have your back lol :) read more

Sweet potato biscuits are game-changing, but the star was actually the fried chicken. It was perfectly crispy and juicy on both the Hella Fitzgerald and the Stevie. I'm a dark meat lover and hate dry chicken, but it was so tender. The Hella Fitzgerald is great for gravy lovers, and the mustard on the Stevie added a nice tang. The only thing that I would have done differently would be to get the side of greens, because I did wish I had veggies with my meal. read more

After reading all the reviews and scrolling through all the photo, I had VERY high expectations for this place. The food and service was just pure magical. The biscuit was light, fluffy and flaky. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful. Hash browns cooked to perfection with a hint of onion flavor. To top it off, the gravy was liquid gold in your mouth. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who visits the city! I will definitely be back!!! read more

I knew this place was going to be stellar, as I've heard absolutely nothing but great reviews about it since its opened. We came here on a Saturday. At around 8am my tummy started grumbling and talk started to occur about where we would eat for breakfast. by 8:30 we decided to come here and I knew there was going to be a line out the door soon due to the fact that Ive seen this play out almost every weekend at around this time (well, a little later actually) so I told my boyfriend to "hurry it up" so we could make it there before we both started getting Hangry. We walked up at around 9 ish and there was a line, but not too bad. We were the first ones that had to stand outside. I started getting a little anxious because the line was taking forever to move, but then I saw that there was a system in place. The person behind the counter was meticulous in getting everyones order correct because he knew he had the time to do so-the place is very small with not much room to wait on food, which takes a little time to be made as things seem to be home made, so why rush on getting everyones order and making customers wait in a cluster? Once I saw how the pace was moving I started playing on my phone, checking out the menu, so that way we could be ready when we reached the counter. Since my boyfriend isn't much of a breakfast eater I wasn't sure when we would have the chance to come back, so I decided to order everything. Ha. We each got the biscuit of our choice. Mine was the A.C Slawter and he got the Chick Boom. Along with that we had seen the hashbrowns fly by us earlier on a plate so ordered a side of that, and I love pickled anything so we also got the pickled Vegetables. My boyfriend chimed in last minute about Lemon Bars, and while I'm not a fan of those I figured, "why not!?" and added those to our smorgasbord too. As the cashier was recovering from shock of how much we had just ordered I asked, "Do you guys serve Cold Brew?". It wasn't mentioned on their menu but since they served Three Ships coffee I had a feeling they might. And to my sweet sweet surprise he said Yes! So, I got that as well. 5 plates and 3 drinks later we gathered our feast and sat outside. Outside seating is great. Lots of covering to give you a little bit of shade. The seating is communal. Big long picnic tables. But if you like your alone time they have bar style standing on the outside railing. So this place can hold a decent amount of people. There are only about 3 tables inside and with all the traffic and people waiting for their food I honestly wouldn't recommend sitting inside. It gets a little, claustrophobic. #FoodTalk: There isn't much to say except, good lord that was good!!! The apple slaw, hot lupo sauce and pulled pork on my AC Slawter... I think as foodies we all know this is a match made in heaven. The serving is heaping and the sauce soaks through that biscuit as it should. Its simply perfect. The Chick Boom had some great flavors! Cool and refreshing, this is a great summer time biscuit. Our pickled veggies were spot on. And the Hasbrowns, shut the front door. Even the Lemon Bar had me ACTUALLY liking Lemon Bars! So moist! I know you all love that word. ;) Love this place! So glad it has stayed up to par with its reviews and food. Keep doing what your doing Handsome Biscuit! Its great! read more

Handsome Biscuit is good! I don't quite get all the hype, but it's a solid joint. The positives: - Love the housemade sodas. Fantastic - Biscuits are good - Hashbrowns are a must get, and definitely with their housemade Negatives: - I don't like the fried chicken very much. I've tried it a few times, and the chicken is gristly, tough, and greasy (even for fried chicken). - Lines during weekends, it gets claustrophobic in such a small shop. Try off hours during weekdays instead - Parking is super tight on said busy weekends read more

Everytime I come here yum! It was a must eat final stop on my virginia tour! Their Hella Fitzgerald is always amazing, add a runny egg on it for some sloppy sauce and you're golden! The Fitz always provides its consumer with a very large fried chicken, wonderful sweet potato biscuit and a full stomach. Their hasbrown side is also delish but the Fitz is so big my husband and I will usually share it. Finish off your order with an iced coffee or a refreshing lemon ginger soda and your eat is complete. Please note, this place is always crazy busy but they added some parking in the lot across the street! read more

Stupid active engaged Yelp community making it impossible to say anything original... I've been raking my brain trying to come up with something about this place that hasn't been said already, but it's no good. I'm just going to pile a few more compliments on the heap. This place is amazing. They have some of the best fried chicken I've ever had, and I've traveled all around the south with an appetite and an open mind. The people are friendly, the prices are super reasonable. I'd highly recommend 'the Nashville.' It's tossed in a great hot sause that's flavorful without being too hot. Anything that has their sausage gravy is worth selling a kidney to try delicious. Definitely learn when then best times are to show up because it's a smaller building and the line can be intense. But ninja sneaking in early before the crowds is such a rewarding way to start a day off. Handsome Buiscut, you're so beautiful! read more

I've ordered the classic chicken biscuit twice. It packs flavor--primarily because of the sauce which is kind of tangy (almost like a mayo ketchup combination, but not quite). The chicken breading is really crispy, which is nice because they give you a lot of sauce. I would recommend ordering the sauce on the side. This helps ensure your chicken breading doesn't start to get mushy. The portion size is huge, which makes the $7.75 you pay worth it. Definitely worth visiting at least once. read more

This is defintley a great spot to check out if you're in the Norfolk area. It's the perfect example of "down home cooking" as you can't tell that everything prepared was homemade down to the hasbrown!

Great delicious biscuit! Tried the Stevie with Chicken, Honey, Whole Grain Mustard and Pickles.

It would have been a 5 but the long line, lack of seating, and flies were difficult to handle... read more

Can't believe I've never written a review for Handsome Biscuit. It took coming back for vacation 2 years later, apparently. I am a creature of habit. So every time I have come here I get the same thing. The Hella Fitzgerald with an egg. The perfectly crispy, seasoned, deep fried chicken thigh paired with red eye gravy, house made bacon and that luscious oozy egg is total breakfast perfection. And all of this on a very sturdy yet fluffy sweet potato biscuit. I went with the greens today because I wanted to feel good about eating all the other things. Great take on collards. Simply made. Flat top, garlic, chili flakes, s&p and a little vinegar. I really appreciate that they have kept the same menu and the same recipes. I mean .. if it ain't broke .. am I right? This was a great idea for my last meal in HR since I'm flying out at noon. Thanks HB! read more

Great service and amazing food!! The Hella Fitzgerald was so good!! The tots were amazing! Just all in all a great experience.

Absolutely incredible! We stopped in for lunch after visiting the Norfolk Zoo, and we were all starving. This was the BEST place!! The food was not only incredible (we tried at least 4 of the specialty biscuits) but the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. As we were eating they announced that they would be closing soon and that all the left over biscuits would be thrown away. So they offered them to us for free! They gave us at least 10 biscuits I think, and sauces! It was amazing! The food was so good, the location was fun, and the staff was delightful. Definitely will come back next time we are in town. Sadly I didn't get any pictures because we inhaled our food so fast, that's how good it was! read more

There's really not much more I can add that everyone else has already raved about. For me, it was just a matter of time to finally make it down here! I've been patiently impatiently waiting to try 'em out. Alas, and albeit Being Ash Wednesday which translates to NO MEAT WEDNESDAY for us Catholics, opportunity reared its beautiful head and all my dreams of sweet potato biscuit bliss has come true! The stars even aligned in my favor and I got to sit outside, which is one of my favorite things to do. Because hellooooo... natural light is everything when you "do it for the 'gram (-Instagram)" and take pretty pictures of your food! And of course, to post & share here on Yelp Universe as well, duh..... Yo, Stevie (that's one of the biscuits, btw)!!!! I just called...to say... I LOVE YOU!!!! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I devoured that biscuit in probably 3 swift, über un-ladylike, ferocious bites. Before I knew it, I was walking my empty plate and dirty utensils to the bin while my friend was still ever-so-daintly knifing & forking her Hella (yummy) Fitz biscuit like the well-mannered & graceful lady that she is. I, on the other hand, was burping in the wind, licking my lips in hopes of finding leftover sauce somewhere along my lipline like a puppy dog, just super satisfied and happy. It was totally worth going against Lent practice consuming meat this day. I felt so bad but only for 2 minutes. Ha! God, why didn't I order one to go!? I was a fan before I become a fan and I think I'll stay a fan. And that's saying a lot coming after just one visit! Cheers to many more trips to HB and hopefully there will be the Marsalala biscuit that I missed out on! Handsome Biscuit, you are the shizz!!! P.S. It's tiny. Be kind and considerate with elbow room if you plan on sitting inside. Parking is very limited so you might have to get creative if you arrive by car. read more

My second or third time coming here and initially coming here the first time I felt like everyone hyped this place up after seeing aesthetically pleasing pics on IG. I mean the pics look amazing and I had to see for my myself what this place was about. The first time I may have set my expectations high bc I thought it was good but it wasn't out of this world. I say that bc when they first opened I found the biscuits to be dry and the chicken wasn't tender enough. Now fast forward... Handsome Buscuit is near ODU campus which is a plus. I came in the other day with my boyfriend who ordered the classic Hella Fitzgerald and I ordered the Bleu Blazer (pickled cabbages and blue cheese). It was bomb the pieces of chicken were ginormous and seasoned well. I was able to eat my leftovers the next day and it was still good. It gets messy to the point that you don't even care if your biscuit breaks. The biscuit was actually good, I wonder what they put to make it orange colored. The next time I order the blue blazer I'm going to ask for jam on the side cause I gotta have jam with my chicken biscuits you feel me. read more
