In town visiting family and wanted to try a local spot, and Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits did not disappoint. My wife had the grits with bacon and a biscuit, and everything was delicious. I had one of their popular breakfast plates with chicken, eggs, gravy, and a biscuit, and it was excellent. The chicken was flavorful, the biscuit was on point, and the whole meal felt like true Southern comfort food. Service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. It had that genuine Southern charm you hope to find when visiting a South Georgia city. Definitely a great local stop, and we'd come back again. read more

This happened on July 27, 2026 I was visiting family and one day I ventured out on my own looking for a place to eat. I saw this restaurant and thought it was really a cute spot. I went in... I was welcomed beautifully and even chatted with the ladies about the neat Plucked Up t-shirts. I thought it was going to be a nice visit. I ordered Chicken and Grits along with a sweet tea. It looked delicious. The chicken and grits came with a wonderful country biscuit. I was shocked with the first spoonful. This was THE SALTIEST thing I have ever tasted in my life. It was as if the chef poured the ENTIRE box of Morton's Salt into my meal. When the server asked, very nonchalantly, how my meal was she was way different than when I first walked in. I VERY KINDLY let her know that everything was wonderful except for my entree. Her response was, "oh really?" She turned and walked away and that was it. The positive notes: The young man who has been doing dishes there for years is so wonderful and kind along with his easy going, very friendly and loving grandparents. The decor is ADORABLE! I won't be returning. Be careful. I should have read the reviews. read more

Breakfast lovers, I'm calling on you! This amazing local spot has great service and incredible food. Don't skip the biscuits! We tried a bowl, the Chelsea sandwich with pimento cheese and bacon, and the coop. All were great portions and had that true southern hearty flavor. Highly recommend. read more

Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Me and wife stopped in here for a late lunch. We were able to get a table but as we were walking up quite a few people were leaving so I believe it gets pretty crowded and it's not very large. The waitress was extremely friendly as were all the staff there. I got the 4 piece chicken strips with biscuit and tots as a side. The wife got the crispy chicken salad. My strips were very good. Not huge but decent size and cooked and seasoned well. The tots were also good and very crispy. Now the biscuit was phenomenal. The wife said her salad was also great. Lettuce and ingredients were crisp and fresh and the chicken was delicious. Would definitely go back. read more

First, the restaurant itself is an eclectic burst of pure joy, who could not like those giant chickens? Second, it has a trap door! For whatever reason, I absolutely love a secret door!

Those biscuits, yummy! read more

The waitress was nice and kept calling us "baby" and "baby girl". Must be a thing in the South. The food was decent. But the fried chicken was a bit heavy and the decor a bit too kitschy for me personally. read more

The staff was very kind and patient (her name was Kayla)! I got the chicken tenders platter with a biscuit and tots, the chicken was super crispy, seasoned and cooked perfectly.

Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits - The Jetson - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits is a downtown Columbus, GA breakfast/lunch eatery, of course, specializing in chicken and biscuits. Serving breakfast and lunch for over a decade, Plucked Up is a sister restaurant of Mark's City Grill and Hunter's Pub & Steakhouse, all concepts of restauranteer Mark Jones. My husband is from Columbus, GA, so we have a tradition of visiting for Thanksgiving. We stayed a little longer than normal to attend a family mini-reunion held at the nearby Hampton Inn Columbus Downtown. We were starving and needed a quick bite to eat, and Plucked Up was the closest non-fast food restaurant open. Plucked Up is an intimate eatery with exposed brick walls showcasing brightly colored, eclectic meets country decor. The wait staff was super friendly and welcoming despite a packed eatery. Our to-go order came out so quickly, I didn't finish taking my usual quantity of pictures. We both ordered Plucked Up Biscuits (my husband added an egg to his). I am actually shaking my head as to why we hadn't been to Plucked Up during prior visits to Columbus. The biscuits were buttery and fluffy, the chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the pineapple marmalade had the right level of sweetness. I was eyeing the biscuit beignets being served as we walked out, and something tells me that the chelsea (fried chicken, pimento cheese, bacon, and jalapeño jelly) will be life-affirming. read more

The food was amazing. I had chicken and grits and my partner had french toast biscuits. They are both highly recommended.

It was busy and lively for Thursday morning, I bet it is packed during the weekend rush hours. The interior was funky and fun, with lots of interesting things on display. It was a nice size with a good number of tables and chairs, and also had a small bar counter with handful of seats. Their menu was separated into three sections, easy to see and understand exactly what you are gong to get. Since this is a place that focuses on Chicken and Biscuit, we made sure to get something with Chicken and Biscuit. We went with 2 Egg Breakfast and The Chicken Coop, with a cup of coffee which came with free refills. 2 Egg Breakfast can have choice of meat with additional charge. We added fried chicken. The fried chicken pieces did not look like much, but they were great! It was finger-licking good! Grits had solid flavor and comforting. The biscuit was so fluffy and airy, buttery and delicious! We were very happy with this order. The Chicken Coop was much bigger in portion than expected, and what a display! We added fried chicken to this order as well. It was very good, a comfort food at its best! It had everything you want in every bite. It sure was the champion of breakfast. We had a really nice breakfast here. It seems like it was very popular among the locals, and I can understand the reason why. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The food is affordable and comforting. We enjoyed every bite! read more

The food and service were great. I was stuffed when I left at a very affordable price. Cool decor for the dining experience.

Fluffy, filling and fresh, and was a pretty damn good biscuit! The small custom designed inside vibe was cool too and the menu items named after the owners family members was a nice touch! However, it took a whileeeeeee to get my order taken, get my food and get the check , I don't know if they were understaffed or what! read more

Amazing food and service! The chicken and biscuits were incredible, as were the beignets. Highly recommended!

We "Plucked Up" and found the cutest little chicken & biscuit breakfast spot located in downtown Columbus, where breakfast is served all day until 3pm. I ordered the Biscuit Benedict with my poached egg a little more in the firm side, oh the hallandaise sauce was on point. Our server LAYNIE was friendly as they come, very knowledgeable of the menu she represents impeccable service very well. There's plenty of parking outside, so no worries there. When I'm in town again I'm making a bee line right here for another biscuit creation. read more

Cute and cozy restaurant, with a friendly atmosphere.Service was quick and our server was very friendly and pleasant, the food was so delicious, I had the chicken coop, it was the perfect combo, 2 biscuits and gravy covered with eggs, cheese and chopped fried chicken. Best biscuits and gravy hands down, super creamy not overly seasoned or salty, biscuits were fluffy and perfect, chicken was super tasty, seasoned well and crispy. Definitely will be back to try some of the other items on the menu, if back in the area, lots of yummy sounding items to choose from. Restaurant is on the smaller size, for a group of would fit comfortably at their available tables but maybe not the best place for larger groups due to seating availability unfortunately. read more

...Plucked Up Chicken and Biscuits was exactly what these Las Vegas ladies had in mind during our visit to Georgia. The only thing missing was peach pie! The pork steak (fried) and eggs with grits and biscuit was satisfying and filling. The chicken coop with eggs , biscuits and sausage gravy was juicy and delicious. Their coffee was flavorful and their sweet tea was satisfying too. The staff was fantastic and the atmosphere warm, hospitable and great decor. And after a filling meal we had a pleasant walk in the area. read more

Ok, I'll start with, it was amazing. I'll second that with the service was great, too. I will finish with a (half tounge in cheek) rant. I have lived in the deep south for 47 of my 50 years. Never once has anyone run into any kitchen I'm aware of and whipped up some cathead biscuits, fried chicken, sausage, milk gravy, over easy eggs and thrown some cheddar cheese on it all. While it was absolutely delicious, and I will be back, I think this must be what a native "Chinese food" eater must think in most US Chinese restaurants. Don't get me wrong, it was great. But to you folks with the review from Vegas, we don't eat like that. Nor have we for at least the last 50 years. I dunno, maybe some folks do. It would explain why so many of the trucks need those oversized suspensions, cause man. It's good. And I think I put on 5 lbs in one meal . read more

Food: Yummy. Biscuits remind me of my mama's. Had a wrap (cannot remember the name, but it had fried chicken, pimento cheese, hot honey) and it was great. The cheddar grits were lukewarm, hence the -1 star. Ordered a biscuit on the side (because you should always order the staple at a restaurant, especially if it is in their name!). So good!! Our server, Tanya, was quick, friendly,, and thoughtful- she even added a cup of sprite on our table so my son could continue filling his drink during the busy lunch hour. She could tell that we were in a hurry (he was on his lunch break) and brought our check and need to go box quickly when we asked for it. This is a really cute restaurant The ambience mirrors many of the ones downtown. This would make a great place to hold an event- which they do offer read more

In town for a military graduation and my DIL was hoping for some good chicken. With a place named Plucked up Chicken how could we resist. The decor is fantastic and fun, we loved looking around, the exposed brick walls is beautiful. We seated ourselves per the servers request and she quickly came over to take our drink order and give menus. I ordered a sweet tea, it was delicious and has that small pill sized ice which is my favorite kind of ice, so Bonus for a great, refreshing drink. For food I ordered the biscuit benedict. The ham was extremely thick and plentiful, so much so that the egg dwarfed in comparison and I really love poached eggs. The biscuits were soft, moist and delicious. The hollandaise was nice and light tasting. My DIL ordered chicken tenders, french toast biscuit and cole slaw. She was happy with the chicken, but was quiet on the slaw. So I dont actually know her opinion of that. For a sweet treat I ordered the beignets. They were good, but I think I just had too many biscuits as I only ate two of them. Overall, A+ on food and ambiance. You cant go wrong here! Definitely give it a try. read more

Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits - Its just so fun looking! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Went there to try out their biscuits and gravy because I am a fan and a friend recommended it. The hey indoor and outdoor seating, as well as bartop seating. I sat at the bar. I want to preface this by saying I will come back to try a straight up chicken biscuit or the chicken and grits. A guy next to me had a 3 piece chicken platter, and the chicken looks phenomenal! I ordered my biscuits and gravy topped with an over-easy fried egg and a side of white cheddar grits. The grits were pretty tasty. The biscuits and gravy were alright. The real star of that particular dish was the biscuit. I'm sure they make their biscuits in house, and this was pretty amazing. The gravy is described as a sausage gravy. While the gravy definitely had a sausage flavor to it, probably from sausage grease, there wasn't an abundance of actual sausage in the gravy. Still, good flavor so I wasn't disappointed. And the fried egg on top helped. I have been spoiled by working at a breakfast spot where the breakfast chef's sausage gravy was a religious experience. So, I'm kinda picky. The servers were super friendly, and the overall vibe of the place is kinda upscale diner. Would definitely recommend. Excellent menu! read more

Wow, this place is delicious and service was friendly and prompt. We came here on a Saturday AM and sat outside as it wasn't too hot. If you're in the south, you must get chicken, biscuits and grits. It's heart attack on a plate but oh so tasty. It's OK to indulge yourself once in a while. The grits were just OK. I asked for cheese grits and it definitely wasn't. The two chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned and friend. Not overly greasy. The biscuit was soft and buttery. The eggs are eggs that were scrambled-just standard and nothing to screw up there. I also tried the beignets with the delicious sweet dipping sauce. Yum! Not too sweet and not greasy either. 4-4.5 stars! read more
