This is a food trailer permanently parked at "The Grid," which is a mostly gravel lot in the Big Cove area that features a pavilion for farmer's markets, two food trailers, and a few other sights. The Biscuit Express also exists as at least one (maybe two?) drive through restaurants, which predated this trailer. The one I'm thinking of is more out Moore's Mill way. There are picnic tables and a small shaded boxcar if you want to stay and eat, but I got my order to go.
I visited a few weekends ago to get a brunch treat for me and my husband after I had an early work shift. I've always wanted to try the Moore's Mill location but am not usually in that area until it's too late in the afternoon and the business has closed.
The menu has breakfast and lunch options. Biscuits and biscuit sandwiches are obviously the stars here, but they do have things like hamburgers and patty melts. They also offer trendy dirty sodas. Prices are quite reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of food.
I got us both bacon egg and cheese biscuits and a large tater tots to share. As a newly converted dirty soda fan, I also got myself the "Hey Girl Hey," which is Coke (or Diet Coke) with coconut, pineapple, and cream. Despite being fairly busy, my food came out fresh, hot, and quickly. The gentleman manning the cash register was pleasant and clearly in a good mood. It was a nice experience overall.
The biscuit sandwiches were the star of the show, as I imagine they should be. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery, maybe a little on the crumbly side but overall a really good biscuit. The eggs and bacon were both cooked well, and the bacon was AMPLE -- definitely a hearty breakfast sandwich. The cheese was also melted nicely.
I liked the tater tots better than hubs. There was a seasoning on them that lent a very slightly sweet flavor on top of the standard saltiness. I didn't mind it but he wasn't crazy about it. They were crispy, plentiful, and went well with ketchup.
The dirty soda was a bit of a disappointment. It was overloaded with cream and didn't have much pineapple flavor, which was a shame as that's kind of unique for Coke-based dirty sodas. Additionally, the Coke itself just tasted a little off, as though the syrup to carbonated water ratio wasn't quite right. I wouldn't order it again; I might try a different concoction in the future though.
Overall, dirty soda aside, I was pretty happy with my experience here! It's nice to have a locally owned breakfast spot that's open early and serves hot food fast and with a smile. I imagine I'll be back! read more
