This bright, light filled industrial feel breakfast/brunch spot is a branch of the original Atlanta location founded in 1993. You'll find breakfast cocktails, homemade biscuits, breakfast comfort food as well as flat screen T.V.s and friendly service rounding out your experience. Today I opted for the server recommended Freebird Benedict, $15, and I enjoyed their creative take on the classic Eggs Benedict. This creative breakfast entree features their biscuit- split with fried chicken, poached egg and topped with their chicken sausage gravy. Definitely a big breakfast and shareable! Loved the tender biscuit, the crunch of the fried chicken and the savory flavorful chicken sausage gravy! The side of seasoned Moon Dust potatoes were great, too. I look forward to returning and trying their French Toast, Pancakes or a plain, yummy biscuit! read more

We had first eaten from a location in Atlanta via DoorDash but had yet to try this location out in person. We ate here one fine Sunday morning. It was packed and there was a wait. After being seated, I noticed how colorful and whimsical the decor was. But because it was so crowded, I didn't get a lot of pictures. I ordered the garden veggie scramble with the moon dusted potatoes and a side of beyond sausage. My guy ordered the waffle breakfast. The food was just as delicious as we remembered it to be. The star is always those creamy grits. I'm not sure how they make them, but I wish they would tell me their secret. The biscuits are always light and fluffy, and with the apple butter that comes with it, it's a match made in heaven. Pro Tip: I've ordered food from here courtesy of DoorDash but it's always been a disaster. The order was always missing random items or I received the wrong order. I do not recommend ordering through a 3rd party; go in person if at all possible. read more

Never knew this place existed until a friend invited me for lunch. I have been to the Shops in the Colonnade a few times, but if you're not in the same "section", you would miss them and that's exactly what happened to me. I've always been on the "Edgars" side and I never "saw" them. Started in 1993 in Georgia, now they have 34 franchised locations throughout Georgia, North Carolina, Florida and Texas. I love the look of the FBC. The painted murals on their wall (featuring Birmingham) is stunning and eye-catching! Applause for the creator! I'm not sure if they have seating outside, but inside there's roomy seating with high ceilings and ceiling fans. Open for breakfast and late lunch, we were seated quickly and drink orders taken. With their extensive menu selection, they could easily open for dinner in my opinion. Don't let them fool you into thinking they're just a breakfast place. In addition to their awesome "breakfast" items, they also have plenty of lunch items like chicken tender concoctions and burger specials. You gotta go online or look at my pics of their menu to see just how many different delicious options to choose from. I finally decided on the Dirty Bird. The large home made waffle was cooked perfectly. On top of it were crispy buttermilk fried chicken tenders. On top of those were two over medium eggs and on top of them was a slather of their famous chicken sausage gravy. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I couldn't finish it and gladly took the rest home. The tenders were juicy. The little bit of yolk was just enough to compliment that delicious chicken sausage gravy! Outstanding! Service was also great with my water glass never being empty. I will be returning to try one of their other 30 plus items on their menu! read more

Outdoor seating, service is fast and the food is delicious! Everything is flying with the restaurant decor and makes it so fun. We had the make your own grits bowl and it was fantastic!! I had shrimp, white cheddar, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It was delicious and full of flavor, very pleasing to the palate. The chicken chorizo tacos were the perfect size and hearty. They too had great flavor and you top it off with some of the yummy potatoes. We will be back to this great spit! read more

Shae was our waitress and she was outstanding! She made us feel welcomed, and she was attentive. Shae is a huge asset to this location.

Their creamy dreamy grits were on point. read more

Great breakfast, it's exactly like the restaurant in Candler Park in Atlanta. Shrimp and grits were amazing. LOOOVE the apple butter.

Delicious food and fast excellent service! We had a 20 minute wait but we knew when we arrived and using the app we were able to know how much longer to expect. We pretty much stuck to our normal favorites but this time added a waffle that was good too. Everything was so good we took no leftovers home. read more

Swung by for a quick breakfast. Shelby had very good customer service. Plenty of seating and food was pretty good. I ordered the dirty bird. The gravy was very good and I couldn't tell if the tenders were freshly made or frozen. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Everything came together. read more

The Flying Biscuit is always a hit! Visited on a Saturday so I knew they would be busy, but lucked up since there were available seats at the bar. I was immediately greeted by the nice bartenders and decided to order the mini shrimp and grits, which came with a biscuit and I added a side of scrambled eggs. The dish was very delicious! The grits were super creamy and tasty. The spicy sauce with diced tomatoes really 'made' this dish and added an extra layer of flavor. The blackened shrimp was like a 'cherry on top.' The scrambled eggs were delicious as well. All in all, another great visit to the Flying Biscuit Cafe!! read more

Ending shift on a very happy Monday morning, I finally got to drop into try The Flying Biscuit Cafe. It was Exceptional! Around 0800 on Monday there was no wait to be seated or for service. Withing 5 minutes of ordering, the food arrived at the table and the waitress was attentive, topping the coffee off at least 3 times. The highlight of The Flying Biscuit Cafe is definitely in the number of unique menu items to choose from. They offer selections that aren't common at other breakfast establishments. In example, what i ordered was a standard biscuit and gray that was elevated with a fried egg and a piece of fried chicken on each half of the biscuit. It was absolutely delicious. Check out pictures of the menu to get a better idea. Looking forward to taking out of town friends to dine here! 09-15-2025 read more

I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was pretty disappointing. The "smoked salmon" was artificially colored pink cubes that tasted only like tuna, or generic "fish." Nary a smoked nor a salmon flavor therein. You can buy a higher quality packet of smoked salmon from Walmart for $5.83. I can't comment on the Hollandaise sauce, because I couldn't taste it over the tuna fish. The poached egg was a shade above raw; I don't mind eating raw eggs, but it didn't hold up in the dish because the center wasn't jelly/gummy. It exploded in wet yolk as soon as the fork touched it and soaked the English muffin halves into soggy oblivion. I substituted potato for the grits and they were clearly frozen potato cubes warmed up. I didn't know what to expect from here, but for a sit-down restaurant that usually has a wait time, the food was worse than McDonalds, where you can at least get a properly cooked egg. The hostess and waitress were polite, but I was approached by a busser attempting to take my plate of unfinished food while I was still eating! I definitely won't be back. read more

What a good brunch! We tried this place, as we are passing through and knew we are getting one. Hubs had a smoked salmon scrambler with a dill cream cheese, and a side of potatoes. He added a biscuit with cranberry apple butter and hollandaise on the side. One negative the hollandaise was not good. Had he ordered the Benedict I would have had a different rating. As it is an add on, we are writing it off. The hot dirty bird chicken and waffles hit. I did ask for the hot sauce to be ok the side so I could control how hot, and the egg, I was skeptical about chicken sausage gravy, so I sampled it before. Wow. It is the best chicken sausage gravy I have ever had. I almost ordered differently because of the past ones I have had before. The building decor is great. Our server, Jacquie was phenomenal. If we had a restraint nearby we would offer her more money to leave and join our establishment. Good meal. read more

Great spot for breakfast. Omelet was delicious. Loved their multi-grain bread! Glad I found this place!

I heard so many good things about this place. Today was a good day to give it a try. Previously, I made a visit on a weekend and was presented with over an hour wait. So I was really happy to walk in and be seated. The food was good and the service was great. Great place for family dining or a group meetup. I would go back as long as there's no wait. read more

This is our go to brunch with friends. The grits and biscuits are to die for. I normally get the shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles. However, friends and family have had multiple other items off the menu and have loved everything. The atmosphere is great and service has always been exceptional.

I am flying high after my breakfast at The Flying Biscuit!!! First of all, let's talk about these grits!!! Babyyyyyyyy, they come with white cheddar cheese. They are super creamy and flavorful. No salt needed. Let's get into the biscuit. Super fluffy and delicious. I wanted 14 more of them!!! The waffle was tasty but could have been a little more crispy. No one at our table had a complaint. The food is excellent! The vibe is chill and it is a little noisy but you can carry on a conversation at your table without yelling. I will be zooming in here again real soon!!! read more

It was delicious--the eggs were perfect! The toast? Perfect! The salmon scramble? Perfect! The breakfast shot? Perfect! I live 3 hours away and I'm plotting on how to get back to Homewood for more brunch! (The turkey bacon wasn't great--we'll stick to the chicken sausage!) read more

The server just a little dry, but other than that, it was a great experience. I had a grit bowl with shrimp, bacon, bell peppers onions and yellow cheddar cheese. It was a bit too heavy on the bell peppers but otherwise it was REALLY good and the grits were super creamy and honestly didn't need the cheese. The latte was SO good. I added vanilla flavor and chose oat milk. My uncle had a Piedmont omelette, with a side of dusted moon potatoes, and a Belgian waffle with orange juice - no complaints there. There was a little bit of a wait because it's Saturday, but it's a really cool 50's type vibe there, with fruit covered tables, exposed wood, sunflowers and cute quotes. You should give a shot and DEFINITELY order a biscuit. read more

This was our second time here. Our first time was very nice. We loved the atmosphere and the food, so coming back for our second trip was a must since we are coming from out of state heading to Florida. Our second time we were pressed for time before they closed a half an hour later. Anyway our server did a great job taking care of us. Unfortunately we were 2 minutes past closing time finishing up and pretty sure they were wanting to go home. Our food was prepared quickly and its presentation was excellent! I highly recommend this place based off of both experiences. read more

Wow! 1st off let's talk about the services!! Chelbi was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and had great recommendations. The food was delicious!! I personally ordered the breakfast tacos which were massive! I was only able to finish eating one. Strawberry cheesecake French toast was the perfect amount of sweetness. You can tell a good quality white cheddar cheese is used in their grits. Their Apple butter tased fresh and wasn't too sweet. Georgia peach waffle was good. Didn't even need syrup. fluffy biscuits were topped with a little bit of sugar. read more

This place is so great! I love the vibe of the place it is so fun, and the people who were working when we were there were all nice. I got the Freebird, and the chicken was seasoned great and I really loved the gravy. The biscuit was also super fluffy. The eggs were over medium and the only problem I had was that one of the yolks was pretty much cooked all the way through. Other than that, a fantastic meal! My fiance got the Hangover Hash and the potatoes that came with it were so flavorful and good. Also, loved the chorizo. Finally, the grits are amazing!! I would definitely recommend! read more

Arrived noon-ish on a Thursday, no wait. Also Jo one at hostess stand, but we were quickly seated. Menu options are many, with lots of vegan/vegetarian/gluten free. There is outdoor seating. The interior is spacious, tables not crowded together like some restaurants. Lots of Inviting color, includes a sunflower mural over the server station. We were quickly seated and our server arrived almost instantaneously with a smile and warm personality. I chose double cheeseburger, spouse chose BLT, it Was deemed "decent"; he did clean his plate lol. My cheeseburger was delicious, cooked perfectly medium as requested. I do recommend you order the potatoes instead of the kettle chips. Nothing wrong with the chips, just Not my preference. Restrooms are standard male and female, no family or neutral signage. But clean and pleasant. Overall recommend this restaurant. read more

Anyone who knows me knows I have always hated turkey and grits. I have, however, slowly started coming around and becoming more accepting of grits thanks to The Flying Biscuit. They are the only place I can eat them without a second thought. So much so that I ordered an "Oh My Grits Bowl" this morning after a workout. Let me clarify that they must have white cheddar in them or goat cheese (I didn't know goat cheese would work here). Today's bowl had bacon, chicken chorizo, white cheddar, moon dusted potatoes and I added sauteed peppers, grilled onions, garlic and fresh tomatoes to the remainder when I got home. My meal also came with a biscuit and cranberry apple butter. Everything hit the spot but I still hate turkey in all forms though. read more
