I met my son here for breakfast. We didn't have to wait very long for a table, but I have been here when it was quite crowded and the wait was longer. We had Jackie as our server. She was efficient, checked up on us, kept our drinks full and even showed how considerate she is. I was having a hard time hearing her and as I apologized and told her I'm deaf in my left ear, she started approaching the table from the other side. I truly appreciated that kind and thoughtful gesture. The food was delicious as always. read more

The Flying Biscuit Cafe - Shrimp and grits and Stuffed French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

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

The flying biscuit Café is never a letdown no matter what part of the country you go to. This experience at this location has always been great and immaculate. The service is always on point and it's a great brunch spot for the family and friends and coworkers. The waitress is always fast and sometimes this gym is not so hidden and everybody knows about it so try to get there early and or wait for a table more so in the morning. This location is a 10 out of 10. read more

The Flying Biscuit Cade is an awesome breakfast/brunch location. I come here often and usually order the Biscuit, Eggs and Gravy, it's a chicken sausage gravy over an egg on a biscuit and it's wonderful. Very flavorful gravy! I often got it with scrambled eggs until I had a waiter suggest eggs over medium. The slightly runny eggs mix with the gravy wonderfully, held up by the fluffy biscuit. It's an amazing meal. The meal comes with a side of cheese grits which are superb, I'm not a huge fan of grits unless they are creamy and have a taste beyond simple corn, and these cheese grits nail it. 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. Our food came in a timely manner, was as ordered, and was great! The chicken sausage gravy and biscuit were perfect. Bacon was fried crispy, just the way we like it. Their creamy dreamy grits were on point. 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

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

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

Always yummy ! Love this place. The staff was friendly and it is always clean. We will definitely be back

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

The best grits I've ever had!! Lovely young lady served us! Everything was clean and family friendly! Children eat free M-Thurs.

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

Food is amazing!!! The service is normally great. Wait times can be long depending on the day....but definitely worth the wait!!

Great Food. Great services. Great place to eat . The atmosphere is nice and relaxing .

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

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

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

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

Consistently great service and AHHHHmazing food! There's nothing in the menu that's not fantastical

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 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. Strongly recommend for small groups or large groups. read more

Great breakfast with my favorite morning cup of coffee. Friends always asking for coffee when they know I'm stopping for breakfast.

Best grits I ever had!! Colorful and vibrant breakfast place near the interstate and many hotels. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I have high expectations!

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

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
