I showed up to Wise County Biscuits fully prepared for battle. Many reviews warned about parking nightmares and lines long enough to make you question your life choices. In fact, this was not my first time attempting to come here. I had arrived many other times and circled for a while and couldn't find parking or I would finally find parking and the line would be down outside the door. Clearly the universe was in a good mood this Sunday, because I rolled up and snagged a parking spot directly in front of the door. I felt chosen. Blessed. Like the biscuit gods had opened a portal just for me. Inside, there was no line! I manifested that on my drive in. As soon as I walked in, A super-friendly guy was cleaning tables and handed me a menu and told me to order at the counter. By the time I was done ordering a seat had become available. On to the food & beverages. I will be honest: I'm a certified coffee snob, so the iced coffee wasn't my soulmate. But the hibiscus tea? A floral little hug. Loved it. The corned beef hash with chimichurri was incredible. The biscuit that came with it? I crowned it with a glorious drizzle of sausage gravy, and suddenly I understood why people wait in long lines for this place. I would too. Happily. Then I tried the fried chicken biscuit with honey and butter plus a side of home potatoes, and let me tell you! That chicken biscuit could fix broken hearts. Those potatoes could end political conflicts. The whole meal was outrageously good. Believe. The. Hype. If there had been a wait, I now know it would have been worth every minute. Honestly, I might line up next time just for the full dramatic experience. read more

I first tried Wise County Biscuits back when they were a food truck, and now at their Northside cafe. We called in a Saturday morning order, which was a big time saver with the long line, and picked up the fried chicken biscuit. The biscuit was fluffy yet flaky, and the chicken was crispy and seasoned. We will definitely be back, ideally at a non-peak time! read more

We enjoyed stopping into wise county biscuits again. The early morning was slow and easy to get a table. The biscuits were fresh and delicious. The potatoes were our favorite. The iced coffee was definitely not a highlight. read more

I'm still dreaming about the honey cornbread cookie... it was SO SOFT and SO delicious, I could definitely eat many of those. So the wait was pretty long and the inside space is semi limited, but I will say the staff is very on top of making sure that once you have placed your order, there will be a table for you. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was really delicious! The perfect type of heavy meal I was craving that morning, although I do wish there was more gravy on it. Next time I would definitely try a breakfast sandwich and maybe get a side of gravy or jam! The cinnamon sugar bites were also great! I would definitely come back, but I'm not sure if I would ever wait in such a long line again for it. read more

What an amazing little spot in the North Side. It sits just off Western Avenue in a prime location. You order your food at the register and then find a seat. It was very crowded when we got there, but they do a good job of taking care of their customers. It is a very inviting space. We sat at the counter and the space naturally offers up opportunities to chat with the workers and other customers dining in the restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS! We cannot say enough about how good the biscuits were and the homemade jam was superb! We will definitely be back to try the sausage and gravy! read more

I kept seeing this place all over instagram and had to check it out. I will say, getting there as early as you can is the move -- a friend and I met here around 10 and we had about a 20 min wait and the people behind us had to wait longer. Orders are taken when tables become available -- everything on the menu looks amazing and it's hard to choose! My friend loved her biscuits and gravy and we shared the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites. I got the traditional breakfast with two eggs, chicken sausage, cheese grits and a biscuit with pumpkin butter. The iced coffee was great and was a decent size! I also got a cranberry sweet corn muffin to go -- the pastry case had so many good choices! The food is priced fairly, the portions are great and it's such good quality. There are also frozen biscuits to take home and bake, along with other jams, honeys and sauces to purchase. The staff works quickly and efficiently to make things flow. This is my new go-to to take out-of-town guests! read more

We went on a Monday morning and got a seat right away at the counter. Our waitress, Grey, was the kindest soul!! Biscuits were fluffy and buttery and all 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It was also my birthday and they gave me a little free treat to celebrate which was so kind. Cannot recommend this place more! read more

I love Wise County Biscuits storefront so I was excited to see their frozen biscuits in a local market close to home. I was even more excited when I realized it was their gluten free biscuits as I actually needed to make GF biscuits for my sister for Thanksgiving brunch - this saved me lol. She said they were the best she's ever had! They were easy to bake from frozen with the included instructions. Would definitely get them again! read more

Absolutely recommend! This was my first time here. Super cute and sunny spot. Seating inside and out. I got biscuits and gravy w sunny side egg. It was mind blowingly good. Everyone else loved their stuff. Before we left we got their honey butter corn cookie (outstanding) dark chocolate rice crispy treat (my partner said outstanding) and a piece of sweet potato pie. This will be a repeat. read more

I ordered takeout on the phone. It was ready upon arrival. The staff were great and friendly. It wasn't too bust but it was also just before noon on a Thursday. I ordered their greens, eggs and ham biscuit sandwich. Would have never thought of putting greens on it but loved the texture that it added. And the bit of spiciness. The biscuit was so buttery and flaky. read more

Had an amazing breakfast at a special spot. It felt kinda rural; they've got that spirit in the restaurant, along with a bougie touch of gourmet. The combo makes it a must-go experience. Worth the wait for a great food! read more

Wise County Biscuits is a treat! The space is open and welcoming. Order at the counter and bring your number to a table where food will be delivered and drinks refilled. Staff is very kind and accommodating. I truly love their gluten free biscuits and side options. The build your own biscuit, grits, and potatoes were fantastic. I enjoyed an ice coffee with a homemade syrup. We even snagged frozen biscuits to recreate the experience at home! read more

Fried chicken on a biscuit was delicious. The sides were good. We got the grits, potatoes, and the green salad. Pro tip- I ate bites of the salad with my biacuit/ chicken to give it more flavor. And to tell myself I was being somewhat healthy. Very tasty! Another tip: I would get honey with the biscuits. This place is always packed. We got lucky and got two seats at the counter as another couple were leaving. The staff were friendly and welcoming considering all the chaos of the customers. read more

How in the world did it take me so long to get to this place??? I built my own bacon, egg, and pimento cheese biscuit. It was terrific, and I really appreciated that the biscuit was fluffy and tender but not so short that it was crumbling and falling apart. Perfect. But let's take a moment to reflect on literally the best grits I have ever had. (And I lived in SC for two years.) I don't even want to know how much butter was in there, because I don't, I can't care. The cheese was sharp and tasty, there was enough salt in the grits themselves, and yeah, the butter. I'm not going to stop thinking about the grits for a while and I was way too full, and I made my husband eat some, but I'm going to order them again. (Wise County Biscuits and Grits? I'm here for it.) Husband had a biscuit and gravy, also tasty, but I'm going to claim first place; my breakfast wins. Do not skip that pastry case either. We got a sorghum ginger cookie (chunks of crystallized ginger and crackly sanding sugar) and a honey cornbread cookie (ribbons of sweet honey and a buttery sweet cornmeal base) to go. Two iced coffees rounded out an amazing brunch. I can't wait to go back to order the exact same thing! read more

Had such a delicious breakfast at this cozy spot this morning. Definitely get in early before the rush around 1015/1030. Lovely staff. We ordered hot and iced coffees, sausage & gravy biscuit with an over easy egg, and an oatmeal cream pie. Everything was incredible -- we even brought home 18 frozen biscuits to make with thanksgiving dinner next week! read more

Yet another great review for Wise County Biscuits for me. lol this time, my mom and I ordered takeout for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We phoned our order in and it was ready about 15 min later. I ordered the Diner Burger, and a side of those amazing potatoes! I also ordered the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites because they sounded good! Per usual, everything tasted great and you can tell a lot of heart goes into their food. You just can't go wrong at this place! read more

Located on the Northside of Pittsburgh, this is a super cute spot to meet up with a friend for brunch. I went after an event downtown. Patrons are instructed to order then find a seat; I sat at the bar which was comfortable seating. The server at the bar was really friendly and attentive. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and it was good; nice balance between savory and sweet. I am a saucy girl so in my opinion it needed more honey or syrup so I asked for some on the side. I would definitely recommend this spot if you are looking to try something new. read more

My husband saw Wise County Biscuits on a post from a Pittsburgh foodie and we made it over this week. I got the country ham biscuit and he got the fried chicken biscuit. The country ham biscuit was not my favorite--essentially it is bacon, mustard, and a biscuit, but the bacon is very salty. To be fair, the menu does call out that it's salty, but it was VERY salty. Haha! I like salty bacon fine, but to me it needed a little sweet to balance out the salt, rather than the mustard. The biscuit was perfect and amazing! Buttery and slightly crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. My husband really enjoyed the fried chicken biscuit--I also took a little bite and thought it was great! Service was pretty quick and the staff were all helpful and friendly. The interior is really cute, clean, and cozy! read more

Excellent service from the time you enter the door. The workers are kind, efficient and very attentive. The food itself is also very good. My son had a fluffernutter biscuit and I had the biscuits and gravy meal. Everything was cooked well and it tasted delicious. Portion sizes were nice also, it didn't feel like I needed to be wheeled out after eating. The coffee was also amazing, I drabk 3 cups of it just because I could! Overall, it's a very small place in an up-and-coming/trendy area of town. It's definitely worth a visit, especially if you like biscuits and good coffee! read more

A+ for creativity! I tried their special, which was a fried green tomato with pork belly sandwhich. Overall, it was nice to try it, but I'll come back and try something else off the menu. Classic, clean diner vibes. And great service. read more

Great little breakfast place that my son found. You order at the counter and then find a place to sit. There was a line to order food and the menus are up at the front counter. I would suggest walking up and grabbing one so that you can look over it while standing in line. We went with the Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit bites, the Fried Chicken Biscuit, and the Your Way Sandwich with cheese and bacon jam. There were no available tables so we ended up sitting at the counter. Everything was so delicious and the coffee and water refills kept coming. Would definitely come here again! read more

I'm going to highlight the dining room, because it's filled with sunlight, charm, and overall, it's a great space to eat breakfast. You order at the register and they give you a number to carry to your table. Besides a great menu, they run excellent specials. I like that I can order grits, which is somewhat rare up North. The coffee is from De Fer. They have choices for non-caffeinated teas. Best of all, the food is really good, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful. read more

I went back to Wise County Biscuit and I am glad I did! I saw the strawberry and cream biscuit on their instagram and was so glad they had some in stock. It was so good. I brought half home and my mom ate and said why didn't you buy 12 more of those. I also ordered the fried chicken sandwich while there, the breading on the chicken had amazing flavor! The biscuit was so good! And the crispy potatoes were seasoned and crispy just how I like them. I will definitely be going back! read more

Sweet restaurant where the biscuits are the main show. The wait on a Saturday morning was around :20. Everything is scratch made even the sweets in the case. Everyone was super nice and super organized. We all got a chicken biscuit. The chicken was a little "skinny" and could've used a bit more honey but my gosh, the biscuit was amazing! read more

Probably my favorite breakfast / brunch spot I've come across in Pittsburgh. We came on a Saturday afternoon to find the restaurant full. Fortunately, a couple seats opened up at the counter after we ordered. We shared the biscuit and sausage gravy. One of the best gravies I've had. A little less thick and viscose than most gravies, but super savory. Well seasoned with plenty chunks of sausage. Biscuit was soft and crumbly. We also shared a slice of their chocolate banana bread. It's a dense slice that is rich with chocolate and banana flavor. A bold and worthy slice. Service at the counter was super attentive and friendly. Our water glasses were consistently refilled. Food came out in a reasonable time. Atmosphere is casual. read more

5 star takeout experience. I would enjoy dining here too. Bright space with a good amount of tables. Not crazy busy at 9:30am on a Sat but filled up quickly. Service super friendly with everyone chipping in on service. Biscuits are not massive so you'll be happy with the portions for the price. Side potatoes were very very good. I had the create your own with braised greens and bacon jam. Took some of the ginger hot sauce they sell on site too and it was too good. Big win. Highly recommend a visit. read more

Have made a couple trips to Wise County since opening! They move you in and move you out, service is QUICK! Order at the counter, take a number and they service you once at table to push you along. It stays busy and when my group and I finished we were definitely given the nudge to move along and not sit and chat - my ONLY complaint. I prefer conversation over a meal and getting to spend time with who I am sharing my meal with. The food is phenomenal. I haven't tasted anything I didn't like from their menu and they have a small case of baked goods in addition to their breakfast menus. Reasonably priced for the quality of the meal served. My husband and I were in and out for $30 including adding sides and additions to our meal. Cute, southern yet retro vibes. If you're from the south (like myself) and on the hunt for good biscuits and gravy, this is your place! read more

This is such an adorable little place. I love all the different bundt pans they have hanging on the wall. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. They have a smaller menu, but I don't think a place like this needs a 3-4 page menu. I ordered the Your Way biscuit sandwich with American cheese & their house made sausage and a vanilla iced coffee. I almost ordered the potatoes because they looked really good, but I was afraid it would be too much food with my sandwich. And I was right. The sandwich was delicious! The biscuit was light and fluffy with a little bit of crisp. Sausage was super flavorful. Coffee definitely hit the spot. Definitely a really good spot for breakfast/brunch if you're visiting Pittsburgh. 10/10 recommend. read more

This place is really delicious. My partner and I have been a few times now for both breakfast and lunch and always enjoy the food. My coffee experience there could be better but love the food, lol. I've had their biscuit breakfast with both bacon and with sausage and the biscuit is great. I definitely liked the bacon more as I thought the sausage was a bit bland but still enjoyed it. They also had a pork belly sandwich with fried green tomatoes that is wonderful. Definitely recommend coming here. It does get super busy on the weekends - FYI :-) read more

I'm a sucker for a good biscuit which is why we stopped by Wise County Biscuits for a late breakfast last weekend - they certainly delivered! The biscuits were buttery and flakey, the fried chicken in the sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and the sweet items were delightful. It's also super reasonably priced! One thing to note is that there isn't a ton of seating so you're better off going in a small group of four at most. We were nervous when we got there because the line was pretty long and it was packed but it moved quickly and we were able to snag bar area seating not too long after we got there. We got a number to take to our seats and they delivered our food to us. There's a handful of seats at the bar, about 10 tables that can seat 2-4 people, and a small lounge type area with a couch or two. It was very bright and cozy on the inside. read more

I am so glad Wise County opened up a location on the North Side! They are located at a great spot off of Western Ave. with beautiful decor and an inviting atmosphere. A great place to hang out for breakfast and coffee! As you can imagine, their biscuits are to die for - light, buttery, and delicious! I created my own biscuit with their mushroom oat patty and it was the best biscuit sandwich I've ever had. You can also buy their biscuits frozen to eat at home! I'm excited to go back and try some of their other menu items. read more
