They also had outlets *everywhere*, making this a perfect spot to work on your laptop.

You get pretty much exactly what you'd expect: your typical breakfast platters, diner-style coffee, and delicious pancake stacks ;) It's not necessarily a daily go-to for me, but for visiting NC with a larger group, it's a solid option with something for everyone. One thing to know: it gets very busy. Get there early or come ready to wait ;)

He double-checked that the order was correct and made sure I had extra utensils, condiments, and everything we needed. That level of service really stands out. It meant a lot to me because this was something special I was doing for my team, and Sean helped make sure it went smoothly. Thank you again! Although I didn't get pictures of the food this time, everything was amazing. I will definitely be back and will take pictures next time. Please check them out, won't be disappointed.

First and foremost, I want to preface by saying I believe in second chances and redemption, not…read moretrickery and bribes. Typically, when someone from a restaurant reaches out to me about my review, especially when they are not 5 star, I instantly become skeptical. However, this owner made me feel comfortable to share my thoughts and explain how my visit went before anything else. Over the years, I have received tons of owners offering me a free meal in exchange for my integrity but I could tell this owner was extremely genuine and wanted to make sure my voice was heard. The initial post will remain the same but I wanted to amend some of the initial remarks including the service. The first time I tried this place, I received service that was not in alignment to the core values and standards this restaurant upholds, which, I am human and I have worked in food service for years so trust me, I get it. Since being back twice since my initial visit, I have been treated like family. The service has been up to par and the staff has been incredibly friendly. As far as the ambiance, it gives the feel of an old diner which makes it charming and lovable. Perhaps, some restorations and furnishings can be done nothing that isn't manageable. Lastly, I wanted to make sure to do a thorough review of the menu so when I went back twice after my initial review, I tried a menu item for each the breakfast menu and the dinner menu. The food was great! It was favorable, warm and packed with fresh ingredients. I tried the ribs and Mac and cheese as well as a breakfast plate on two separate occasions without letting the restaurant know I was coming back for a remake. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about was the Mac and Cheese, other than that it was good. It goes to saying that their standards are commendable as they do care about their service, food and experience of the customers.

Our server was super fast and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap that came with truffle fries. I've never had truffle fries anywhere else that actually stayed hot the entire meal. So good! The chicken Caesar salad wrap was interesting too because the chicken it in stayed warm as well which make it really good surprisingly! My mom had the chicken sausage and side of French toast and she loved them both it's her go to order there. My sister had the biscuits and gravy and she said they were delish too which was a switch up from her usual grits bowl order. Always a good time at flying biscuit, we'll be back soon!

Refreshing, bright, and the perfect start to breakfast. Chorizo Hash A solid choice. I was expecting a bit more spice and depth of flavor, but it was still a tasty and hearty meal. Single "Fluffy" Pancake Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. Nothing fluffy about it and it was thin and overcooked. Definitely room for improvement here. Apple Butter & Biscuits The apple butter paired with their biscuits? Chef's kiss. Absolutely delicious. Overall: I'd still recommend Flying Biscuit if you're looking for a warm, hearty breakfast spot. There are definite hits on the menu, and with a few tweaks, the experience could be even better. I'd go back!

They have an extensive selection of crepes and coffees that really hit the spot. Their location has easy parking and is nearby many attractions in the Matthew's area.

It's a cute restaurant with a patio and live music was playing the night I visited. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and attentive. I ordered a plain burger and brussel sprouts. The burger was great this time around. The brussel sprouts were ok, more on the vinegar based side than I'm used too. Our waitress returned them and we got different sides. The broccolini was amazing. The fries were ok since some were not completely cooked. The burger in the photo doesn't look like much but it was 9 out 10 in my book.

Was a little concerned because the bartender was not very attentive. After about 10 minutes she grabbed her purse and left. The other bartender stepped up and asked what we wanted. Everything changed! Laney was great, first with cocktails and then quickly getting us our food. Ordered the artichokes and was a little disappointed. The best I can say was they were okay. Little dry and could have used a sauce. Split a sandwich and was great. Overall nice environment, good food and service good (finally)

Biscuits and gravy are a southern staple and rarely have I had any that were really good, except here at Vicious Biscuit. Biscuits are their business. The most important elements are the biscuits and the gravy. Additions are many and varied, but if the basic two items are not both excellent, you will have a disappointing experience. The Vicious biscuit is the size of a hamburger bun. It is soft and there are bits of spice in the dough. These biscuits do not fall apart, but stay together and serve to soak up the wonderful sausage gravy that is poured on top of it. You can order just a biscuit with gravy for $8. And if you are timid, start here. Otherwise, there are add-ons like very good fried chicken, shrimp and grits, ham, pulled smoked pork, crab, bacon, fried shrimp. fried eggs and other combos. Super choices, so take time to study the menu which is extensive. Portions are great, very generous. I had their Vicious ($12). It was their Cheddar jalapeño biscuit, crispy fried chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy, with maple syrup drizzle. I was hesitant as to the maple syrup, but it is just enough to give accent to the gravy, but not super sweet. Wife had Fried Green 'Maters ($9.50) which were four fried green tomatoes, their signature pimento cheese with a pickled okra garnish. She could not eat it all, so I helped finish off the lone tomato and a bit of the cheese. Very good. Vicious Biscuit is more that a meal, it is an experience, even a journey, through this traditional southern staple, biscuits and gravy. Enjoy the trip. We might see you there.

The Loyalist Market is a gem of a restaurant tucked away in a Matthews shopping center. As a…read morebusiness their specialty is made to order charcuterie boards and they boast a large selection of locally sourced cheeses and meats. Inside however they also have a market featuring lots of local products, and a sit down cafe serving up salads and toasted sandwiches. I came in here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we elected to sit outside in their walled in patio area. It was a pleasant place to sit and our service was prompt and friendly. For my sandwich I chose the turkey chipotle bacon without the tomatoes. The sandwich tasted great and the bread was toasted nicely. If I have one complaint it's that for $14.00 I think the sandwich could have been a bit bigger, or maybe I was just too hungry because I scarfed it down in an instant! Still the chips that accompanied it were a good snack and I enjoyed my meal. This is definitely a good spot to grab a lunch, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the opportunity to browse their market. Matthews has a lot of great locally owned spots and this is for sure one of them.

Our waitress, Zoe, was phenomenal. They may have been out of the wine we ordered but she was very suggestive of another alternative that turned out to be even better. She came back, took our orders and not to our surprise, it all came out perfect because she was very in tune when taking our orders. Several people checked on us throughout our dining experience. However, Alex, he stood out. He made sure to clean extra plates and glasses out of our way and made sure we were having a great time there. Overall, this restaurant has always been a go to, but tonight, it'll be a weekly must. Love their specials and wine selection! Just wish they were open one hour later during the week!
