Southern comfort food with legendary buttermilk biscuits


























"What began as a pop-up Sunday Supper series in 2016 has grown into Bomb Biscuit, one of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants under owner and 2024 F&W Best New Chef Erika Council, and I loved their scratch-made biscuits and sandwiches served at breakfast and lunch. I tried the Big Boy—sausage, egg, the People’s Cheese (aka American cheese), bacon, Dynamite Sauce, and bread and butter pickles—and appreciated that Bomb Biscuit also offers vegan and gluten-free options so everyone can enjoy their famous biscuits." - Tori Allen

"I appreciate Bomb Biscuit Co.'s transition from pop-up to a larger brick-and-mortar near Grant Park while retaining that freshly baked vibe; the menu highlights simple, successful breakfast and brunch plates—biscuits (traditional to jalapeño-cheddar) are a must, baked goods like cinnamon rolls with tangy cream cheese glaze are exceptional, and hearty biscuit sandwiches or hot honey chicken with pickles make for satisfying meals." - The MICHELIN Guide

"In Atlanta, Bomb Biscuit Co. is noted as a Southern restaurant included on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide

"I found Erika Council’s buttermilk biscuit to nail the archetype — crunchy exterior, pillowy center, and rich buttery flavor — and a must-order whether glori-fried around a fried chicken thigh with honey-butter and bread-and-butter pickles or dressed in lemon pepper as a tribute to Atlanta’s signature seasoning; try it fully loaded with scrambled eggs and cheese." - ByPervaiz Shallwani
"Brunching is one of Atlanta’s biggest social activities, which can magnify feelings of loneliness when you’re dining solo. But that’s not the case at Bomb Biscuit, an excellent breakfast cafe in Grant Park, where the sunny yellow interior, friendly service, and warm, soft biscuits are enough to make anyone feel welcome. Get there early if you want to snag a seat without a wait. Otherwise, you can trade stories with the people gathered outside, waiting for their chance to try the tasty fried chicken biscuit. Once inside, cozy up at the bar counter and expect some conversation with your waiter, even if they’re busy. They’ll even leave you a smiley face on your receipt." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
