Bomb Biscuit Atlanta

"Bomb Biscuit’s lemon pepper chicken biscuit is a brilliant showcase of Atlanta’s two famous food exports (lemon pepper wings and the chicken biscuit). Don’t be dissuaded by the 60-minute wait for a table or the winding takeout line, a stop here will give you a new benchmark for breakfast biscuits. The fried cutlet is made from thigh meat, so the chicken is juicy and rich, and the breading has a salty, lemony tang that provides a nice contrast to the buttery biscuit. Bomb Biscuit is also walking distance from the Jackson Street Bridge, so you can grab a photo opp after your meal." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Whether you hit the dining room or the adjacent takeout-only entrance, be prepared for a wait at this busy breakfast spot in Inman Park. The payoff for your time is Bomb Biscuit’s lemon pepper chicken biscuit. The fried cutlet is made from thigh meat, so the chicken is juicy and rich. The cutlet breading has a salty, sharp tang that pairs well with the buttery, moist biscuit and sweet pickle slices. After you've savored the last flaky crumb, you'll be ready to crown Bomb and denounce all other chicken biscuits contenders." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard

"Baker Erika Council relocated her Irwin Street Market stall to larger quarters, taking over the former Field Day space on Highland and transforming the biscuit business into a restaurant with seating. Folks can still expect Council’s fluffy buttermilk biscuit sandwiches on the menu, including her signature Glori-Fried chicken biscuit and breakfast standards like the BEC topped with American cheese. There are also B’Onuts made from biscuit dough and delectable cinnamon rolls. Bomb Biscuit Co. has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for quality and value." - Lia Picard, Henna Bakshi

"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 on Highland, 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 long 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

"Owned and operated by biscuit maven and celebrated baker Erika Council, Bomb Biscuit Co. is the spot in Atlanta for fluffy buttermilk biscuits and biscuit sandwiches, including her signature Glori-Fried chicken biscuit. While American cheese (dubbed “the people’s cheese” on the menu), is the cheese of choice for biscuits here, the Pimento Chick is serving up cheddary goodness in all the right ways. Chicken sausage is topped with melted cheddar pimento cheese and served on a cheddar jalapeno biscuit." - Beth McKibben
