Cumberland Biscuit Company

Best food I've had on this Tennessee trip! We drove about 35 minutes from our airbnb to eat here and it was SO WORTH IT! Quaint breakfast spot with very kind staff. The BEST scotch eggs I've ever had and served with a mustard aioli that just completes the dish. The Fred eggs Benedict was delicious. Thick piece of ham that was like cutting through butter. Paired with the cheddar grits, which were also amazing! If you're in the area and a foodie this place is a MUST! They also had chocolate gravy... yes that's correct... chocolate! We didn't try it but I'm sure it's great. Fun fact... there's a QR code in the front at the hostess stand and in the bathroom for 25% off your first meal if you sign up for texts! Make sure you tip good, this place is well worth it! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Food was great. The we started with the Scotch Eggs, so good. I split a big burger with my boy and the chicken and waffle with two eggs since it was first time there and wanted to sample some. I do it all again. Had two you ladies serving and they couldn’t have been better.

Stopped in for breakfast as we headed to Short Mountain Distillery. We were greeted when we entered and immediately seated. We places our drink orders and the server gave us some time to look over the menu. They definitely have a good variety and some unique offerings. I ordered the supreme omelet and swapped out the ham for the spicy sausage. My husband ordered the Billy Nelson. We both got biscuits for our side and a side of home fries to share. Our food came out pretty quickly and was the perfect temperature. The home fries were seasoned perfectly. My omelet was delicious, it was more of a scramble, but still delicious. The meats were all very flavorful and the veggies were perfect except the mushrooms which were either canned or overcooked. My husband's Benedict was good, with a good variety of flavors. The sweet potatoes were a bit under cooked and the poached eggs were a bit overcooked, but otherwise tasted good. The biscuits were delicious. Our server was great. She gave us time to review the menu and make a decision, she checked on us appropriately and refilled drinks as needed. There are two restrooms, one was out of service. Street parking was okay on a Friday morning on the one way street. If you're in the area and looking for a good spot for breakfast, I'd recommend them!

Service was slow and I was by myself. Also, traveling as much as I have and dining out I always make sure to point at the menu and read the entree out loud when ordering so there is no issue. My order was input wrong so instead of Fried Chicken smothered in gravy, country fries, toast with over easy eggs, add bacon I received half. The Fried chicken and country fries came out after I was done with the first half. I get there is off days but an apology only instead of “I’m sorry only been back two days,” is an excuse. Also, “country fries” and chicken were over fried. First time customer so I will give a second chance in the future when back in town.

This is a must visit if you are in McMinnville. The food is not the biggest seller here, but the atmosphere is awesome, the location doesn’t get much better if you are walking around “Downtown” and the service is really good. The biscuits were very good. I had a pair of egg and cheese biscuits and they hit the spot. The potatoes and grits were a little bland, but everything else made up for it. The price is probably the best part of the whole experience. Definitely a spot you should dine in at. I don’t think the experience would be as good if it were take out.

We came into town from Rock Island to check this biscuit house out. We always love s good biscuit and I'd say theirs is up to par. My meal was great and Trudy's was ok (according to her). She ordered the veggie omelette.

Outrageously priced average food. You typically don't pay this much at resorts on vacation. Their food is boring.

Food was served late & cold, we had to reorder 1 meal because it was not delivered. The cost was expensive. Parking was tough and around the corner, tough on disabled people.

This charming and clean place serves delicious southern food. I'm trying to avoid gluten, but I couldn't resist the fresh biscuits. The coffee is from local crop (CalfKiller Coffee), named after a nearby river. It's fresh and tastes great. As a foreigner, I would prefer it stronger, but even the "weak" version has a great aroma. It wasn't just sitting there for hours, which is the case in most restaurants. I definitely recommend this place and will come back!

Cumberland Biscuit has always been my go to breakfast place for visiting family and friends. While the service remains great and the restaurant is always clean with a friendly atmosphere, my meals during the last 3 visits have been disappointing. First visit, I asked if my waffle could be served later because I like it hot and fresh. I was told that's fine, but when they brought it out it was cold. Server offered to make it fresh and that was great. It was obviously warmed in a microwave and was floppy like a pancake when she reserved my waffle. Second visit I decided pancakes may be a better option, but when they brought them out they were hard and rubbery. This time I mentioned the previous incident and was told to specify making them fresh upon request, otherwise they remain under the warmer which makes them hard and rubbery while still warm. Makes sense. This most recent visit with family, two of us ordered the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was so watery it soaked into the biscuit making it soggy. The usually very tasty home fries were simply cooked potatoes with no seasoning (they've always been very flavorful) and the over medium eggs had runny whites. The coffee had a burnt taste which is not the norm. It's usually hot, fresh and tastes better than the average cafe coffee. The recent inconsistency in the quality of the food is really disappointing. Willing to give it another try in the future, but definitely taking a break for a spell.

My food was delicious and a lot. The husband was not impressed. His response to his breakfast was " you would think the biscuits would be hot since it is in their name". 4 stars just cause of that.

The half veggie omelet with goat cheese I got was good. Bell peppers were a bit raw, but it was a nice try. The decaf coffee was dishwater. I returned it after one sip and asked they take it off the bill. They did not. We still tipped the server 20%, so it's not a matter of being a grumpy customer. Husband's country breakfast was better. Very good sausage!

Amazing food and amazing service! The vibes are fantastic, we loved coming in with our daughter and entire family as well!

Found this little gem while traveling . Great service and AMAZING breakfast! Biscuits and country gravy and the CB Hash with spicy sausage and a side of white gravy was delicious and filling!

Great spot in downtown area for breakfast. Staff couldn't have been any nicer, despite a large group (10). Highly recommended.

Went here Sunday early in the morning. They were not busy, so we were seated pretty quickly. Nice friendly staff. I ordered the seasonal special, Pumpkin Pancakes with a side of sausage and fried potatoes Could have just stayed with the pumpkin pancakes these filled up the plate, ended up bringing the sausage and potatoes home. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy and felted it was a little runny. We also tried the chocolate gravy over a biscuit, and this was pretty good. Overall, they kept my coffee cup full and checked on us pretty regularly Food was good. We will go back to try their other menu items.

Never heard of chocolate "gravy" - we transplants from the north would call it pudding... but surprisingly (to my tastebuds) went well with biscuits. I had the eggs Benedict. Delicious.

Fantastic!! Love the biscuits!! Friendly staff, service was excellent!! Small and quaint little spot!! Busy Saturday morning, so expect a wait! You'll be glad you did!

While touring Tennessee waterfalls, we found this quaint, local and outstanding breakfast stop. Omelets, grits, biscuits, sausage and sausage gravy were all best in class. Service was attentive, coffee filled frequently and ambiance slow and unrushed. If you are looking for a local, country and welcoming experience, this is it. Enjoy!

Our server Reilly was da bomb! She was very patient with our group of 7.5, and handled our staggered arrival and custom orders expertly and patiently. All the staff was friendly and pitched in to deliver our orders and refills with pleasant sincere smiles and unobtrusive efficiency. The furniture had hand-made rustic authenticity, but was surprisingly comfortable, the table planks were slightly uneven, but hardly noticeable I had scouted the location via Yelp, since I am an our-of-towner, and was prepared my custom order: a Florentine eggs Benedict, substituting an un-sugared beignet for the standard English muffin. The result was a culinary breakfast masterpiece, if I may speak immodestly. The crispness of the beignet shell and hot dense fluffinesses of the interior easily held up to the rich complex of juices that define a Florentine Benedict. Sliced avocado side perfectly complimented the main dish. Family members similarly loved their choices, we all agreed on the perfection of the venue, and conversation flowed freely, creating one of those shared magical meals that one hopes they all might be. I suggest the moniker of "Rocky's Beignet Florentine Benedict" if they ever put it on the menu. Do you think I might come back?

If you have biscuit in your name, please make good biscuits! So disappointed with the biscuits. They had no flavor and appeared to have been frozen. The omelet was good. The ham and grits were both overcooked. It has a cute environment and definitely has potential!

What a great find. First of all the is a fun little town to visit. Located along the East Rim of the Cumberland Plateau. This restaurant which I am sure is obvious by its name is a great local restaurant known for breakfast and brunch. The casual rustic atmosphere. It reminded me of being at Disneyland getting ready to go into the Country Bear Jamboree. Maybe it was the deco or the knee slapping country playing in the background. We were seated and served almost immediately. This is a small restaurant with limited seating, we came in just as the morning crowd was finishing up. Note they close at 1:30 PM. The menu oh it was so hard to choose, they had just about anything from Avocado toast to a chocolate gravy biscuit. There was a great choice of breakfast platters and the most unique benedict's I have ever seen. I had a FRIED CHICKEN BENEDICT Fried Chicken Breast, Poached Eggs, Creamy Cheddar Sauce on Grilled English Muffin. Can you say yummy!!! This is definitely a place to stop if traveling through this area.

Party of 2 for lunch on Thursday at noon. Service was perfect. Food was great. I had grilled ham and cheese on Texas toast with home fries. It was enough for 2 people to split. Husband had bacon omelette and grits. He was more than pleased. Highly recommend.

Excellent food, great service. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict on a biscuit with a side of cheese grits. It was amazing!

Had to wait 45 Minutes just to get a table and when we where finally able to get a table the food and ambiance was amazing but there is a lack of professionalism when it comes to Service, after taking our order they took forever to even bring us our drinks and when i looked over at the Waiters they where not doing what they needed to do instead they where Congregating by the Host Stand and playing around on their phones, overall i would eat here but it will most likely be a irritatingly long wait

Biscuits are Mana from Heaven Highly recommended Will return soon next time we are hiking the Caves

Friendly service, enjoyed the beignets, all the food was great. Rylan was our server, great smile and personality.

Great brunch, potatoes were awesome and the waffle was good over all it was good so I would recommend.

Yet again I'm totally satisfied The shrimp and grits we're awesome burger was crazy big cooked. Perfect. I don't know what I do without you guys.

Excellent Brunch Burger and atmosphere I highly recommend eating here. All of our meals were very tasty. Visiting from Texas.

Love this place!! This was our go to place while visiting McMinnville! The food was perfect southern cooking and enjoyed the hospitality! When we decided to make McMinnville our new home, we know where we'll be spending our breakfast mornings! They are veteran friendly too!

Quite possibly the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. They were busy and we didn't want to wait for a table, so we sat at the window bar seats overlooking the street. Our server was good, even though she had to deliver our order from the side. Couldn't be more pleased.

Let me start off by saying that I want to support locally owned and operated businesses. That is one such business that in my opinion should close down. I just left and let me say this my experience was much less than should be expected from any restaurant . When you run a commercial restaurant, there must always be a level of quality that is always adhered to. When you have an order of biscuits and gravy in which the gravy is so watery you could drink it through a straw, food quality is not important to this business. Anyone on the cook staff who would believe that this type of food quality is what they want coming from the kitchen is beyond my understanding. No one should waste your hard earned money on a business that has no care for the quality of food they serve their customers!

First, let me say it is hard to not give locally owned & operated five stars. That contribution to any local community is not appreciated as it should be. With that being said, if this were a chain restaurant I would be giving one star. Well, let's start with the atmosphere. I do understand the use of used tin on the ceilings and the naked wood panels giving that country chic vibe and I do enjoy the effort. On the other hand, the tall ceilings with the tables so close make for an extremely loud environment and the metal ceiling just acts as an increase to noise. We could not even hear our server. Let's get to the service. Our server was definitely not in the right profession. She disappeared often to the back, which is where my husband found her three separate occasions to get drink refills. I was brought an array of sweeteners when all I ask for was Splenda. The coffee was one of the best I've ever had and is produced just one county over! Calf killer, definitely running to Sparta to pick some up soon. Our food was at least room temperature when we got it brought out by yet someone who was not our server. We did receive more attention from Misty than Devan. I spoke with Misty after our visit and she was more than empathetic and did offer us a discount if we would give them another chance. I could tell the young lady who waited on us was out of her element but Misty and the other lady where exceptionally good at staying on top of things. I'm hoping to update this review with another trip but as of now I really wish I had just cooked at home myself. I'm accustomed to down home country breakfast, I grew up on it! I do understand that today we cook a lot of frozen items when we go out to eat. I would say it took way to long for our food to come out, close to an hour. Over all this was better than any item at a chain place but the noise level was crazy. I would highly recommend asking for Misty as your server the other lady was great too but I didn't get her name. They did wear mask and tables were sanitized between each customer very well. Refills where brought in a new glass ever time. We were there on this past Sunday and I didn't want to do this review without thought.

Took a family drive 2 hours to eat here, waited for 20 minutes to sit down at a table for 8. The 2 people sitting there had already paid but continued to sit there. When we decided to leave the hostess seated 2 other people at the same table. So unprofessional. We were so disappointed.

Fabulous food, a real find in a small town. The Billy Nelson Benedict is yummy, and I've never been disappointed, no matter what I ordered. The wait staff is super friendly, too.

What a burger!!! The CBC Black and Blue burger is delicious. Cool atmosphere. They close at 9 so get out and get one. Never slammed for dinner so service is pretty quick.

Stopped in to check out the town while looking at property. Husband was in need of caffeine. I could see this being our Sunday place! The staff is so nice! It's a biscuit company and even tho we don't regularly eat carbs who can pass up a good biscuit? These are buttery good. Just like my grandmother made. Tender and light. They included just enough butter and jam. I had to get a coffee cup to remind me of it all.

Perfect place! Eggs Benedict and coffee, wonderful! Staff are very friendly! Glad we stopped in while camping near by!

This is a Special find in the downtown area. Limited seating and as some of the other reviews have said, food can take a bit to come out. But this is a perfect small business with amazing food well worth the wait. No microwaved chain food here! I highly recommend the fried chicken Benedict with country gravy smothered on top.

This restaurant has the best biscuits and gravy ( I always says sausage gravy to make sure I get the right one- I believe it's actually their country gravy) I have been able to find here. The servers have always been wonderful. The worst part is that the restaurant is too small for the amount of business they get in the mornings so unless you are there right when they open, you will probably be waiting for a seat.

Extremely friendly and speedy service! Tasty home fries and sausage gravy and the eggs were fried perfectly. This will definitely be a go to spot next trip! The front door really needs worked on! Whenever someone leaves or enters there is a very irritating and startling loud slam!!!

Pass. I wish this place was better. We wanted to like it but food is subpar. But downtown location is perfection

Great breakfast joint. Seems like it's closed half the time I'm trying to go there. Their hours are accurate, I'm just not in town as often as I'd like on days they are open.

Stopped in for lunch today and WHAT A TREAT! The menu had a ton of selections, the coffee was piping hot, the waitress was lovely, and the food was decadent. Try the chocolate biscuit (pictured, sorry it isn't in tact, one smell and we had to dig in). Just try it. You'll thank me for it. Great fun, Cumberland Biscuit Company! We'll be back!!!

My daughter and I stopped for breakfast. We have been anxiously awaiting the opening since the covid shut down. Food was delicious and service is outstanding! Love the rustic atmosphere and the view of the historic Park Theater across the street! I ordered the Supreme Omelet and my daughter ordered the Fried Chicken. Both were amazing!

My first time ever going. People told me not to. Worst experience in my life. I ordered home fries. We got fried potatoes and YES their is a difference! They were terrible , some were too hard and some were not cooked at all! I ordered chicken on Texas toast. I ordered it without mayo, spinach ( this is the South lettuce not spinach), and no tomatoes. I ordered 2 They didn't put any cheese which is supposed to come on it. Didn't even toast the bread. They put a piece of chicken in between the not toasted toast. Needless to say everything was terrible. It cost me $37.00. Will never go back.

Decent. We don't go out of our way to eat there, but the fare outweighs fast food any day. Check it out and decided for yourself.

This little, locally owned brunch spot is hopping! Great atmosphere, staff, and really great menu options extremely well executed. This may be a stretch, but in my opinion, best brunch menu in the mid south area!! Gotta check this place out, even if it means a detour in your route. You won't be disappointed!!

Great food Kinda slow service But cool place down town Worth a visit But be patient

We were pretty stoked to try this spot since everyone spoke so highly of it from around that area, so we were happy to get right in on a Sunday morning at 11:30. We were greeted quickly and sat at a table close to the door. It's a small place, and it was full when we arrived, but only about half by the time we left 1.25 hours later. We were hoping for great food served timely so we could get our Sunday moving, buuutttt.... We ordered the Scotch eggs, the crab cake Benedict, and another benedict meal after waiting a bit to order. It took quite some time for our waitress to return to tell us they were all out of scotch eggs, we were disappointed, but a good scotch egg is hard to find, so not shocked. Then the wait began, and kept going, and going, and without any updates and a 30 minute wait for fresh water refills, finally 45 minutes later, we received our room temperature food. Overall, the food was good (great for the area), but not great. We were disappointed it sat so long before it made it to us, and it just wasn't worth the very long wait. We might consider going back to try something new in the future, but I doubt it unless the stars align.

I have to say, this is my favorite restaurant in town. I love to take a stroll around downtown McMinnville. I think it's a beautiful place. Now I have one more reason to visit! This restaurant was so good that we returned 4 days later. I highly recommend the Crab Cakes Benedict. The spicy hollandaise sauce is out of this world!!! The pancakes and biscuits are amazing. The scotch eggs were good, but not our favorite thing on the menu. The fries and grits were yummy, but I would just say that if you don't try the eggs Benedict you're really missing out. The service was fast and friendly and the prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. The restrooms were clean. We can't wait to go back and try more menu items!

First time here. We had the pancakes eggs sausage and grits. This was one of the best breakfast we have had in a long time. Wish I would have taken a picture to share. Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back

Love the atmosphere and most of the food is good. The biscuits?? They have a strong resemblance to frozen premade biscuits. Service wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst.

Excellent find on our way home from a weekend of hiking and camping! We all ordered something different for breakfast and it was all amazing!

Cute atmosphere, clean environment. Easy on the wallet. Delicious biscuits, worth stepping away from the diet. The pimento and ham on biscuit was awesome.
