Southern breakfast spot with signature grits, biscuits & apple butter
"Started in 1993 with investment from Indigo Girls bandmate Emily Saliers, this brunch classic is now all over the Southeast but is still very much cherished by locals who flock to their favorite Flying Biscuit restaurant for their signature creamy grits, oatmeal pancakes, and of, course, their sugar-coated biscuits. Don’t overlook the apple butter, which harmonizes nicely with the doughy biscuit. Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan, looking for a light bite or something so indulgent that you’ll be set to hibernate the rest of the weekend (eyes on you queso-covered fried chicken and chorizo hash), there’s something for everyone here. Plus, breakfast at all their casual and loudly colorful venues is the perfect way to ease into the weekend." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
"Their signatures: the creamy cheese grits and a sugar-coated biscuit with apple butter An easygoing breakfast with a classic Atlanta atmosphere" - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Started in 1993 in Atlanta, this brunch classic is now all over the Southeast but is still very much cherished by locals who flock to their favorite Flying Biscuit restaurant for their signature creamy grits, oatmeal pancakes, and of, course, their sugar-coated biscuits, which come with apple butter. Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan, looking for a light bite or something so indulgent that you’ll be set to hibernate the rest of the weekend (eyes on you queso-covered fried chicken and chorizo hash), there’s something for everyone at this quirky chain that looks like it's been decorated by a cherub gang with a thing for the Phoenix Suns color scheme." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
"The Candler Park location was the original restaurant opened by Champion in 1993; it helped launch a second site and set the stage for franchising in 2006. The location remains in operation under new ownership — Joseph and Matthew Hsiao — following the founder's later business moves." - Beth McKibben
"Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan, looking for a light bite or something so indulgent that you’ll be set to hibernate the rest of the weekend (eyes on you queso-covered fried chicken and chorizo hash), there’s something for everyone at Flying Biscuit. Started in 1993 in Atlanta, this brunch favorite is now all over the Southeast but is still very much our Atlanta sh*t. We all have our preferred Flying Biscuit location, which we routinely hit up for their signature creamy grits, oatmeal pancakes, and of, course, their sugar-coated biscuits, which come with apple butter." - Nina Reeder
