OMG……I am so sorry. I forgot to snap a pic when I got my food. It was good though. ? I went for their anniversary today and took my coworker to lunch. Neither of us had eaten at The Flying Biscuit before. The restaurant was very easy to find. It sits on the corner of 10th street and Piedmont, but Lord!!!!!!! Parking is absolutely atrocious!!!! Thankfully there is a lot right next to/ behind the building, but Jesus!!!!!! It’s tight and there aren’t many spots. If you have an suv, you are not going to be able to park here. My coworker and I got the flying biscuit breakfast; eggs, chicken sausage patties, grits, and a biscuit. Our server was named Lexi and she was really nice. The decor in the restaurant was eclectic and cute. There is art all over the walls and ceiling. Our food came out super fast and it was hot. We both enjoyed the meal. My coworker said her biscuit kept falling apart, but she enjoyed it still. The grits were super creamy. So much so, that they almost didn’t event taste like grits. They were so good. The chicken sausage was tasty and not greasy at all. My biscuit………was amazing. I needed you to pause for those few seconds to give respect to how good the biscuit tasted. I do have an after picture of my plate. Sorry again…….I was really excited. We only paid $11.27 for two meals. They add a credit card processing fee when you pay using a card. I’d definitely go back here, but I’d have to be in the neighborhood already or taking Uber. This would be a great place to eat breakfast before a day at Piedmont park.Parking: The lot behind/next to the building is free, but it is tight and small.

This place is a cozy little spot. The food was delicious, especially the grits! The service was amazing and so was our waitress. I highly recommend this place and I'll be sure to visit again when I'm in town.

I recently had the chance to visit The Flying Biscuit Cafe in Midtown Atlanta, a spot that's been on my and my out-of-town friend's to-visit list for a while. The anticipation was high, especially with the rave reviews about their breakfast menu. My brother and I went for the eggs, biscuits, and gravy, accompanied by grits and a side of bacon. My friend opted for the Georgia peach waffle, also with a side of bacon.Starting with the positives, the service was efficient and courteous, embodying the quick and direct approach that gets you in and out without much delay. It's worth noting, though, that the cafe has a strict full-party presence policy before seating, which we saw enforced rather strictly.As for the food, the grits were surprisingly the highlight of the meal for me - and I'm not usually a fan. They were creamy and well-seasoned, a pleasant surprise amidst an otherwise underwhelming experience. The eggs and biscuits were standard fare, nothing to write home about but satisfactory. However, the chicken sausage gravy left much to be desired. It was bland, lacking in both depth and the expected savory punch of salt.My friend's Georgia peach waffle, while aesthetically pleasing with its generous peach topping and drizzle of syrup and cream, fell short on texture. The waffle itself was dry on the inside, which was a disappointment given the promising appearance.A side note for future visitors: the cafe doesn't offer much flexibility in terms of menu substitutions or customizations, so be prepared to choose directly from the menu.Despite the bustling lines and the local hole-in-the-wall atmosphere that usually signifies a gem, the food didn't quite live up to our expectations. While the experience wasn't all negative, thanks to the service and a couple of satisfactory dishes, the lackluster flavors in what should have been the meal's highlights make me hesitant to return. For those drawn in by the cafe's popularity, I'd recommend tempering expectations, especially if you're a fan of rich, flavorful breakfast classics.

I’ve been to their Kennesaw location multiple times and absolutely love it. I tried this midtown location for the first time today and unsurprisingly the experience was just as excellent. My go to is the oatmeal pancakes which are hearty and delicious. This place really gives off a homey sunday family breakfast atmosphere and I’m convinced there is nothing bad on the menu. The service was great and I wish I had the name of my waitress today but she was excellent. Very kind, and on top of it. To top it all off, I mentioned to her that despite having been to the restaurant multiple times - I had never tried one of their famous biscuits (my go to order “drops of Jupiter” doesn’t come with one) my waitress then gave me one for free even after I paid my check…and it lived up to the hype.Well done to the staff at this place and I will for sure be a routine customer.

Waited 40 minutes. Cool space. Waffles were ordinary, chicken was good but served room temp. Just good. Fried green tomatoes were delicious!!

I was a walk-in for a to go order. They immediately were able to take my order, and as busy as they were, work a line 30 or so feet out the door with patiently waiting customers steadily gathering momentum received my for 15 mins or so later. Went to the park and had an absolute astonishing breakfast. First time there. Definitely will return.

I thought my Californian self hated grits, but Flying Biscuit proved me wrong! The California avocado toast was refreshing after days of fried food and was just a moderate size. The Benedict was perfect, also a moderate size. Service at the counter from Vladimir was excellent. If you want a giant plate for cheap, you might want to go elsewhere, but nothing else can compete with this flavor!Kid-friendliness: Lots of sweet and savory breakfast dishes, plus sandwiches, that should keep kids happy. Interior space is slightly cramped so large families are discouraged, and the noise level is relatively high.Wheelchair accessibility: The door is manually opened and tables can be tightly spaced, but at least there are no ramps or steps.
