“My sister and her family took me there for my birthday brinner and it was very tasty. Danielle the waitress was amazing. The mgr who shares my birth sign of virgo brought me a tasty dessert to celebrate and was very social and accepting even after a table of 7 walked in at 8:00pm. (Thank you) We had never been to any of the locations before and we decided to try this tonight. Everyone left extremely pleased with their selections all the way down to the ice tea and the virgin Bloody Mary. We all agreed we would be returning just not on weekend where it is 1 1/2 hr wait. 😳 Glad to have flying biscuit in the neighborhood. Thank you from all of us for a great experience and a new place to eat that we truly enjoyed. The Fields, Owens, Mclaughlin Families”
