Even though the biscuit (which can be made with white or whole wheat flour) is this dive’s famed item, the Flying Biscuit grits are the true gem. If you are on the prowl for the most delicious cheese grits you’ve ever tasted (or ever will taste) then the Flying Biscuit is the place for you – or anyone with taste.
The expansive menu is filled with every sort of breakfast food you can imagine. From the Eggstra-Ordinary Breakfast (two farm fresh eggs, creamy dreamy grits and oven-roasted “moon-dusted” potatoes) and the High Flyer (two large farm fresh eggs served with their signature chicken breakfast sausage, creamy dreamy grits, plus an organic oatmeal pancake topped with warm peach compote and served with maple syrup) to the Egg-Ceptional Eggs (two large farm fresh eggs over medium, on black bean cakes topped with oven-roasted tomatillo salsa, feta cheese & sour cream served with creamy dreamy grits), the Flying Biscuit has it all.
And that’s just breakfast. They also have a full lunch and dinner menu, not to mention a bar.
There are six Flying Biscuit locations in Atlanta, but if you’re looking for the ultimate dining experience, check out the original location in Candler Park. Even though all the locations are decorated with the same theme, there’s something more authentic about the original.
