Flying Biscuit Cafe - Gainesville, FL

So they’ve done it again. The Hot Dirty Bird is probably the best way I’ve ever enjoyed chicken and waffles. House made gravy with a nice mild buffalo sauce. The runny egg yolk melds perfectly with all three to form the ultimate savory topping for a waffle. Visually scary, but amazing to the palette. The chorizo in the Three Amigos was perfectly seasoned and not very oily while still avoiding being dry. One should note they are served in a traditional soft corn tortilla so make sure that’s something you enjoy. Sauces were served on the side by default so you can experiment with the flavors how you like. Honestly underrated- the Grilled Mac n’ Cheese. Like nothing else I’ve ever having claimed to be mac n cheese. A must try. The “moon dusted” potatoes were fine. A house made seasoning blend on home fries. They were crispy enough but I’m biased against home fries so I will leave that up to the higher powers to say if they’re good or not. Also Hailey was an amazing waitress who was always on the ball practically always one step ahead of us.

Huge servings of delicious food! Everything you could want for breakfast! We ordered a variety and made a little buffet on our table. Eggs, grits, biscuit, potatoes, sausage, omelette, waffle with peach compote and oatmeal pancake! Everybody ate as much as they wanted and there was still food left over!

Flying Biscuit has a good breakfast/brunch menu. Their omelettes, scrambles, and chicken and waffles are all good. While their food is consistently good, the quality of their service is not. It seems that they are understaffed. Also because this place is popular, expect a wait even on weekdays.

Great breakfast in Gainesville! Customer service was excellent. Our host got us seated quickly during peak hour. Our server Daniel was friendly and got our order right. The menu has a variety of yummy options. The food came out in a timely manner and wow, the food here is amazing! The best biscuit and grits I have ever had. The French toast was perfect. Everything was delicious. I will return to try their avocado toast.

I drove 2 1/2 hours for this food. That’s just how good it is. The restaurant is always busy and it’s because the food is top notch. I am never disappointed. I used to get the high flyer and they changed the name but I get the equivalent of the high flyer every time I go just for the oatmeal pancake. Don’t pass up on those biscuits and specialty apple butter mix!! They are the BEST! Also did I mention their sweet tea is perfect. If you get a to go drink it’s huge. The staff is very friendly. They have outside seating which is really nice and they are dog friendly outside.The closest flying biscuit outside of this one is in ATL.

10/10 would recommend you stop by and don’t pass on those famous biscuits!

Flying biscuit has the best grits in town. Food is always good with great service. Well worth the stop and the wait. My favorite is the Hot Dirty Bird.

Service was wonderful and attentive. Food was hot, fresh, and delicious. All of our party had smiles as they enjoyed their breakfasts.
However, the coffee is weak. Way weak. Step up the coffee Flying Biscuit. Men drink it.

Hot Chicken and Waffle is perfect.

What an exciting find, food was delicious and staff exceptional. Ordered Shrimp and grits, omelette special of the day and French toast with fresh strawberries and raspberry dressing. I recommend visiting this restaurant if your ever in the Gainesville area for breakfast or lunch.

This is one of the best american breakfasts i’ve had. There is a big wait so be sure to call ahead on weekends.

The moon dusted potatoes are very salty so beware of that. The waffles were perfectly fluffy and absolutely delicious, some of the best i’ve had at a breakfast restaurant.

You have your choice of eggs and they cook them perfectly to your order. The bacon and the sausage were also cooked well. All the food was amazing and I am dying to come back.

The wait staff was also super attentive and helpful in the ordering process. Definitely worth the money over other breakfast places!

really good ! definitely get the grits, they really are that good. i got the freebird benedict with hollandaise instead of sausage gravy, and potatoes instead of grits (something i later regretted, although the potatoes were good too), and my mom got the basic breakfast with a fried egg, bacon, grits, and a pancake. all of it was really tasty, but by far my favorites were the chicken that came with my benedict and the grits, and the pancake was honestly delicious too. the biscuits come with a really good apple butter that i recommend too. good value for the price and really cute location with friendly staff ! :)
