When I looked at the menu I really wanted to like it. It could have been better and the restaurant could have been cleaner. These last couple years have been hard on restaurants and it shows in a lot of them unfortunately.

Good gawd, another damning of a restaurant. And now you think by doing that, a revolution will start with people en mass whining about how they’ll never go there again when they probably never went to the Flying Biscuit anyway.

BTW, on my way to work today, I stopped in the Marathon station at Lake Deaton Plaza and got a pop tart and a diet Mtn. Dew; in and out in less than 2 minutes. It satisfied my hunger and the cost was less than $5.

You peoples standards are way too high.

I'm not a fan of grits. I also don't really go nuts for biscuits, I'm more of a rye toast kinda gal. I've looked at their menu and none of it appealed to me. If I'm paying $10+ plus tax and tip, it'd better be exactly what I want, all of what I want, and none of what I don't want.

So I go to Darrell's instead.

Been to First Watch, that was phenomenal, though again - very expensive. But at least it had what I wanted, which was...

1 or 2 eggs
toast with real dairy butter
home fries
bacon

I wouldn't eat there regularly because of the price. But it's a nice treat once in awhile. Their bacon is soooo good.

Makes my breakfast of Bran Flakes and fruit look a bit sad!

I have eaten there several times without your experience. Food has always been good. Suggest you give them another try.

They used to bring out a plate of biscuits before the meal AND more biscuits with the meal but not anymore.

Not our experience, we found it to be one of favorite breakfast places.

You were right the first time! Well for some villagers everything is golf car accessible. I’ve seen them driving down 466-A like nothing’s wrong .
