Default What is your favorite place for Biscuits and Gravy?

My wife and I love to have breakfast out about once a week but we have never tried biscuits and gravy. After hearing how some people really love that succulent dish, I'm trying to convince her to try it sometime soon.

Do any of you biscuit and gravy lovers have a favorite place to get it?

I was getting gravy and biscuits at Sidewalk Cafe till they disappeared. Bob Evans has real good gravy and biscuits. Orange Blossom Country Club is good. Hacienda CC used to have the best homemade gravy and biscuits till they changed to the canned stuff you buy in the store. They went from first to worst.

Thanks for the response. It sounds like you take your biscuits and gravy pretty serious, Don. I like that! We are the same way with barbecue.

Have you tried the B&G at Darrell's? Everything we have had there has been excellent.

I'll tell you a funny story about Darrell's.....my dentist is next to the Darrell's cafe at Pinellas plaza. The first time I saw the new place, I went into the dentist's office laughing.....I said I know I am in The Villages when they open a restaurant for dogs! They told me it was for people! I thought that because there's a dog on the sign out front that it was a pet cafe! Just goes to show!

We like Bob Evans, but Darrells is pretty good too. The biscuits are good size.

I've had them at Bonifay at their breakfast buffet. I'm not sure if Evens Prairie offers them. If they do, I would go there. With a buffet you can taste and not waste.

They are really not that hard to make. You put cooked crumbled breakfast sausage into a white sauce. That's just equal parts of butter and flour cooked very slowly with the whisk constantly moving until it is no longer white, and then you slowly add milk. Taste and season with black pepper. I think the big packaged biscuits are pretty good.

Some like sausage in their gravy which is what Bob Evans does. Personally I prefer no sausage in the gravy. I love everything else they do. If you like sausage in the gravy you will love Bob Evans.

Yes, at our house, no one can do it like we do the B and G and I am serious. Most places we have tried in the past do not do well. Want to know how to do your own?

I'm not a big fan of Steak & Shake but they do have a decent Biscuits and Gravy on their breakfast menu.
