The atmosphere was fun, enjoyable and clean. Our server was attentive and very helpful. The food was okay. I ordered fried green tomatoes and grilled Mac & cheese. The fried green tomatoes were not the customary tomatoes. They were much smaller in diameter and really firm. The mac & cheese was good.
Same great grits and other breakfast items as the original, but in Midtown. Easy to order take-out (and skip the lines). Sunday mornings when they open (around 7) are quiet, with immediate seating.
It was a a pretty long wait to get in (granted there was 6 of us), but it was well worth the wait. Everyone enjoyed their meal, even the vegetarian among us. I can personally vouch for the peaches and cream! The staff were really good as well. We'll be back again the next time we're in Atlanta.
The food is good. The service is the slowest I've ever experienced. Definitely don't go ready to eat. There we're only about 15 people in the restaurant including my party of 8. It took about an 1hr, if not longer for scrambled eggs dishes and pancakes. We we're told they had 3 cooks preparing food.
I live in the building almost connected so this is very disappointing. I have visited this breakfast spot multiple times. First, food is good. I'd give food a rating of 4 stars. Service gets 3 stars they are not the friendliest bunch since they get so busy but they get the job done satisfactory. Lastly, waiting list and waiting process is horrible. Was told 30 min, no biggie, came back and waited another 20 min. Saw 4 tops getting seated after they waited for only 20 min. Hostess and manager said they only have certain number of tables for 2. Thus, if I would have had 3+ in my party I would have got seated 35 min prior. To me, that's not fair. Give me a 4 top then. Tip for everyone, even if you have 2 people say you have 3 people to get seated quicker since they have a ton more 4 top tables. Sad experience, terrible process. Again, sucks because I live in same building pretty much.
Nicely located authentic spot. Attentive and fast service. Had a grits and gravy breakfast. Overall fantastic - grits a little too sweet for my taste (prefer savory) cozy atmosphere with plenty of light
I've been coming here for years and The Flying Biscuit even catered my wedding! I love that I can eat in or take out food and get great service. I came this time on Father's day after calling in an order of pasta, sausage and eggs with a side of grits for my husband - he deserves it! I walked in and my order was packed neatly with everything we wanted and needed. I love this location and the service I get every time I come. The food is delicious - especially the grits! They haven't changed. That's a great thing! I'm looking forward to coming here for years to come.
One of my favorite local Atlanta restaurant groups. It is must eat at place if you are visiting midtown or bring out of town guest to Piedmont Park (as the park is only a few blocks away from the restaurant). I've eaten at several of the Flying Biscuit Cafes around the city, and the service at this particular one is hit or miss, but their signature food is always delicious. This restaurant is also an awesome option for any vegetarians or vegans who you may be entertaining, as many of their items come with options to substitute meat alternative, and they even have a few fully vegan items on their regular menu. Again, a must eat at place for anyone coming to or living in the city. Forget The Varsity, this is the definitive Midtown Atlanta restaurant.
Such a cute spot for brunch! The food was great and the staff was very friendly.
I recommend to sit out back by the patio.
TLDR; I'd never go during the weekend unless it's before 9am or after 4:30pm. Otherwise don't expect consistent service. Try a different location!

I've been here twice: my first visit was during peak brunch on a Sunday. My biscuit and gravy + potatoes tasted fine and the portions were more than hefty for the value. The service was non-existent though. Someone took our order, another person brought us our food, and I had to flag someone else down twice for a check. No checkups, no refills, nothing.
The second time I went was a Sunday around 3:30pm. The seating ordered list was pretty disorganized for it not to be 'peak'. The service was a step up in the means that we had the same server throughout. The food was also on par with my first visit. But what's up with the biscuits being slightly undercooked and gummy?
I was a solo diner so Was offered to skip the queue and grab a seat at the counter. Got the high flyer brunch with the dreamy grits! Everything was delicious, the staff were super cheerful and friendly and I even left with their cookbook! Can't wait to bake some biscuits my own now :) must visit if in Atlanta!
For my first time here, the food wasn't out of the this world for me. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious southern food but it wouldn't be my go to place. The positives are that the staff is super friendly and positive. The restaurant is uniquely decorated. Overall, go and try it!
I love the atmosphere of this place and overall, the quality of the food is good. They do creamy, Southern grits right. However, the biscuits here are a 4/10 at best. I'm a huge biscuit lover and the biscuits here were dense and flavorless. This restaurant needs to take the "biscuit" out of its name. A "good" Atlanta brunch staple, but so far, over-rated in my opinion.
