Message from Flying Biscuit Cafe

The perfect little corner restaurant does breakfast at Midtown's hottest intersection.
The second location of the Flying Biscuit, located in the heart of Midtown resonates true to the neighborhood in-town energy. Located near historic Piedmont Park, dine inside or outside on the corner patio. The Midtown menu reflects the same defined alternative, healthy items as the Candler Park location with a killer breakfast served non stop all day. The Flying Biscuit Cafe recipes have endured since we opened our doors thanks to the diligence of our employees and the returns of our customers. Stop by today.Visit Citysearch.com

The perfect little corner restaurant does breakfast at Midtown's hottest intersection.

The Scene
While capturing the trademark quirkiness of its sister restaurant in Candler Park, the tiny, likeably cramped locale still feels fresh, streamlined and very Midtown. The dining room, decorated with groovy lanterns and trademark Polly the Potter crockery, focuses on an inviting front-and-center bar. Service is crisp and friendly.

The Food
Expect the same style of New Age power breakfasts at this location. The Flying Biscuit breakfast--two eggs, turkey sausage, grits or potatoes and an enormous, pillowy biscuit--is a tasty standard. More inventive is the Meggxican wrap: scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and Serrano peppers folded into a flour tortilla and topped with salsa and sour cream. Excellent orange-scented French toast, served with raspberry compote and creme anglaise, is fortunately available in half orders. A tasty slab of turkey meat loaf served with "pudge"--smashed potatoes with sundried tomatoes and olive oil--makes for a solid lunch or dinner entree.

    I’ve always had good service and good food. I live 1.5 hours away from Atlanta, but I always make it a point to stop there for lunch when I’m passing through.

  • Why the hype?

    How do you even rate breakfast? Any monkey can mix a pancake and cook a biscuit. Very average. Anyone that waits 2 hours for breakfast is a moron. Especially with all the great joints nearby. My experience was a long wait, average food, and average service. Exactly what I expected. Once was plenty. See you at R. Thomas'!

    I can't believe people actually eat those pancakes! They taste like straw. Even the biscuits aren't good. They are not flaky at all and look like undercooked baseballs. They can't cook an egg right to save their lives. The only thing good there is the turkey sausage.

    My husband and I had breakfast on a Sunday. It was abolutely delicious. We had been missing restaurants that have alternative choices. The flying biscuit offered turkey sausage as well as chicken sausage, which we loved b/c we don't eat pork. It was also nice to be able to have your choice of egg whites. This is the norm in California (we just moved to ATL 6 months ago), and we were glad to find a place with AWESOME food with those choices. The southern scramble is unbelievable! My only complaint was the wait. They were very busy, and we had to wait around 45 mins. to be seated. However, it was worth the wait!
