I've been here a few times with friends and have always been happy with the food and service, despite it being really busy at times. My boyfriend and our friend went to breakfast around 8:30 on a Sunday. We were seated with drinks within 5 mins. We had food within 15-20 mins of sitting down. Our order: Veggie Scramble w Fruit ($12.50) Chicken and Waffles w Moon Dusted Potatoes ($12.75) Chorizo Hash ($14.25) Mocha ($4.25) Mimosa Flight ($11.50) Overall the food and service were really good, no particular notes or complaints. I'm excited to come back and try more. Notes: I haven't had them, but I've heard the lattes and tofu scramble are really good here. If those interest you I'd give them a try.

Cute spot! Pretty small inside but the service was simply awesome! The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch! We ordered Eggs Benedict, a waffle, Fried Egg sandwich, and a Patty Melt which all come with a side of Moon dust potatoes.

The food here is incredible! The grits are so creamy and cheesy, the biscuits are perfectly flaky and so good with the apple butter, and the omelet was cooked perfectly. The server was very good and the food came out pretty quick. There was a long wait to get seated but it was a Saturday morning, so understandable! The ambiance is nice and is very cutely decorated.

My partner and I dined here the Sunday after homecoming. We arrived at 9:50 and were quoted a 40 minute wait. Luckily, we were able to snag a spot at the bar just 10 minutes after arriving. I chose the Hollywood omelet and it was good. My favorite part was of course the biscuit. My partner had the waffle breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly. The service wasn't as good as it would have been at the table but was great for bar seating. If you come on a weekend, be prepared to wait!

My parents and I stopped by for a late brunch after a funeral as Flying Biscuit is a popular brunch spot. When we were taken to our table it was not cleaned. I did have to grab the hostess to inform her to wipe down the seats and table again. After that mishap, we had a lovely waitress who was very nice and prompt. My mom and dad both ordered the Flying Biscuit breakfast and I ordered the biscuits & gravy which happens to be my go to here. I also ordered one of the seasonal flavored iced lattes which was a toffee nut with oat milk. It was very delicious, however a little sweet for my liking. Ok now onto the food, which came out pretty quickly. My meal was the biscuits and gravy which is made up of a split biscuit topped with scrambled eggs and chicken sausage gravy. I did opt in for their cheesy grits because, that's what they're known for. My biscuits were soft and fluffy. The chicken sausage gravy has a peppery flavorful taste that is hearty and does not leave you feeling heavy. I literally sopped that up with the eggs in one bite. You can't go wrong with their grits. They're slow cooked, cheesy, and creamy. It's like they melt into your mouth with each bite. I couldn't eat my biscuit that comes with the meal but I did take it to go with some apple butter. My parents enjoyed their meals and leaving no crumbs behind. Overall, it was a good visit and if you like Southern food or biscuits, definitely give it a try!

All in all, the Flying Biscuit Cafe is a good destination if you are in the Gainesville, Florida area and craving a nice meal. I came here with a few business clients at the suggestion of one of these associates, who is a regular here. The menu is more breakfast driven, but I ended up going with their patty melt. The patty melt also came with their "gold dusted potatoes." The burger and the gold dusted potatoes were both good. Our server was friendly, helpful and professional and only enhanced our overall experience. Even though the place was pretty crowded, our food was delivered to us in a quick amount of time and our server regularly checked on us and kept our drinks filled. The Flying Biscuit Cafe had a nice enough ambiance and since it was in a shopping plaza, parking was not an issue. Overall, I would definitely recommend here and I will give it five stars.

All I can say is the GRITS!!!! The creamy dreamy cheesy grits are the best part of the flying biscuit. Of course the biscuit's are buttery and soft, but put those two together and you have a perfect combo for your brunch date. We sat at the bar top they have and were greeted immediately with a friendly face. Next time I will definitely try one of their specialty lattes.
