The Fancy Biscuit

I order Fancy biscuit for takeout about once a month, and usually it's amazing! But today's was disappointing. The 'got your goat' barely had any goat cheese, the biscuit was stale and crumbly, the chicken was over cooked and dry. And the side of grits was barely half a scoop. I'll hope this is a one off late afternoon problem (ordered at 2 on a rainy day).

TRY THE RED EYE GRAVY. I was told theirs was different: Maybe, but in an amazing way. My first thought when I tested it was "amazing black bean soup". Smooth. Creamy. Nice spice. Not too bitter. I did not check if it was available in the market attached, but I would have taken home a gallon. Fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese: great. Sausage gravy: great. My southern bred father said he had never had such good biscuit with sausage gravy

Overall, I enjoyed my first time dining here! I got the “Got your Goat” and a Chai latte - both were great. Everyone else in my party enjoyed the biscuits they ordered, as well. I definitely appreciate that they have ample free parking which is sometimes hard to come by in RVA. The logistics of ordering vs dining in is not exactly clear/a bit confusing for first time diners. The indoor space is very small but there’s additional seating outside for customers to enjoy as long as the weather is nice (which thankfully it was today). Cute place! Definitely better than a lot of the other biscuit places we’ve tried.

So cute!! I can't believe I hadn't tried this place out sooner! Came here with a friend and her pup for brunch and sat in the covered area. They had so much seating outside, and it was a beautiful day, so we had a perfect time! The covered space seems like it could become completely enclosed in cooler months, and there are so many seating arrangements! Also the food was just delicious! I got the Black Dog and savored every moment of it! The biscuit texture was perfect. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu, it was so hard to choose the first time!

Cute spot but let’s face it, it’s not about looks it’s about biscuits. And let me tell you, they do not disappoint. I ordered the 2 biscuits with gravy trio and a side of cheesy grits for brunch. It was very busy at 11:30am on Sunday so I took it to go. I’ve never seen biscuits so tall and fluffy. I walked with the food for over a mile and it was still fantastic when I finally ate it at the hotel. It did take a little over 35 minutes to get my order, but it was prime brunch time and worth it. I did not care for the dark brown gravy. It tasted like coffee and was off-putting for me, but the two creamy options were superb especially the mildly spicy one with bits of meat. Get that one! The grits were pretty good. A little al dente for my tastes but still tasty.
