I had a bad experience. Nobody would wait on me. The two people/host and hostess kept telling me. Somebody would wait on me soon. Nobody came. I had to keep asking for somebody to come to my table. The host and hostess not busy. They not check to see if somebody would come to my table. One female,white obese,rude young waitress came to my table. She was not tall,blond hair. She knew nobody came to my table. She kept asking if somebody came to my table. I told her not. She kept repeating herself. I asked her to leave. She left gave me a rude look. Nobody came to wait on me. I left and Mia wait on me. She was rude. She gave the other tables more attention. I had to ask her to come to my table when I needed anything. She nicer to the tables with men at it. She kept interrupting me and repeating herself. While she took my order. I had to ask her to stop doing it. She gave me my bill and ran away. And not come back. She slow to come to my table.
I stopped by the bar, at lunch time, for a quick order of one biscuit and order of collard greens. I inquired about whether the greens were already prepared.
It then took about 15 minutes. (1 biscuit and 1 side order) When it finally arrived it was not packaged "to go". It took another 12 minutes to come back and the server was not at all contrite. And the other reviewer is absolutely correct, the biscuits are mediocre. However, the collards were good.
I am excited that Flying Biscuit has opened in NC. It has long been one of my favorite places to eat in Atlanta. That said its more the atmosphere than the food that I like. The potato's are not good to say the least. I do however like that they serve veggie sausege patties as I do not eat meat. The biscuits are mediocre but the French toast is to die for. Really the #1 reason to eat here or rather to stop in is to pick up a jar of their cranberry apple butter. It is AMAZING!!!
"Southern-Style Eggs Benedict" - a spin on a classic. I can't believe I was talked into ordering this. Overthick, bland gravy, tasteless chicken sausage, and a runny egg, and DELIVERED NOT ON A BISCUIT as advertised. Strange.
Waited forever for our "appetizer" - fried green tomatoes. That were soaked in a thin film of grease with a small dollop of goat cheese on top. Another recommendation... and a bad one.
Classic two-egg breakfast for the lady ... not good, not bad ... NINE BUCKS.
Also strange was the service and timing. We sat at an uncomfortable upright bar table and were brought, first, two biscuits. Complimentary? Mandatory? Dunno. Then, waited an interminable amount of time for coffee. Also: biscuits no better than Mom's classic ... Pillsbury on a pan.
After coffee, were brought greasy fried tomatoes almost exactly 90 seconds before receiving our overpriced brunch items. And they sucked.
The chai was good, and the apple butter you get with your "sugar-sprinkled (WAT)" biscuit was good. Otherwise, a couple spent nearly 35 bucks, after tip, on bad service and a 90 minute brunch.
Go to NOFO, Porter's, or Tir-Na-Nog, or Hibernian for your 10-15 dollar weekend brunch. Go to Waffle House for a good greasy breakfast, but don't support this overdecorated craphole.
As I commented above, 8 people on opening night and everyone enjoyed their food. We'll all be going back.
You must be from up North. This food and service is a disgrace to Cameron Village, not to mention the South. They should do us all a favor and close the place. If I wanted biscuits from a can, I would go to the Harris Teeter and buy my own.
Wow is it any wonder why you got bad service, or were ignored, I bet you had this attitude when you walked in the door. I'm from Raleigh and I am embarrased to admit that you are a southerner, after all we are famous for our hospitality, and you are not hospitible
i had a great time. devine food and service. I will come back.i have recommended this restaurant to other people.
Tasteless, awful slop. As merchants of Cameron Village, we were promised a free preview of what's to come. It was disappointing to say the least. I would rather eat at Waffle House or any other greasy spoon joint, even Bojangles or the Evil Empire that is McDonald's than eat this sugary chicken dumpling swine-feed. All three of us were given messy, bland food after a rather hefty wait. I hope they get their act together. I was really looking forward to this place, but won't be eating there again until I hear some real raves from my customers in the Village.
Promised 5 star cuisine at 1 star prices. Which it failed to deliver. It is a cheaper breakfast, but having eaten breakfast at everywhere I can find in the Triangle, it is in the middle.
Biscuit, their signature item, was below par, with anything in your grocers dairy case, above and beyond what they offer. Everything else was either tasteless (eggs, signature chicken sausage) or lacking skill to cook properly (omelet).
If you want a hip looking restaurant, they will deliver. If you want a good breakfast, go elsewhere, or better yet, sleep in, and cook at home.
Totally agree. A disrace to southern restaurants. Nasty, bland food, terrible service and the owner, a real jack-ass.
Finally Raleigh gets a breakfast place that isn't high end like Fin's but isn't fast food like Bojangles. Flying Biscuit is located in Cameron Village next to Cameron Bar and Grill and the menu provides a lot of options. I like the veggie scramble, chicken sausage, and the grits. The grits must be made with cream cheese or maybe heavy cream. If the biscuits didn't have sugar sprinkled all over them I'd give them A++ but the sugar ruins it for me and I give #1 biscuit in town to Biscuitville, #2 to Bojangles, #3 to Big Ed's and #4 to Flying Biscuit. Great staff. Great atmosphere.

Service is lousy. Hostess did not greet us or speak. Look at me and stared until I finally had to tell her we needed a table for 3. We stood 2 feet from her and watched as she did the same thing to people that came in after us. I became some what of a hostess by telling people that she would not ask them, they had to tell her why they were there. Then I started watching as she started seating people that came in after us. When I asked her about it, her response was, "Well, I called your name." LIAR!!!!!! I was standing 2 feet from her and heard her call everybody's name but mine. I asked for the manager, who seemed like he didn't know what he was doing, who tried to make it a time issue and I told him that the time wasn't the issue, it was her and her ability to be extremely rude. Didn't eat there and will never step foot in the place again.

Wow sounds like you were really friendly, I guess you were never told that you get father being nice to people then being mean. You are the kinds of people that businesses prefer not to return!
