Biscuitville is locally and family-owned, serving up Southern breakfast goodness made fresh from locally sourced ingredients. We’re makers and bakers, every craveable biscuit handcrafted from scratch and served in generous portions with a sunny smile. Biscuitville is where local flavor and Southern hospitality meet – every day until 2 p.m, seven days a week.

At Biscuitville, we know that local has a flavor all its own.

That’s why we source our ingredients from local and family-owned businesses whenever possible. Local means it’s fresh and authentic. And family-owned means recipes and ingredients you can trust, often handed down across generations.

We make our biscuits from scratch and bake them fresh every 15 minutes, right in front of our guests.

And we’ve done it that way for over a half-century. We’ve also followed the same family recipe with just three simple ingredients: locally milled flour, fresh buttermilk, and shortening.

Good food fast, without settling for fast food.

To eat eggs that look like eggs.

You deserve locally milled.

Scratch-made.

Fresh-baked.

Naturally raised.

And cracked by hand.

You deserve to know where your food comes from.

With ingredients you can pronounce.

Fresh, from family-owned farms.

You deserve slow-cooked, Southern breakfast goodness.

We're big on working with local, family-owned farms
and businesses

Our eggs come fresh from a farm in Monroe, NC. The flour in our biscuits uses locally sourced red winter wheat milled by a 5th-generation, family-owned mill in Newton, NC. And our 100% naturally raised, antibiotics-free chicken comes from a family business based in Mt. Airy, GA, made up of over 300 family farms in South Carolina and northern Georgia.

We source our ingredients responsibly from trusted partners, some of whom have been with us for decades.

We make our food fresh every day. We don’t do instant anything–you won’t find a single microwave in any of our restaurants. And we believe in transparency. Our kitchen is intentionally open because we take pride in how we do things.

There’s some local flavor in everything we do.

We hire locally; we source ingredients locally, and each of our restaurants is committed to serving its local community. Yes, we put breakfast on the table seven days a week and know many of our guests by name. But it takes more than tasty food and great service to nourish our communities. Each year we donate over 30,000 fresh-baked biscuits to local teachers, churches, and other organizations.

At Biscuitville, our purpose is to enhance lives by serving others–and that begins with serving each other. We’re proud to have stepped up and contributed when natural disasters have struck our communities. And every day our Rise Fund is there to help out our fellow team members in need when unforeseen expenses arise. 

He bet the farm.

The story goes that our founder, Maurice Jennings, was given the choice of the family farm or the family biscuit recipe. Suffice it to say, we’re grateful for his decision. And, yep, it’s the same recipe we use today.

The power of flour®

The former flour broker opens a couple of “bread-and-milk” stores in Burlington, NC, in 1966. And nine years later, the first Biscuitville opens in Danville, VA.

Spreading the biscuit love.

Today we have over 85 restaurants in North Carolina, southern Virginia, and now South Carolina. And the love keeps growing!

LOCATIONS AND COUNTING

After almost 60 years, #1 and still rising.

In 2023, 2024, and 2025, Biscuitville was voted #1 in the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

We see our story as a work-in-progress.

Our teams still rising early, to have breakfast ready for you.

Our biscuits still rising in the oven, fresh-baked every 15 minutes.

And all our restaurants still rising above expectations, dedicated to serving their local communities.
