Biscuits are the quintessential comfort food. Whether you love them with gravy, butter and jam or as a sandwich, you can’t go wrong—they’re delicious. When dining out, biscuits are meant to be a starter or side dish to enhance your meal, but at some chains the biscuits are the star. Flaky, buttery, golden biscuits are hard to come by, but some restaurants bake them to perfection. From classic Southern spots to unexpected fast-food favorites, here are 6 restaurant chains serving biscuits people can’t stop raving about.
