Best biscuits and gravy you can get above the Mason-Dixon Line.
Roniel TesslerSeptember 19, 2015
The pork and onion sandwich tasted like onion and the egg sandwich tasted like salt. The biscuits are ok, but elevated with their jams. Skip the savory options and head to the sweets!

I've had some good bacon egg and cheese sandwiches in my day. Empire's makes the top five.

Some growing pains (slow service) but worth it. Backyard ham was fantastic.

All butter biscuit. Make sure you ask for it. So much better.

Noting to write home about. The biscuits are good. The complicated filings overshadow the biscuits. Best to stick with the simple ones.

Fried chicken biscuit. Maybe ask for ranch in the side.

i cannot believe this place is 24 hours. realtors should advertise that in east village apartment listings nearby.

Be careful with the ones that contain an egg .. it may explode all over you.

No public restroom available. This is legal bc they have 18 seats only (19 is the minimum amount).
SarahNovember 14, 2014
So far I can't find a better biscuit.
Umair ZiaFebruary 2, 2014
Overpriced for average biscuits. Chicken was over fried. Needed extra honey. Oxtail=meh. Banana pudding=decent. All biscuits were over baked. Edible, but won't recommend.
CarolDecember 22, 2015
Wouldn't consider it drunk food, but would go again for a sausage biscuit for breakfast
Andrew Del-ColleNovember 24, 2013
The world is your biscuit. I love this place.

Biscuits are the new bacon.
Jen ShinFebruary 7, 2015
honestly let down. very underwhelming and dry biscuit.
Nicolette RomeroDecember 17, 2014
World's driest biscuit. Skip this spot. 👎
Craig NadelOctober 31, 2013
Personally didn't think there was anything special about this place. Granted they just opened but the cooking time was extremely slow and unorganized. They were also out of many items. Bad start.

Eggs? Bacon? Biscuits? Yes, please.
Rob MortonNovember 7, 2013
You can't customize your own biscuit with meat? WTF?
