- Some bakeries like Sunflour and Milkbread offered creative biscuit sandwiches.
After Southern Living threw shade at Charlotte’s breakfast scene recently, leaving the Queen City out of its list of the best biscuits in the South, we had to ask where you find your favorites.
With a dash of humor, a few of you responded with things like “my kitchen” and “Pillsbury from Harris Teeter.” (To be fair, those are really pretty good options.)
Plenty of you are stalwart fans of Charlotte-based Bojangles, where the Cajun Chicken Filet Biscuits, Pimento Cheese Biscuits and Bo-Berry Biscuits often call out to us all.
There was also lots of love shown for Bojangles’ chain restaurant peers Biscuitville, The Flying Biscuit Cafe and KFC.
