Handsome Biscuit

Food was delicious! Biscuits were soft and fresh but fell apart a few bites in. Everything was well prepared in terms of flavor!

The current Handsome biscuit is a far cry from the Norfolk staple that it use to be. Gone are all the items that made Handsome Biscuit a must go place for breakfast or brunch. Sweet potato biscuits have been replaced with a generic "secret biscuit recipe", gone are the craft sodas, delicious hashbrowns have been replaced with frozen tater tots, thick juicy breaded chicken has been replaced with small, dried out chicken that's mostly breading, a kiosk has replaced friendly smiles and greetings. It's like the owners are sabotaging their own restaurant! Why?!? They've increased prices and decreased quality.At least when Field Guide ended they were still good up until the end. Time to try Biscuit Belly. Hope it's good!

ShiiiiitIt was pretty good My sweet tea was ass, but other than that the biscuit and the tots were great

Tuesday morning visit to Handsome Biscuit was the perfect start to the day! The biscuits are light & fluffy but also soft & doughy at the same time. The egg & bacon were cooked perfectly. The service was friendly & speedy! You order on the kiosk inside or you can place an order ahead of time to pick up. There is no indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor picnic tables. I look forward to trying more of there biscuit creations! Highly recommend!

One word, delicious! On a recent trip to Norfolk I enjoyed the Handsome Biscuit. While here I had the Hella Fitzgerald w/ a fried egg. This biscuit comes with chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and sausage gravy. Had to have add the egg. The biscuit itself was so good. Flaky and buttery. The chicken was crispy and deliciously cooked. Batter heavy. If you aren't a batter fan, you may take issue. The bacon was crispy as well. And the sausage gravy? On point. One thing...this biscuit is sloppy, so eat it fast. Of course I had to drizzle that hot sauce on top! 10/10 would dine again. SYOY!

Well, being a devoted hot biscuit affectinato, when this suggestion of a local place to try in the Norfork area came up, I couldn't resist trying, and I'm glad I did. While I haven't tried enough of their vast array of menu options to give a very detailed review,  the choice I made will be discussed. My choice was a shorty (fried egg with a sauce and a helping of thick slices of ,  which was mouth watering delicious .  I threw in a side of their loaded tater tots, which didn't even make it back to the house, inhaled on the ride back, scrumptious and finger licking good. I doused this down with an iced tea that was worthy. All in all, making this is a great find and a definite return to location, soonest.

(Updated rating)Found out about this spot from mrchimetime on tiktok and he was definitely right about how good this place was. I ordered a takeout order of the chicken classic combo with orange juice and tots for a total of 16$ (a lil expensive). The chicken biscuit sandwich was great especially the chicken which was crispy and juicy and also the comeback sauce was also pretty good as well.The tots were standard but tasted even better with the comeback sauce. The orange juice was okay but nothing special.All in all, this place is really good and I woula recommend to all and be open to returning whenever I'm in the area.

Okay another perfect example Yelp should allow 1/2 star ratings. This place is a solid 4 1/2 star joint. But I found that a couldn't round up. But let me say - Go! It was a very decent meal. I found this place by someone posting something on social media a while ago. I happen to keep a folder of places I want to visit the next time in an area. Today was the day I chose this for my dining pleasure. The place kinda shocked me. I just assumed a sit down joint, but that was my mistake. No inside dining but a nice patio area and today was a great day. As for our meals. I had the HELLA FITZGERALD - combo. I also added a fried egg and chose the biscuit instead of a roll. It was so thick and full. I ended up eating it with a knife and fork instead of trying to pick it up by hand and it all falling all over the place. I enjoyed it a lot. It was very good. As for the wifey she chose the CHICKEN VERDE - combo. Also needed to eat with a knife and fork. It looked really good even though I didn't try any of it. The wife liked it a lot as well and really liked the sauce that was put on it. Let me say the two ladies working today (3/14/24) busted their butts getting the meals out and it was fairly busy. They did a great job and we got our meals very timely. So again, let me say despite my four-star rating. This is a solid place to enjoy a nice lunch meal. Go and enjoy the next time you're in the area or perhaps you live in the area and just haven't given it a shot - do so.

It's been a long time since we have been, and while our visit was good, it feel likes it isn't what it used to be. The photo of the biscuit in the plastic container is what we get now.

It's been 7 whole years since I enjoyed a handsome biscuit, today proved the consistency remains in both food quality and service after all of this time. The restaurant was cleaned and bathroom was also clean and fresh.
