Restaurant Review: Flying Biscuit

Earlier this week some friends and I decided to try the new restaurant in Cameron Village called The Flying Biscuit. Here's what I thought:

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I would give this restaurant about a 6. I will tell you this before I start, I do have high standards when it comes to restaurants because I want to pay for something that I would have difficulty recreating at home.

I enjoyed my meal. I had a salad with chicken, moon dust potatoes, cheddar cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I also had two of their famous biscuits, which were light, fluffy, and not greasy. I thought that the salad was pretty good. The potatoes on the salad were great and something that I have never tasted before. I thought that they went well with the dressing. I gave them a few points for that concept.

I thought that the service (or at least our waitress) was just ok. She forgot some things and didn't seem to want to bring us more biscuits. She would disappear from time to time. I didn't think she was dreadful by any means, just not outstanding.

I did like the atmosphere of the restaurant. I liked the color scheme, it was very bright. I felt that it wasn't stuffy and rather friendly. No complaints on that part.

In conclusion, I believe that The Flying Biscuit was pretty good. I would need to try more menu items to make up my mind totally. I would go back, if nothing else for the biscuits. The prices are also pretty good and match the portion of food that you receive. I don't highly recommend this restaurant as I would others in Raleigh, but I would say if you are in the mood for comfort food or a good biscuit, then give it a try.
