The chain is currently renovating the 3, 906 sq. ft. space formerly occupied by Local Taco in the Shops at the Colonnade. Greg Yund, franchise partner for The Flying Biscuit Café, is opening up the restaurant with his dad and felt like Birmingham was a great place to do just that.
“My dad and I have always wanted to own a restaurant together,” he said in a press release.
They’ll open the doors to the Flying Biscuit Café sometime this summer.
2. The Flying Biscuit Café is perfect for brunch

Here’s the menu if you’d like to take a peek yourself.
3. Their Biscuits are, apparently, the JAM
The first Flying Biscuit opened up in Atlanta in 1993. By 11 AM, they had completely sold out of biscuits. Now, 20 years later, they bake almost 5,000 biscuits per week at each location. Sounds like they’re definitely worth a try.

They’ll offer all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner with live entertainment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Yund said in a press release.

The Flying Biscuit Café cranberry apple butter is apparently to die for. They sell it in their online shop and say it goes perfectly with their biscuits.
