A fellow judge friend of mine recommended this place to me so I drive down to check it out. He eats there several times a week and he cannot get enough of the food there.
Take my word for it, it is well worth the drive no matter where you live in the Valley or your taste in food.
The place is easy to find, although the front door is a little strange. But after I got seated, I was treated to wonderful service by two very funny waitresses who were lippy (in a good way) and fun to boot.
I had the eggs benedict, which without any question had the best hollandaise sauce I have ever tasted. Also, they were generous with it, not just a few drops like most restaurants serve. They served unlimited iced tea, which I love. The poached eggs were perfect.
I had a chance to meet the owner. Nice guy who seems to genuinely care about his customers.
I have tried most of the breakfast places in the Valley and this one is the best so far.
I recommend it to all.Listed in: Best Eggs Benedict Places in…

Review from Laura L.
We went to Biscuits for the first time this Friday night for an early dinner.
We were disappointed to find that breakfast is not served all day on Fridays, as they have their Friday Fish Fry.
No matter, it just gives us an excuse to come back.
The chicken fried chicken was perfectly crispy and seasoned well. DH ate EVERYTHING on his plate. The only thing he did not really love was that the corn was heavily buttered. Next time he will ask for no butter.
The smoked chicken jalapeno alfredo was good, but I may skip it in the future. I only found three small slices of jalapeno and I was hoping for something spicy. This was very mild and the pasta was drowned in sauce. Some people might like a lot of sauce, but I prefer it to be just coated... not floating. It did come with two pieces of delicious garlic toast, which was a definite bonus. If I do order it again, I will just ask for the sauce on the side and extra jalapenos for heat!
DD just had a grilled cheese with applesauce. She did not like the applesauce because she happened to bite into a spoonful of cinnamon. Oops! DH didn't stir it for her and I sort of missed that, as well!
I asked the waitress for a biscuit and she brought one over to me to try, It was actually very good. It was not sweet like some other reviewers mentioned. I found it heavy, but I like my biscuits that way!
The best part about Biscuits was the service. The waitress was very nice and helpful. One of the ladies from up front came by to check on us and even brought us a to go menu when we told her it was our first visit. I mentioned their website had been down, but she said it should be up by now and that a lot of customers had mentioned it. It's not up yet... hmm.
We will definitely come back to Biscuits again... next time for breakfast. -

Had a lovely brunch! Got in just before the lunch rush on a sunday so get in at NOON you'll notice people start coming in groups little after noon.
I had porkchops and egg breakfast with a single pancake. Meal was great eggs were perfect and biscut was so soft and flakey. Pancake was WAY bigger than I thought and kind of regretted getting now since I couldn't finish it. My only bad thing was the porkchop was a little tough for my tastes but still tasty. My boyfriend had the jalapeno alfredo that has to be the best thing on the menu. Delicious! You get the creamy alfredo taste immediatly then this slow addition of the jalapeno taste. I didn't think it was spicy but my boyfriend was sweating so if u order it it may be different based on your spicy level.
Our waitress was really nice and the entire staff there is so inviting. I watched I think who was the owner make rounds and chat it up with everyone. Groups of people there were addressed by name so they must be regulars. I hope to become one as well. Thanks for the lovely breakfast! -

I can see Biscuits becoming a mid-day go-to for late breakfast and lunch. I've stopped in a few times, also gotten takeout, and I can see why it's starting to build a following. Solid+ down home food, A+ service
I'll mention this right up early . . . their Portuguese sausage is excellent, and cooked just the way I like it. Sliced and crisped all over. Yeah, I wiped a few napkins full of grease off them, but they were a great side. DEFINITELY will be back for those. Seriously, who else is doing Portuguese sausage in AZ?
Next, their meatloaf with mushroom red wine gravy is great. Strange to me, it comes with mashed covered in white gravy? Huh? The next time I order the meatloaf, and I certainly will again, the white gravy is getting 86'd.
Three times I've had the Denver omelet, and it's always been solid. Not great, kinda skimpy on the green peppers and ham, but well made.
The hash browns are standard, which makes their corned beef hash a bit of a disappointment. I'm by no means an expert on corned beef hash, but I wanted crispy hash browns mixed with corned beef, and both came out kinda soggy.
Their biscuits . . . I believe they mix in some grits . . . are definitely gut bombs. Perfect for a hungover morning.
If you're eating in, and order pop, they bring you your pop in a big glass and leave an extra carafe of it at the table. Nice. Wasteful sometimes, but nice.
Overall, Biscuits is a great addition to the Ahwatukee neighborhood -

I went there yesterday for the first time and had the Eggs Benedict. OUTSTANDING. Hash Browns were perfectly seasoned and very tasty. The hollandaise sauce was to die for and I wish I had toast to sop up every last drop.
My sister thought every thing was a bit salty but she seasoned before tasting so my advice is to taste first then season as we get used to the chain restaurants to under season everything.
This is a place that I have to come back so I can try everything on the menu. -

I have wanted to eat at this spot for awhile... I ended up going for lunch entered this spot and we were seated right away and I looked over the menu so many options... But I came for the spam I had not eaten it for years... I ordered the WWll Spam and Eggs - A thick slice of crispy Spam (pork shoulder and ham?) with two eggs any style and a side of country gravy. I rate the experience as followed...
Spam - B+
Eggs - B+
County Gravy - B+
Staff - B+
County Potatoes - B
I really enjoyed the meal it was a lot of food... I ate it all I will be back for sure lots on the menu I want to try. -

Biscuits is a great breakfast/lunch place. Be prepared to wait on Sat/Sun mornings but it' always been worth it. Friendly but busy staff, free coffee while you wait and they always say they are sorry for making you wait.
The decor is back home country. Reminds me of my grandma's kitchen.
The food is good, and a huge plus for having chicken fried chicken for breakfast, that means no more having to go to nasty cracker barrel for it!
I love the country gravy, love the chicken fried chicken. The grits seem pre-sweetened and I can see how people might not like that, myself I am all good with that. Now the one downer is the Biscuits, I am not a huge fan, they are huge and heavy. I myself like the lighter ones.
I've had breakfast and lunch items both there and all have been lovely. My best friend swears by the corned beef hash, he orders it as an add on to everything and anything he gets there.
You can eat and get beyond full for two for about 20 bucks and that is a huge plus for me.
The only bad thing we ever got there was a cinnamon roll for my son. He said it was nasty and couldn't get past one bite, he said it tasted like a hard roll with some funky icing. I have never myself tried it but it didn't look that good honestly. But hey, if that is the only minus for them I am ok with that!
I would totally suggest getting over here and give them a try, they are also open late on Friday and Sat's for fish frys! -

I've tried their breakfast and was happy with what I had.
I ordered the Portuguese sausage breakfast. I grew up on this sausage, Linguica, in the Bay Area so I'm used to some good stuff. This was okay, I didn't get a lot, but enough I suppose. Eggs were good as well as the hashbrowns.
We ordered a pancake, yes, A, one, for the table and it was very good. They use REAL butter here, it makes me so happy.
Breakfast was good enough for me to come back and try lunch soon. I'll re-post after. -

Stumbled upon this place because it looked so ma and pa.. you sit yourself by the way.
I RARELY eat fish and chips and I felt adventurous today, so I went ahead and ordered- whoo. Besides, the rest of the menu was breakfast items and I wanted to get something different!
The Crispy, hot, flat pieces of fried fish over a bed of fries and cool bowl of coleslaw made my day. It was comfort food that hit the spot. The server especially caught my attention because she was on top of everything and made seafood recommendations to me as I went up to pay. She didn't seem like a waitress that hated her job.
They close at 7pm on the weekend- what's that all about? :( -

UNBELIEVABLY good! Possibly the best pancakes I've ever had, the "Champion Pancakes." Made with whole wheat batter, tons of sliced almonds, granola, cinnamon, and blueberries - all stirred into the batter. I asked for no butter, and they were completely non-greasy. There are several fruit syrups to choose from as well as REAL maple syrup. Good grits! Good, "country potatoes" made fresh, not frozen. Fresh-squeezed orange juice. Next time, I'll try the fresh blueberry muffin or the frosted cinnamon roll, but I won't skip those pancakes!
Super wait staff - really friendly and prompt.
A comfortable, spacious, no-hurry atmosphere. Not the "eat and get out" I've experienced at the chain restaurants.
Easy to find - right off the interstate. Large parking area - restaurant itself is right next to a strip mall.
I'll be returning each time I visit Phoenix.
Breakfast & lunch...dinner on Friday & Saturday.

Good service, food was OK. I've tried the pancakes twice and how can I put this? There's no way around it, they're not good. They were burned the first time and both times hard and not very tasty. The basic fare (eggs, bacon, potatoes) were good but Biscuits will not be my first breakfast place choice.

When we get the craving for that home cooked comfort food, this is where my wife and I go. The menu is all good old fashioned food, and there are times I appreciate a straight forward meal that hasn't been messed with.
1. I do like the food, a lot. This is the type of meal the chain restaurants try to copy and market as "home cooking", that stuff doesn't hold a candle to the real deal.
2. The service is outstanding. The staff is so nice, one of the servers has become an auntie to our 1 yr old son. He just beams every time he sees her.
3. I really like that it's local and they use local and organic whenever they can. A big plus for me.
4. Spam. They have a WW II Spam & eggs breakfast plate on the menu that I just had-to, had-to try. How does it get more home cooking than that? Oh, by having S&!# On a Shingle, that's how.
5. I grew up in small farming communities in the Intermountain West, so this place felt like home to me. Forget the douchebaggery, this place is as real as it gets. -

Great diner, great food, great friendly service. Love a place that gives you your own coffee pot. Everything was hot and tasty. Only reason for not 5 star rating was the bitter tasting coffee. Arbuckles coffee from Tucson would be my suggestion for superior smooth tasting coffee. I noticed others on yelp said the same thing about the harsh taste. Yes I do plan on revisiting soon. I will just pass on the cup o joe. They did win the best eating place award in their neighborhood this past week and well deserved in my opinion.

The real draw of this place is it's service and ambience. It has a country diner feel with excellent service and hometown feel. The owners stop by your table and ask how everything is. Our waitress was prompt and friendly. The food was brought out quickly.
I agree with many of the others, the food itself was only slightly better than the national chains. The biscuits were good but not stellar; the biscuits and gravy at Crackers is much better. The juevos rancheros had refried beans, eggs, cheese and salsa dumped on a flat tortilla in one large mound. You couldn't fold the tortilla over and you couldn't eat it with a fork because the tortilla was really hard and overcooked.The portions are huge. I don't agree with the comment about the hashbrowns being served in small quantity. We couldn't finish our breakfasts.
I will come back however because the service and ambience is amazing and there are a lot of dishes on the menu that look interesting that I want to try. It's also nice to give back to local businesses and foster this than going to chains. Plus I just really liked the owners.
Think more Good Egg instead of La Grande Orange and that describes this place. -

There's two ways to look at this place. One is getting quality food at a good price. The other is getting a lot of food for a cheap price. I prefer the former but those who prefer the latter won't agree with my review.
I thought the scramble I had was okay but nothing fantastic. I definitely didn't care for the biscuits. The food wasn't health conscious at all but if you're looking to fill up with calories and get a good-sized portion then this is your type of place. Also, I am not a fan of the diner-type ambiance... I would rather have something with more character but I'm glad I tried this place out. -

My husband and I enjoy going there on the weekends for breakfast. We also take guests when they come to town because it's close to our house and you can get a homestyle breakfast for a decent price! They have a wide variety of classic breakfast dishes; something for everyone. This place is by no means fancy or upscale, it's just a mom and pop restaurant with great breakfast. The servers are always friendly and the owners do a good job with seating people on the weekend when it's busy.

The girls met up with the boys after they rode bikes this morning and we had a great breakfast. There were only a handful of other people there so our food came out within a few minutes and it was all very good. We had a nice variety of food inlcuding eggs benedict, home fries, bacon, grits and Portuguese sausage. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared to order.
Our waitress was very nice but didn't hover. I love it that she brought a carafe of extra soda to allow us to refill our own sodas when we needed more.
It's right around the corner, so I am sure we will be back soon. -

We were cruising through town and randomly picked Biscuits. After enjoying the fantastic breakfast (and delish milkshakes!) I noticed that not only did our waitress make certain that we were taken care of, everyone that walked by the table always made certain that we had full drinks, if we needed anything, etc.
Biscuits team of upbeat, positive servers and staff were fantastic and made this a five star experience for all of us! What a team!! It was so great, we ended up going back again the next day. Go Biscuits! -

I checked out this place with a Groupon deal, and boy am I glad that I didn't pay full price! For a place called Biscuits you'd think that their biscuits would be superb, right? Sorry, that's not the case here. Their biscuits tasted like they were baked several days ago and were microwaved. They were dry and hard on the bottom.
I ordered a hotdog, which was on a bun that I think I've purchased at the grocery store... y'know, the kind you get in an 8-ct package for $0.99. The fries tasted like they were frozen.
My friend ordered the southern style chicken strips. He figured they'd be really good since they were $9 and were listed as a house specialty. Sorry, but it seems like these were frozen, too, and the fries were the same ones I got.
To top off the whole experience, the waitress was snippy and didn't want to take our Groupons. They said one per person and she was convinced that they should be one per table.
TL/DR version:
Overpriced food for what I can get at Walmart and fry at home or pick up for half the cost at McDonald's. -

Food is good nothing to rave about but plentiful and just dont be in a hurry.
Hours are bad. I bought the Groupon thing and cant use it because they close so darn early.
The lady told me "Oh well we are open late on Friday nights!" (ya 7pm is not late here in the Tuke lady.)
I agree with the first review, it would be nice to have the entrance in the front, guess they didn't want to pay for that remodel.
Ultimately, I miss Chueys. -

This is a great example of an old style diner. The average age on Sunday morning was 60+ and all heavy eaters.
The food was good to average. I enjoyed the pancake, biscuit, eggs, grits and ham steak. I sampled the gravy and it seemed pretty good as long as you like pepper. Overall I thought this place deserved better reviews than I read. We had great service and we were seated right away.
My only suggestion would be that someone sell them some homemade local jelly or jam to top their biscuits with. I mean come on....small packets of Smuckers for their signature item? -

I went for lunch today with friends after a hike. We were hungry.
I had a lunch meal. The sandwich was fresh, hot and generous. My side salad was wilted. I would have thrown out the lettuce in my home.
One of my friends had a traditional breakfast, and he said he was great. Eggs cook properly, and again generous portions.
My last friend (at breakfast, not on the face of the earth) had a breakfast burrito, and said it was very good. I think my salad was the weakest link.
The service was good, and everyone seemed very friendly. We were seated within 10 minutes, and being warned there would be a wait. They left carafes of coffee, iced tea, and soda on the table for self-refilling.
The prices were fine. I'd go back, but avoid the salad...at least at lunch time. -

My lunch crew warned me that the food and service had gone downhill. I went there with my husband for fish fry. I told him about the breakfast. However, they don't serve breakfast in the evening. They have a very limited menu.
I had the fish sandwich with fries and soup, for 9.89, my husband had the fish fry, cole slaw and fries for 9.89 (no soup or salad)
The clam chowder was awful, it tasted like corn starch and only had a couple potatoes and no clams. The fish itself was good, but the fries tasted stale.
The breakfast might still be ok, but after such a disappointing dinner, I won't be back. It is a shame, this place used to be good. -

This place has breakfast that is like your momma's kitchen (if your momma can cook :-)
I like Cracker Barrel, but in my opinion, Biscuits has them beat. The staff is really friendly.
I've eaten: Eggs, pancakes, turkey sausage, Chirozos w/scrambled eggs, steel-cut oatmeal, fried catfish, and of course biscuits - and will be back to try everything else on the menu!
The important thing that has to be done now, is that we keep eating here, so that they will stay open -or- the option will be: don't keep eating here and let it close down and be stuck eating corporatization food. -

New in Ahwatukee area and probably a great example of why Restaurants have such a great failure rate. A great concept very poorly executed!
While my "Test Breakfast" was absolutely awful, I was more interested in the comments of the people around me.
"Very slow service."
"Doesn't taste like a pancake."
"Even the coffee is awful."
"This sausage tastes like bologna."
My "Test?"
Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. Seems for a place named "Biscuits," this dish should be a trademark signature dish. Absolutely awful taste! Made with link sausage and the fellow "breakfaster" was correct, when he said that the sausage tasted like bologna! The gravy was pasty and tasted like flour with no sausage taste at all. Not even a butter taste to it. Quite possibly the worst I have ever had!
The biscuits you ask? Awful as well, being thin and tasteless bordering on way too salty and equally inedible.
Incidentally, when asked "how was everything" I replied "not good," the Cashier didn't follow up to ask what was wrong, she just gave me my change and said "thanks for coming in."
They will have to get lots better in order to make it. I won't try it again, but my prediction is they won't last. -

Good little Mom & Pop breakfast joint. The owner is retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and is super friendly. Being a Marine veteran myself, this place has already scored points with me. The food's pretty good, better than average but definitely has some room for improvements; not enough to turn me away from the place.
Being a creature of habit, I always get the country fried steak and eggs with a biscuit. They're fairly consistent with their preparation of it too.
Coffee is....well, it's diner coffee, which really only adds to the charm of the place because really, I do sort of see it more of a diner than a restaurant. I think they should really throw in a counter and some stools.
And of course their biscuits... By naming your place Biscuits, I think you set the customer's expectations of the biscuits pretty high. Don't expect too much and you'll find that their biscuits are pretty good. -

I went here for breakfast last week because I had a Groupon, and it was just ok. The service was fine, we had a nice woman as a waitress who was attentive. I thought the coffee was good, it had a nice nutty flavor. I ordered an omelet with avocado, onion, broccoli, and asparagus. I thought it was fine, but nothing special. The cheese they used didn't have a ton of flavor and I thought the home fries had a really weird flavor. The biscuit... which should have been really good.... was not so good. It was not flaky nor did it taste like what I expect from a good biscuit.... The BF got the biscuits and gravy and said he liked it, so that's why I added another star. Overall, I would not go out of my way to eat here again.

Everyone says the service is excellent, and it's not bad. I'm not sure I would lead my review with it. They were attentive, but I don't know about it being over-the-top good. We had some food mishaps that they fixed for us quickly, which was nice. There is tabasco sauce in the hollandaise for some reason. It's not a lot, and I actually kind of liked it, but the person I was with who ordered it could not handle the heat. I figured that would be something you would point out in the menu. The rest of the food was good, but nothing to write home about. Very country and very comforting, but all super heavy and nothing screamed homemade. It was a good meal, but not a great one. Would I go there again .... maybe.

Biscuits is OK. I'm not opposed to returning, but I'm in no hurry to do so either. The food is a little better than those national chain breakfast spots...but it's nowhere near phenomenal either. The concept of the restaurant is sound, and it seems like the owner's intentions are good; but the execution isn't fully up to par.
NOTES:
+The biscuits are indeed good. Big, fluffy, hot, & fresh. They're even a tiny bit crispy on the outside. Very tasty...and I don't even usually like biscuits.
+Served with real butter (not margarine). Nice.
=Bacon was decent...crispy, and not super greasy. But it wasn't super thick and meaty (and apple-smoked) like some of the better breakfast spots.
=The chili was ok. But it could have used less cumin in the recipe. There was so much that it almost had a curry taste.
+My eggs were cooked perfectly! A perfect over-medium. That's difficult for a lot of restaurants to get right. Props.
=Hashbrowns were decent. Not very flavorful though...and they aren't really generous with them either. Potatoes aren't THAT expensive, and it looks better when the plates come out full.
-Corned beef hash was awful. Too many green peppers in it. That's all you tasted. Bad recipe. I wonder sometimes if the chef/cook even loves to eat when I taste a recipe that off.
+Generous with the soda. They give you an extra little container with your initial (big) cup of it -- that way you're in no danger of running out. [I personally don't drink that much, so it was wasted on me, but I appreciated the thoughtfulness.]
+Service was good. Friendly. Speedy. They even took the corned beef hash off of my bill because I really didn't like it. Very cool.
Overall, tremendous upside for Biscuits. It definitely has potential. I'll probably be back at some point, but it's not at the top of my list of things to do. Still, I wish them the best. I hope they continue to improve because Ahwatukee could use a solid diner-style breakfast spot. -

I've been there two times now. I'm a big lover of biscuits and gravy. There's are pretty good. They are very "midwest" -- meaning thick and homemade. I love the biscuits as well. If you ask for Biscuits and Gravy you will get two big biscuits split in 1/2 and covered generously with gravy. PLENTY for 2 people and I'm a big eater!
My husband really likes the place too.
We got good service, friendly and it was affordable.
I will go again, despite what a few are saying, I haven't experienced that. Maybe they are not conosuers of biscuits and gravy from "back home." But since I am...I give it 4 thumbs up! -

This is our favorite breakfast place. The food is good. They have the best biscuits & gravy of any restaurant I have eaten at. The wait staff is friendly. The only complaint I have is that Sunday mornings are packed, so there can be a wait to be seated.

New place with a lot of kinks to work out!
First off having the entrance at the far right side of the place is just wrong. I am not sure how long Biscuits has been open, but it is obvious that they are struggling with a new restaurant concept here in Ahwatukee
We were greeted promptly on the way in, and shown to a booth in the front foyer that seems like the rear of the place. The overall colors of the place were uninviting, dismal, and drab. Then things started to get interesting.
I asked if I could get just one of their "Champion Pancakes" on the side, as I did not need 2 of them. I was told that I could not, since it was different from just the regular side pancake...whatever! I would have paid for the upgrade. Nevertheless I ordered the Champion Pancakes ($8.79), just 2 pancakes with huge boat of syrup, orange wheel, and kale. My friend ordered an "Omelet" with jalapenos added in, and requested her hashbrowns extra crispy. Coffee and water were the beverages of choice.
My pancakes were awful. They were very thin, yet totally doughy and undercooked. I am not in the habit of sending things back, but since they were new I felt obligated to let them know. I changed my order to Bacon & Eggs. This was brought out in a timely manner. I told our server that he should suggest the Biscuits Breakfast option. That includes hashbrowns, biscuit, eggs, and choice of bacon, ham, or sausage. I just received bacon & eggs. Yes I know that is what I ordered, but being a fan of bacon and eggs, one usually has the option for full meal. I was charged for a side of eggs, side of bacon, and my coffee. I did receive a biscuit with my meal and it was nothing special. It tasted like a regular Bisquick recipe.
My friend received the omelet minus the hashbrowns, and was told that they were still working on making them crispy. The food should arrive together! Let it sit in the window wherever and bring it out all together. Needless to say the omelet was so so, very basic and hardly any cheese. The biscuit (The signature name of this restaurant) never arrived with the omelet! How does one forget to include their Namesake on orders?
Overall I don't think that I will be going back anytime soon. There are other places out there that are much better. For being locally owned and family run, a breakfast chain is much better. Biscuits is nothing special. -

Exactly what Ahwatukee needed. Great food and service every time I visit. The chicken fried steak and eggs with sausage gravy that barely fits on the plate is a favorite of mine for breakfast. The club and patty melt for lunch are both very good choices. The french fries are not the greatest but the onion rings are awesome!!

I went there this past weekend for the first time. It was around noon and we were seated right away. I was impressed by the amount of people in the place and the fact that while we ate they kept strolling in. Breakfast and lunch all day. I got the typical eggs, country potatoes, bacon and the biscuit that comes with the meal. Eggs were cooked as ordered, the biscuit was nice and fresh and the bacon nice and crispy. My only disapointment was the portion of country potatoes, I think there was more onion than potato. Next time I will ask if they can go easy on the onion. The place was clean and staff seemed friendly. I would defitnitley go back, I would like my husband to give it a taste.
