Our wait was much shorter than their forecast, and it’s now on our list for a return visit if we find ourselves in KC again anytime soon. Oh, and did I mention the Sticky Biscuit? It’s one of their biscuits loaded with raisins, cranberries and pecans. ![]() They offer four kinds of Benedicts, including one made with their special chicken fried steak they leave a pot of really good coffee at the table, and the portions are enough so that most people left with boxes. The Cranberry Candied Pecan Oatmeal is dressed up with more than the usual extras and was great, or you can get the New Orleans Oatmeal with banana, candied pecans, salted caramel, and cinnamon. The flavor of everything was way above normal, though. The biscuits & gravy was good, with a little more sausage than normal at a restaurant (still, not enough). More traditional options, such as bacon and sausage, were also available. Called a Scram-Bowl, it was three eggs with grilled steak, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, onions, and two kinds of cheese.

The reviews I saw were uniformly good-even taking reviews with a heavy grain of salt, they are a way to start narrowing down your restaurant options. We were in Kansas City for an event, and I wasn’t sure anymore if we were in Kansas or Missouri. And that, my friends, is how I found The Big Biscuit. My own resource is to simply search for “food open nearby.” This gives me a pretty reliable list of restaurants, and it’s easy work to scroll through and electronically check out the ones of interest. Thankfully we have the technology to fill the gaps. Hard to imagine for those who love food, but it happens. Problem is, in today’s economy, half of them won’t be local and the other half may not be interested in discovering hidden food gems. “Comfort food evokes a sense of happiness, and guests can’t get enough of The Big Biscuit’s fried chicken and French toast, so we thought - why not combine the two?
