For the fourth consecutive year, Biscuitville has been crowned the nation’s top fast‑food breakfast chain in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The Southern‑style brand, which currently operates 90 locations across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, edged out industry heavyweights such as McDonald’s (No. 4) and Chick‑fil‑A (No. 5).
Local roots, national recognition
Kristie Mitchell, Biscuitville’s chief marketing officer, said the honor is especially meaningful given the intense competition in the breakfast segment. “We have earned it, but we don’t want to live in a space where we come to expect it,” Mitchell explained.
The chain’s signature offering is its scratch‑made biscuits, baked fresh every 15 minutes from a three‑ingredient family recipe passed down from the founder’s grandmother. Mitchell emphasized that Biscuitville’s kitchens contain no microwaves or instant‑heat equipment, and that eggs are hand‑cracked and cooked from scratch. While this approach demands more labor, the company believes it resonates with customers seeking authentic, home‑style meals.
Customer praise and celebrity nod
“We get comments all the time from our feedback line that says, ‘Your biscuit tastes just like my grandmother’s biscuit,’” Mitchell said. Celebrity chef Jason Smith, a contestant on Fox’s upcoming cooking competition, agreed that Biscuitville’s biscuits rank among the nation’s best, noting the buttery flavor as the key to a perfect Southern biscuit.
Smith did name another regional chain, Tudor’s Biscuit World, as his personal favorite, but he praised Biscuitville’s “tender and super soft” biscuits and highlighted the Ultimate Country Ham Biscuit as a standout menu item.
Growth plans
Having recently opened its 90th restaurant, Biscuitville plans to continue expanding within its existing markets for the next several years, with future aspirations to enter neighboring states such as Tennessee and Georgia. The company’s steady growth underscores the appeal of a business model that prioritizes quality, tradition, and a family‑friendly dining experience.
Four straight years of top‑ranking results suggest that a growing number of Americans appreciate Biscuitville’s commitment to fresh, handcrafted breakfast fare.
