No two biscuits are alike, and everyone has their favorite, so it should come as no surprise that Atlanta has plenty of great options to choose from around town. From biscuits infused with lavender or slathered in sausage gravy to biscuit sandwiches topped with bacon and pimento cheese or cheddar, black pepper, and chives baked in, don’t skip the biscuits from these Atlanta restaurants and pop-ups.
