The restaurant, housed in an old auto shop on East Point’s Main Street, is spread out over 2,200-square feet and will feature pink an and green- colored decor that is lady-like and yet risqué.
“The brand is fun and interesting—a little suggestive,” Roy told the publication. “The goal is to be sexy but not rachet.”
Speaking to Atlanta Magazine, Roy said Atlanta has been an aspirational place for her since she was a teenager.
“I’ve wanted to be in Atlanta since I was 19,” she continues. “I felt like there were a lot of people like me here: Black, professional, with goals, and doing well. It looked like a Black mecca,” she told the magazine.

At Eat My Biscuits, the menu, which was created by Roy with the help of culinary brothers chef Zerrod Wilks and Zerrick-Rafael Solec will feature fluffy, fried biscuits in an assortment of flavors including strawberry shortcake, blueberry and some varieties sprinkled with confection sugar.
And yes, you can have a drink there as well. The beverage program at Eat My Biscuits will feature a full-service bar with traditional cocktails and martinis.
The provocative logo, which features biscuits in the shape of a woman’s bottom, intentionally pushes the envelope, Roy said.
“So being a Black woman, it’s that two strike rule, so I want Eat My Biscuits to feel feminine, but not overdone. Although certain elements will be girly, men will want to come for the women and biscuits. I really want to create a vibe,” she told WhatNowAtlanta.
