One of the best places to eat in College Park (technically Atlanta) is Buttermilk Biscuit, which opened a few months ago. I had originally tried it on its second day of operation, and there were only a few customers inside.
When I came back a month later, the place was pretty much packed. Its hours run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so you’d better get there early if you want a good seat.
How To Find Buttermilk Biscuit
Buttermilk Biscuit is located at 634 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337. Here’s a map to help you find it.
What I Ordered
Ok, so I’ve gone there several times. The first two times I ordered the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, which come with creamy grits, jumbo shrimp, sautéed spinach, peppers and onions, cherry tomatoes, award winning Cajun cream sauce.
After that, I ordered my go-to: The Early Bird, which is four crispy chicken wings, served with our famous waffles, powdered sugar, and maple butter.
You also have the choice of different butters for a 50 cent upcharge: Blueberry Butter, Strawberry Butter, Maple Butter and Peach Butter.
The waffles, which have just the right crunchiness on the ends, but are soft in the middle, come sprinkled with confection sugar, which I love. The chicken wings are sizeable and are seasoned in the Southern tradition. The meal may look like small to some, but you’ll be full when you finish. At least, I was.
The customer service was still trying to settle down after opening recently, but the to-go orders are fast and accurate. You have to order on the Toast app to get your food, which is an efficient process.
Overall, Buttermilk Biscuit Gets an A
An A Grade, means it’s worth your while and I would say Buttermilk Biscuit makes the grade with ease.
Final Word
