The Big Biscuit — Restaurant in Springfield

Short version: Service was friendly and helpful without being over bearing. Atmosphere was nice, not super fancy, but clean and bright. Food was hot and fresh, great taste. The big biscuit was the best restaurant biscuit I've had.

Long version: There was outdoor seating available near the front door which had an appealing sign that felt like an updated modern diner design and feel. Upon entering there are long booth style benches with tables along them with chairs on the opposite side of the tables. Allows for large or small parties and to choose your type of seat. The restaurant was very clean which is always a very important plus. We were greeted immediately and shown to our seats right away. Our server took our drink order and left. I noticed that while there were other diners, the room was not loud, no overbearing music to shout over, couldn't hear kitchen noise, it was pleasant and brightly lit from the large front window and the interior lights. Our server brought our drinks quickly which were good, but coffee can be so subjective that I'll say the latte and mocha we ordered had a weak coffee taste, more chocolate milk with a coffee undertone. People who love really strong, dark coffee would probably be wise to try ordering something else. We ordered our food and it was not a long wait, quicker than expected, but everything looked fresh, it was hot and everyone was very happy with their order. Some people think breakfast is simple, but this was excellent. My wife said her waffle was so good it didn't need syrup and she always uses syrup. I ordered The Haymaker, fries, breaded chicken, covered in cheddar cheese and sausage gravy with a big biscuit. It was amazing. The fries were crispy and held up well to the gravy, the chicken was tender and juicy. The biscuit was the perfect texture of crispness on the outside and fluffy on the inside. No one in our group had any complaints about any aspect of our visit. Definitely a place I will revisit and encourage...

If you're looking for a place where comfort food meets culinary delight, The Big Biscuit is the answer. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the smell of sizzling breakfast goodness in the air.

Let’s talk about the food—because that’s where The Big Biscuit truly shines. The Eggs Benedict are a standout. Perfectly poached eggs rest atop hearty slices of ham and toasted English muffins, all smothered in a velvety hollandaise sauce that’s rich without being overpowering. It’s indulgence done right.

Then there’s the French Toast—a dish that feels like a warm hug. Thick slices of bread are soaked just right, grilled to golden perfection, and topped with powdered sugar and syrup. It’s both crispy and fluffy, sweet but balanced.

And of course, the biscuits—they’re not just in the name for nothing. These buttery, flaky, oversized wonders are practically a meal on their own. Whether you get them with gravy or on the side of your plate, they’re soft, satisfying, and unforgettable.

Every plate feels generous, fresh, and made with love. The Big Biscuit delivers a breakfast experience that’s not only filling but heartwarming. A true gem for breakfast lovers—you'll walk away full and...

Honestly, I have never left a terrible review. But for 2 people who spent $55.00 on a hostess that let us stand there for 15 minutes after acknowledging us and only 4 tables being used. The person behind the counter in the back finally came and sat us and he was nice and apologized for what she did. (He pointed it out) Or server comes over and she was the only reason we made a big mistake and stayed she was very nice. The food, this is not a first time customer from the day they opened we frequent when we drive to town. Never, in 51 years of life have I ever walked to the restroom and got ill from the food I just sat down with. The taste of the food was stick on the roof of our mouth and tongues. We should have stopped visiting and actually looked at our food. The gravy was gray and so watery it could have been from a dirty cup with some floaties. The eggs we can't figure out but is ultimately the only thing we both ate and we both got sick. I didn't touch the "chicken fried steak" and my husband just ate the biscuit dry, It was nicely edible. When I tried leaving the review on the diad it was locked up so hopefully my card doesn't get charged more than the outrageous price they...
