The biscuits themselves have a perfect balance - they are flaky and fluffy and buttery and melt in your mouth, but at the same time, they're sizable and solid enough to support a delicious slab of meat/egg/filling of your choice without crumbling everywhere.Ĥ. You can add egg and cheese (outstanding). You can add cheese (exceptional) (it's a slice of cheddar). Plus, you get to see and smell the kitchen in all its glory.ģ. The inside is tiny and they only allow a few people in at once, but it's almost always quicker regardless. Sometimes the drive thru line gets really backed up, so I recommend parking. You have two options to order - you can either go through the drive-thru, or park and walk in. Here are my tips.ġ (most important): Please don't call it a "biscuit sandwich." It's a biscuit.Ģ. Sunrise is a Chapel Hill institution and probably nothing will ever make me feel more home than sitting in the car washing down a chicken biscuit with their ice-cold shockingly sweet tea on a hot NC morning.Īnyway, I'm sure y'all don't want to hear any more reminiscing. Or the time my husband got 2 biscuits the size of your face and ate them both in one sitting. Or the time we ordered the kale sandwich with sprouts (yes, it's on the menu and please don't order it). Or the time we came here hungover on New Year's Day and had to pull the car over on the way home for my sister to puke in the yard of one of those super fancy houses on E. and feasted on a chicken biscuit before leaving the country for a year. The prices for everything else (especially my plain biscuit, a price I've paid for a much smaller biscuit elsewhere) were reasonable in my book.It's hard to even review this place because it's figured in so many of my best memories. The price of the chicken biscuit was more than half that, which I thought was a little high, but at least it was a sizable biscuit and not "all biscuit". For the chicken biscuit, a plain one, a bottled water and a coke, we paid around $8. I sampled a tiny bite of the chicken and it seemed quite good, well seasoned. My daughter got the chicken biscuit and loved it. This review is for the only other location which is situated in a small freestanding building in Chapel Hill, north of UNCs campus. The original restaurant opened in 1977-78 in Louisburg, northeast of Raleigh. I thought it was a little bit tough or 'overdone' but still had a great taste and I'd be glad to have more to taste test. I found Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen thanks to Yelp, but this restaurant has been around decades before Yelp even existed. I was not feeling well and only ordered a plain biscuit. Besides, my grandma was not there making her homemade biscuits so I already knew it was not going to be the best biscuit in the world. (This was around 9:30 on a Saturday morning, for reference.) But how was the food, you ask? We both give it a thumbs up, though I admit I am easy to please when it comes to biscuits. My daughter found the small building charming and we were both impressed at how quickly we got through the drive thru line despite being behind 7 other cars. My teenage daughter and I had to try this spot when in town for a recent college visit.
