Come Along As We Try Biscuit Belly in South Carolina
It was a rainy gloomy Saturday morning, and the hubs was out of town golfing. So, my recent college grad son and I decided we were up for some brunch. I remembered seeing something on my social media feed this week for a place called Biscuit Belly in Fort Mill, South Carolina. And, off we went. More About Biscuit Belly Biscuit Belly is a chain with locations in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Restaurateurs and husband and wife Chad and Lauren Coulter make up the team behind the concept. The Coulters, once upon a time, were pharmacists, according to their website. They began with a wine and tapas concept that turned out to be successful. So next, they looked to a meal they both love...brunch. And, with the expertise of executive chef Tavis Rockwell, Biscuit Belly was born. Rockwell's biscuit recipe took months to perfect. And, not only does it taste like a labor of love, it looks like one. Each biscuit at Biscuit Belly arrives in the cute shape of a heart. Or, at least this weekend they did. Maybe that was a nod to Valentine's Day. Regardless, I like the touch! Furthermore, the Coulters believe everyone from first dates to families are a part of the success. And, they enjoy seeing the joy Biscuit Belly brings everyone who walks through the doors. Their website reads, 'We view strangers as friends we haven't met yet. Our restaurants are an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome.' The Biscuit Belly Experience And Food So, let's get to the food! Biscuit Belly is a fast, casual relaxed place. You enter and grab a menu to look over before ordering at the counter. You take a seat and your food is brought to you. Of course, Biscuit Belly is 'biscuit-centric.' Lots of dishes centered around the delicious biscuit. There's everything on the menu from biscuit sandwiches loaded with buttermilk fried chicken and sausage gravy to eggs and bacon or even brisket on a biscuit. Some toppings on menu items include sweet pepper jelly and goat cheese and fried green tomatoes to avocado. Plus, there's sides and apps. I signed up for their rewards. And, as a thank you, I got the 'Bonuts.' That's yummy biscuit donut holes rolled in cinnamon sugar with a bourbon cream frosting for dipping. For my entree I ordered the Brisket Biscuit and a side of Loaded Breakfast Tots filled with bacon and cheddar and a sweet maple mayo sauce. Biscuit Belly 'Bonuts' in cinnamon sugar with a bourbon cream cheese frosting dip My son ordered the Boozy Bird, buttermilk fried chicken breast with bourbon maple syrup. And, you can add a shot of bourbon and keep the glass for an upcharge. And, of course, they offer typical coffees and breakfast cocktails including Mimosas and Bloody Mary. We really enjoyed our visit to Biscuit Belly. We'll be back, and I hope you'll give it a try too!
