Caution: Five Pound Flying Bicuits Now in South Charlotte!

July 3rd, 2008 categories: Charlotte Lifestyle, Fun for Kids

OK the biscuits are only 3 lbs of deliciousity! Know one thing I love about living in South Charlotte — that it’s still small enough and hip enough that you can grab a great meal and sneak in a movie on a weeknight! Not that you can’t do this in other cities but there is just something unique about living in the SouthPark / Ballantyne area. The tranquility of the suburbs with all the urban amenities and feel.

So Rhonda and I went to the new Charlotte location of an old favorite for a quick dinner ~ the Flying Biscuit. (there is just no way these biscuits could even get off the ground let alone fly! ~ they must weigh 5 pounds each! ~ and they are fantabulous!) Our food was excellent. Me: the Cheddar & Bacon Turkey Burger… (really good but not as healthy as advertised I am afraid — especially when teamed with two ice cold Stellas!) Rhonda: the Coca-Cola Glazed Salmon..(very good and healthy of course, its Rhonda after all)

So here’s the take — the food and service is very good — we are probably a bit jaded as the Ballantyne location at Stonecrest Shopping Center can’t compete with the funkiness of the original Candler Park atmosphere. But it is a GO, especially for breakfast/brunch. It will be crowded. Read a review and interview with the general manager Luscious Wilson (you can’t make that up!) here at Connect With Charlotte.com. When you go (and you should) try the non-stop breakfast (any time of day) And Don’t miss: the (signature) pudge, moon-dusted potatoes and of course one (or two) of those five pound biscuits. Let us know what you think!

Oh and what movie did we see?…Wall-E and it was fantastic! Watch the trailer here.
