It’s only natural that our list of best biscuits and gravy is heavy on the bakery side. It’s a well-deserved nod to the foundation of this savory, comforting, hangover-healing dish. Titanic biscuits of flaky buttermilk perfection, smothered in a thick emulsion of everything a cardiologist recommends against. The journey north for biscuits and gravy has translated well for Twin Cities restaurants. Here are our favorites places to indulge in the dynamic down-south duo.

12 Restaurants to Feed Your Biscuits and Gravy Addiction
View as Map
Colossal Cafe
Colossal Cafe offers a little slice of southern heaven with buttery, flaky, herbaceous, meaty, soul-reviving deliciousness. Drop biscuits are homemade and lightly toasted on the grill. The bison-pork gravy is worth ordering on its own. It's all topped with eggs any way you like them.

Groundswell
Light-filled friendly neighborhood staple meets bacon in a biscuit. B & G at Groundswell involves a house-made rosemary-bacon-gruyere biscuit topped with southern-style gravy (a must) and bacon slices (a luxury). Imagine flaky, buttery perfection laced with Gruyere and topped with impossibly creamy sausage gravy.

Walk into Sunstreet and take your time in line to swoon over the space. Open bakery to your left where you can watch the magic happen.

Swing for the fences, and get an extra side of gravy while you're at it.

The Buttered Tin
Crunchy-crusted monoliths of thyme-infused buttermilk rise like steamy mountains from beneath a deep-in-color yet light-in-texture, flavorful gravy with a hint of sweetness. A welcome departure from the country-style smothering, this sausage-studded roux lets the giant, housemade biscuits shine. Finished with a refreshing garnish of pickled onions, Buttered Tin's biscuits and gravy is filling, but not so heavy as to induce a post-breakfast coma.

The French Hen Cafe
Flaky. Buttery. Laced with fresh chives and cheddar cheese.

A generous plateful of crispy hash browns and delightfully fluffy eggs are the perfect accompaniment to this southern masterpiece.

The Harriet Brasserie
Robust earthy aromas of hen-of-the-woods mushroom bloom from atop soft, almost cake-like scones. Crispy parsnips and microgreens add freshness and depth. Harriet Brasserie's biscuits and gravy are sublime in both presentation and flavor, rounded out with a pillowy soft-poached egg for a brunch that makes you weak at the knees.

Warm, mushroomy gravy meets umami-heavy biscuits and a funky restaurant scene dutifully supervised by a wooden tiki god.

Come for the biscuits and gravy. Stay for the people watching.
