Biscuit Belly - Huntsville

Biscuit Belly has built a devoted following across the South by doing one thing extraordinarily well: the biscuit. Giant, fluffy, scratch-made Southern biscuits loaded with creative combinations of eggs, meats, and cheeses make up the core of the menu, and in Huntsville, the concept has landed exactly as well as you'd expect in Alabama.

For families visiting Huntsville, a Biscuit Belly breakfast is genuinely worth planning around. Kids who are lukewarm about breakfast at home will enthusiastically eat an enormous biscuit sandwich — there's something about the size and novelty of these things that appeals to kids immediately. Parents, meanwhile, can work through a menu that goes well beyond basic egg-and-cheese combinations.

Portions are large — genuinely large, not 'restaurant large.' Younger kids can easily split a sandwich with a parent, which helps manage both the portion and the cost. Kids' options are also available for the pickiest eaters who want something simpler.

The wait on weekend mornings is the main drawback. Biscuit Belly has the kind of word-of-mouth that generates real lines, and weekend brunch crowds are significant. Arriving before 9am gives you a good shot at minimal waiting. Weekday mornings are dramatically easier and are the right call if your schedule allows. The wait, when it happens, is worth it — these are genuinely excellent biscuits.
