![]() ![]() Let’s not forget The Firebird, a recent addition to the expansive menu. The pepper jelly has a flavor reminiscent of an Asian sweet and sour sauce, but instead it is fully Southern. The goat cheese has a thin tender crust with an oozing center that is tangy, the perfect juxtaposition to the sweetness of the pepper jelly. Sandwiched between the extra buttery biscuit is that out-of-this-world fried chicken (that’s right more fried chicken), seasoned, battered, and fried goat cheese, and an extra large dose of pepper jelly. This creation is like nothing I, or you, have ever tasted. The Squawking Goat was “featured on Food Network’s Food Paradise,” says Christina. Although the pecanwood smoked bacon costs a bit more than the average stuff, the restaurants opts for it because it tastes so much better. Lastly, your tastebuds will detect a slight hint of maple, you can thank the bacon for that. As for the white gravy, it has a slight pink hue from all of the herbs and spices which adds quite a kick to your tongue. The chicken is juicy, delicate, and so well seasoned that it stands up to everything else on the dish. Piled high atop that is a warm melted slice of sharp cheddar cheese, and thick slices of pecanwood smoked bacon.īefore placing the top of the biscuit on, the chef adds a rich and tender fried egg, then a ladle-sized scoop of sinful homemade sausage gravy that tastes just like the kind every Southern grandmother make. Balancing on top of a thick biscuit bottom sits a well-endowed filet of chicken that is generously seasoned, breaded, and fried. Why, you ask?Īll you have to do is take a gander at the color of the flaky delicate bread to see that there is so much butter jammed in that the biscuit has a slight yellow tint, and every good Southerner knows that butter makes everything better.Īccording to Christina, “the Five and Dime is one of our most popular items.”įor good reason, because this plate-full even comes with the kitchen sink. ![]() Regardless of your decision, you will be pleased with the flavor of the biscuit alone, even without trying anything else. But if need be, you can come back the next day to try a completely different Southern pastry. When it comes to Maple Street’s food, I have to warn you, you are going to have a very difficult time deciding which biscuit to devour. Our neighbors to the south were lucky when the franchise opened its first location just a short six years ago in San Marco, Florida. Maple Street opened in the Port City this March because they wanted “to be a part of the beautiful Savannah community and graciously serve as many people as we can,” Christina explains. With 21 different locations, Savannah’s Maple Street Biscuit Company is not the restaurant’s first storefront. The staff does not stop with serving biscuits so large your plan of attack has to include a fork and knife, but they are also cranking out “400-600 biscuits a day,” Christina Cocita, Community Leader of the Savannah store, tells me. But a word does not exist to fully describe the gigantic-sized biscuits offered at Maple Street Biscuit Company. They explained any questions we had and were attentive to any requests we made.A TRUE Southerner knows what it means when a restaurant offers a catfish head biscuit. Everyone there could not have been nicer and more friendly with us. Normally, the food is enough to bring me in, but even if it were just average when I say the staff were some of the most friendly, welcoming people I've interacted with in awhile, it would be an understatement! For a place offering counter service, I've never had such a pleasant experience. All three items were excellent and came out in a timely fashion. My party ordered The Farmer biscuit, waffles, and The Risky Biscuit (with the shiitake mushroom gravy). For those with varied palates, they even offer several vegetarian friendly options that don't lack in flavor whatsoever. The chicken biscuits are delicious (not dry at all) and well seasoned. AMAZING coffee and the value and portions were extremely generous. This could not have been a better experience! This was my first time back since the change from Hollar and Dash and I was blown away. ![]()
