Regulars flock here for the vista -- a killer view of the White Oak greenbelt, with the tips of downtown skyscrapers peeking over the trees -- but they stay for better-than-average burgers, memorable quesadilla appetizers and fine Neapolitan cheesecake.
This popular cafe's location inside a former gas station does not sound a bit appealing, but the spectacular view of the downtown skyline is worth a sunset visit on a nightly basis. Live music fans will also be impressed with the live performances that occur several nights a week. Nachos, burgers and sandwiches dominate the reasonably priced menu. A glass of the house wine is available for...

I hate eating breakfast out because it's almost always bad but not at King Biscuit. They really get it right here and the staff is very friendly. Just please, don't everyone rush there at once. I still want to be able to get a table. Good burgers and such as well.
Pros
+ Great breakfast, friendly staff
I haven't been to King Biscuit in well over a year. I went for dinner last week and to unwind after work and it was very nice. The food was average, which is fine - hot, fresh and basic.

I will be going...
