Biscuits & Gravy - Nothing like Grandma’s cooking

Biscuits & Gravy Neighborhood Kitchen celebrated their first anniversary and would like to thank their customers, especially our Winter Texans, for helping them make it a successful year. If you haven’t been there yet, you will want to try to hurry over early and often this season.

After talking with the owners and hearing feedback from our readers, my husband and I were more than ready to visit Biscuits & Gravy Neighborhood Kitchen. We were more than pleased with our visit and meals as they exceeded all expectations.

While waiting for our meals to arrive, we were each given a sample of their signature dish – biscuits and gravy. It was exactly like grandmother used to make – or dare I say, even better.

Something we both noticed was the toasted biscuit. Not overdone or too crisp, but as we talked to each other about it, and to Manager Ryan Martinez, it made complete sense. They toast the biscuits for just a minute which helps it hold up without soaking up too much gravy, keeping its structure from first bite to the last, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of the gravy and the biscuit. This little touch really enhanced this classic dish.

They’re going all spicy this summer. There’s their spicy chicken sandwich with an option of grilled or fried chicken served on Texas toast with lettuce, tomato, and onion, served with fries. Jr.’s Breakfast sandwich topped off with ranchero sauce, scrambled egg, sausage patty, slice of tomato, and cheese on a hamburger bun, served with hashbrowns. Also, Ryan’s Messy Hashbrowns – hashbrowns with bell peppers, cheese, bacon bits, grilled onion, topped with two eggs. And there is new merchandise such as shirts, mugs, and baby onesies that make great gifts.

You could tell they have a good grill in their kitchen – and a great cook. Everything tastes like good southern home cooking. To me, it was reminiscent of being back on my grandparents’ farm eating a good, hearty country meal.

It’s a place I will be going back to again – even if it’s just for biscuits and gravy.
