There’s something sacred about a good biscuit. Flaky layers, warm buttery pockets, and just enough heft to hold your breakfast together without falling apart like your 7 a.m. motivation.
I’ve tried biscuit sandwiches across the country, often in a drive-thru haze, and let me tell you—some are glorious golden miracles. Others feel like you’ve just eaten a hockey puck in a paper wrapper.
Let’s celebrate the champions and call out the crumblers.
1. Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit
Golden, buttery, and firm enough to keep the chicken in place without crumbling mid-bite. The biscuit tastes homemade in a way that’s suspicious for a fast food chain.
That fried chicken filet is juicy and crisp, not soggy or sad. Add a drizzle of honey and it becomes breakfast royalty.
2. Bojangles’ Cajun Filet Biscuit
It’s not just a biscuit—it’s a spicy, flaky freight train of flavor. The filet is seasoned with actual Cajun heat, not just a marketing whisper.
The biscuit itself is hefty without being dry, and it soaks up sauce like it was born to do it. You don’t walk away from this one hungry.
3. Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
Served in the magical twilight zone known as “late night breakfast hours,” this biscuit is soft, sweet, and a little sticky in the best way.
That honey butter glaze clings to the fried chicken like a sugary hug. It’s a little messy but absolutely worth the napkin count.
4. Hardee’s Sausage And Egg Biscuit
Surprisingly fluffy and layered with just enough salt from the sausage. The biscuit edges get a little crisp, which adds texture without turning into granite.
Paired with a well-cooked egg, it’s dependable and satisfying. Nothing fancy—just the biscuit you want when you’re still half asleep.
5. Wendy’s Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
Buttery without being greasy, and just crumbly enough to feel real. Wendy’s somehow found the sweet spot between fast food and diner-style biscuit.
The bacon is crispy and generous, and the egg doesn’t taste like a microwave mistake. Solid from top to bottom.
6. McDonald’s Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
McD’s may be better known for McMuffins, but don’t sleep on the biscuit. The bacon has a smoky punch, and the biscuit is rich with a slightly salty finish.
When it’s fresh, the layers are delicate and warm. Add a hash brown on the side and you’re golden.
7. Jack In The Box Sausage Biscuit
The biscuit has a soft, pillowy texture that doesn’t collapse under the sausage weight. It’s on the smaller side, but the flavor makes up for it.
Great ratio of meat to bread. Toss in a hot coffee and you’ve got a mini morning win.
8. Biscuitville Country Ham Biscuit
This one feels personal—like someone’s grandma made it while humming an old song. The biscuit is scratch-made daily, and you can taste that.
Salty ham, buttery layers, and zero regrets. If you find a Biscuitville, cancel your other breakfast plans.
9. Carl’s Jr. Steak And Egg Biscuit
Juicy, tender steak in a biscuit sandwich isn’t common, but here it actually works. The biscuit is hefty enough to support it without turning dense.
The egg adds richness, and the seasoning pulls the whole thing together. Extra napkins recommended.
10. Burger King Sausage Biscuit
Dry, dense, and oddly chewy around the edges. The biscuit feels like it’s been waiting under a heat lamp since sunrise.
Sausage flavor is bland, with none of the spiced kick you’d hope for. Save your appetite for their croissan’wich instead.
11. Dunkin’ Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
Somehow manages to be both dry and greasy at the same time. The biscuit crumbles in strange places and turns gummy where the egg sits.
Bacon’s fine, but the texture makes everything feel like it was microwaved 20 minutes too long. Get the bagel sandwich instead.
12. Arby’s Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
The biscuit looks promising but falls apart with one bite. Bacon is thin and forgettable, and the egg is more rubber than real.
You’d expect better from the place that has “the meats.” Breakfast is clearly not their strong suit.
13. Subway Egg And Cheese Biscuit
Surprise: Subway makes a biscuit. Shock: it’s not great. The biscuit feels like soft bread trying to cosplay as something flaky. Filling is minimal and the flavor is flat.
Stick to sandwiches that come with footlongs and skip this experiment.
14. Sonic Sausage Biscuit
Biscuit texture swings from undercooked to cardboard depending on the day. Sausage patty is passable, but nothing stands out.
Feels like an afterthought on a menu built around tots and milkshakes. Probably okay in a pinch—but only if you’re already at the window.
15. Starbucks Chicken, Maple Butter & Egg Biscuit
Sounds amazing on paper. The biscuit, however, is dense and dry, and the maple butter leans weirdly artificial. Chicken is decent but not enough to save the whole thing.
You’ll wish you ordered a pastry instead.
16. Del Taco Egg And Cheese Biscuit
More fast-food tortilla than biscuit brand, which might explain the confusion here.
Texture is off, flavor is bland, and the whole thing feels like it came out of a freezer bag. If you’re at Del Taco, go for tacos.
17. Rally’s Bacon Biscuit
The bacon has decent flavor, but the biscuit tastes suspiciously like a prepackaged dinner roll. No flake, no fluff—just dense bread with a few strips of meat.
Not offensive, but also not worth your time unless it’s free.
