Buttermilk Biscuit

Neighborhood vibes, good service, and solid food make Buttermilk Biscuit in College Park an easy-going stop if you're looking for a casual breakfast and lunch spot on the otherwise sceney College Park strip. Here, people still read papers over coffee while friend groups supply the soundtrack of chatter and snap selfies over old-school buttermilk pancakes with crispy edges. The friendly, small-town atmosphere also means talkative types won't have trouble finding a sounding board at the bar, but you can also head to the patio to sit back with your strong vodka and cucumber cocktail and watch the comings and goings. While the biscuits are so-so, their crispy battered fried chicken makes the chicken biscuit a worthy order. We also like the donut bites—they’re like little balled-up beignets, sweet and moist.
