Bubba’s Biscuit

Everything here is made from scratch, which is proven by the taste and freshness. Every weekend you can find a different sweet biscuit for sale that is super buttery and crumbly. The New Yorker and the Bos are probably head-to-head in favorites, but the shrimp and grits are close behind. You can also wash down these biscuits with an array of homemade mimosas.
