Plano, Texas -- The Biscuit Bar promises big, buttery comfort with a bold motto: “Everything Is Better On A Biscuit.” I stopped by the Plano location to see if the food lives up to the hype—and if biscuits really can make everything better. Spoiler: some bites delivered, others missed, but the biscuit itself? Absolutely worth the visit.
Restaurant Review: The Biscuit Bar – Plano, TX
Motto: Everything Is Better On A Biscuit
This Biscuit Bar is located at 5880 State Hwy 121 #102b, Plano, TX 75024 at The Boardwalk at Granite Park, nestled among a row of other eateries & bars with outdoor seating on a waterside boardwalk. On weekends, the area comes alive with vendors and pop-ups, making it a fun spot to stroll, snack, and people-watch. The restaurant has forward-facing outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying your biscuit with a side of sunshine.
But let’s talk about the motto for a second:
“Everything Is Better On A Biscuit.”
A bold claim. Is everything really better on a biscuit? Maybe not everything—but here, the biscuit is definitely pulling most of the weight. At times, it felt like the toppings were trying too hard to live up to the biscuit, and not the other way around. So no, not everything is better on a biscuit... but a lot of things sure are.
Tried:
The Philly: Seasoned ribeye, grilled peppers and onions, Monterey Jack, Sriracha
Buffalo Blue Chicken: Southern-fried chicken, buffalo sauce, bleu cheese coleslaw
Hot Hot Chicken: Southern-fried Nashville-style hot chicken, dill pickles, house-made ranch
French Toast Biscuit
The Good:
The biscuits are the MVP—buttery, with a nice crisp crust and enough heft to hold up to whatever you pile on.
The fried chicken on the Hot Hot Chicken was hands-down the best part of the meal—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly crisp.
The French Toast Biscuit was the real standout—sweet, rich, and packed with flavor. Easily the most memorable bite of the day.
The Not-So-Good:
The fillings didn’t always live up to the biscuit and felt underwhelming flavor-wise. Overall, the combos seemed like they were trying too hard to be clever but didn’t quite deliver on taste. A few bites left me wishing they’d just let the biscuit shine without all the noise.
The Philly sounded promising, but I was hoping for big, bold flavor—it ended up just... fine. A little confused, a little flat.
Buffalo Blue Chicken—southern-fried chicken with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese coleslaw—sounded like a flavor bomb, but it fell flat. The tang and heat you’d expect just didn’t show up, and the whole thing felt muted.
It wasn’t busy when we went—we were the only ones there. Granted, it was 4:30 PM on Easter Sunday, but the whole area itself was still crowded. The calm might appeal to some, but inside, it lacked the energy and buzz you’d expect from a spot in such a lively location.
Final Take:
It’s a fun, niche concept with a biscuit that truly shines. I’d recommend everyone stop by —especially for the breakfast-style options or that French toast biscuit. If you're going, stick to the biscuit basics. That’s where they really shine.
