Where to Celebrate National Biscuit Day

You knead these biscuits today.

Listen, biscuits are basically the perfect food. Buttery, fluffy, hearty, and supremely customizable, you can enjoy them as a sweet treat warmed up with honey and butter, or savory with fried chicken, gravy, or as a sandwich. Here’s where to celebrate these fluffy rounds (or squares) of heaven on National Biscuit Day (May 14) or any day.

Rise & Shine

Rise & Shine’s biscuit offering changes daily; apricot is the biscuit of the day on May 14. Top an apricot biscuit, or their traditional biscuit, with jam or honey, cheese, egg, or a meat of your choice. In addition, Rise & Shine offers a biscuit cinnamon roll, and biscuit sandwiches like the Charlotte, a BLT with mayo, or Chapel Hill, featuring a crispy chicken patty.

Denver Biscuit Co.

There’s a reason Denver Biscuit Co. is Denver’s go-to when it comes to biscuits, and it’s not just their name. At their five metro Denver locations, they serve up generously sized biscuit sandwiches, biscuit plates, and even giant biscuit cinnamon rolls.
Pro tip: Get the Dahlia sandwich with sausage, apple butter, fried egg, and maple syrup on a biscuit french toast.

Tupelo Honey

This Union Station southern food revival draws inspiration from the Carolina mountains to bring a seasonal menu. The focus of that menu being, of course, biscuits. The Cathead Biscuits are a must, whose name comes from the notion that the biscuits are about the size of a “cat’s head.” Tupelo Honey serves them up with butter and house-made blueberry jam.

Jelly Cafe

Jelly’s donut holes steal the show most days, but their secret weapon is the dropped biscuits served at breakfast and lunch with a side of homemade seasonal jelly. Pro tip: Order a side of bacon and eggs to make the ultimate breakfast sandwich.

Olive and Finch

At both of their Uptown and Cherry Creek locations, oversized buttermilk biscuits are a side option for all of their breakfast items, and can easily be ordered at lunch or dinnertime (if there are any left!).

Bacon Social House

Touted as having the best biscuits and gravy in Denver, Bacon Social House’s three locations feature a hearty biscuit entree on both the brunch and dinner menu. Head out early for their bacon-cheddar biscuit, served up with a poached egg, sausage gravy, and crispy collards at brunch, or their Carolina-style pulled pork on a bacon cheddar biscuit.

LOW Country Kitchen

To celebrate biscuit day, LOW Country Kitchen is offering their biscuit sandwiches at happy hour prices all day long with choices like a chicken biscuit with creole aioli and hot pepper jelly, a cured ham biscuit with creole aioli, cheddar, and homemade pickles, or a 48-hour pork belly biscuit with creole aioli and homemade pickles.
