Philadelphia, PA - Everyone loves a good breakfast sandwich. But there's something special about a breakfast piled on a biscuit. The way they soak up egg yolk or sausage gravy (or just tons of butter).
Where to Get a Biscuit Sandwich in Philadelphia
The way a good biscuit really needs no accompaniment, but of course, it gets more exciting when piled high. And, of course, the way a good biscuit pairs perfectly with so many breakfasty foods we love: eggs and bacon and sausage and country ham.
Listed below are just a few Philly restaurants serving up great biscuit sandwiches:
Fork Restaurant
