    About

    Brothers John and Jim Dickey opened the first Biscuitville location in Danville, Kentucky, during 1966. The founders established the restaurant with a specific focus on fresh biscuits made daily from flour, buttermilk, and shortening rather than frozen or pre-mixed ingredients. This commitment to traditional preparation methods defined the brand early on and remains its core identity today.

    The company expanded beyond its original home state over the following decades to become a significant regional chain. Operations now span more than 80 locations concentrated in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Greensboro, North Carolina, serves as the primary hub for the business, though the corporate roots remain distinctly Kentuckian.

    In September 2026, the chain achieved national recognition by winning USA TODAY's 10Best award for America's Best Fast-Food Breakfast. This accolade placed Biscuitville ahead of major competitors like McDonald's and Chick-fil-A despite having a much smaller geographic footprint. The win highlighted the brand's ability to compete with global giants through consistent quality and local sourcing.
