Our State Magazine featured SBK in the article: Back to Classics! 🌞
(Article Written by DEBBIE MOOSE)
"Fried chicken biscuits have become a classic, and nobody does them like Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in Chapel Hill. No matter how old you are, you can order a Bad Grampa: a fried boneless chicken breast on a biscuit, topped with an egg, cheese, and bacon, and served with hash browns and sweet tea. If you move away, don’t fret — they do mail orders for those who miss their drive-through biscuit fix."

Eat Your Way From A to Z With 100 Local Dishes You Can Have Right Now

Ryan Haar wrote: “Butter and jam? Sausage or ham? Traditional biscuit toppings are put to shame by Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen’s Bad Grampa. Why choose between a bacon, egg, and cheese or a chicken biscuit in the morning when you can have both? You can’t count yourself a Southern-breakfast expert until you’ve tried this delicious combo. Sunrise fries its juicy chicken fresh every morning. The chicken is stacked between warm eggs, crispy bacon, and then smothered in gooey cheddar cheese. These layers are then tucked between fluffy homemade biscuits. Add a side of hash browns, and that’s what we call a real breakfast.”

The Best Restaurants of Chapel Hill!
Linda Nguyen (Author of Girl Eats World Blog) featured Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in her Recent Delicious Post: The Best Restaurants of Chapel Hill!
"When in the South, you must partake in the chicken biscuit sandwich. Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen, an unassuming drive-thru establishment opened only for breakfast and lunch, has become somewhat of an institution for the chicken biscuit sandwich. The first time I visited, I decided to order my chicken biscuit with added pimento cheese to give it another layer of Southern charm, and because I’m a glutton, I ordered a hash brown and slipped it into my sandwich. It’s one of my favorite life hacks. Adding hash browns to my sandwiches. Pictured above is the famed Bad Grandpa Chicken Biscuit with an added hash brown."

David Sanders from Roadfood.com featured Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in his article: August 2018 Carolinas and Georgia Trip.
"...My first stop every morning that I’m in Chapel Hill is Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen. While I can’t say that these are the absolutely best biscuits I’ve ever had, they certainly are in the top two or three. They’re just wonderful. I often get a bacon biscuit, but today I decided on a plain (butter) biscuit. Melt in your mouth, buttery, soft, chewy, the top iscrunchy, it’s just great..."

Cole Whitaker wrote an article about Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen: ORDER BISCUITS THE WAY MICHAEL JORDAN ORDERED BISCUITS!
Biscuits in North Carolina!
"The paper bag is tantalizingly weighty as I scoot out the door and flicker in and out of the line of morning headlights. In a puff of steam, I pull out the first tender biscuit, a study in delicious contrasts; light crisp of crust revealing soft flaky dough, a hint of sweetness meeting the salty bite of sausage—simplicity and decadence all in one.
Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen has been serving professors and farmers, southerners and northerners what they rightly call “Bigger Better Biscuits” for nearly 40 years. The kitchen is a shoe-box-sized drive-thru at the bottom of the hill leading to the white-columned campus of UNC Chapel Hill. The menu isn’t long, but it offers more than you might expect—even an incongruous low-carb option—and the orders are rattled off in rapid-fire displays of familiarity.
Don’t make the mistake of looking too far down the menu; everything you need to see is right there at the top, and has been since the beginning. Biscuits plain, or with jam, sausage, or fried chicken can fill you up for little more than pocket change.
Despite the efficient art of the biscuit-builders in the kitchen, the line still gets long, but those in the know, like Michael Jordan in his college days, get out, weave through the cars in the drive-thru, and slide in the door to the kitchen where there’s just enough room to place an order. The room is glowing and glorious, bustling with southern mamas buttering trays of biscuits and men with tattoos that hint they haven’t always spent their mornings folding flaky layers into the dough. Flour floats in the warm air and the scent of rising dough is nearly intoxicating. Before you know it, there’s a full bag in hand and you’re out the door.
The owner’s grandmother ironed out the recipe for these biscuits when she was putting food on the table for her 17 children. Like toast or oatmeal, the biscuit was a humble staple of breakfast tables across the south. Cheap and filling, simple yet sublimely satisfying, requiring minimal ingredients yet demanding a touch of magic, biscuits were an industrious and indulgent way to fill stomachs—and still are.
Among artisanal doughnut shops, avocado toast brunches, and even biscuits dolled up with the latest superfood or meat substitute, Sunrise is a holdout of the Southern style, when hearty excellence and thriftiness were natural companions.
I pull out my biscuit, plain, and revel in all that is wrapped up in this simple package. Taking a bite, I remember one of the men in the kitchen telling me that the same woman who created this recipe lived to be nearly 100. I pray that the biscuits were her secret to longevity and I’m doing my best to get my daily dose."
