One of our sons said "Those biscuits are made with LOVE!". They also know how to make true Southern sweet tea! Cajun and home style (less spicy) fried chicken options, with Southern style vegetables, mac and cheese, and fries are menu favorites. There is nothing like a Bojangles biscuit (with steak, or sausage, or egg, or cheese, or combinations of these) for breakfast . . . or snack.
