The Big Biscuit

The Big Biscuit is an All-American breakfast and lunch restaurant that opened in Independence, Missouri, in 2000 and now has locations across several states. Its menu leans on classics like biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict and plate-sized buttermilk pancakes, with churro waffles, seasonal pumpkin pancakes and breakfast sandwiches built on buttermilk biscuits or brioche buns.

This Topeka location is one of the chain's Kansas restaurants, and portions are generous. Guests can order online or place catering orders, and private dining rooms are available for groups. Gift cards are sold. Staff work daytime hours only, so the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch in the morning and early afternoon.
