CANTON, MI — Nothing fancy, just good food with generous portions and priced affordably. That seems to be the consensus among reviewers of “Biscuits and Gravy,” a new Canton restaurant.

“Vera was our server and she was amazing. With Vera's recommendation, I ordered the Southwest Benedict and it did not disappoint!,” wrote Susan K. in an April 29 Yelp review. “Homemade chipotle hollandaise and chorizo sourced from a Mex Market in Eastern Market = SOLD! My husband got the Western omelette and he said that it was, by far, the best omelette he has had around town. (We've been everywhere, trust me.)”

As might be expected, Biscuits and Gravy’s breakfast menu is extensive. Start with the “classic” and “big” breakfasts, priced at $6 and $8, respectively.

The big breakfast is the same, but caters to meat lover, who get bacon, ham and sausage.

A variety of breakfast sandwiches, omelettes and benedicts are also served. Those with a sweet tooth will find specialty pancakes like red velvet, tiramisu and potato and for french toast lovers several reviewers said the blueberry cheesecake toast bake is killer.

All breakfast and lunch items are $10 or less. Speaking of lunch, diners will find a selection of burgers, melts, sandwiches and salads. Biscuits and Gravy always has chicken noodle soup handy as well as a soup of the day.
