Quick info
About Maple Street Biscuit Company
Maple Street Biscuit Company is a walk-in cafe on 18th St S in Homewood serving biscuit sandwiches and Southern sides for breakfast and lunch. Orders go in at a front window, with a separate pick-up window where staff call out the order once it's ready. Ahead of that call, the counter asks each customer what they're grateful for. The menu runs through recurring items like the Five & Dime, Sticky Maple, Squawking Goat, and the farmer chicken biscuit sandwiches, most served with smashbrowns alongside. Kettle chips are offered as a side and cooked fresh rather than served from a bag, and apple butter can be added on for an extra charge. Coffee is self-serve, so customers prepare it their own way. Large tables run through the room for sharing with friends or strangers.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken biscuit sandwiches anchor most visits, with reviewers naming the Five & Dime, the Sticky Maple, the Squawking Goat with goat cheese and pepper jelly, and the farmer. Close behind are the sides and drinks: kettle chips described as freshly cooked, iced cinnamon biscuits, a toffee nut latte, maple vanilla lattes, and a Peach Berry Lemonade, plus self-serve coffee. Reviewers describe fast, warm counter service, and several enjoy the custom of being asked what they are grateful for or where they want to go in the world, then hearing it shouted when the order is ready. The caveats are mixed. One reviewer was caught off guard by the chicken's heat and did not care for the Smashbrowns, while another found the omelet cooked in a waffle iron chewy with little in it and noted apple butter costs extra. Two three-star reviews fell short of expectations. Praise for the staff comes up repeatedly, including one server who checked on a table midway through the meal. One couple left no crumbs or a single drop behind.

“I visited Maple Street Biscuit Company with a friend and we tried some of their chicken biscuits. I got the farmer with a side of kettle chips and my friend got the Five & Dime. All the food was so good and the kettle chips were freshly cooked (I was expecting a bag of kettle chips). All in all i would highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast/brunch and I would definitely come back to try more!”

“My husband and I were in town to celebrate our anniversary. We were actually looking for a coffee shop but it was closed so we decided to stop here. So glad we did! Shamar’s service was such a pleasure. I had the Squawking Goat and my husband had the Sticky Maple. Both were delicious! The chicken was well seasoned and paired so well with the goat cheese and pepper jelly on my biscuit sandwich. We also had the Iced Cinnamon biscuits and the Maple Vanilla lattes. So good! Whenever we visit Birmingham/Homewood, we MUST visit Maple Street Biscuit Co.”

“I was welcomed by Shamar who was very pleasant and professional accommodating the order for me and my daughter. Shamar even came over to check on us midway through our dining. My daughter loved her chocolate, waffle, and thick bacon. My …”

“We arrived right before a rush of people. It's cute that they asked where I wanted to go in the world and that is how they announced my order was ready! Fast, warm, service. Answered all my questions, made great suggestions. Had the Five & Dime. My only wish is that they would indicate the chicken has a bit of a kick to it. I wasn't expecting the spiciness. The gravy was flavorful and rich. The bacon tasty. The biscuit was good. Also had a taste of the Sticky Maple, which was also very tasty. Can't say I was a fan of the Smashbrowns though, but I'd be willing to give them another try. I think the heat of the chicken overwhelmed my taste buds. I also really enjoyed the Peach Berry Lemonade!”
