Scratch-made Biscuits w/ Crème Fraiche Where to get it: Blacksmith, 1018 Westheimer

Though this Montrose café's coffees and teas are on point, the scratch-made biscuits alone are reason enough to visit. Crisp on the outside and incredibly flaky in the middle, the rustic biscuits are over the top buttery without being greasy. Simply spread the warm biscuits with cool crème fraîche and sweet marmalade, but if you're looking for a bigger meal, the housemade sausage, cheddar, and an oozing egg number is equally fantastic.

Funky Pot Pie Where to get it: Funky Chicken, 181 Heights

An already decadent chicken pot pie is made all the better with chunks of tender, buttery biscuit dough popping throughout. More like a chicken stew than a contained pie, the chicken and veggie loaded gravy that smothers the dough gets topped with another golden-brown, big-ass biscuit for good measure. Get the comforting meal for $8.49.

These are Gulf coast biscuits at their finest.
