Crema's Take

This beloved Norfolk spot has built a loyal following with their standout Nashville Hot biscuit—a game-changing take on the Louisiana-style classic that converts fans with its perfect balance of heat and flavor. While they've experienced some recent inconsistency that's disappointed longtime regulars, the welcoming staff and exceptional biscuit quality (when it's fresh) keep people coming back, with their loaded tots earning equal praise from first-time visitors.

I used to come here all the time...to the point when I walked in I didn't even have to say what I wanted the guy would always say I gotchu.... Went in today to new faces and a new biscuit because what I used to order was the hella it was sweet potato back in the day today there was nothing sweet potato about it the biscuit was white... I asked for gravy over my biscuit and on the side I paid extra got my biscuit didn't look the same didn't taste the same the chicken was so small it was hidden in the biscuit ...before the chicken used to hang out the biscuit .... And I asked for gravy all on my biscuit it was a dab on the inside .... So sad n upset I wasted my time my gas and my money here yes I got my refund... Because bring the old crew back and bring the sweet potato biscuit back because that was not it at all and the biscuit tasted old like they used yesterdays biscuits ewww smh never again sad what once was a great place to go is now forever out the question...sad

Very disappointed with this biscuit. First time I ordered from here, the biscuit was soft, fluffy, and fresh but this biscuit tasted very old and the cheese looked old as well. They were also very stingy with the bacon. I think they gave me an old sandwich.

I used to love the Nashville Hot. Now what am I supposed to do since I’ve tasted Handsome Biscuit’s rendition? If you’re expecting the Louisiana style hot sauce that gets most of its heat from vinegar, this didn’t quite hit like that. It’s more of a red chile sauce, like what you’d get on an excellent enchilada, except on a perfectly crispy yet tender fried chicken breast. On a big fat tasty biscuit. I’m ruined, cause I don’t live in Norfolk.

This was my first time eating here and the food was delicious. The biscuit was so much better than I expected and the loaded tots were great. I will definitely be eating here again when I'm in the area.

First visit and we will definitely be returning! Upon entering, we were asked if it was our first visit. When we said yes, the employee took the time to thoroughly go over the menu with us. She was very friendly and helpful! We ordered the Nashville hot chicken biscuit and made it combos with tots and a drink. They have a good biscuit selection including an option to build your own. There are also sandwiches, wraps, desserts and a great selection of drinks. The biscuit was huge and delicious! Just the right amount of spice and sauce. The tots were hot and crispy. I recommend dipping them in the Comeback Sauce. The lemonade and sweet tea were delicious also! Carry out, delivery and patio seating are the dining options. We sat at the tables outside and while it was fine, please be aware you will have birds sitting on the table right next to you. These birds have no fear. 😂 They obviously know how good these biscuits are too! Seriously though, if you are afraid of birds, the patio is probably not for you!
