Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits
20 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/chicagofood, r/AskChicago27 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Bang Bang's biscuits receive repeated praise, including in breakfast-sandwich discussions. Opinions on the gravy are less uniform: one diner makes it a regular order, while others find it weak or not to their taste. A diner also finds the food and pies expensive, and two commenters were disappointed overall. Biscuit enthusiasm is stronger than agreement on the complete biscuits-and-gravy dish.
