L&M Fine Foods

What people say, in short
L&M's biscuit breakfast sandwich attracts repeated endorsements, including from diners seeking a Southern-style biscuit. One commenter singles out the fried egg and sausage, and others appreciate the value. A dissenting breakfast commenter still finds it somewhat costly. Another warns that the sandwiches can sell out on weekends, so the recommendation is not a promise of current availability.
