I love breakfast food, but I also love getting to eat it at 1 p.m on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I'm just your basic brunch girlie always looking for the next spot to try.
I'm not the only one in South Jersey to enjoy bountiful brunch date. In New Jersey, brunching isn't just a meal or activity. It's basically a ✨lifestyle✨.

South Jersey's best brunch spot
According to the folks at Best Of NJ, the best place to enjoy brunch these days in South Jersey is a little spot just off the Black Horse Pike in Blackwood called Blair Mountain Biscuit Company. Their website explains how Chef and owner Ted Miller brings his southern roots to southern New Jersey.
As the executive chef at Bluemont Vineyard in Virginia, Ted developed his signature biscuit recipe. His cheddar rosemary drop biscuits were a quick favorite and became his specialty.
After moving to South Jersey with his wife, Tori, the pandemic is what made Chef Ted decide to figure out how to incorporate his specialty into his community. Voilà! Blair Mount Biscuit Co was born!
Apparently, you can't go wrong with either the breakfast biscuit sandwich or the berries and cream French toast. Let us know what you'd try off the menu on our app!
