North Carolina chain surprisingly chosen as America's best breakfast sandwich in new poll
McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts and Wendy’s often vie for the best spot for a fast food breakfast in the US.
Local independent coffee shops and national chains like Starbucks are also vying for your money in the morning.
But a little-known chain called Biscuitville has finished first in USA Today’s authoritative rankings, as voted for by readers.
Del Taco came in second, Jack in the Box third and last year’s runner up McDonald’s slipped to forth. Dunkin rounded off the top five. Biscuitville had been top last year too.
‘Who doesn't love a delectable biscuit-based breakfast?,’ said USAToday.

‘With locations in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Biscuitville's fresh-baked biscuits can be enjoyed a number of ways, from simple bacon, egg, and cheese or fried chicken biscuits to more elaborate breakfast sandwiches like their Spicy Chicken & Jalapeño Pimento Cheese Biscuit.
‘With breakfast platters and sides of grits, hash browns, or country gravy, plus indulgent sweet treats like their blueberry muffin, it's no wonder folks return again and again.’
The North Carolina breakfast staple dates back to 1966 in Burlington - when two stores under the banner Mountainbrook Fresh Bread & Milk opened.
Nine years later, the first actual Biscuitville opened in 1975 in Danville, VA, with North Carolina locations soon after. There are now more than 50 locations.
As part of the same USA Today rankings, Chick-fil-A was ousted as America's favorite overall fast food restaurant by KFC and Del Taco.
Last year, Chick-fil-A finished first in USA Today's rankings.
This year, KFC and Del Taco were something of dark horses. Neither of them even appeared in the previous top ten. But this time around, they not only made the list- they soared to the top.

Meanwhile, earlier this week it emerged that Taco Bell will expand its use of artificial intelligence voice technology in its drive-thrus, it was announced on Wednesday.
The tech will be rolled out at hundreds of US stores by the end of the year, parent company Yum! Brands said.
This means that when customers pull up to order a Cheesy Gordita Crunch or a Chicken Quesadilla, there is a good chance they will be speaking to AI rather than to a person.
The expansion of the tech by Taco Bell comes weeks after rival McDonald's announced it was scrapping automated chatbots at drive-thru locations entirely.
