![]() During our visit, we were planning our next trip back. As a northern, biscuits and sausage gravy aren’t something I crave. On my visit, we enjoyed the Ralphie Deluxe (described as a biscuit, sausage gravy with a kick topped with a fried egg), the Sticky Maple (described as a biscuit, all natural fried chicken breast, pecan wood smoked bacon topped with Bissell Family Farm real maple syrup), grits, and Iced Cinnamon Pecan biscuits. It’s no question that real maple syrup just tastes better. Scott talked about the owner of the farm and the importance of using a family owned farm. They ship in real maple syrup from the Bissell Family farm in Ohio. From the all natural chicken and house-made jellies and jams including the Maple Street special B2 Jam made from blackberries and blueberries, you can taste the quality ingredients. Scott discussed the importance of paying more for quality. Maple Street prides itself on the all natural ingredients used to create its dishes. It reinforces what Maple Street Biscuit Company is looking for and the importance of building a community.

As any good company does, this mission statement guides how they conduct business. The mission of Maple Street Biscuit Company is “help people, serve others, be part of the community”. Scott said the question changes each month and is a way to prompt conversation and build a sense of community while fulfilling the restaurant need of identifying orders. I heard answers ranging from Dancer and Pediatrician to Chemist and Mommy. Not only did this get people talking about their childhood dreams to those in their party, it also got patrons to listen to other guests’ answers and discuss. On my first visit, the question was “What did you want to be when you grew up?”. From the jovial staff taking orders to the “question” asked to identify your order, Maple Street offers customers something special. It doesn’t take long to notice the community at Maple Street Biscuit Company. Noticing groups of people from the same location, they decided that was the next location. Their version of market research was asking visitors where they were from. The owners spent time in their location, talking to customers, getting to know them, and getting feedback. When the first Maple Street Biscuit Company opened, the community rallied around it. The result is “comfort food with a modern twist”. ![]() To perfect their concept, they spent 5 months having friends over on Thursday nights to try different recipes. Scott and Gus believed they had a great idea and the drive to be successful. Scott laughed reminiscing about being told they were crazy for trying to get into the restaurant business. Scott and Gus were friends with no culinary experience who wanted to create something different. I had the pleasure of speaking with Scott Moore about Maple Street Biscuit Company. The 7 th location opened in December 2015 at 39 Cordova Street in St. Since then, Maple Street has expanded to include locations in Jacksonville’s San Marco, Jacksonville Beach, Murray Hill, and Julington Creek, as well as in Tallahassee, Florida and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Maple Street Biscuit Company was created by Scott Moore and Gus Evans in Jacksonville, Florida. ![]() Augustine? Maple Street Biscuit Company is worth a visit downtown.
