Biscuit Box

Food truck heaven. Previously I have had the ham biscuit — giant biscuit covered in ham gravy and beechers cheese sauce. Amazing and almost too rich, believe it or not. Today I am having the Bao biscuit. Chinese pork bell and pickled vegetables over a giant tasty biscuit. I wish they came down here more than once a month. Yum. It isn’t cheap at 8.00 a dish, but it is really tasty. I’m just cheap.

Today I had the Chinese BBQ Biscuit at the Fremont Sunday Market. It was tasty, but a bit too sweet for me and the slaw flavors weren’t bold enough to cut through that sweetness. If I ordered it again, I would have asked for more slaw, less sauce. Their biscuits are huge and fluffy and… LEGIT! I was missing a little bit of flavor from them, but nothing some butter couldn’t fix :)

These buttermilk biscuits aren’t free today but they’re worth the money!
Actually, I don’t know if these are made from buttermilk or not; and it really doesn’t matter because they’re REALLY good – not too dense, served at the right temperature, and if you order one of the meal-​sized ones (we chose the Foraged Mushroom & Black Pepper Gravy one) it comes with a bit of greens for freshness, a generous hearty amount of mushroom «gravy» and you can get a POACHED EGG on it for $ 2 more!
If you like it then you should’ve put an egg on it. If you like it then you should’ve put an egg on it.
But only for the sake of stomach space, we skipped on the egg and had as-​is. The mushrooms were cooked really well in the gravy and was nearly meaty in its umami. Really superb.
They are also serving Spindrift sodas. I loved the grapefruit one! Each flavor tells you how much fruit is in one (for what reason, I’m not sure but it makes the label interesting: Grapefruit = ¼ of a fresh-​squeezed grapefruit, Cranberry Raspberry = 16 raspberries and 9 cranberries and so on.)
Next on my list is the Tarragon Chicken Pot Pie one!

I was surprised that a sweet biscuit is $ 5, and a biscuit with some meat is $ 8, but I figured I’d give both a try. For what it’s worth, I started eating both of these as soon as I bought them, so they weren’t sitting around and soaking for long at all.
The biscuit with summer sidhu strawberry freezer jam was good, but the jam was straight-​up liquid. I was expecting actual jam, but this stuff is definitely liquid. When they put the biscuit in a container with the jam, it creeps up the bottom of the biscuit turning it into a soggy piece of bread. It sucks when a biscuit loses its texture, and the biscuits ARE good, but after being drenched in any sauce or jam you can’t taste much of the biscuit anymore.
The bao biscuit seemed simple enough, and pork belly has never been a bad choice at any place I’ve been to so I figured I’d give it a shot. Unfortunately the sauce is SUPER liquidy (again), and there’s a ton of it, so the biscuit loses its texture as it turns into a soggy mess. The sauce is also really sweet and I couldn’t eat much of the biscuit because there was so much weird, sweet sauce on it. The pork belly was also a strange soggy consistency — no texture to it, even in parts that weren’t sitting in sauce. Everything was overpowered by the sauce, unfortunately. :(
Overall, the biscuits were good, but maybe start separating the jams/​sauces out so the biscuit isn’t soggy by default. :) I know some people like their biscuits smothered — but it’d be nice if the option for a dry biscuit with a side of sauce/​jam existed too!

I tried these guys today at the Bellevue Farmer’s Market. They had me at biscuits and foraged mushroom gravy. It was the best thing I have ever eaten (and there’s this BBQ joint in Texas and vegan place in Missouri that I thought would never be topped for that title).
I grabbed my little box from them and lugged all my market finds over to a folding table next to some ladies discussing their week. Apparently my «oooh WOW» on first bite was audible…
The gravy was suberb. Who knew there was something better than mushroom soup? MUSHROOM GRAVY. With whole mushrooms. Like everything you want in a mushroom… well, anything. Then a soft, fluffy, pillowy biscuit. Topped with pea shoots and celery sprouts.
I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time. Perhaps reason to move to Washington. Or hope they franchise in my city…
Delicious gang. Deeeelicious.

Biscuit was not fresh, tasted day old, i was expecting something fabulous, I will try them again sometime when they are in front of my building, hoping for a fresher biscuit

Saw the Biscuit Box truck at the Seafair Mik Carton Derby yesterday. I haven’t had biscuits and gravy in a long time, so I decided to give theirs a try. I got the Ham and Cheese biscuits, and it was quite good. The biscuits themselves were fresh and soft. So why the 1 star rating? Their shady ass business practices, that’s why.
Maybe an hour or two after I ate there, I got sick. Like, explosive diarrhea sick. I barely made it back to my house, BARELY made it to the bathroom. I spent the entire night wracked in pain, shaking, sweating, and wishing I could throw up to relieve the pressure. It’s now more than 24 hours later and I still can’t keep anything other than water from coming right back out, and my stomach is still painful.
A friend of mine, who is also in food service, asked me about the temperature of the food when it was served to me. I remembered that no, in fact, the gravy was not at all hot, it was just warm. She suggested I let them know, in case they had an equipment malfunction.
I went over to their Facebook page and posted a comment on their post about that event, letting the know what I had and at what time, and asking them to check whatever equipment it is that keeps the gravy hot.
Later I went back to the page to see if they had replied, or had any other question about my food, and I found that they had DELETED THE ENTIRE POST that I commented on. If that isn’t shady as hell, I don’t know what is. That says to me that they KNEW their temps were not right, and also says they do not give one single ounce of shit about their customers.
Let me assure you, there is no biscuit on the planet good enough to make up for the amount of pain I have been in since I ate this crap. Do not buy from them unless you really enjoy giving money to people who don’t give a damn about your health.

I finally got to try the Biscuit Box at the Bellevue Farmers Market this week. They have savory and sweet choices — I had the tarragon chicken biscuit. It was like a high end pot pie and was excellent. The biscuit was fresh and fluffy. There were 3 young guys running it who were polite and prompt (I love food trucks but so many of the young people running them are rude and snotty). This food truck is all around 5 stars!

Terrible customer service. Terrible food. Tried the ham and cheese biscuit and I almost threw up, it was just too cheesy. It’s like making a grilled cheese and putting 8 slices of cheese in it… it’s very possible to overdo cheese. The next time I went to give a different biscuit a try, they closed before they were scheduled to close and the guy was rude about it. You’d think you’d prefer a customer over going home 5 minutes early. I might have liked a different menu item and came back again and again, but now I’m not going to even bother going back. Not worth my money or time.

This was a new vendor at the Bellevue Farmers Market, so we decided to try it out. We ordered the Bao Biscuit (chinese barbecue pork belly). I’m a huge fan of pork belly, but this was probably the worst preparation I’ve ever had — it was extremely tough, with very little meat. I gave my wife a bite and she spit it out. I also tried a bite and decided to throw the rest away.

I mean it is an OK biscuit, but not $ 5 of delicious. Plus, they were not taking cash payment.
Frankly, I am from the south and I make a far better homemade biscuit.
(and I think $ 5 for a plain biscuit with honey is almost highway robbery).

They have the cutest little food truck. Vintage feel to it. I ordered the biscuit bread pudding and let me tell you, it was so rich and warm. A total comfort food for sure. The service is great, very nice and friendly. Next time I want to try the savory biscuits.

This little truck deserves some major buzz. They do different things with biscuits (a Chinese Pork Belly Biscuit Sandwich? Yes Please!) and they also twist the traditional. For example, I got the buttermilk biscuit with butter and strawberry freezer jam, and the jam was ladled onto the biscuit so it ends up being more of a strawberry shortcake type situation (with butter not cream and a biscuit not a shortcake and… ok so it’s different but still the texture of the soaked biscuit resembles it!). I need to try the whole menu. They only take cards — no cash.

Their biscuits bring all the boys to the yard.

Basically getting stew with half of a biscuit below and half above. It’s quick and tasty. I’d suggest the ham and cheese, which is nice shredded pork with good cheese. Also tried chicken pot pie and it was pretty good.
It’s a little on the light side for quantity but that’s fine with me.

Super friendly, prices are good, biscuit was great, gravy could use a smidge more salt. Looking forward to trying the tarragon chicken biscuit and wishing they sold coca-​cola.

This food truck was so cute and quaint and the employees were so warm and welcoming that I had to try it. They have a variety of smothered biscuits and it was extremely hard to choose which one to pick. The choices a ham and cheese that uses Beecher’s cheese in it, a tarragon chicken pot pie, a mushroom grave and Chinese bao smothered biscuit. I went with the tarragon chicken and the flavor was fantastic. I wish that the biscuits were a little less crunchy, but that may be personal preference. I would have liked to have a little more gravy also since it seemed like I got half way through the dish and there was none left.

Currently visiting the downtown Seattle area on Mondays, Biscuit Box is a cute little food truck that specializes in gourmet biscuits. They have both sweet and savory biscuits that range that are far from typical and ordinary.
I went for the Bao Biscuit ($ 8) this time around — a savory combination of a biscuit paired with Chinese BBQ pork belly, pickled cucumbers and green onions. The pork belly is so tender! The biscuit also has a nice crispy exterior and is soft on the inside. The only downside is that since its so covered in sauce, the biscuit tends to absorb it all at the end.
Service is fast and friendly and heads-​up: this is a card only (no cash) food truck!

I am totally enamored with this brand new food truck. My husband and I first discovered Biscuit Box a couple weeks ago when we stopped by Hilliard’s for a pint on a lovely Sunday afternoon. I wasn’t hungry, but the friendly biscuit man saw me ogling the menu from afar and called me over. He proceeded to feed me all sorts of samples of jams, pork, and pickled vegetables, notwithstanding my proclaimed lack of interest in actually buying a biscuit. He was so charming, and the samples so tasty, that we promised to return the following weekend. I’m so happy we did. This time we met a different, equally friendly, equally charming biscuit man, who served us a biscuit covered in tomato jam. Hot damn these biscuits are good. Flaky, buttery, salty perfection. I loved the tomato jam but I can’t wait to return to try some of the more savory options. So good.

You know that oddly satisfying pain you get in your gut after you eat just a little too much? Welcome to every meal at Biscuit Box!
Let’s keep this brief because you’ve got a decision to make and a line to wait in. Biscuit Box is basically a fantastic food option because you get an insanely tasty buttery biscuit and it comes prepared sweet or savoy in different preparations. I stopped by with a friend and I tried the Bao biscuit with the fattest, fattiest slab of pork belly and some pickled veggies. My friend had a Beecher’s cheesy biscuit that was smothered in a decadent, gooey cheese sauce. After a few bites we traded for a second because we were curious about each other’s biscuit sandwich. All the «yums» and «wows» made us want to try different stuff and both were extremely good.
I believe the biscuits run somewhere between $ 7 – 10 depending on the type and they are massive. I couldn’t even finish mine!
They also have some sweet options, they take cards (YAY!) and they have Hot Lips soda, a Portland brand that makes an awesome raspberry and marionberry soda.
