In my research of where to eat in Chapel Hill, there was one place that did not need any. You are looking at it. This is the chicken cheddar biscuit from Time Out. This dish had quite the reputation. Did it live up to it?
Simply put, YES. I had seen the Chicken Cheddar Biscuit on multiple travel channel shows and had heard about it from my friends who went to UNC. This is the one dish that I had incredibly high expectations for and could not wait to eat. Before we get to the food, lets talk about where you find this dish.

Time Out is located on Franklin St in the University Square shopping center. Just look for the building with the long green and white striped awnings about half way down Franklin street.

Once inside you, will quickly realize that Time Out is a Chapel Hill institution. It is open 24/7 365 days of the year. So whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night, it does not matter. You can eat there anytime for any meal!
The sign is what I came for. As you can see, they have served over 2.8 million of these biscuits!
Here is a view of the chicken. Look at it waiting to become a biscuit. You could also order other classic southern fare. I have heard great things about the mac and cheese and fried okra.

Rose - Oh so yummy!
Sarah - The chicken and cheddar biscuit! A classic. I think that is one of the first things I got when I was a freshman at UNC searching for late night meals. In one word: heavenly.
Taylor - I had the biscuit for lunch, I can’t imagine how amazing it would be late night, I would definitely get in trouble with eating too many of them.
Laura Evans - We used to wait in lines that wound around Granville to get them at 3am when the bars closed. There used to be this old black guy named Billy who worked there. He is gone now but is a legend. He would bang this old broom on the ceiling and yell at all the drunk kids. They actually have tshirts that say “chicken and cheese”. I’m hungry just thinking about it.
Mark - How could a place that’s a Chapel Hill institution misspell Tar Heel? On their sign it says “Tarheel Favorite.” Anyone from NC can tell you that Tar Heel is two words. Always.
casey - OMG! i remember billy! and, speaking of going there around 3am. you could also order a bag of bones. that’s right – a bag of chicken bones. for the near-penniless among us following a night out drinking, a 10 cent (i think that’s what they charged in the mid-80s) bag of bones with a little meat left on ‘em was just the ticket. ahhhhh.
