Founded in North Carolina in 1977, Bojangles has built a loyal following across Southern states, where its menu and branding are closely tied to regional favorites and a popular breakfast menu. It now operates over 800 locations in 24 states, as well as in Honduras. Most of the chain's locations are clustered in the Carolinas - North Carolina has 350 restaurants, while South Carolina has 154. There are a few restaurants in more northern states: New Jersey has two locations, as does Pennsylvania.
There are plenty of reasons Bojangles continues to expand, not least of which is how underrated its breakfast menu is. The chicken quality has lunch and dinner crowds convinced, but the incredible homemade buttermilk biscuits are the perfect size for a comforting breakfast. We sampled and ranked 7 Bojangles biscuit sandwiches according to taste, texture, freshness, and whether we'd buy them again. Surprisingly enough, chicken didn't factor into our favorite sandwich, as the classic trifecta of bacon, egg, and cheese was too good to ignore.
The magic combination? Bacon, egg, and cheese. These three additions round out the sandwich in every sense. Smoky bacon adds salt and snap, melted cheese brings creamy richness, and the egg ties it all together with extra protein. They fill the gap left by the biscuit's dryness while complementing the spice of the chicken - transforming it into something heartier and filling.
From manic mondays to groggy weekend mornings, nothing incentivises a reluctant wakeup like the tantalizing promise of fast-food breakfast. This proverbial carrot-on-a-stick should be ultra savory, filling, and built to satisfy - which is why, if you happen to live near one, you should make the trek to Bojangles, and order the Cajun Filet Biscuit. The foodie fans of the internet have spoken, and folks are naming Bojangles' Cajun Filet Biscuit with Bo-Rounds as the best, wake up-worthy breakfast item.
