Get ready for biscuits, Garners Ferry.

Biscuitville, the restaurant chain that has for decades been a favorite in North Carolina and Virginia, is prepping a location at 7924 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia. That’s about 2 miles southeast of Interstate 77. Other nearby businesses include a Lizard’s Thicket, a Family Dollar and a Hardee’s.

Construction is ongoing at the site at 7924 Garners Ferry. A banner in front of the property says Biscuitville is “coming soon.” Richland County property records show the site is owned by a company addressed at Biscuitville’s North Carolina offices.

An opening date for the Garners Ferry Biscuitville location has not been publicly announced.

The first Biscuitville store opened in 1975 in Danville, Virginia, per Biscuitville’s website. By 1978 there were eight locations open, including in North Carolina. The company now has nearly 70 locations across Virginia, North Carolina and, most recently, South Carolina. In 2022 it opened a 78,000-square-foot distribution center in Burlington, N.C.

Current Biscuitville locations in South Carolina include Florence, Indian Land and Hartsville. The company announced earlier this year that it would expand further in the Palmetto State, including locations in the Columbia and Irmo area, among others.

Biscuitville’s menu includes, of course, a host of biscuit sandwiches, including the bacon, egg and cheese; the spicy chicken and honey biscuit; the ultimate country ham biscuit and many others.
