The Best Breakfast in the South: The Buttered Biscuit
Sam and Anna Russell started The Buttered Biscuit in 2017 to bring handcrafted, scratch-made, locally sourced breakfast to Arkansas. The Buttered Biscuit's most recent opening was on May 29th in Little Rock at the Promenade at Chenal. "At the [beginning]," says Sam, "it was a husband helping his wife succeed at her dream. At the grand opening [in Bentonville], I was going to come in, give my wife a high-five, and say congratulations. It was so busy that I called my boss and told him I needed to stay and support my wife. There I am, opening day of the restaurant, sliding all over the floor in my leather wingtips. Within a week of opening, I decided to quit my corporate job and go into entrepreneurship full-time with my wife."

The Buttered Biscuit Set to Open First Little Rock Location May 29
Little Rock’s breakfast and brunch scene is about to get even tastier.
The Buttered Biscuit, a family-favorite Bentonville-based restaurant, is opening its doors to the new Little Rock location on May 29 at The Promenade at Chenal.
Known and loved for its made-from-scratch cooking, The Buttered Biscuit serves breakfast, brunch and lunch options including biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, chicken and waffles, lemon cakes and much more. The restaurant’s classic central-Southern dishes are delicious, comforting and filling, and can be modified for dairy and gluten-free preferences.
Restaurant goers can feel especially good about eating good when ordering the popular “Eureka” dish. Made with fried chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce, cheddar cheese and egg on a biscuit, $1 of proceeds from every Eureka sold will go directly to Project Biscuit, a charitable branch of the restaurant that helps propel underestimated individuals toward success.
Founded in 2017 by Anna and Sam Russell, The Buttered Biscuit operates four award-winning locations in northwest Arkansas. The first Little Rock location will reside in west Little Rock at The Promenade, while another location is in the works to open in The Heights later this year.
According to our sister publication Arkansas Business, Sam Russell, CEO and co-founder of The Buttered Biscuit, shared that the Chenal restaurant encompasses about 3,500 square feet and includes a “beautiful patio,” which is another 900 square feet. The restaurant is located in the former Tavern Sports Grill space and will seat about 110 inside and another 60 outside.
The amount invested in the two Little Rock locations is almost three times what The Buttered Biscuit has invested in previous buildouts. The two new stores will serve as prototypes for future growth.
“We’re so excited to share our passion for food and hospitality with west Little Rock soon,” said Anna Russell, co-founder of The Buttered Biscuit. “This store’s design and atmosphere is one of a kind, and we can’t wait to see the community begin filling up its tables in just a few weeks.”
The Buttered Biscuit will be open seven days a week. Doors will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For a full look at the menu, click here.
Be sure to follow The Buttered Biscuit on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on important information and for announcements about Little Rock’s second location.

Nobody does breakfast ‘butter’ than The Buttered Biscuit
Anna and Sam Russell love breakfast, but they couldn’t find a restaurant that they liked. So, the couple opened their own place, The Buttered Biscuit in Northwest Arkansas.
Sam, who was in consumer packaged goods for a national company, credits Anna as the visionary behind the venture.
“Anna felt led to open a restaurant and began calling Realtors,” Sam said. “We decided to put breath into her dream. We went in full steam ahead and opened our first location in April 2017. It just took off, and it never slowed down. Within a week, I had resigned my position with my employer to help with the restaurant. It exceeded our expectations tremendously, as the restaurant met a consumer desire.”
The couple had a 4-month-old, and Anna was pregnant around the time of the opening of the first location. Their family, which has four children, grew along with the business.
Today, Buttered Biscuit has two Bentonville locations, a Springdale location and a Fayetteville location.
The couple’s talents balance the enterprise and fuel the ongoing success. Sam’s strengths include planning and branding, while Anna has a remarkable entrepreneurial spirit. The couple experimented with many recipes before opening their first location, and continues to evaluate and update the menu.
At the Springdale location, I asked my excellent server Olivia to help me pick out dishes to try. She steered me in the right direction.
The Buttered Biscuits and Gravy are a bestseller. The Avocado Grove Toast is a great menu item for those looking for something a little lighter. I enjoyed every bite of the rustic sourdough bread topped with melted Swiss cheese, avocado spread, two sunny-side-up eggs, fresh ground pepper and pepitas. The toast was served with a fresh side salad.

The Kickin’ Chicken Waffles are a winner, winner, featuring a spicy fried chicken fillet on a signature waffle served with delicious bacon jam, syrup, powdered sugar and two eggs.
Who needs to go to New Orleans for beignets when you could have the fabulous house-made Raspberry Beignets at The Buttered Biscuit? Each mouthful was enhanced by raspberry melba, orange honey butter and powdered sugar. Lemon curd and cinnamon sugar are other varieties.

The menu offers many biscuit sandwiches, including the Eureka. This creation features a golden fried chicken fillet topped with bacon, tomato, lettuce, cheddar cheese, egg and cilantro aioli on a homemade biscuit.
The Lila Lemon-Cakes, fluffy blueberry pancakes layered with lemon curd, blueberries and sweet cream, are excellent — a wonderful, sweet and tangy treat. Omelets, Benedicts, breakfast bowls and traditional breakfast items are also available.
Sam and Anna worked with locally owned Onyx coffee to develop the blend offered. According to Sam, coffee is “the pinnacle” to them.
All four locations of The Buttered Biscuit have great service and wonderful food while maintaining an atmosphere that is clean and sleek, yet warm and homey.

Sam said employees follow well-planned processes to ensure consistency and adhere to five core principles: honesty, ownership, care, excellence and positivity.
