Time to resurrect this one.
Amy's in Eureka, CA. Breakfast and lunch joint that doesn't open till 11.
Small place, husband and wife are the only employees. Killer homemade biscuits and gravy. Among the best I've had. Everything else I've tried is top notch as well.
Update: Long time (30 years) favorite #1 Katrina's in Auburn, CA has changed ownership and unfortunately their B&G have suffered greatly. No longer on the list at all.

My local breakfast favorite has some decent B & G...more than decent. They're a real gut bomb.

We visit Eureka quite often in the summer and find the restaurants quite good there overall. Arcata is even better. Halibut fish & chips (not on the menu) at Gallagher's Irish Pub is outstanding enough that we've had it 20+ times now.
Back to biscuits & gravy now.

I've had some pretty good B&G at a couple of the Disney resorts - Trail's End at Fort Wilderness and Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Resort. I think others serve it as well, but I've only had it in those 2 places.
And at Trail's End I can get an order to go. I love my B&G.
I also had it in North Carolina and I recall it being very good as well.

I know it is pure artificial crap but for some reason I love KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. It's kind of like loving Jack in the Box tacos.

Years ago I had breakfast in the Peabody and the biscuits and gravy were excellent. I recall they told me that they use full cream in making the gravy. It was so rich I had difficulty finishing it. But it was great.
