The Squawking Goat is coming to Carrollwood.

The fried chicken, goat cheese, and red pepper jelly biscuit sandwich that Chef Amanda Freitag gushed over in a 2106 episode of Food Network's Guilty Pleasures will now be available locally.

Maple Street Biscuit Company, the home of the Squawking Goat, is slated to open its first Tampa area store in early April.

The restaurant started in 2012 in Jacksonville and now has "community stores" in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina.

"We call them community stores because what we do is community driven," said Troy Gibson, Community Leader. "Our mission is to help people serve others."

Gibson and his business partner, Mike Pearson, opened a store in Gainesville and then decided to expand to the Tampa area. Pearson is an Armwood High School graduate, a member of the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame, and a former Jacksonville Jaguar.

Maple Street Biscuits Company's menu includes flaky, scratch made biscuits that are made with all natural maple syrup. There are a variety of biscuit sandwiches such as The Farmer, which has all natural fried chicken breast, pecan wood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh house made apple butter.

Also are on the menu are biscuits and gravy, salads, Smokey Mountain Mac-n-Cheese, and Bluegrass Grits which are made with cream cheese, butter, bacon, cheddar cheese, chives and topped with a sunny side up egg and hot sauce.

Coffee and coffee drinks are made with Red Leaf Coffee which is based in Jacksonville. All of the coffee beans are freshly roasted.

Maple Street Biscuit Company will be located in the Carrollwood Village Shoppes at 13028 N Dale Mabry Highway.

It will be open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It will be closed on Sunday. For more information, visit maplestreetbiscuits.com.
