15 new restaurants coming to St. Johns Town Center

Maple Street Biscuit Co. is opening a Southside location this fall near Baymeadows Road.

Owner Scott Moore said the new location at 8358 Point Meadows Drive is expected to be open by Oct. 1.

"It’s an area we aren’t serving right now and thought we could go into," he said. "The beach store is far away and the San Marco store is far away, and we’d like to be within a 3-mile radius of a mostly residential area to be part of their life."

Maple Street Biscuit Co. offers an array of biscuit sandwiches such as "The Squawking Goat," which has fried chicken, fried goat cheese and pepper jelly on a biscuit, as well as biscuits and gravy, salads, entrees and sides.

The 2,600-square-foot store will boast 90 seats inside and outside. The hours of operation will be the same as other Maple Street Biscuit Co. locations, which are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The Southside location marks the 11th store for Maple Street Biscuit Co., which is celebrating its fifth anniversary in November. The original location is located in San Marco Square at 2004 San Marco Blvd.

"Our mission is to help people serve others and this is a chance for us to live out that mission," Moore said. "Every time we get the chance to open another store, it’s a chance for us to serve a neighborhood of people."
