Wow, Oxford was exactly what popped into my head. I had an MIT fraternity who was from Oxford and I visited there a couple of years ago. Courthouse Square is great and I had lots of catfish and squash casserole. I had a great breakfast, gravy and biscuits included, at Big Bad Breakfast.

City Girl in Inman Square has delicious biscuits and gravy (though they're arguably not "southern-style"). I highly recommend it.
Despite that person on twitter's claim though, I would not recommend Tupelo. This southern boy was unimpressed.

Seconding Tupelo

Seconding Tupelo. Slightly more upscale comfort food, but darn good regardless.
The Friendly Toast also offers a biscuits and gravy thing but with sausage patties on top of the biscuits instead of as part of the gravy. Was pretty decent, but not exactly the same.

Ula near Stony Brook T station has good biscuits and gravy, although they offer to add a egg to it. Decline the egg.
The Frogmore in Hyde Square has good biscuits and gravy.

I'm thirding Tupelo. Awesome!
Rosebud in Davis Square also has an interesting brunch dish called "Classy Chicken." It has fried chicken thighs and sausage gravy served on top of the BEST English Muffin in existence. The muffin tastes like a donut, it is THAT good. Not exactly classic southern-style sausage biscuit and gravy, but all meat eaters need to try this dish at least once!

Those English Muffins are from Stone & Skillet. You can buy them at Roche and Whole Foods markets. They are amazing.

I've seen those Stone & Skillet muffins around, but hadn't tried them yet. Do they really "[taste] like a donut"? Because if that's accurate I'm not sure I want to try them after all.
No. Not like a donut.

They don't taste like a biscuit, either. They are bread-like, but simultaneously gluten-y while retaining some of the fluffy craters you would expect from an engmuff.
Bull McCabe's in Somerville douses them in gravy, and it is pretty good.
Redbones occasionally offers biscuits and gravy, but I don't think it is a regular feature.

Mike & Patty's in the South End also uses Stone & Skillet english muffins for their breakfast sandwiches. They are delicious! They do have a unique flavor--hard to describe. No biscuits and gravy there but the sandwiches are awesome.
They're delicious

But they're really more like a very luxe English muffin.

I visit my brother in N.C. occasionally and savor the biscuits and gravy down there. Southern food seriously rocks and is addicting. However, it's like trying to find fresh Maine lobster in Virginia... I don't believe Massachusetts is the southern food mecca.

Redd's is good, but they only put about a table spoon of gravy on each half of biscuit, which is hardly southern style.

Redd's in Rozzie has biscuits and gravy for Sunday brunch, and they are absolutely incredible. The rest of their brunch menu is excellent, but their biscuits and gravy are just phenomenal.

Frogmore has the WORST biscuits--but they're good at other things. The biscuits at Redd's are really good but I don't recall if they have them with gravy.
Agreed.
By Sally

I like Frogmore but their biscuits--mysteriously--are NOT good at all. Redd's is great and Ula's biscuits are delicious--with sausage or mushroom gravy.

It's like when I moved up here and saw "North Carolina Bar-B-Q" and would get excited; it's not the same so don't bother. You can find OK biscuits and gravy, but only if you don't look for something on par with back home.

The best you can do for NC pulled pork is Blue Ribbon. Faison's at Sweet Cheeks is a step below that but decent.

The only place I ever found that had real NC Bar-B-Q was Outlaw BBQ in Foxboro on Rt 1 - the owners were from Greenville, NC. Alas, it's gone now.
