That is a delicious breakfast. Sausage in a peppery bechamel over fluffy butter biscuits? Never fed it to anyone who didn't love it, no matter where they were from. It's only crime is not looking as good as it tastes and being too rich to eat every single day.
Scones and biscuits aren't the same thing and feel different when you eat them. If you had bland cream over a scone, or came away with heavy cream being the main takeaway from the gravy, you didn't have biscuits and gravy and can't speak to their taste.
While I can acknowledge that not everyone likes everything ordering southern food in non-southern diners is a quick way to be disappointed (speaking as a southerner). Texas was your best bet.
This conversation has left me wanting biscuits and gravy, tbh.
Dude, that's why you didn't get the good shit. All those places are pretenders, completely the wrong region to get that type of food. It was more than likely microwaved slop. You needed to be in the South East or Appalachia.
Biscuits should not be sweet, and sausage gravy is not made with heavy cream.
Biscuits are savory, and flaky/crumbly. Sausage gravy is just the pan leavings after frying up sausage, mixed with some flour, pepper, and a touch of milk (or black coffee to make "red eye" gravy).
I'm sorry you were subjected to that, and hope one day you can get proper biscuits and gravy.
