Rise delivers the Best Dang Biscuits & Beyond daily. Our flaky, buttermilk biscuits are scratch-made from NC-milled flour and 100% butter (no shortening or shortcuts) and filled with savory ingredients ranging from crispy bacon and country sausage to fried green tomatoes and Righteous Chicken. What makes the chicken Righteous? It’s tenderized, brined in buttermilk, fried to golden-brown perfection and then served on a biscuit or as strips with your choice of toppings and sauces. No Rise meal would be complete without our famous jumbo Cheddar Tots, a sweet treat or coffee from NC’s renowned Counter Culture Coffee.

I recently visited Rise for the first time. I ordered a Southern Chicken Sandwich. The savory flavors of pimento cheese and bacon melded nicely with its buttermilk biscuit ‘bun’. The only real drawback was the price point. At nearly $10 ($8.75 + tax), it felt a bit steep.
I compensated by taking small bites (so it would last longer) and let the cheerfully cute retro industrial decor do its thing. Overall, I had a pretty good experience.
Note: Out of curiosity, I checked historical menu pricing…fwiw, this item is up 32% from the $6.65 price around four years ago. (Boo, inflation.)

There’s absolutely NO reason this place shouldn’t be rated 5 stars!! Let me start by saying my spouse and I used to go to a rise in Richmond VA and this location in Carrboro made them look as if they didn’t know what they were doing (and they were good in Richmond). From the flaky biscuits, the flavor of the chicken, the boom boom sauce, TO DIEEE FOR! And everything is fresh so yes you’ll have to walk but it’s worth the wait. The manager here was super communicative and friendly the atmosphere is super aesthetic. I wanted to gatekeep this location but don’t walk there RUN!!! 100/10 can’t wait to go back!

This is good stuff! I loved the hot honey chicken biscuit. The blueberry biscuit was tasty too. I also had an icy drink of the sweet tea – and it hit the spot. The chicken was tender – I ate it too quick – LOL . The establishment has an order at the kiosk- like register. The service was good and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. The patio was clean and I was able to do some cool exploring by just looking while I ate because the outdoor patio is right off the main road. I recommend this establishment.

Best breakfast sandwiches, very affordable. Strong group of friendly employee’s. Efficient storefront with kiosk ordering with to-go compartments convenient for on the go ordering. Small dining area.
Outstanding restaurant team Carrboro!!
I love my Latin and Hispanic staff. They truly take the care with my Bacon, Egg, and cheese biscuits.
Biscuits to go as well (Bundle those biscuits) ** Save $.
A cheddar buscuit goes great with eggs at home any day if you can’t make it to the store.
I live on breakfast, SO, this has become a staple for me, wrapped in a warm buttermilk Biscuit, perfect bacon, and LOVE.
As I love your food. I absolutely FEEL the love. I can tell everytime. “Thank You, I Love You”.

Absolutely outstanding experience! Today was my first time going to Rise. I was blown away by the level of service- the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable, efficiency of process, the cleanliness of the restaurant and the prices were unbelievably reasonable. I just finished my breakfast and the food was equally outstanding. I have a busy day ahead but I am so impressed that I had to take a moment to share this amazing establishment with the community. If you haven’t been to Rise, I would highly recommend stopping in. You won’t be disappointed.

Super quick and delicious! These are the best biscuits I’ve had in a while and their righteous chicken is great too. The cheddar biscuit isn’t gummy at all- just super flaky and light. The chunks of cheddar are baked so they’re sort of hard, but it adds a great flavor!
I got their righteous chicken biscuit and a vanilla donut for less than $10.
It came out within a few minutes and it seemed like they had quite a few orders to fulfill.

I’ve been going to Rise for years, since before their not-so-recent restaurant remodeling. AMAZING biscuit sandwiches. My favorite is the Nashville hot (veg) chicken, but you can’t go wrong with most the options on the menu. It is a little pricey but the taste and quality backs it up. The donuts are on par though, not notable.
They have an online order or kiosk order-only system, no person at a cash register.

Great biscuit sandwiches! Quick breakfast or lunch spot with sitting outside. Definitely recommend and will be back. I was sad that they do not have iced sweet tea there. Is it NC?well, they had prepackaged honest iced tea. The only drawback is parking. I don’t see any lots directly attached to the place, but there are public parking lots nearby. I was walking, so maybe there are spots in the back of the building. But food is really great.

Order online today but, went to pick it up they gave me half of my order and half of somebody else’s order. we didn’t realize until we got home, only way I knew is included somebody else’s receipt on one of the bags see photo of receipt. Missing about for my Donuts. They need to work on their quality control for packing. Been trying to call them for an hour phone’s been busy the entire time.

WOW! The biscuits (all flavors) are amazing! They were extremely soft and buttery on the inside, not flaky and dry like other places.
The coffee tasted like typical coffee. I got the biscuit and gravy, which had an open face biscuit, 1 sausage and was smothered in gravy. Very tasty, but it was more expensive than the sandwich.
The sandwich was delicious and I would probably get this next time, since it had egg, cheese, and bacon.
4 stars because the doughnuts did not impress. The glazed was okay but the creme brulee was slightly disappointing. I wished they would have put more cream inside.
Would go for biscuits and meals, skip on the doughnuts next time!
