Food is wholesome and hearty and delicious, the staff is some of the friendliest around and a typical come, eat great food and get on with the day atmosphere that has been lost with some many chains and corporate dining places. Love this spot and use any excuse I can to eat here. I have never had a bad food item or service experience.

New to the area, we read the reviews and thought we’d check it out for breakfast. The food was delicious. The service was very friendly and they recently expanded their seating area to handle their peak service with minimal waits.
Things that stood out for us… the poached eggs were perfectly done–egg whites were cooked while the yokes remained creamy. The omelets were overstuffed and delicious. For sure, get your hashbrowns with caramelized onions! Yum!
Parking during peak service might be tight but don’t let that keep you away. This is a very good diner!

We were in the area for an overnight stay and were looking for a mom and pop restaurant to eat breakfast. The Rise and Shine Dinner was highly recommended by our service manager who was born and raised here.
We were not disappointed! It was a rainy Friday morning and the place was packed. You definitely got the feeling that this is the place all the locals and old timers go to eat. The servers worked in harmony with each other and were very attentive to our needs. The food was perfect and very tasty. We had the Tappahannok and Steak Bennie’s and two cinnamon rolls.
Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone that is wanting a soul warming meal made with love.

I had the S.O.S on biscuits, my biscuits where so hard I had to saw them with the knife. The gravy was really good. My wife had a two egg place with bacon and toast. The bacon and eggs where good however her toast was also hard.

Been away for a while but I had the pleasure of dining here again while in the area recently and it was hands-down awesome! So good I came back a few days later. I had a tried and true staple and my son had the cinnamon roll pancakes and perfectly poached eggs. Both were wholesome, hot and delicious! I used to live/work around the corner from here and ate or got take out often. Sometimes I would even get breakfast for my colleagues in the office. Rise and Shine always has been some of the best home cooked meals and family style service one could have.

I love diners and this one did not disappoint. I got the liver and onions with collards and mac and cheese, but it was a hard choice, lots of good options and breakfast all day. People were great there, very friendly. I did not get the Brookie (brownie / chocolate chip cookie mix) which looked amazing, but I was already stuffed.

The amount of food you get for the price is awesome! It’s hard to find a great meal these days at reasonable prices; Rise and Shine has you covered. Food was prepared exactly as we requested and it was delicious. If there is one area where improvement could be made, it’s making sure drinks and coffee are refilled as needed. I’ll cut some slack as it was busy – just something to keep in mind to earn five stars across the board.

We stopped here on our way back from Colonial Beach. It came with good reviews and you will not be disappointed with the food here. My wife had the smoked salmon benni, I had the Canadian benni (Benedict), I also had a side of chipped beef. Everything was great, service was great too and the diner was over half full. Parking is easy with plenty of spaces around the building. I will definitely go back.

My wife and I stayed nearby for a conference, and the food at the conference center we were staying at was so bad we looked for an alternative for breakfast. This place is AWESOME! The selection is great with all the traditional breakfast and even some not so traditional breakfast items. The service was outstanding. This is a local hometown diner, nothing fancy. What it is though is a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The diner seemed very clean, the service was great as was the food and the value! Skip the IHOP and national chains and go here instead! This will be my go to whenever I am in this area. You guys nailed it!

Live eating here. The place can get pretty busy but they are fast getting your order in and your food out. They have weekday specials that are really good the one day they have catfish and a side and a drink for $9.99 what a bargain. They’re open for breakfast and lunch but not dinner and they typically close around 2:00 except on the weekends where they close earlier please check their website for their hours of operation. This place is right off I 95 so if you’re traveling this is a great place to stop and get food.
