Reviews
First, I have to acknowledge the accountability and care shown by the owners. They reached out after my initial visit, took ownership, and encouraged me to give them another try. That kind of communication isn’t something they had to do, and it really meant a lot. It showed me they’re genuinely committed to providing a great experience.
Now, let’s talk about the food! I ordered:
• A cheddar biscuit with sausage, pimento cheese and egg
• Cheesy tots
• Wildcard, a bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese on a blueberry biscuit
That blueberry biscuit absolutely blew me away. Hands down one of the best things I’ve ever eaten (and I don’t even like blueberry biscuits normally!). The pimento cheese was spot-on, and those cheesy tots were perfectly seasoned and flavorful.
I ordered online and picked up my food this time, so I didn’t interact much with the team, but it’s clear they’re working hard to deliver both great food and service. Today’s visit did not disappoint.
I’m thrilled to update my original rating. Rise totally redeemed itself, and I can’t wait to come back again soon!
10/ 26: It really bums me to write this because I was so excited to try this place out. I’ll give them another chance, but today just wasn’t their day. They seemed slammed with online orders, which delayed walk-in orders, and I got “order ready” messages, only to still have to wait. The staff was kind and really trying their best, though.
Unfortunately, when I finally got my food, the chicken biscuit, which looked great, not sure if it was fully ready. It was like biting into a raw breast, rubbery, slippery feeling as a bit into it, truly inedible. I ended up tossing it, but the biscuit and pimento cheese were delicious. I also ordered cheese grits, but only got a fork and knife, no spoon, and didn’t realize there’s no indoor seating just a few outdoor tables.
I’m hopeful that next time will be better, because the flavors seem promising, but this visit definitely fell short of the mark.
The Setup
Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the lack of seating—there simply isn’t any. The ordering area feels sterile and cramped, with a drink self-service station lining one wall and two ordering kiosks at a half-counter. While staff members were present and willing to help, the setup felt more like a ghost kitchen than a restaurant.
For newcomers, the ordering process isn’t intuitive. The signature chicken and biscuit isn’t clearly labeled on the kiosk menu; instead, you see photos of chicken on a bun and must know to ask for biscuit substitution. This might be obvious to regulars, but it’s confusing for first-timers.
The Food
I ordered the hot honey butter chicken with cheddar cheese on a biscuit, plus seasoned tots, for $17.41. The food arrived quickly, and we took it to one of the few outdoor tables on the street (note: parking is around back, not obvious from the front).
The Biscuit: The sole highlight of the meal. Fluffy and well-made, though it left a powdery film in our throats that necessitated a trip next door for drinks we hadn’t ordered.
The Chicken: An absolute disaster. Extremely thin, dry, and tough—all crunchy coating with zero chicken flavor. By the time we sat down (literally one minute later), the “hot” honey butter had completely run off and wasn’t hot anyway.
The Tots: Standard frozen tots, crunchy but barely seasoned despite being called “seasoned tots.” Salted, yes, but nothing more.
The Verdict
$17 for a flavorless, overcooked chicken slab on a dry biscuit (despite the biscuit itself being good) with salted frozen tots is hard to justify. I couldn’t finish either item. The chicken was so tough and unappetizing that I didn’t even offer the scraps to the crows nearby.
I understand most customers order takeout, but I can’t imagine this meal improving after a car ride. The experience of eating immediately after ordering was poor enough.
Perhaps my visit was an off day, but based on this experience, I won’t be returning. For a business that’s been around for over a decade, I expected much better.
Rating: 1/5
Update: today I tried the chicken and grits box, m it was very good. I think this might be my favorite thing here yet. I love grits with a nice consistency. You can also get the grits with bacon or sausage. Go try it!!
There is no inside seating. You have to take your own order by way of iPad your order will be called out by name if you wait outside, and if you order on the app, you pick it up through a window so no personable customer service which was another con in my opinion. Other than that, it was good.
