Customer service wise, good. Food was pretty tasty. Unfortunately, I had to send my breakfast back two separate times because each time I found a hair in it. They comp’ed it, but the fact that it occurred twice is not acceptable. Please thoroughly inspect entrees before they go out to the dining room.

The food and service are great but the online ordering feature doesn’t work and they don’t answer the phone when you call anymore.

The food was great and the environment was a cool vibe. The service was excellent too, shout out to Kyle (server).

Food and service were 10/10 but I really didn't like the plates. They were these rustic aluminum plates with artistically chipped paint. But I was afraid to let my fork scrape the plate at all lest I chip more paint off. This sounds overly picky but seriously I cannot believe a restaurant would use these plates.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. It’s amazing how many restaurants in the south have no idea how to do fish and grits. They get it right every time!

HVAC must have been broken because me and every other patron was wiping out brow from the heat. Food was not great, really bland and under seasoned, though all meat was cooked well. Service was fast but disinterested. An unfortunate pass in general. I really wanted to like it.

We've been eating here for several years. It is always fantastic. Everything on the menu is delicious. You cannot go wrong with anything you order. Service is also always amazing. You have to get a side order of biscuits and gravy for the table because of the fact that that biscuit melts in your mouth. (Photo below)

When we first moved to Decatur, Rising Son was our favorite and we recommended it to everyone. Quaint interior, good value for money, and friendly staff.

However our last few visits have been increasingly mediocre. The breakfast dumplings have increasingly gotten less filling - with our last order being mostly dumpling with a half grape-sized piece of sausage in each with a large pocket of air (which may be due to frying too hot?), the fried green tomatoes however never disappoint and are a constant favorite, yet the bacon seems to be jerky-like and like it’s been sitting under a microwave/heat lamp for prolonged periods along with dry, almost crumbly eggs. Nothing inedible, but definitely seems like a drop from the home cooked quality meals we first experienced.

Service is always good; but definitely has dropped a few rings on our brunch option list. Hopefully it’s just been a bad few visits, and their food gets back to the deliciousness we remember! ♥️

Our first trip won't be our last. We stopped in on a rainy Sunday and was seated immediately. Our server, Kyle was gracious and attentive. Our food came out quickly. Packed with flavor and well presented. On our first bite we knew we would return. Their biscuits are the BEST we have ever had.
