“Owner is super cool and truly cares. She knows her customers by name. One day I went in on her day off and never got served after being seated. Not to mention that the waitress never came and checked on me and was half way apologetic for the inconvenience. I tried them again and informed Patty, and of course she made it right. I’ll always return because she has good customer service and relationships appear to be important to her.“

“Been here once before, loved our experience, so we came back. My wife had the Cuban Frittata and loved it. I had pancakes and they were great they were not like what you get anywhere else they were fluffy and the last time I had fluffy pancakes was when my mom made them“

“I came into the restaurant late at night to finish a homework assignment. Bianca took great care of me--allowed me to sit where I could plug my laptop, and kept my coffee cup full without bothering me too much! She was kind with a positive attitude even though she was juggling a number of tables. I will absolutely make this a regular study space--thanks Bianca!!“

“Great food at what seems like pre-inflation Bidenomics pricing. Very nice to be able to feed my family of four at a nice sit down breakfast for around $50-$60, fast and thoughtful servers. Highly recommend!!“

“I started going to Original Pancake house in 1970's in Illinois. Then in Arizona, California, and been to this one in Fishers a few times with family that lives here. Everything was great except your padded seats aren't padded anymore. They are all springs and very, very uncomfortable. I know everything is expensive now, but I am serious when I say my husband moved a bit and you could hear the spring make that cartoon "Boing:" noise. It was loud. Everything else is good and great as usual. I do love Original...always have, always will.“

“Sandwich was really good and I appreciate the substitution being easy. I am however curious why I was charged more for the sandwich(not the extras that makes sense) than what was presented on the menu? Maybe with the changes things are exactly accurate but It would be nice to know exactly what I’m paying before ordering.“

“Brunch at Rise & Shine was a total win—not just for the food, but for the incredible staff that made the experience so enjoyable.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a friendly welcome. Our server was outstanding—very knowledgeable, attentive and upbeat which we loved!

I ordered the chorizo omelette while my friend went for the fruity crepes. Both dishes were exceptional and came out quickly even with how busy the place was.

Overall, Rise and Shine is a must-try for breakfast or brunch lovers. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Everyone who worked here was extremely friendly and hardworking. We had a very large group and they were super accommodating and quick to serve us.
Our server especially was great as she would get whatever we asked for right away.
