“Been a few times and the employees are always so kind and good is always hot and fast! Specifically want to give kuddos to the young man working the window at 6:30 on 6/28 I think his name was Jamal but forgot to get a good look at the name tag. He was so kind and actually seemed like he was enjoying his job! Not the norm for fast food places.“

“had been a few years since I had gone to Rise. didn't realize that the entire franchise had changed..now, very few donuts and a horrible and impersonal way of ordering. the apple fritter tastes like it was baked yesterday or at the very least 5 hours ago. even Dunkin donuts might be better and that's not saying much. RISE used to have the best donuts. they were unique and tasted fresh. not so anymore. I wouldn't return. I find it weird to order on a computer and pick up your food from a box with a door on it and then they deem to suggest you tip them for....for what? making the food that they already get paid to make? it's not like they're making waitress wages. I guess they're more known now for their biscuits, but either way...I wouldn't return based solely on the ordering experience.“
