Consistently outstanding... food prepped ontime. They need to work on making the app more user friendly but I love the food

Food was fresh and hot! Got it super quick and it was delicious. The biscuits are huge and moist and the grits were creamy. Had to add a little salt to the grits but it was so good.

We used grubhub to order from Rise and man, totally worth it. We hadn't been before, so I thought we would try it for breakfast. 1000/10. Food was hot and fresh, the packaging was simple, cute, and so e of it is recyclable! We will be ordering again!

I always get the righteous chicken cheddar biscuit as it hits the spot for me in the morning!

A Rise Above: Charming Breakfast Haven with Unique PerspectivesNestled snugly in the heart of Durham, Rise presents itself as a delightful breakfast nook with an unmistakable charm. As a frequenter of breakfast joints, I was drawn to Rise by the promise of freshly baked biscuits and a cozy atmosphere. My experience was marked by a mix of pleasant surprises and intriguing observations.While some might find this initially surprising or even disconcerting, I found it added an unexpected layer of charm to the atmosphere. Rather than feeling out of place, I quickly embraced the novelty of being surrounded by individuals of varying heights. It provided a refreshing change of pace from the usual dining experience.Now, onto the main event: the biscuits. Oh, how they exceeded my expectations! Fresh out of the oven, these golden delights were flaky, buttery, and simply irresistible. Paired with a generous dollop of jam, they were the epitome of comfort food. Each bite was a delightful symphony of flavors, leaving me longing for more long after the last crumb had disappeared.In terms of service, Rise truly shines. Despite the unusual sight of shorter patrons, the staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating. From refilling my coffee to ensuring my meal arrived promptly, their professionalism and warmth did not go unnoticed.While Rise may offer a unique perspective on the world, it's important to note that its appeal lies not only in its clientele but also in its exceptional cuisine and stellar service. Though the sight of shorter individuals may initially catch you off guard, I urge you to embrace the experience with an open mind. After all, isn't variety the spice of life?Overall, I would rate my experience at Rise a solid 4 out of 5 stars. With its delectable biscuits, inviting ambiance, and friendly staff, it's a breakfast spot that's well worth a visit, regardless of your height.

Rise is delicious, as always. I'm partial to the blueberry biscuit and the biscuit and gravy, but you can't go wrong eating here.

Great spot! I initially found the ordering a little confusing. I used the posted QR code to order via my phone but it didn’t go through, so I used the kiosk and it was fine. The owner was so friendly and accommodating to everyone who came in while I was there and the food i got was top notch! Coffee was also amazing. In town from Charleston and was literally amazed by the prices- I can’t think of another place where I could walk away with a protein bowl and coffee for $11/$12 bucks. Thank you!!!

I never had such amazing breakfast items and such a long time, at least since the pandemic. The other day I had some tater tots that was so lovely but today I had regular tater tots, so I don’t know if I was dreaming or not.

The food? Delicious! I nabbed the Guacamole Smash Veggie, Fried Green Tomato Veggie, and Jumbo Cheddar Bites. The guacamole was delicious, the wrapper disintegrated around the biscuit, and it had to be picked out of the guacamole. It's still worth it. The Fried Green Tomato was also amazing. The biscuit itself was so thin, however, that it crumbled in its wrapper. I didn't take any pictures. The entire thing looked like a disaster. Highly recommend the cheddar bites! They need no dipping sauces! My mom grabbed a simple Sausage, Egg and Cheese. She got a bun instead of a biscuit that looked like a child sized flat piece of bread, but the sandwich combined tasted good. She really loved her Cheese Grits, I watched her scrape the bottom and sides of the small Styrofoam cup, trying to get every single bite.
