We were helped by Nathan P. He was so sweet and lovely. He always kept us in communication about the wait. Which I don't mind waiting when someone is good with communication. He was very polite and respectful. Totally made our day!

Breakfast (Because no one wanted to cook!):…read more I am a believer that it is hard to muff up breakfast and these folks kept my theory going. We had a mix of basic breakfast and specialty items but for a busy kitchen, the meals were very good. I also saw nicely decorated places of pancakes being served to the table next to me and very little left when they finished. The menu is vast - the location surprisingly large. Our server apologized for the food wait which was nice but we could see they were very busy. (Here is a thought - on the weekends: since you are known for your baked items consider making low cost mini muffins and offering one each moved from basket to small plate by the server after meal ordering.) Parking was also difficult but that won't keep us from coming back to try more dishes...including baked goods and lunch

The food was so delicious, there aren't many place I can go where my entire family will clear their plates. This is one of them and we will we back. Their coffee, pancakes, French toast, bacon, potatoes and scrambled eggs are all exceptional!!!

This place is a little jewel. I've stopped here several times for lunch with my son. And my son is…read morethe one who actually told me about this place. He had come here several times with a couple of his friends from college and said I needed to give it a try. I ordered biscuits and gravy and it's not like your typical biscuits and gravy. It just has way more flavor than you would expect. I sampled a few other various items off the menu and everything was outstanding. The staff is very nice and courteous and it's just a cozy little place to go and get some food. It's also very clean inside and it's one of these businesses that if you're not paying attention, you'll just drive right past. It's kind of hidden out of the way, but it is definitely worth going. It's not a huge restaurant and I didn't have any trouble finding parking. It also wasn't very busy at the time that we went so I would imagine it will get busy with the breakfast or lunch rush but both times that I've been it's been really nice. Highly highly highly recommend visiting this at least once and trying it

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Great place for a late breakfast !

Rising sun was a good vibe for brunch!!…read more I had the French toast platter and ordered the strawberry French toast. The French toast was good, eggs and sausage was mid not very much flavor. Latte was probably my favorite part it was very good. The mimosa flight was great you get to choose 4 flavors. The vibe and service was good it was a laid back Thursday when we went. Our waitress was very personable she knew the menu well and gave us great recs. If you're ever in the area definitely visit Rising Sun!!

The service was great, server and hostess were really warm and friendly without being over the top…read more Ambiance was cozy with pretty decor on the walls. I like the dessert display very quintessential. The hash-browns were well cooked and tasty. My favorite part of the meal. Unfortunately I found the eggs benedict to be flavorless, bland and unsalted/unseasoned. Even after adding salt about 4 times, I still could not taste anything. 0: I dont think the muffin was toasted before assembly as it was soggy. The hollandaise lacked any flavor at all, but the texture was fine and the color was spot on. The eggs were cooked well and I have no complaints in that regard, the yolk broke beautifully and oozed out satisfyingly. The ham tasted... hammy? Lol? Did not enjoy that - but I will give them props that they layered the ham on and didn't skimp! My server offered me a drink to go as well which I appreciated. I had asked for my food to go, I noticed it was packed with care with a layer of tin foil under the food between the box so that was a nice touch, very professional and considerate. The staff seemed relaxed and content which made for a pleasant experience. The rest of the customers seemed happy and focused on their company, which is a good sign. The place was clean and the staff was quick to bus tables. Overall a lovely spot, if I were to go back I'd just order something else.

What I ordered did not taste good. I don't know if it was the Swiss cheese that was used or the potato. I just know something tasted like it came from a powder. The eggs were ok and the coffee was average. This was my first time ever trying corned beef hash and I was excited but after this, I'm not sure I will try that dish again. I did look up corned beef hash and none of what I saw included any kind of cheese. Will I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe I should have just ordered pancakes.

I am gluten free and they had a binder with a special gluten free menu inside that I ordered off of. I got the Migas (minus the hash browns and tortilla chip strips because there isn't a dedicated frier) they were so good and the staff was kind of enough to replace my hash browns with a side of fresh fruit so it was still a filling meal. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a tasty lunch/breakfast.

I've been coming here for years. It's the best breakfast spot around, by far…read more Food: delicious. Lot of options. There are corn cakes, for those eating gluten free, if you're still wanting pancakes. They're decent. The cinnamon rolls are huge, & not a typical cinnamon roll, as they're made from scratch. Covered in icing! Biscuits are layered, & delicious. French toast is really good, but it's also the same dough used for biscuits, so it isn't like your normal slice of bread French toast. The coffee is from "Avoca," a local roaster in Fort Worth. Sooooo good. Lot of options for the fancy coffee drinkers, at the coffee bar BTW Prices: about $10-20 a plate. Pancakes are pretty big, so you will be full. Everything is reasonable for portion size, compared to price Environment- hipster. Open, can be loud if music is loud, making everyone else talk louder Service- you walk up to the register & order. Menu is on wall, as well as some handheld menus if waiting in line. So you don't have anyone coming to your table, everything is self serve, which is great I used to come here weekly, every Friday morning lol it's well worth stopping in and trying. Only issue I've ever had with it is parking, if it's during a crowded time lol

We braved the Sunday brunch crowd, and now I completely understand why this place stays so busy…read more Even with a packed house, we grabbed seats at the bar and had a great experience from start to finish. The place is decked out with brunch esthetic and the bartender was friendly as can be. We started with a Million Dollar Bloody Mary and a Spiked Watermelon Wake-Up, both of which were made perfectly. For food, we ordered the Chipotle Steak & Queso Hash and the Power Wrap, and both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was served quickly despite how busy they were. If you've been debating whether the wait is worth it, I'd say yes. Great food, great drinks, and a staff that handled a busy Sunday brunch like pros. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

My server was doubling as the door guy but what surprised me was that there wasn't another soul in the restaurant at 12:15 on a Friday afternoon. They have a wide open space for seating which to me might potentially get loud if it was busy, but with just me in the place it was quiet. I didn't feel any bad vibes at all from the place. I just happened to drive over while I was waiting for my number to be called at the tax office down the street. Luckily the service was speedy and fast. Cheese enchilada with carne and a hard ground beef taco are my go-to at any restaurant. The enchilada was fine, but the taco really underwhelmed me. Felt like I could make a similar flavor with ground beef and a packet of taco seasoning at home. I will say the shell was well-done to be fair it had a nice and light crispiness to it. Price vs food quality I'd say a smidge on the high side. I did the pick 2 for $13 whereas I felt like it should have been in the $10 range. But new place and new building I can understand if the price point needed to be higher. The menu did have a lot of other meals that I might have been willing to try if not pressed for time. Last thing I wanted to do was miss my number being called a the tax office. So speed-wise also great at this place. I got a couple refills of tea and a to go cup from the waiter and it was much appreciated. It wasn't the service here, nor the location I think. It is the food that probably needs to improve some. I left a $20 which was more than enough for the plate and tea and for the waiter who wasn't at fault at this place.
