Amazing breakfast sandwich. You HAVE to get one with chicken in it- I first tried the bacon and mac & cheese on a biscuit sandwich, and it tasted bland (lacked flavor and seasoning). Next I tried the famous "righteous chicken sandwich"- fried chicken, with pickles and "Boom Boom" sauce- and was thoroughly pleased. The bread was fresh and fluffy (as was the biscuit on the first sandwich), the chicken was lightly breaded, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavors popped. Easy to see why this is their most famous sandwich. I would definitely return for breakfast/brunch again! Note- location in downtown Durham is to-go orders only! (Online or at the kiosk inside the store.) read more

Some of the best biscuits you'll find anywhere! Better yet, they have an amazing biscuit cinnamon roll. So amazing that I had to eat one on New Year's Day despite my plan to eat healthy. I blame Rise for the demise of my NY resolution! My nephew loved the chicken basket, including biscuits, that he requested to go back the next day before heading to the airport. The fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The 2 egg biscuit sandwich was tasty and protein packed with 2 scrambled eggs. I had it on a cheddar biscuit, which was wonderful. Bottom line: Eat at Rise! Every morning. read more

Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken - Order pick up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I was in town for the Duke Lacross game Saturday and came here both Saturday and Sunday mornings as it did not disappoint. Everything was contactless and we ordered from a screen. The first visit I ordered an egg and cheese on a cheddar biscuit, and it was a ten out of ten. I requested a runny yolk and received that, and it acted as food lube, a great touch. The biscuit was flaky and delicious and the cheese was melted. The next morning, Sunday, I ordered the country ham, egg and cheese bicsuit, and it was just as good as Saturday if not a little bit better. The ham was salty but not tough to eat. Next time I am in town, I will be back. Keep up the great work everyone. read more

Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken - Breakfast biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I placed an online order at 8:56am on a Saturday morning. I was attending a conference at the convention center up the street. I placed it while on my way so it could be ready when I got there. I ordered blueberry beignets, righteous chicken on blueberry biscuit, and a sweet tea. The total was $13.50, which was reasonable. Per email confirmation, it was to be ready by 9:11am. I received a text at 9:01am that my order was ready, which was super quick. I didn't arrive until 9:10qm. Once there, I noticed a kiosk for placing order. What was really cool is that online and pick up orders are stored in a lockbox style container. You type your name on the machine and the door with your order is highlighted. I liked that! It prevents someone from taking the wrong order and frees up staff from having to stop and pass out orders. One staff member saw me taking pictures and stopped to pose. I loved that! I did have to ask for a cup to get my own beverage. Unfortunately, when I got to my conference, they had breakfast but it wasn't stated. Guess what?I had two breakfasts haha. The sandwich was SOOO DELICIOUS! Omg. I highly recommend!! The beignets were tasty as well but I didn't get to taste them while they were fresh because I got full from the double breakfast lol. If you're reading this, give them a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

A quick stop in on the way out of town had my tastebuds SINGING!!! I picked the guacamole smash.. HOLY CRAP IT WAS GREAT. The biscuit was perfect, great guacamole and a big slice of tomato. I wish I had a location closer to where I live. We ordered through the app and picked food up on the way out of town. read more

I want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible team at Rise who helped me pull off a large breakfast order in record time! I came in around 9:30am needing 20+ bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits to thank the amazing nursing staff at Duke University Hospital who have been caring for my son. The lovely woman at the counter (whose name I unfortunately didn't catch!) jumped into action without hesitation. She immediately rallied her kitchen crew, announcing the big order, and within 15 minutes had everything boxed, labeled, and ready to go. It was seamless, efficient, and done with such kindness and professionalism. I'm beyond grateful--not only for how fast and smoothly it all went, but for the spirit of teamwork and care they showed. Thank you, Rise, for making a moment of gratitude possible during a very meaningful time for our family. Highly recommend this location and their phenomenal staff! read more

I got the hot honey chicken sandwich and a side of tater tot's. Sandwich was okay but tater tots were fantastic and honestly the only thing that kept me from giving 3 stars. It is grab and go which I did not know before (my fault) so I ordered on my phone and then walked around the area a bit but the food was ready fast. Easy pick up instructions. Hard to judge service as you don't speak to anyone when picking up or ordering your food but they are fast so that's a plus. I do wish there were some small tables inside. I walked back to my Airbnb and my food had definitely gotten less fresh as it was below freezing outside (again this is more my fault for not realizing it is grab and go). read more

Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken - HOT HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

This is a must try place! I can't speak on other locations, but the Rise in downtown Durham is to-go orders only. You can place an order online or at the self serve kiosk in the store. If you place an order online, you can pick up your order in the lockers. My husband and I ordered through the self serve kiosk at the store and it took about 6ish minutes for our two meals to be ready. I got the Glazed Strawberry Biscuit and it was absolutely perfect. There were strawberries mixed into the dough with a glaze on top. It tasted like the best of both worlds - a glazed donut and fluffy biscuit. You can keep track of where the employees are with your order on the screen in the corner. Everything was super modern and clean. There are no tables inside, but there are a few benches located outside nearby. I'd go here again and again! read more

Super disappointed. On Father's Day we ordered to go food. Scootered over and back. A man at Resturant handed us the bag saying the boxes were not working. Half the food was missing. Probable about $20 in scooter fees. When we tried calling the number just say they are busy and cannot complete call. Then had to drive back over. Food not there when we got back to Resturant. We should have checked the bag. But they might want to put 1 of 2 2of 2 on bags. This is our last day visiting in Durham and Father's Day was stressful and we didn't all eat breakfast together. They were yelling at each other about checking the bags better a bit upset we didn't have the bag with us. We did get the food. 2 scooter rides and a car ride later. read more

When I normally order breakfast for my guys at the job. This is our go to spot. Biscuits are always correct, delicious and fresh.

Lmroom temperature biscuit with cold sausage inside. The hash browns were hot. Service was quick enough, take-out styled. But my first time here and this is what I get? I'm better off going to Hardee's read more

If you haven't tried the grits and chicken box with that boom boom sauce u missing out. An gone add that scramble egg on there too. Thank me later. read more

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. read more

Was in town visiting and needed breakfast and this hit the spot! The one downtown is not an eat-in place just an FYI. We ordered the following and it was ready in just about 10 minutes! Food: Plain chicken biscuit-very yummy! Loved their biscuit! Sausage egg cheese biscuit with boom boom sauce-husband loved it. Cheerwine donut-good Blueberry biscuit-so good Cinnamon roll biscuit-also very good Tater tots-yummy they are the large ones Gravy-I wasn't impressed but the hubs liked dipping his tots in it. Overall a great breakfast place! read more

Came here for a biscuit on a Sunday morning! We were able to find free street parking down the road because it was a weekend. The inside is small with no seating but it was very easy to order. There was a kiosk inside where you could customize sandwiches. I ordered a custom biscuit and really enjoyed it. The sauces were really good and I got some pimento cheese on a cheese biscuit. The biscuit was warm and really good. The prices were okay but I was pretty full afterwards. I'm glad I tried these biscuits! read more

Was in town for an event and wanted to try something different. Ordered online and arrived to see a uniformed officer watching as patrons were getting their meals from the automated machine. This was pretty strange in my opinion and unsure of the reasoning behind it. Food was ready as scheduled, the ordering and pickup process was easy along with finding a street parking spot. Food was hot and delicious, biscuit was fluffy and moist, i hate a dry biscuit and the accompaniments were all hot and cheese melted. Definitely recommend trying this when in the area. read more

Rise has consistently good food. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing, and the eggs and chicken cooked perfectly. Their biscuits are the best. I love them so much that when my father came to visit we got Rise for breakfast his first day here. He loved them so much as well, he ordered breakfast from rise all 3 days he was here, and even took a sandwich for his plane ride home. Another point is order accuracy. When I order from many places, about 70% of the time they miss something: not Rise. Rise always gets the orders right, which is huge. I highly recommend Rise Southern Biscuits, and everyone should check them out! read more

Rise is a grab-and-go-style biscuit shop. We made a mobile order that was ready in around 10 minutes. We ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuit. The chicken was crispy and saucy, though we were hoping for some more spice. The biscuit itself was perfectly soft. Overall, Rise is a solid spot for a quick meal. We're looking forward to trying some of their other menu options! read more

Cheddar tots are the best. My chicken biscuit is good all the time but then again its basic so can't say much. They have a good selection of baked pastries. Service is fast. Most locations due take out only. They have kiosk (look rooms style) to keep your food warm if you order ahead of time. read more

Y'all, this place is delectable. It's a typical breakfast sandwich joint so no magic or mystery here. However, there's a mystery to how their biscuits stay intact with several juicy and saucy sandwich options are pushing the limit with their deliciousness. I've ordered everything here and it's all flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everything tastes fresh! Beignets need to be eaten while they're hot, they become a little tough but still tastes good! Okra is amazing, cheese tots are even better!! I got the blue cheese Buffalo sandwich and by the end of my sandwich, my mouth was so dry because there wasn't a lot of sauce on the chicken. That's a personal preference though so I'm not complaining because the flavors married so well! Try this place out you, it appeals to all! read more

Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken - JUMBO CHEDDAR TOTS - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

One of Durham's greats. Yesterday I couldn't decide between fried chicken and cheesy grits; today I went to Rise and got their Chix and Grits box with both. All of the breakfasts here are incredibly solid and at a great price - especially in 2024 when a simple breakfast can cost $20. It's not a sit down joint. You order on a kiosk or on their app, and all the food is takeout. I will admit that I don't always make it home to eat, and have scarfed down a biscuit in my car once or twice. Sometimes the Nashville chicken can't wait. read more

A most special breakfast shared with my Grandson. Our birthdays are this week. I have the pleasure of spending the morning with him today. I didn't want to spend precious moments cooking instead of cuddling. Rise was the perfect solution Something for both of us!! read more

I need Rise to come to NJ!!! I ordered a blueberry biscuit with egg and cheese. I should have ordered two!!I also ordered the chicken and grits! Delicious! I went with my mother who couldn't make up her mind because everything looked good on the menu. The service was quick and efficient. They had a special sauce they let us sample before ordering our food to see if we would like it. The ambiance offered a to-go setup. Food was ordered from a kiosk. I ate Rise in NC, but I'll visit MD since it is a bit closer to me. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is really good! The line forms quickly but thankfully the service is fast enough to keep up. I waited less than 10 minutes for my order, which I placed on a self service kiosk in the front of the shop. I had the avocado biscuit which included a mashed avocado, tomato, and a runny egg. (You can choose how you want your egg cooked fyi) It was a fantastic breakfast sandwhich and it was quite filling. I also ordered a maple bacon doughnut which I meant to save for later...but later was only like 20 minutes after finishing my biscuit. The sweet savory combo is never a bad choice! #noregrets read more

I ordered the box with 4 chicken strips, sauce, a buttermilk biscuit, and sausage gravy. The chicken strips were pretty good. The extra sauce was a bit pricey so I would recommend only getting one. The cheese grits needed salt, more cheese, and butter or something...kinda flat. The sausage gravy had No sausage or flavor. A complete flop. I would compare it to a flour few, not gravy. I am from the South so I am a good judge on these foods. I may go back but will not order this again. read more

Still as good as I remembered it. Made a detour here on the way back from the Outer Banks since I haven't been here for more than 2 years. Because of COVID-19, you have to place an order online or in-store through the self serve cashier. I placed an order for 12pm pickup and had to wait 10 minutes to get my order. Got the chicken box (4 chicken strips, a biscuit, and a side which I got fries), a chicken biscuit, and another order of seasoned fries. Between the two of us it was more than enough food to get food coma. Total was around $15, which was a great price. One stars knocked off due to waiting, and also per the instructions on my order they said to call and someone will bring it out, but that wasn't true. Had to go inside to ask for your order. read more

The best cheddar biscuits I have ever had. Their fried chick with the pimento cheese was just absolutely mouth watering. I loved it. My gf really liked the biscuit with avocado, tomato and egg on it. The cheese tots were also very good. That was one of my favorite items. The donuts weren't anything super amazing... Pretty much just your average donuts. We tried the maple bacon and the raspberry filled powdered donut. read more
