Rise and Shine was great for a simple and cheap breakfast with lots of food! I got a side of hash browns and white toast and was pleasantly surprised with little servings of jam, butter, and ketchup! I'm always a little wary of local places like these but, they exceeded everything and kicked my worries to the curb! Will definitely order again when I can!

Everything we ordered was great! The food is fresh and perfectly cooked. The Hot Cake Tall Stack (3) are huge and thick. The Vegetarian Omelet is so good, as well as the home fries scattered with onions. Bacon Sandwich BLT was crisp! My daughter isn't feeling great so her Coke and grits made her feel better!

Sometimes I just want breakfast for lunch. The liver mush and egg sandwich with a side of grits hit the spot. There's a large portion of grits and the liver much was cooked to perfection. As always everything is fresh and I will be ordering again. I have never been disappointed with the food.
