Verdict: Our expert take on Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken
Food (8.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 95% of the guests
When it comes to the food here, you're in for a treat! With a solid score of 8.6 and customer satisfaction at a fantastic 85.9%, diners are consistently raving. Out of 304 comments, 261 praise the delicious biscuits, crispy chicken, and flavorful sandwiches, often noting how hot and fresh everything arrives, from the tater tots to the coffee.
However, not every bite is perfect, with 26 comments highlighting areas for improvement. Some found the gravy bland or grits too salty, while others mentioned issues like crumbly biscuits or even burnt chicken. It seems consistency in preparation, particularly with certain sides, could use a little fine-tuning.

- foodI live close & was excited to have somewhere new to get take out from. I’ve been twice now & the food is great, but unfortunately I won’t be returning. Both times I’ve ordered I’ve done pickup - they have a cool area in the front where the food is put in a heated locker & you click your name for it to open & retrieve your food.
- biscuitsEverything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery, the chicken is crispy and juicy, and the whole experience felt so comforting and indulgent. If you’re in Orlando and craving Southern-style comfort food with a modern twist, Rise is a must-visit.
- blueberry biscuitMy experience at this amazing family-run business was fantastic! We tried the Righteous Chicken biscuit, Guacamole smash, tater tots, fried okra, and blueberry biscuit. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the chicken biscuit was by far the best we've ever had.
- chickenEverything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery, the chicken is crispy and juicy, and the whole experience felt so comforting and indulgent. If you’re in Orlando and craving Southern-style comfort food with a modern twist, Rise is a must-visit.
- breakfastI ordered the jumbo tots and a couple of different chicken biscuits, and everything tasted incredible. My wife and kids were in love with breakfast this morning. I'm definitely adding this to my regular spots!

Frequently criticized
- foodfood to be overrated
- biscuitThe food was yummy, but the biscuit was a bit too much for the filling and a bit crumbly. It needs more filling or a softer biscuit. The atmosphere was great, a solid 5/5, but the food itself only rated a 3/5.
- Blueberry BasketsBlueberry Baskets were completely raw in the middle
- TotsCould use more Tots tho with better price.
- biscuitsbiscuits didn't fall apart
- biscuits, eggs and gravyThe biscuits, eggs and gravy were warm
- boom boom saucethere wasn’t a lot of boom boom sauce
- boxThe box is not a great idea
- bunwhy the girl preparing the sandwiches has to smash the bun down
- burnt chickenThe quality of the food was terrible all around, and I wouldn't waste my money here again. I received burnt chicken, a stale bun, and it was missing butter and honey. To top it off, all additional items were missed, showing a general lack of attention to detail.
If you're craving comforting, fresh, and flavorful Southern-style food, especially their famous biscuits and chicken, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that a few dishes might occasionally miss the mark on seasoning or preparation.

Value (5.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 8% of the guests
When it comes to value, its a bit of a mixed bag, with a score of 5.5, placing it squarely in the average range. Some customers were thrilled, mentioning they didnt spend a whole lot, especially thanks to a free promotion or a buy one get one free deal on Uber Eats. These positive sentiments came from 4 opinions out of 13 total mentions.
However, the customer satisfaction tells a different story, sitting at a poor 30.8%. Many found the price to be an issue, frequently describing items as overpriced or pricey. The sentiment that 15 dollars for a sandwich and a drink with no side was too much was a common complaint among the 5 negative opinions.

Great Ruse Experience in Orlando!
We were so glad to find a Ruse here in Orlando, as it was always a highlight of our trips to Savannah. It's even better now that we can add it to our Sunday morning Lake Eola walk. The pet-friendly outdoor dining was a great feature, and the service was excellent.
The biscuits were fresh and not dry. We will definitely be back!

Great Food and Service Despite Noise
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, with great food that arrived hot and fresh. I particularly loved the beignets. The staff were also great to fix a mistake with our group's order, quickly remaking the food and getting it to us.
While the inside can be a bit noisy, making it hard to hear employees, the staff member was ultimately kind and considerate, and everything was worked out in the end.

Great food, nice atmosphere, a bit pricey
My experience at this restaurant was positive overall. The food was great, and the coffee was also great. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were friendly.
However, it was a little pricey for a kiosk-style order. The parking situation was also a bit difficult to find a spot. The meal type was brunch, and the group size was 3-4 people.

Good food, container needs work
My experience at the restaurant involved self-service for ordering food. I would suggest a different to-go container for the grits, as the current box is not a great idea. Overall, the food was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
