Celebrating 10 Years of Rise
Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken is an award-winning, innovative fast casual concept providing fresh, premium quality food at an affordable price point. Founded by a CIA trained chef, we serve homemade biscuits filled and topped with bold flavors, gourmet ingredients and lots of love and are known for our Righteous Chicken. What makes our chicken Righteous? It’s tenderized, brined in buttermilk, fried to golden-brown perfection and then served on a biscuit or as strips with your choice of toppings and sauces.
Rise has been named to QSR’s 40/40 List for 2021: America’s Hottest Startup Fast Casuals, Fast Casual Magazine Top 100 Mover & Shaker and our biscuits have been written about in Food & Wine Magazine.
The Rise franchise opportunity provides a business platform with simple operations, premium products, a crave-worthy menu and strong consumer demand. Our best practices, systems and procedures and solid, well documented unit economics attract sophisticated multi-unit franchisees.

Take It From Our Fans
“The better-breakfast category remains largely untapped, with plenty of space between coffee-and-doughnut concepts and full-service breakfast-and-brunch joints. Rise has a great opportunity to fill that void, serving premium breakfast options quickly to customers on the go. There will no doubt be pent-up demand for that kind of business after the pandemic, which is one of the reasons why we included Rise on the 40/40 List. Its potential is huge.”

“First time in Richmond/Short Pump and tried this place for breakfast this morning and man was it amazing!! Coming from NY I know a good breakfast and this is a place I wish we could have up in NY the biscuits were really good and everything I had the ham was outstanding the bacon the sausage the fried green tomatoes the blueberry biscuits the cheesy tots were like mashed potatoes fried in a mini ball of joy it was amazing so glad I came to try this place for breakfast whenever I come back here this will definitely be one of my must come to spots!”

Google Review
“We were looking for a good franchise restaurant opportunity. The concept had to have a great personality and unbeatable food. One of the biggest draws for us was the ability to open a Rise location in a former restaurant space, converting it to Rise quickly and for less than a traditional build out. This is an investment, we liked the ability to open for less and maximize our ROI.”
