Reviews For Rise n Dine Breakfast & Lunch Restaurant

The food was delicious. I had an impossible sausage scramble with hash browns - one of the specials of the day, so I’m not sure if it can be ordered whenever - which was wonderful even without hot sauce, and it came with decent hash browns and amazing pancakes. I swapped out the standard ones for the Nutella, banana, and strawberry pancakes and it was absolutely delightful. I only wish that I had real maple syrup for the little bit of the pancakes I put it on. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing, with neat touches like a large cozy fire pit, and the service was great, timely, and the waitress new what I’d ask for before I asked. The food came very quickly too. It was a wonderful experience, with fantastic food. I highly recommend it for a breakfast or brunch.

My first time here! The food was awesome, well proportioned, and the menu was extensive. I really appreciated the fact that there were Mexican inspired food on the menu. We came all the way from New Jersey and this was our first meal of the day and when we got there we were greeted nicely and were attended to pretty quickly. Great place, definitely recommend.

They were able to easily accommodate a dozen hungry runners on a Saturday morning. They brought us all the food and kept the coffee cups full the whole time. Everything is delicious and the service and hospitality is top notch. The fireplace is also a fantastic touch on a cold morning. Best breakfast place I've been to in a while.

I was pleasantly surprised. I passed by it every day going to work, but never have time to stop. So a friend and I went when he came to town to visit and I was extremely happy with it. Anybody who goes to some of these breakfast place no it’s pretty much the same over and over But the food I received was above board. The eggs which I had over medium were not caked in butter or grease, they were well cooked. The sausage I ordered was actually decent sized and thickness, and honestly surprised the hell out of me. Usually at breakfast restaurant you get those thin, little tiny overcooked patties, this was not like that. And I ordered bacon too because I have a carnivore and that was thick. My only issue with that is there was a lot of grace left on the bacon, and it was slightly undercooked, but I don’t mind that so I use a napkin to get the grease off and then proceeded to eat all of it. I’m disappointed in myself because I can’t remember the waitresses name, but she was so sweet and attentive. Sometimes when you go to a restaurant, you see the waitress once or twice, she checked on us the whole time making sure that everything was good.

We've driven past this location at least a thousand times, but after an article in the Daily Herald with new ownership we decided to give it a try. We're so glad we stopped in here because it was excellent. From being seated, served, and satisfied it was all top notch! We recognized our server from the news article we read and found out that one of the owners (Carol) was our server! This was fantastic to see her leadership electrify the rest of the staff during that peak hour. She took so much pride and delight in helping all her customers. All the food was delicious and we found our children scraping off their empty plates. (completely rare event) This is going to quickly become our go to breakfast place. The only downside is the parking during peak hours, it's a smaller lot and maybe someday they'll expand it if absolute necessary. I definitely recommend Rise n Dine!

Yum. That’s how I feel after my breakfast at Rise n Dine. The eggs were fluffy, the hashbrowns were a perfect mix of soft and crispy, and the bacon was thick yet crispy (something not easily achieved). The challah French toast was also quite tasty and a must try! Would I reccomend this restaurant? Absolutely.

I go to brunch place every Sunday morning with my friend. We start with coffee as usual - decaf for me and regular coffee for my friend. Coffee was great and their menu was, you know, typical American brunch menu. We had an omelette with side pancakes and avocado toast with gravy and biscuits on the side. I think the portion of avocado toast was just right for me as I eat little and gravy & biscuits was good. It was snowing outside and their indoor is very cozy with fire place. It was very peaceful morning with warm and good food.
