Rise & Grind Cafe

Though we had to wait more than 30 minutes for our breakfast, ( it appeared that chef was working alone) the food and atmosphere was well worth the wait and worth every dollar spent. Chef is very skilled. My Food was delicious. I had Salmon cake along with buttery grits a side of diced home fries, with beautiful soft scrambled flavourful and fresh eggs . I ordered it to go but while my travel buddy was talking with the locals. I sat down and ate most of it . 🙂😍

I had the Salmon Croquettes, they were to die for. Very light and melted in your mouth. Best in the city. The vibe was amazing. Service was excellent. I found my new restaurant. Rise and grind is a 10/10. Everything I had was amazing, biscuits light and fluffy (buttery). Eggs on point. I didn't have to use any salt nor pepper. Food was seasoned to perfection.

Listen… when I say Rise and Grind is that spot, I mean it with my whole chest. Black-owned, soulful, and straight-up unforgettable. I pulled up on a chill morning and ordered the catfish and grits, scrambled eggs with cheese, and a fresh OJ—and let me tell you… that CATFISH? Baby. OMG. Crispy on the outside, seasoned to perfection, flaky and tender on the inside. It gave southern roots with a Midwest remix. Had me lowkey emotional. Then I saw Grams come out the kitchen and I knew exactly what time it was. She had that “I been doing this since y’all was playing outside ’til the streetlights came on” energy. I already knew I was gon’ do my hot portions dirty. And did. LOL. Big back activities activated. Now don’t roll in here thinking it’s fast food—this ain’t that. You gon’ wait a little

I've only been inside once for an event, and had a pleasant experience but only ordered a drink. Decided to order some food from them today, and as someone who lived in LA and frequented Roscoe's and other Chicken and Waffle spots? This was by FAR the BEST PLATE I'D EVER HAD!! The waffles were so crispy and sweet, I could've cried, no lie! They gave me the biggest drums, seasoned to perfection, and the eggs were exceptional! I NEVER leave reviews, but this was so good, I'd be wrong to not spread y'all gospel! Lol 🤣💪🏾 Thank you to whichever chef put they foot in my food, I'm keeping the toenail as a souvenir!!

I stopped in to try their breakfast and it was amazing. I enjoyed my food. Will be a regular customer.
