It’s time for breakfast in the South. What is one of the first things to come to mind? Fresh made biscuits of course. And this is exactly what I found in Germantown, Tennessee (just outside of Memphis) at Rise.
There was a line out the door that I could see as soon as I pulled up. I thought it might be from social distancing, but not, the line was truly that long.
As I was waiting in line, I looked over their menu to determine what I was going to order.
Since it was breakfast time, I ordered the Country Ham Biscuit.
There was no egg on this biscuit. It was just thick slices of ham on a fluffy biscuit. The ham was salty and had a smokey taste. The biscuit was large and sweet tasting. It complemented the ham. It was a simple combination which is what I was looking for.
Because I went lighter on my breakfast biscuit I had plenty of room for some dessert biscuits. I started off with the Glazed Blueberry Biscuit. The fresh fluffy biscuit was loaded with plump, juicy blueberries. There was a little sugar glaze on top of the biscuit. This helped settle down the sourness of the blueberries. This was a cross between a donut and a muffin. It was sweet like a donut and fluffier than a muffin.
The other sweet dessert I ordered was the Biscuit Beignets.
The order came with four. They were covered in powdered sugar. They took the biscuits and fried them up. They were heavier than a traditional beignet. It was doughy and the sweetness of the powdered sugar worked well with the flavor of the dough.
Rise really does have “The Best Dang Biscuits & Donuts”.
I enjoyed all the items I tired. I cannot wait to visit again in order to try something different. Check out their menu at www.risebiscuitschicken.com
Enjoy!
