Fluffy biscuits and “righteously” fried fowl dominate the menu at Rise Southern Biscuits and Righteous Chicken, a North Carolina-founded franchise that has two Memphis-area locations.
The most important thing to know before your first Rise experience is that the restaurants are cashless. Orders are placed online or by a kiosk at the front counter, and a text message is sent to your phone to let you know when it is ready.
All orders are prepared to go, but customers are welcome (and encouraged) to dine either inside the restaurant or on the patio.
