Rise Southern Biscuits, a cherished gem hailing from Durham, North Carolina, is making its triumphant return to the Lone Star State, bringing with it the irresistible allure of southern comfort food. This time, however, it’s not just a casual visit – it’s a full-blown culinary expedition bound for the heart of north Fort Worth.
Nestled within the bustling Victory Shops at Basswood on 7064 Blue Mound Road, this new Rise outpost promises to be a beacon of biscuit bliss amidst the Texan landscape. Unlike its previous forays into Collin County suburbs, Rise has strategically chosen this prime location to cater to discerning palates seeking the quintessence of southern hospitality.
Gone are the days of merely dabbling in the art of biscuit-making; Rise is stepping up its game with an extensive menu boasting an array of tantalizing options. Picture this: 25 different biscuit sandwiches to choose from, each one a symphony of flavors waiting to be savored. And that’s not all – newcomers to the menu include succulent chicken fingers and plant-based alternatives, ensuring there’s something for everyone at the table.
Residents in the vicinity, particularly those along Basswood Boulevard near Saginaw High School, are in for a treat. Rise’s reputation precedes it, with legions of loyal fans clamoring for its delectable offerings. With up to 1,000 freshly baked biscuits produced daily, it’s no wonder this establishment has garnered such a fervent following, initially spurred by the enthusiastic collegiate crowds in Durham.
Ah, but let’s not forget the evolution of Rise itself. From its humble beginnings as a quaint “biscuits and donuts” joint to its current incarnation as Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken, the journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Although saddened by the passing of founder Tom Ferguson in 2022, Rise has continued to soar to new heights, expanding its reach to encompass 24 locations under its new moniker.
At the heart of Rise’s allure lies its culinary offerings – the stuff of legends, if you will. Picture-perfect biscuits, lovingly crafted to perfection, served alongside an array of mouthwatering fillings. From the iconic Righteous Chicken biscuit, featuring crispy fried chicken nestled between fluffy layers, to the Southern chicken biscuit adorned with creamy pimiento cheese and crispy bacon, each bite is a revelation.
And let’s not overlook the ubiquitous Nashville hot chicken biscuit, a fiery masterpiece that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you yearning for more. But Rise isn’t just about breakfast anymore – with sandwiches now available on buns, it’s a veritable feast that transcends traditional mealtime boundaries.
For those seeking a heartier option, the “Chix & Grits” platter beckons, offering a tantalizing medley of chicken fingers, cheese grits, and crispy bacon. And let’s not forget about the biscuits themselves, which can be paired with savory sausage or plant-based alternatives for a truly satisfying meal.
Excitement has been brewing since the announcement of Rise’s impending arrival in January, and now, with the filing of a construction permit, the anticipation is reaching fever pitch. Situated alongside other culinary hotspots like Swig and Salad and Go, Rise is poised to become a cornerstone of the local dining scene, offering a taste of the South with every bite.
As construction progresses, all eyes are on Rise as it prepares to stake its claim in the heart of north Fort Worth. With another location underway in Dallas, the Rise revolution shows no signs of slowing down, promising to delight palates and warm hearts wherever it goes.
In a culinary landscape filled with imitators, Rise Southern Biscuits stands apart as a true beacon of authenticity, bringing the spirit of the South to the heart of Texas. So mark your calendars, dear foodies, for a new era of biscuit bliss is upon us, courtesy of Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken.
