Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken

North Carolina's Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken are in the final phases of their move into Winter Park, and they're at last opening up later this week.

As we reported back in November, Rise announced this Winter Park outpost late last year and were only a few months off their initial "early 2023" timeline. This is the first Rise Southern Biscuits to open in Florida.

Rise Southern will open their doors to their new Orlando-area location at 110 S. Orlando Ave. in Winter Park this weekend — Saturday, Aug. 12, to be exact.

Founded in 2012 by Tom Ferguson, Rise specializes in Southern comfort food including chicken sandwiches, biscuits, tater tots, fried okra and donuts.

Will Rise help fill the hole left by the Coop's closing? Who can tell!
