Rise & Grind: Kitchen & Coffee Bar

Long wait, slow service. We had to wait over 40 min. for two breakfast platters. Slow wait staff, horribly slow kitchen, rude hostess.

Truly excellent. Located in a humble village in Long Island, Rise & Grind has immaculate premises, highly responsive and friendly service from the waiters.

And that's not even mentioning the scrumptious food yet.

The new lunch menu was a welcome addition to the restaurant's wide suggestion. My personal favorite off of the menu was the smokehouse burger -- a half pound of thick, juicy slab of pulled pork, smoked on a gas grill, lightly glazed with Kansas City-style barbecue sauce, covered with sharp cheddar cheese, onions, tomato and nestled between two sesame seed buns. And if you're eating out on town with friends, the bottomless mimosas are highly recommended, as others can attest to.

If you ever have to visit Long Island, consider this restaurant as a developing hidden gem.

Waited an hour to be seated after being told it was just a 15 minute wait. Horrible communication between staff and when we got seated, the host was confused as to why no one had seated us already. Which just made us even more frustrated but since we had waited so long we decided to stay. The food wasn’t great, and my order of fries had a completely frozen fry mixed with the cooked fries. Overall, I would not be returning and I seriously think you guys need to figure out the front of the house situation because that speaks volumes about your business.

This is my second time at the restaurant and I absolutely love it! The decor, ambience, modern up date menus, the creativity into the menu selections is just very well thought out and all plays together so well in creating an experience. I had the chicken tenders and fries today and it couldn’t have been fresher. I love their social media video edits as well it always makes me want to stop in.Thank you so much for fresh amazing meal selections amazing service and creating an experience in Patchogue.

Very cute place. Super friendly staff. Got a very tasty Eggs Benedict, and the wide got steak and eggs. They were both very good as well as the side of corned beef hash. Great coffe too. Worth checking out.

We came here for the first time and loved it. My husband had the Classic Breakfast and I had the Mushroom Swiss burger. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The seasoned fries are good as well. Lots of food for the money.

I love this place. The southern skillet is off the hook. Their coffee is amazing! All the stick figure art in the place makes it a fun place to wall watch LOL.

I came here when it was Rise and Shine. New owners. I live in Nassau county but when in the area I stop by. The Best home fries ever. I'll be back.

I wasn’t impressed with any of the food at my table, neither was anyone Who joined me. One person ordered the chicken and waffles, and the chicken was completely raw. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. When we called the nearest waiter over, all we did was point and he immediately saw the raw (pink) chicken more then half way through. A manager never came over, but the server did let us know they were bringing out a new dish in the house. When it came back out it was drenched in sauce that was over powered by what was likely cayenne pepper. I would think the sauce would have been overwhelming but all you could taste was cayenne, to the point it was inedible. (That’s 3 people agreeing). We sent it back and that member of our party ate nothing. Again, no manager came to the table. We didn’t enjoy any of the food we had.
I really wanted to give 1 star, but chose to give it 2 for a few reasons...1..it was cute and trendy, the decor was unique and I enjoyed that. Secondly, I thought the chicken and waffles had great potential, had it had just a touch of the cayenne it might have been rather good. They took the chicken and waffles off the bill, but again we didn’t eat any of it besides the 3 small bites...they didn’t even buy the persons orange juice who had a terrible experience and almost got salmonella had they not looked first.
Not to mention...we didn’t want to complain since we already complained about the raw chicken but they clearly don’t wear anything to cover their hair in the kitchen as there was also a hair in another one of the meals as well.
I really wanted to like this place but I’m sad to say that we won’t be giving it another try. Maybe it was an off day but management didn’t think this issue was important enough to stop by and say hello or apologize, which is a disappointment and for that reason, we will deal with the parking a little further west and dine in the town instead.

What a great breakfast place. Great environment, clean and bright, and a selection of delicious fun food and specialty drinks. We had great food and great service, and the short wait went fast. I highly recommend this place, and my boys are nodding their agreement as they are eating their chocolate chip pancakes.
