The Rising Sun

This cheeseburger was flavorful,d'lish.Will buy again.Worth the price.Soft crispy bun.

Ambiance here; garden-vibe looks, self seating, quiet upon arrival, and a large parking lot; says to pay but no one on site taking payments, ok to park for the event. It's a small area where you can choose to sit where you want, nice little fires lit in between tables to provide some warmth as you wait for the event to open their doors. I could be wrong, but the menu was different last night in the evening and it was very limited compared to what I see posted here on Yelp. Upon walking in, you self-seat yourself and use a QR code to scan their menu and order through there. No staff members on site, they are just in the kitchen and you pick up your order at the window on the side street of the location. Again, limited menu items, pretty much sliders : beef, fried chicken or pulled pork. I opted for the burgers sliders; presentation was nice, nothing out of the world. Served on a plastic tray, three lined up sliders served on pretzel buns. The beef patties themselves were on the salty side, unsure if they over did it seasoning the patties, but for sure some bites were more salty than others. 3/5I also ordered one of their spirit drinks: the "Bayou Dew" refreshing vodka drink, not too strong. 2/5It was decent enough to hold me through the event next door. In conclusion, no I wouldn't come back.

being from new orleans I had to stop by and taste what they got from a southern kitchen!stopped by a sunday late morning found parking in the arts district ( got lucky) strolled up to the window and ordered from our seats. there was a few solo travelers there but me and my wife had our own quiet corner in the backambiance is great and chill not too lively is what we were looking forservice is straight forward, there was the employee in the window that really does it all!Its pretty straight forward, scan the QR code pay, the food comes right on outwe got the chicken sandwhich and the chicken waffle combo with the popular new orleans hickory coffee dripI'd go back and try the po boys and beignets if we're more hungry they looked delicious

You can find some of the best beignets in town here! I also swear by their po'boy sandwich, soo yummy. This was my second visit here and both times were for brunch, which is on weekends only. Here's a breakdown of our orders:Po'Boy - Their andouille sauage and the remoulade sauce really make this sandwich special. The ciabatta bread is so incredibly soft as well. This sandwich is just packed with flavor and I will be coming back just to eat this again. Cajun brekkie burrito - With the same sausage as the po'boy, this item is also packed with bacon, egg, cheese, onions and bell peppers, all tied together with their creole seasoning. My friend loved hers!Chicken & waffle - This was served with a side of maple syrup and honey butter. The tots cost an extra $ and were so crispy and also seasoned with their creole salt!Beignets - The star of the show IMO. You must order these. It comes with 3 per order. I love that the outside is so crispy and powdery from the sugar while the inside is light and airy. It comes with whipped cream and a delicious strawberry compote. The only downside is they're a bit small in sizeHibiscus tea - This drink is unsweetened, and there was a nice balance of it being a little tangy and bitter but still allowing the hibiscus flavor to come through. As for service, you order through a QR code at your table and apparently you're supposed to grab your food at the window, but the waitress brought everything to us anyway! The atmosphere is inviting and we enjoyed having the New Orleans jazz music in the background. There is a restroom inside. The prices are incredibly reasonable for what you get and the quality of the food. Parking is easy, as there are many non-metered spots right across. Overall, I would highly recommend~!!

Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at this super cute New Orleans style alleyway patio space in DTLA. You order with a QR code on the table and can add to your tab whenever you want without needing to get a server. You can also order to go at the window. There is one server for the patio in case you have questions. We got the breakfast burrito and breakfast po boy along with 2 coffees and the beignets to go at the end. The burrito and po boy were delicious! Huge portions and full of snappy sausage, crispy tots (in the burrito) and the po boy had a rich remoulade. The beignets were a lot sweeter and flakier than most I've had in the past which were more airy. But very good and they come with raspberry preserves. I will say our one note was that everything took a really long time to come out as did other tables from what we saw. We spent about 2 hours here total, mostly waiting. We also ordered a brunch cocktail and didn't receive it until the very end of our meal. It might have been a one off staff shortage or something. We do hope to come back again for the great food and vibes.

Love the outdoor seating! Nice vibes! We tried the gumbo bowl, crispy chicken sandwich, crispy fries and beignet trio!Everything we got was delicious and would definitely get it again!We had dinner after our tasting at The Obscure! Highly recommended to reserve your spot there for a unique experience as there are limited seats!if you do plan to do a tasting, definitely feast up at The Rising Sun before as the drinks are strong

Yum yum and yummy. Visited today for breakfast. Enjoyed the food. I wish they had waiters, but I get it. The side heater exploded near us. I'm extra! the glass shattered. No one was hurt while eating. Thank you for the quick clean.

My bestie and I chose to visit The Rising Sun for our favorite meal of the day - brunch! It was a chill experience. Very low-key, good food, but overall, I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. Summary: Beautiful dining experience for brunch on the patio, one server mainly to deliver the food and drinks you ordered, but utensils, water, sweetener for coffee, and cold/hot teas are all self serve. It's not an issue, just a fact. The food was good, but I need a bit more of the "cajun" vibe. It was chill, but not super exciting. I'm curious as to what a dinner experience indoors is like because I went inside to use the bathroom, and it looks SO cool.  I'll revisit and revise based on that. Additional details for those of you who like a novel: It was a really pretty brunch setting,  the plants are lovely, and the setup gives garden vibes. Plus, there's enough coverage from the sun that the heat isn't oppressive. As mentioned above, the server is pretty much there during brunch to give you menus and deliver your order, and you're left to your own devices. It's very DIY, so if you're looking for a more involved experience where you're served in a different way, then I don't think this is the spot for you. The website also claims a "jazz brunch," and I don't even remember hearing music playing, so that was a bit of a letdown. Even though the setting was lovely and the food was good, I didn't get that Cajun, Creole, New Orleans vibe that I expected, but maybe my expectations were too high. Speaking of food, I felt like they added andouille sausage, some extra seasoning, and beignets and went "Yup, it's Cajun." I would've LOVED to see grits on this menu, which I know they had at one point. A Cajun inspired brunch menu without some sort of shrimp and grits option seems like a miss to me, but I'd like to go back for dinner to see if I get more of the Cajun vibe. The food we did order was very good. I got the breakfast po'boy, and my friend got the bacon egg and cheese, both with tots, iced coffee, and hibiscus lemonades. Not bad for a Sunday brunch and good if you're making last-minute plans, but expect something chill and easy. Delicious enough for 4 stars, but I'm holding onto that 5th one until I experience dinner.

Update: This is to respond to the manager. If this is a self-serve and not a real sit-down restaurant, then don't ask for a tip. Also, this place is listed as a restaurant and not a quick fast food place. Besides that the food is basic. I gave this place a try since I was in the neighborhood. You have to order your food from a QR code. I ordered the cheeseburger without their sauce. I wanted grilled onions on my burger, but they said that they didn't do that. This place reminds me of a fast food restaurant because after we got our food, we didn't see the waiter again. They did say that we would get a text message when our food was ready, and then we had to go to the side window for our food. To our surprise, they brought the food out to us. To be honest, my burger wasn't anything special. It reminded me of a burger at Chili's. The fries were good and well seasoned. The outside seating is okay, well covered to keep the sun out of your face. Will I return to this place? I doubt it.

Great food, had the chicken and waffles, po' boy and beignets, all delicious! Outdoor seating was quaint with great jazz music playing.
