A popular Southern comfort food chain specializing in biscuits and donuts is reaching northward to Baltimore County.

Rise Biscuits Donuts will take over an 1,800-square-foot space in a shopping center located at 1620 York Road in Lutherville-Timonium, the company announced today. Father-and-son team Fran and Chris Kirley will own and operate the franchise with business partner David Brindza, with a goal to open by November. The location will be mostly takeout with limited seating, according to a release.

Rise boasts a mouthwatering array of biscuits and sandwiches inspired by Southern tastes. Some examples: Southern chicken salad, a fried green tomato sandwich with pimento cheese, a buffalo chicken sandwich with bleu cheese sauce and shaved celery, and eight different types of breakfast biscuits, ranging from simply eggs to fried bologna. (Naturally, since there are biscuits, there’s also gravy.)

There are also the donuts. As a preview, the menu at the chain’s downtown Durham, N.C., location offers three tiers — Old School, New School and Our School — featuring everything from regular-old glazed and chocolate icing recipes to maple bacon, crème brulee-filled, oreo and tiramisu varieties, to name just a few.
