Rise and Shine — Restaurant in Howard Township

This is the kind of place you hope to happen upon in your travels.

We were staying at the Spalding Lakes Campground and noticed in their reviews that many of the guests who has stayed for any extended period of time raved about Rise n' Shine. We were sold.

When we drove up and saw the parking lot nearly filled to capacity we knew that was a very good sign.

Things just kept going up, up, up from there.

Friendly Michigan folks holding the door open for us as we walked up. Offering up suggestions of what was good to eat when we inquired.

Being greeted by a friendly hostess, visited by Angel, the owner, and a super friendly waitress. They really do a great job at making you feel welcome.

Hearty, home style cooking done very well at a super fair price.

I got the chicken fried steak with homemade sausage and gravy, eggs, red potatoes and toast. The perfect amount of food to get you through a full morning without giving you way too much.

The hubby got the eponymously named Rise n' Shine breakfast with bacon, sausage, eggs, red potatoes and a biscuit and sausage gravy. The bacon was perfectly smoky and the single biscuit and gravy half filled the entire breakfast plate. I'm not a biscuits and gravy type of gal but this plate would make anyone reconsider that stance.

I highly recommend Rise n' Shine. Angel stopped and chatted with us and made us feel like long lost friends.

The people here like their jobs and make you feel special for stopping by. Whether it is your first or...

This used to be my go to place when I wanted a little home cooked comfort food. Since the pandemic and the change of owners the food has drastically changed for the worst . Quality went downhill and cheap ingredients are being used . I ordered the jumbo burger the signature burger on the menu. Usually it’s heaven on a bun with bacon ham cheese ect. Let’s start with the patty tasted like a dollar store patty the aftertaste after a bite was horrific . No more hand carved ham on this burger we now have packaged ham that is not even ham . The bacon was burnt cheese was tasteless . The burger would get a zero if I could score it . Now the homemade soup cream of potato. Tasted like Lito onion soup mix with hard undercooked potatoes . Like I said this was my favorite place in niles I’m heartbroken it has come to this . I do t like writing bad reviews but Calling then won’t fix this the product...

Lindsay Beth here saying that this place is the best place to go for breakfast if you're in Niles ! I order breakfast here almost every week! It was always their famous breakfast burritos (which are huge!) Smothered in amazing gravy and it's got hash browns, green peppers, sausage, ham, bacon it is AMAZING. By the time i go to pick it up, its all ready and the staff is always friendly. Their food is well priced and the food is so worth it! I even mentioned to my mother that she needs to go. Will definitely be recommending more...
