We went on. Mother's day. It was so busy we had a twenty minute wait to get seated but although terribly rushed everyone was very friendly, professional and no errors on the order. Food very plentiful and delicious. Would highly recommend it.

We ate for the first time Wednesday for lunch, but had breakfast food. The restaurant was not busy. The food was delicious. I had the spinach veggie scramble with French toast and hash browns. My husband had pancakes and a very good cinnamon roll. Our server, Sierra was very friendly, and efficient. We look forward to coming here more often.

A breakfast just like Mom used to cook! We came here after an early morning meeting and what a great breakfast. The atmosphere is 'old home' and the staff was very welcoming. I especially liked all of the coffee mugs in the cubby holes for their 'regulars'. I had a great omelet with a side of biscuits & gravy - the gravy was very tasty. My wife had special tortillas with feta cheese. This is a great hometown place to have a comforting meal.

We had a great breakfast here. The salted caramel coffee was super sweet and great. My french toast and cinnamon roll were very good. I prefer a more modern interior but that is just my opinion. We sat outside. The waitress was attentive. I will be eating here again.

The foods great the prices or good. The only thing is their credit card machine. Has been down. For a along time know. Very upsetting to see a ower not give a care in the world about his or her business. You will not keep guest at all the town talking about you all and not have the right way todo your C.C. for your guest. Is on you when your doors close for good. For not have the right service in place. To keep a smooth running business.

UPDATE: 18 August 2024 Arrived at 7:10am and a perfect morning to have breakfast outside. I love their classic breakfast and always plenty of bacon and hash browns. My server is attentive and always offers to top off your coffee and asking if you require anything else. I enjoy the atmosphere and friendlier the staff and customers. See you next year. Going to the Sunrise Cafe will require waiting because of the crowd of people. It’s worth the wait and of breakfast choice. Plates are generous portions, thick sliced sour dough bread and the home fried potatoes are slightly spicy which I liked. Service was quick and plenty of servers and cooks. Definitely would recommend.

The restaurant is a little run-down, but don't let that fool you about the food. The food is really, really good here at a decent price. Their portion size is also good. Love going here for breakfast. The staff have always been super friendly, and the service is usually pretty quick. They probably had our breakfast out to us in less than 10 minutes. Definitely will go back here again.
