Sunshine and Pa’s

If I lived here I would HAVE to be a regular at this place. Great food. Great service. Outstanding coffee. Quaint, warm, small-​town atmosphere. You gotta try this place.

Words can not describe how much my family and I enjoyed this place. We were up visiting New Hampshire from Florida for a week. 6 days out of the 7 we stayed there, we frequented this place for a late breakfast. From the first day, we were welcomed warmly with big, genuine smiles. Never have I walked into a place where each staff member seemed so proud of their place of business. They made us feel as though we had been going there for years.
John was our server the first day. He was extremely friendly and personable. He knew the menu to a T and gave us good recommendations and tips on what to get. My 4 year old son wanted waffles but I didn’t see it listed on the kids menu so he suggested getting the half waffle which also came with a sausage link. It was perfect in size and was my sons go to breakfast meal every day after that.
The second day, we had Jenny (or Jennifer?). Another friendly staff member who gave none other than great service. She took our orders, stayed on top of refills, and didn’t miss a thing for our orders.
We also had Pat take care of us most of the days we visited. He was awesome and by far our favorite! He gave good recommendations and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. He partook in playful banter with us which kept us entertained. One of the days, after we had already walked out of the restaurant and were headed back to the car, Pat came out to give my son bubbles which made his day instantly! It’s amazing how thrilled kids become over bubbles. He definitely went above and beyond in many ways to make us want to keep coming back.
No matter who we had as a server each day, the other servers still greeted us and chatted with us. It didn’t matter if we weren’t in their section. They didn’t put a forced smile on their face just to get a tip, you could tell they are well taken care of by owners and management there. They love what they do and that kept us coming back!
Okay, now let’s take a small break and move onto the food.
I tried both their lunch and breakfast. Their breakfast was bomb! I highly recommend their country fried steak. It came with grilled potatoes (yum!), biscuits (which had the perfect crunch to them) and sausage gravy (absolutely delicious!) and eggs cooked perfectly the way I ordered them! That was the perfect hangover breakfast.
I also had eggs Benedict which was equally delicious, and a breakfast sandwich which I wasn’t too thrilled about.
My mom made multiple comments about the bacon and told the server they were the only place who could get the bacon as crisp as she likes.
I also tried their patty melt off their lunch menu which was good but didn’t wow me. Their clam chowder was really tasty without skimping on the clams or throwing in an excruciating amount of potatoes to trick you like most places. I also tried a salad one day which was extremely fresh and they gave a good amount of dressing on the side (I like a little bit of salad with my dressing). On my last day, I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on toasted sour dough (recommended by none other than Pat). It was very tasty! It wasn’t swimming in mayo which was nice.
We all enjoyed this place and I am sad it’s so many miles away from Florida. I think I would visit New Hampshire again strictly for this restaurant.

My favorite place to go for breakfast, we have been coming here for years, love the hash omelet! The wait staff is always friendly, they keep the great coffee coming

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall… consistently great food and even better service. You can’t beat this place for quality food.
The burgers are always plump and cooked fresh… and that’s a fact, Jack!
My favorite are the breakfast items. You can never go wrong with a fresh and hearty morning meal in the afternoon!

A quaint little dinner with great service. The dinner is your standard run of the mill diner. I ordered Pa’s favorite on the menu and it was fairly inexpensive and a decent item to order. The entire menus is fairly priced and with fast service. Easily accessible restaurant with seating for the whole family!
I would recommend this dinner for a quick bite to eat.
I rate this three stars because this is a very standard restaurants nothing extremely special, your run-​of-​the-​mill diner. However, still holds up a adequate standard.

Love this place! Service is great, so friendly. Not a long wait for your food and it is delicious. My only reason for 3 stars is that in 2014 I ordered their hash & eggs and it was absolutely amazing! It was fresh corned beef and potatoes, not canned! I had never had it fresh and I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to go back this year. Sadly this summer it was canned. There were a few pieces of what seemed to be fresh corned beef, but it was all canned besides that. I was extremely disappointed after looking forward to it for a year :(and they didn’t bring the price down in the switch to canned either.
