Sunrise Cafe

Love love love this place. Not only is the food amazing but so are the people that work there. I eat there every single weekend. I have eaten at the other breakfast restaurants in the area «citrus» Sunrise blows them out of the water!!!

I love this place! Delicious food with incredible service!!! Their waffles are 2^nd to none and the burgers and chicken salad sandwiches are excellent! But most importantly their waitstaff is amazing — friendly, warm and just all around awesome!

Ok this is not the ritz, it is a locally owned joint that serves great breakfasts. I like this place. My men’s group meets here every sat at nine. We used to go to bone shakers but they don’t serve breakfast after Labor Day. Menu has traditional fare however live a little and go off the reservation and order the corn beef hash breakfast. It USA very tasty breakfast that hits the food groups.
The set up is traditional diner with tvs on news channels throughout. The service is professional and the food is good. A bit of insider trading here is to get he loaded potatoes with loaded cheese, mushrooms and bacon bits. Their own concoction and it is good. Plus they serve alcohol at a diner. So for those that like an Irish coffee it is available.
Now unlike boneshakers most of the customers have walkers vice Harley’s not nearly as testosterone fueled. But good food at good prices. Can’t go wrong.

Hands down best chocolate chip pancakes. Great, fast paced atmosphere. Wonderful service Diane was great. The fact that the owner was helping out and involved on a Sunday morning is awesome, she also was more than delighted to tell another patron she’ll let her know the specials for next week and hugged her as she left, nice a personal. I’ll definitely be back.

Definitely my favorite breakfast spot in VB. So many places are over-​hyped for what they really are. Sunrise hasn’t disappointed my friends or I and this is a spot we all love. Service is always quick, especially on filling up coffees. Breakfast is easily customizable and affordable. I usually come back for their breakfast burrito and fried potatoes. It’s also not a cramped space. plenty of room for a comfortable breakfast.

Warm family atmosphere and the food rocks! This is our local hangout… especially when ever we just don’t feel like cooking. I keep trying different menu items and have always been impressed. Tasty, Affordable and plentiful is the only way I can put it. $, ****.

This is indeed an A-​OK Greek style diner.
Quick friendly service and tasty, but slightly greasy food.
Tip: the smoothie’s here are a dessert item. Sweet and syrupy, cold and refreshing — but not filled with fiber and nutrition.

Friendly, helpful staff. Food was pretty good. Similar to IHOP in price. I had a traditional 4. Eggs were good, everything was good except the bacon. It was tasteless and kind of reminded me of cardboard. Otherwise nice experience.

Had an amazing breakfast. I had the special blueberry granola pancakes and the bf had a breakfast wrap. We split everything. Nice little hole in the wall local establishment. We will definitely be back.

I’ve always loved coming here. It’s awesome to have a breakfast place with a full bar without the high prices. The food is pretty good most of the time. Pancakes there are extraordinary and their home fries are like no other. The bar seating is nice to avoid the wait if it’s crowded, you have to watch all of the behind the scenes stuff happen there though because it is their main work station (silverware wrapping, filling salt and sugar containers, refills etc.) but the staff is friendly and courteous to those sitting there and do things quietly and with a smile. There are some fantastically friendly employees there and everyone seems to actually enjoy working there.

Just finished breakfast! Service is great the coffee good and the shredded hash browns are one in a million! Super crispy and plentiful. Eggs and sausage were good as well. My husband had Belgian waffle and sausage and claims best he has had in years! Very cozy place. A neighborhood gem!

Overall a decent diner but not a place I would come back again to try.
I ordered the pick 4 traditional breakfast. Ham was great, what they call «side» pancakes are actually very huge so much that I could only eat half of it. I also had 2 soft scrambled eggs which were very soft, if I ever return I will have them cook them a little longer because they were close to being almost runny. The hash browns were great, slightly crispy on top and soft underneath.
The 2 negatives that I will point out. The bathroom was out of order, the waitress who I informed this to knew it was out of order and did not bother putting a sign on the door because in her words they were «working through it»…very strange in my opinion.
Lastly you pay in a way similar to IHOP and cracker barrel, being that you receive your receipt and go to the register to pay however I was not told so I awkwardly sat in my booth for almost 5 – 10 minutes waiting on the waitress to come back.

Friendly service and bright, open eating area. Unfortunately, the bathroom was out-​of-​service… not sure why they allowed folks to use it when you couldn’t flush the toilet. That’s just gross.
We were seated in an area that was quite chilly. I’m not sure if it were the fans that were blowing or if it were a vent… I had no clue, but I had my daughter go to my truck to fetch me a jacket and a blanket so that I could eat comfortably. I didn’t bother asking to be moved to another area because it was getting crowded.
Christi, our waitress, was cordial and very helpful with explaining the options. She was quick and our food was hot. I was pleased with my pancakes. I requested that they put the spiced apples on top. It tasted great. My cheese eggs were scrambled just right.
The home fries tasted a lot like french fries. I wouldn’t call them home fries, but they were pretty good nevertheless. When I think of home fries, I think of grilled, seasoned, sliced potatoes in cooked onions. Their version is seasoned, deep-​fried cubed potatoes. Yes, I understand that every restaurant has their own version of home fries. I just have my preference based on my experiences from eating in various, southern diners and restaurants.

This place never disappionts! I’ve been there at least 25 times since moving to VB 3 years ago. The food is delicious and you can always expect to be treated like family. This is my favorite place to go for Sunday brunch… and I’m always full for the rest of the day :)

This place is one of the most chic and classiest diners I’ve ever visited. The table settings and interior is very cohesive. Love the stripe pattern of the chair that accentuates the ceiling lights. The wall paper is spot on, it adds movement that flows aand creates awarm pleasant vibe.
Originally not the desired placed to do our usual brunch but I’m glad that a friend and I decided to try this restaurant. The customer service is absolutely terrific. The staff is very engaging and polite. The food service is quick and efficient. I must commend the chef for the terrific food presentation, its simple yet elegant.
For today’s visit, I ordered the breakfast burrito filled with omelet, sausages, peppers and cheese served with home fries on the side. I wasn’t crazy with flavor profile, thought it was very average. What matter most my hungry stomach was satisfied and fulfilled. Definitely, worth it to try.

Honestly I reallllly hate to write this review considering the waitresses were extremely nice and very attentive to us.
I didn’t enjoy my food, like at all. It all looked nice for a breakfast place, but honestly the food was tasteless. That is not something our waitresses could fix though. My hash brown was watery, the eggs with cheese had no flavor-​which was very odd to me, and my bacon was, well gross. My toast was flipping delicious though, I slathered that baby in jelly and butter! (; The rest of my food I had to put hot sauce, pepper, and salt on to even swallow it honestly.
My husband didn’t like his pancakes, and also said his food was nothing to come back to this place for, but like I stated prior the servers were great to us. Our son liked his chocolate chip pancake, well because what kid doesn’t like chocolate?
I personally wouldn’t come back here for the food, but if I need a nice person to talk to and fill up my glass of water well, I will return here for sure!

Good location. Staff was friendly. Could use sine updating. My booth seat was ripped and I about hit the floor when I sat down… and I only weigh a buck and a quarter. The omelette was fresh but needed salt and pepper. The eggs and breakfast potatoes also lacked in flavor. Maybe they cater to the elderly, which is totally cool.

I live down the road and drive by «Sunrise Café’s» full parking lot everyday, don’t let that fool you! My mother and law was adamant on having breakfast here 10/​13/​/​14 a.m.
In short:
Cold tasteless food
Canned corn beef hash
Skimpy ingredients in omelettes
Weak coffee
I have had better breakfast food at Denny’s or ihop. I will not dine here again!

Floors dirty. Coffee tasteless. Bacon cold. Random waitress sitting in the corner eating and being loud. Overall not very impressed .
The only godsend was the very nice waitress .
The staff were friendly and all, but there is just something missing here.
I agree with another Unilocaler on here that the food was not made from scratch at all… Except the eggs.
Definitely not the worst place but definitely not the best either.

This place was a pleasant surprise.
I felt like breakfast food so started searching reviews for breakfast places in South Hampton Roads. I found this place and figured I’d give it a try.
Not bad.
The food is super basic, but cooked well. The place is super gaudy inside, but clean (lol). The staff is super pleasant. I got something way different that I normally would (the Filipino Breakfast) and my little one got basic choco-​chip pancakes. I wasn’t wowed, but was so happy to have something so basic not messed up that I was over the moon. There are many, many small, locally owned mom and pop restaurants in South Hampton Roads and they are so bad. Even many basic breakfast places are bad… Seems like very few who own restaurants in southeastern VA know how to cook. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was very happy with my experience at Sunrise Café.
I went today (Thursday) and arrived at noon-​ish… there was hardly anyone there. Because of how small the place is, I won’t bother coming on a Sat or Sun morning unless I’m willing to be there by the time they open because if it’s packed I can see how it could be an unpleasant experience
For the basics cooked well, a little surprise here or there (sweet potato biscuits and Filipino Breakfast) and friendly staff, this place is worth it!
