It's a diner close to home, it's not really a diner atmosphere that I am used to. Nice breakfast but seems to lack the comfort of the homey jukebox, soda fountain vibe. It's like a Dennys, after Dennys became corporate vibe.

Sunny's Diner
1825 E University Dr,
Tempe, AZ 85281

I’ve driven past Sunny’s countless times, always curious but never stopping. This morning, however, I had a 7:00 AM appointment with a commercial client, and after a productive meeting, I felt a delightful hunger creeping in. Remembering that Sunny’s was just a quick five-minute drive away, I decided it was finally time to check it out.

Friends, Sunny’s Diner...

Been going to this greasy spoon for 10 years. Nothing too fancy, but the food is consistent, and the price is fair. The service is top notch.

My regular plates are as follows:
Piglet skillets
Chicken fried steak
French toast

Great spot ill be back!
