Great little spot for breakfast. Food was delicious. They were very busy when we arrived so we had to eat at the counter, friendly staff and good service!

Sonny’s is an excellent choice for a simple, honest breakfast filling the gap for New Fairfielders after the Luncheonette closed.Sonny’s is open during the morning until 2 pm allowing plenty of time to stop in for a breakfast or lunch.We each had an omelette- like another reviewer said - which was stuffed full of your choice of ingredients. I had their Geno’s omelet which was filled with bacon, onions, peppers and cheddar cheese. Neatly folded it made a pretty presentation unlike other diners or cafes whose omelets are like a placemat folded in half.My husband had the special - their Mexican omelet which had a festive array of cheese, salsa, veggies and more.But the highlight of the breakfast for us was their grits. I’m not fond of home fries - too big and chunky for me, so their grits were a great substitute.They are heavenly - they were creamy with the grits apparent, thick with a pat of butter. We add some salt and pepper and enjoyed.Why am I focusing a review on a simple side dish? My husband is from the deep South where grits are the mainstay side dish to every breakfast. The grits served here were just like the best grits he had from down south. Most places up here serve thin, runny grits that are too gritty. Properly done takes cooking them slow and long so the grits break down somewhat and develops that rich creamy flavor.So unexpected to find a southern dish done so well. All their other dishes are just as delicious as the ones we had.Sonny’s has a homey atmosphere where Sonny himself steps out of the kitchen and checks in with the customers.Service was quick and attentive. My coffee cup was refilled 3 times without me asking. Condiments were also offered without asking.Sonny’s is touch of a blast from the past with good simple breakfasts (and lunch) with great service and a smile.

Sunny Side Up made me believeagain in a quality, enjoyable diner breakfast again!! We stopped the morning after Thanksgiving after visiting family for the holiday. The staff was wonderful, the prices were very reasonable ... and the size of our omelet dishes was remarkable. Two things made this visit a must-do again. The food quality was top-notch. The bread for the toast was superior, and the bacon & sausages were so much better than the usual diner fare. But as much as that, the staff made us travelers feel at home and that we had been regulars. It is an easy, short drive from I-84... even though SIRI needed 2 tries to get it right. ;-) We highly recommend it and will be back next time we visit the relatives.

Called to place an order for a BEC and was told “no, we’re too busy” and then they hung up on me. Sooo I guess I won’t be trying to get food from them again….

Amazing spot for breakfast! Big portions, great prices, really good coffee! We've stopped here 2nd year in a row! We even had the same sweet waitress! If they had t-shirts I'd buy one! We were visiting family and had traveled from California. We will continue to come here as long as they are here! Twenty years strong!

I’ve been looking for a breakfast spot like this for years! You can tell the grill is seasoned from years of cooking. Best home style omelettes around. It’s a hole in the wall spot with great prices and super friendly staff.

Great breakfast/lunch spot with hugh portions of food. I didn't expect to order 2 pancakes, and have them be soo big. I had to share them as I definitely couldn't finish them on my own. I actually didn't even finish them, and I shared them. The omelet i got had the option to have grits with it instead of home fries. The eggs Benedict was really good as well. This place is packed and had to wait a bit, but I can see why. It is worth the wait. It is not a large establishment, so seating is limited. We will try lunch options next time we are back.Vegetarian options: YesKid-friendliness: High chairs
