“Last stop of the trip for a quick snack before heading to the airport! ✈🍴 Our waitress was absolutely wonderful—I totally forgot her name, but she deserves a shoutout! She was so nice, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. Great way to end the trip! ❤“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

“It's hand down one of the best diners around state. Friendly atmosphere, great food and this Hash Skillet is the BOMB. Don't forget to also include a Sunrise Smoothie to your meals, makes the day feel so much better.

Love it since I've been coming here after my early 5am work shifts. Always leave contently full.“

“This was the perfect place for my daughter's baby shower. The room was lovely. The staff was excellent and the food was so good! We opted for the buffet. There was plenty of food. The ice cream sundae bar was a hit. All around? The perfect place. I cannot say enough good things.“

“Too late for a good pic! It didn’t last long! This place is amazing. Great food and service!“

“Was looking forward to a great steak after a long day of traveling only to be turned away because we didn't have proof of vaccine cards with us!! What a joke! Will never return to this establishment!“

“A must have if you’re taking a trip to Rivers Casino.
I usually have the Macon Bacon Burger (i think that’s the correct name), and I get it medium rare and it is soooooooo good. I also add an order of hash browns and for just $4 more, it’s most definitely a great deal. They give you a very good amount.
The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because, just about everyone is very polite except one or two cashiers, who seem to be miserable working there but do make an effort to at least treat guests politely but you can definitely tell that they really gotta force themselves, not easy to approach them to order. Casino management, please take note about this, not good for business. Other than that, this is one of my favorite places to have a big juicy delicious tasting burger“

“Whatever you have a taste for, they have it here!! Service was fast and SO friendly!! Ordered 4 dinners, everything was prepared perfectly and put together for take out with such efficiency, and the portions are huge!! Everyone we encountered was so nice! We will be back for sure!“

“We recently tried this place. Overall everything was good. Their nuggest and fries are good. We ordered two rice bowls - the rice were a little hard. The spicy chicken burger was good. I know this place is a little new but with little improvements it will flourish better. Worth a try !! Because the service was actually good and fast.“

“Went in yesterday evening to grab some food for dinner. The chicken wings were fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Madeline was very nice, welcoming, and quick with the service. She made the whole experience enjoyable. I'll definitely be back!“
