Great American dinner

The atmosphere, service, and food are average at best. The waitress started off by giving us the wrong order. My sausage was overcooked and rubbery. There's much better options in the area. We won't be going back.

This is a great place to grab a hearty breakfast at a very reasonable price. Our waitress was great, efficiently taking our order and had impeccable timing with refills or asking if we needed anything. The menu is straight forward with all the staples of a great breakfast. The food came out quick, nicely presented and nicely flavored. The portions are just right to leave you comfortably full, but not weighed down. There is plenty of seating with lots of space between the tables and booths.

We came for breakfast and absolutely loved everything about this place, it is clearly a neighborhood staple. This is a proper diner serving the classic no-frills breakfast and lunch you’d expect. The food is prepared with care and presented neatly, and the service is friendly and professional. The interior is cozy, cute, and clean; the green tiles and classic red booths and tables made us feel right at home though it was our first time here.

The food can be summed up as “just right”. My partner and I each got omelettes, and shared an order of french toast. Our omelettes were expertly made with plenty of fresh meat/veggies and folded up neatly, much better than anything we’ve gotten at the more expensive breakfast chains around the area. The omelettes came with a side of hash-browns and choice of toast or english muffin with jelly provided, even the toast was done just right and not soggy with too much butter. The french toast we shared was likewise perfectly done, nothing too fancy but nicely fluffy, well browned, and dusted with powdered sugar. It came with “whipped spread” if you’d like, and there are pitchers of syrup at the table.

As lovely as the food and atmosphere are, the service was the highlight of our experience. We were greeted as soon as we came in, and got to choose wherever we’d like to sit. Our server was friendly and professional, always there whenever we needed something without visiting so often that it became a bother. More than just a smiling face, we noticed she exited the building to help a senior veteran from their car into the restaurant, and also helped them back to the car when they were leaving. We overheard her and the other staff chatting with some of the regulars, checking in about family and friends and local happenings. In a time when the world seems so divided, it was heartwarming to find a slice of true kindness and community in this diner. We only stopped in for a bite to eat but left with so much more. I’m so happy this business exists in the neighborhood, and I hope more small businesses similar to it open up around the triangle!

Sunny's Diner's breakfast food was good, as expected. The waitress, though—whew. She was rude, didn't slow down to listen, gave me sweet tea instead of unsweetened, and blamed it on me, and I had to go get my ketchup from the waitress station. I am not in a hurry to come back soon.

Umm it's pretty dead on a Sunday afternoon, so that's not a good sign. The place is clean and neat, the bathrooms have no soap though 🙄 it's pretty quiet even with the grill and cooking going on. I'll be honest Im a black guy and I walk in to only white people so that's that. I ordered fish and chips lunch special. I got my fish fried hard which was cook to perfection and the fries are fries the coleslaw was pretty well too. The place is alright as a whole nothing more nothing less.

The food was alright. The bacon saved the entire plate but the eggs tasted weird and the hash browns tasted like it was soapy/been sitting in the freezer too long. Not impressed. This was my first time eating there and i wouldn’t go back. I paid $15 for a plate of food I couldn’t even eat because the taste wasn’t good.

Best tuna melt I’ve ever had! Ever. Anywhere. And I have tried many. The tuna hits the flat top first so the whole sandwich is hot. They don't mess it up with additional ingredients. Just gooey cheese and tuna. I need one now.
