The server was rude, annoyed, and bothered attitude. The fried chicken Benedict is awful, the chicken is not fresh fried, it’s just Tyson frozen chicken from the store, and wasn’t even hot. Food is way overpriced. We had two Benedicts, shared a French toast, two basic coffees, came out to $65

Awesome!!! This is truly the best breakfast hands down . The bloody Mary is the best as a local I go as often as I can everyone is so sweet they are truly masters of their craft dealing with the public is never easy however the entire staff makes it look easy smiles everywhere you look Emily generally takes my order so I'm so I'm bias towards her I admit it however the entire wait staff is A plus if your local sunrise will be your new favorite place if you're just visiting and and planning a return trip to the island this will be a must go to the people doing the cooking and the prepping are A+ as well Paula is steadily calling out orders directing what table to bring the food to the rest of her staff is organizing and prepping and just basically fine-tuning everything a fantastic job done by all I enjoy sitting at the counter so I can watch and listen to everything going on behind the counter it is truly awesome if you're familiar with the restaurant industry and then you know the term in the weeds they may be in the weeds however it never shows they are truly amazing every person there is truly outstanding and just a total gem of a person.

this is one of our favorite places to go. if you sit out side you can bring your dog. they will even give your dog a treat and bowl of water.when you sit outside if the weather is a little chilly they have heaters.the servers are great. they all work together. someone is always checking that everything is OK or re filling your coffee or beverage.they many Benedict to choose from.their pancakes are delicious and big. one filled me up.I usually get their avacado toast which is on momma sprouts bread. it is another favorite. it is very filling.

We had such a wonderful breakfast here - we had taken our three young boys to watch the sunset and then stopped in for breakfast. The service was incredible - felt like ten people were taking care of us. So efficient and the food hit the spot! Would come back every day if we weren’t leaving tomorrow! Definitely add this to your island plans.Kid-friendliness: Took great care of our kiddos. Kids menu portions were generous.

We came here on a rainy Wednesday morning and at 10:45, there was a decent number of people waiting for a table. The place was a bit hectic with a very full porch and many servers hustling about, I wasn't sure our party of four (2 adults, 2 hungry kids) should stay. I am so glad we did. The "wait list" moved quickly and we were seated in no time. Our waitress was there almost immediately to take a drink order and returned with them almost as fast. The same could be said for our breakfast plates which came out super hot. Everything was delicious and our two coffe cups never went less than half full. The team at this restaurant is awesome! Everyone works together to make sure no one is forgotten- whether it's for refills, water, a dropped fork, or serving your food hot when it comes up, it was so great to see that the hectic hustle I witnessed when we first walked in is all in the name of putting the customer and service first. There was absolutely no "that's not my table" attitude. The delicious food was worth returning for and the service made that a guarantee. Great job ti the staff & kitchen. Our breakfast was a great rainy morning treat!

We had mediocre weather and a sick kid for our Spring Break vacation, but what a great ending having brunch at Sunrise Cafe. The food was excellent, the service was great and the outside patio with our table in the sun was fantastic. Highly recommend!! We will be back to HH in May and will surely be back to Sunrise.

Wife and I visited while on vacation at HHI based on the reviews. She got French toast and sausage which she said was great. I ordered the quiche and crab cakes. Quiche was good just needed to added salt. Crab cake had too much breading and a strong horseradish taste and wasn't cooked long enough. Kind of creamy im guessing from the mayo and horseradish in the mixture. Service was good, alot of different waitresses checked on us. Our main server's daughter and family I believe were there sitting next to us and she was more focused on her grandchild than those around. No issue with it, I get it but just thought she was too involved with playing with her granchild than working. Would come back but just wouldn't order crab cakes.
