“Excellent fine dining restaurant with a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan in Sturgeon Bay. I had the surf & turf and my husband had the lamb chops, done to perfection! Everyone was so welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. Greeted by the bartender, fabulous hostess and our wonderful waitress. They even brought a cheesecake lit with a sparkler and everyone sang happy birthday! We will definitely be back!“

“Homey atmosphere with friendly personnel! AND our very favorite breakfast restaurant in all of Sturgeon Bay. ❤️“

“Phenomenal lunch . Quality and taste outstanding- will definitely be back!“

“If you’re heading up to Door County and pass the Culver's, just know this: it’s basically the last civilized outpost before you enter the land of fish boils and charmingly limited WiFi. 🧀🌲
We told ourselves we didn’t need to stop. We were wrong.
The butter burgers? Flawless. The cheese curds? Crispy little gifts from Wisconsin heaven. The concrete mixer? So thick it could patch potholes on Highway 42. And somehow the staff is always cheerful, efficient, and moving like they’re training for the Dairy Olympics.
It’s the perfect “one last taste of chain food” before you fully commit to supper clubs and cherry everything. Honestly, it’s not just a stop — it’s a strategic refueling station. 10/10, would absolutely plan my bladder schedule around it again. 🚗🍦“

“Didn’t expect to find this spot, but our family went every night on our trip to door county!! The service was top notch, food was delicious, and atmosphere was hard to beat. Wait time was long but well worth it. The cheese curds are a must order, the Guinness was ice cold, and any cherry drink served is perfect!!!! Must try if you are in sturgeon bay.“

“I love Sunrise Food & Drinks! It needs a sign that says Mexican Food though! "Sunrise" doesn't get that across. Their Mexican food is incredible. Everything is great, but wow, what a treat to get a super Mexican breakfast in Sturgeon Bay.💛“
