    Delicious pancakes, over easy eggs and pork sausage patties
    Alan G.

    Arrived at Janet's a few minutes after it opened on a weekday and it was already busy--always a good sign! We were seated quickly and the service was very friendly and efficient. Our server was clearly experienced and as this was our first time, she gave us some excellent breakfast recommendations. As billed, the large, fluffy pancakes were a star of the show, and enjoyed them with creamy butter as well as warm maple syrup for one and their own berry jam on the other. Delicious. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly as well as the sausage patties. Also grabbed a side of hashbrowns which were crispy and well seasoned. The coffee was hot and tasty, and our cups were always full. Can't wait to get back here the next time we are in town!

    Thank you Yelp! What a great find!!! May will be her 20th year in business. They offer breakfast and lunch all day which is awesome!! My husband always wants breakfast and if the time is near lunch I would want lunch. We both had breakfast today. I had the breakfast burrito and added sausage. It was large and tasty. My husband had the #2. Omgosh! It was gigantic!! He could not finish it all. I helped a little, just to taste it, and it still wasn't gone. The pancakes were moist and tasty. The service was perfect. They work as a team and we never had to ask for anything. They came around with coffee and refilled my tea before it was empty. That is big points in my book!! This restaurant is very small with only maybe 7 tables plus maybe 4 counter seats. This is close to the SLC airport so it is very convenient if you are coming or going. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Garden Scramble with English Muffin
    Camille W.

    What a great brunch spot in Northern Salt Lake. Ordered the Garden Scramble, Eggs Benedict and Cinnamon Roll. All were top notch and we left super pleased with our Sunday morning brunch. The vegetables and eggs from the Garden Scramble were cooked perfectly and a good brunch-sized portion. The side of homemade salsa was a great addition. The Eggs Benedict is not too heavy and was equally as tasty as the scramble. The Eggs Benedict is only offered on the weekend. The Cinnamon Roll was a delight! Super soft and moist, with a sweet glaze that wasn't too heavy. The ambiance is what you'd hope for in a small, hidden gem brunch spot - nice and cozy with friendly, approachable staff. The staff was helpful in narrowing down our selections. They were attentive and came back to check on coffee and other needs. We were lucky to arrive when there wasn't too much of a wait. By the time we left, all tables were full and they had a bit longer wait. We were served quickly and overall happy with the experience. Will be back again!!

    Janet shows us that it doesn't necessarily take a large space to make a big impact. The Sunshine Café uses every square inch of the restaurant to seat guests at tables or at the counter-leaving just what's necessary for the kitchen area. The walls are even maxed out with cool vintage art and witty signs. No space goes to waste. My wife and I enjoyed breakfast at the counter where we got to interact with staff and watch the magic happen at the grill. Something about seeing how the sausage is made, so to speak, makes me enjoy the experience of dining out even more. The food was terrific, coffee hot and never ran out and the staff was attentive and friendly. I left with a full belly and sunshine in my soul today.

    Tiny little dive. Incredible pancakes, they are massive. Would recommend. Service was fast.

    From scratch Strawberry-peach jam And salsa
    Lisa L.

    We stopped in to Janet's Sunshine Cafe for breakfast on Thursday morning while visiting our daughter in Salt Lake. We love breakfast, and someone recommended this place. The restaurant itself is tiny, but what a HIDDEN GEM! Meat lovers omelette, Biscuits and gravy breakfast with eggs and bacon, the granola pancake with warm butter and syrup was so good!!! And the southwest omelette, hash browns and toast. We had some of Janet's homemade strawberry and peach jam for our toast, and the salsa on the omelette which was so fresh with cilantro and just so wonderful. Kristen took such great care of us. We really wish we were in town for longer. I hate to spoil a secret...but this place serves awesome food! And so much of it, that we had some to take home! One tip though, only eat here if you want a great no nonsense breakfast. They don't need any bougie customers.

    Garlic Burger and Fries
    Jaron R.

    Nice Little Cafe Diner! Fun atmosphere, great friendly service, good food. Had the garlic burger and it was delicious. As good as any of the local places. The fries are fresh cut and cooked just right. It's a smaller place so get there early to find seating. It was nearly full when I got there, which also tells you the food is good. It was more expensive than I was expecting because the pictures of the menu were out dated, so I included new menu pictures here.

    food is always so good and at an amazing price. home cooked meals with a lovely staff and great service. the ambiance is so charming, classic diner style. a family favorite for years!

    Chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns, and sauce. My husband added the hot sauce before I got a pic.

    We went in for breakfast when we flew to SLC to see the Lakers play. Service was fantastic... one waitress rocked the entire place! I'm sure she had a great staff on the kitchen and at the door... but she ran that floor and stayed on top of orders and refills. We were so impressed... and the food was amazing. We almost want to visit SLC just to return for breakfast! Highly recommend!!

    The short and sweet:…read more Ya it's pretty good, those waffle fries were definitely on point. I also had no real complaints about the burger either. The in depth: Rj grill is just off of Main Street in the business center with Spankys, Costa Vida, etc. Just hopped in after a workout via the recommendation of my barber. The interior wasn't anything to write home about but that's not why I go somewhere to eat. I ordered the bacon cheese burger with waffle fries, and within 5-10 minutes they were out with my order. The star of the show turns out to be those fries, I don't know what seasoning they had in there but it was honestly fantastic. The burger itself was nice and juicy with chewy bacon. As I write this my mouth still feels the amount of salt that I just had so if you're wary of that here's your warning. They also had Mexican sodas and sweet treats, I didn't get any but it could be a fun addition to an outing here. In the end if you're in bountiful and want a good burger that isn't a chain, this is probably a top option. Burgers will also run you about $13.5-$16 before tax with fries included) Rating: 4.25/5

    So we really like RJ's and the guy behind the counter was awesome, so friendly and likable. We…read moredecided to try something new at his suggestion. We usually go with the hamburgers and they're really quite good. Today we tried the following; Monte Cristo sandwich and it looked good and had good flavor but it was really thickly battered, too much so taking away from the flavor. 3/5 And the fluffy sandwich. Two grilled cheese sandwiches, as the buns, and a hamburger patty with mushrooms and bacon in the middle. Not something I would normally order but the guy at the counter said it was amazing with even better flavor than the burgers. It was good but I thought the bread took away from the overall flavor, needed more sauce, and the round patty doesn't fit with the square bread. And it was quite the bomb, as expected. 3/5 We'll be back but will go back to the burgers. Their fries are very good much like McDonalds fries if you like those. 4/5

There are no ice crystal's like regular ice cream but it is frozen and pliable. Scoop it with a spoon and enjoy it. This is my first time trying it. The staff at drive-thru was very nice and excellent at their work. From the way they spoke to me taking my order to handling my payment to delivering my custard. I was impressed. The inside looks very inviting; the place has been around for years. I remember seeing this place when I was a little kid and always wanting to come because it always looked like it was the place to be. And Now that I know, oh heck, yeah, I will be coming back with my family.

I was driving so I just did a quick internet search of nelsons which brought up the I believe millcreek location which I dialed. I wasnt sure which I reached while I was on the phone until I asked if it was the bountiful location (which is closest to me). When I realized I didnt have bountiful I asked if I could get the bountiful location phone number. the girl who answered said she didnt have the number and didnt even offer to look it up. I asked if she could look it up and she wouldn't. Then I found the bountiful number, called it, I asked if I could place an order for take out, the guy who answered said "I'm not sure", then put me on hold, he got back on the phone and said :I can't take your order." So I thought f)((* it, I dont need to support a place w/horrible customer service. No other restaurant or fast food place would never not take my order. I will never darken Nelsons door and we ended up at burger king with the whopper which was fine with us. customer service to these people means very little.
