This is honestly the best breakfast you can get in the surrounding Ottawa area. They do serve lunch as well but no matter the time of day we order breakfast because it's that good. The portions are large and filling but not wasteful. The staff are all so friendly and to go orders are always hot. Our new favorite find on the menu are the breakfast burritos and the eggs Benedict is also divine. There are many reviews that mention the credit card processing fee but that doesn't bother us in the slightest. The business has to pay this fee and they would have to raise prices to cover this for everyone. Many places in Ottawa don't even accept credit cards. Give them a try- you won't regret it. read more

Great service. Good pancakes. Decent coffee. I would love to give this place a five but my cinnamon roll french toast missed the mark. I would stop in again for a meal if I were in the area. read more

Sunfield has a large menu that is a lot of your average family diner stuff. The food is reasonably priced and they are trying hard to do as much "house" cooked as possible. The location is a bit odd for those coming off I-80 since you have to cross over many of the commercial areas and I actually missed the place the first drive down the street. I ended up getting the seafood platter. It had perch, sea scallops, and shrimp. I didn't feel the shrimp and scallops were breaded there. seemed like they were more of the frozen variety. The perch was good. I was going to try a dessert, but the waitress didn't even ask and just gave me the bill, so I ended up not getting anything. Probably better in the long run. Service overall was okay though. It seems as this place is good for those looking for okay food while in central Illinois. Something better than fast food. Not a gourmet meal though. If I end up driving through this area again though, I might try it again. read more

We had a great waitress. The restaurant is very generous with food. Complimentary basket of bread and butter. Soup or salad comes with a lot of meals. I really enjoyed my spinach pie platter with cottage cheese, fruit, and some veggies $10. The fried fish plate is a great deal with 4-5 fried pieces of fish and soup and potato $9. Many lunch specials. Spacious dining area and ample parking. read more

Sunfield Restaurant - Fish, fries, and free bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

Just ate lunch here. I had the all you can eat Greek salad, mushroom soup and bread. Bread was fresh and homemade and tasty, salad was good but a little plain and the soup was thick and hearty. Service was very good - food came almost instantly and all for $6. Whoever said this place was overpriced is on crack. I went back for dinner and had a full plate of lasagna with salad and garlic bread and a bread basket and two glasses of half decent cab for $16. $16 people. Cheap. And it was good. And the service was extraordinary. read more

This restaurant reminds me of an old country buffet type of restaurant with honey oak colored wooden seating and a simple and easy-going atmosphere. The service was good and the staff was really friendly and when we were seated for a wedding rehearsal dinner, despite the fact that there were 25 people or so, service was still good. As for food, I had chicken soup, a cheeseburger and fries. Soup was decent, reminded me of what you get from a chicken noodle soup can though in terms of the look of the bowl. The burger was too well done for my liking, so it was pretty average tasting. It kind of reminded me of what a lot of average bbqers produce when grilling burgers. The fries were good, They were cajun style and quite tasty. Overall I'd give this place 3-stars. I think a restaurant's star rating is based heavily on food quality (70%) and with some rating based on service and ambience. Service was 4-5 stars, atmosphere and ambience was 3 stars and the food was average at best, so 2.5-3 stars for that. read more

I've heard multiple recommendations for this place, and I decided to give it a try for breakfast. I got the Meat Lover's skillet and it was delicious. The potatoes inside were amazing, little crunchy cubes of fried deliciousness. My friend got the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and wasn't impressed - it came out luke warm. The food came out ridiculously fast and the service was great. Reasonably priced. I will definitely return. read more

We had been staying at the Hampton Inn all week and while their free breakfast is not bad, we really wanted something a bit fresher. After looking at reviews online we decided to give Sunfield restaurant a try. We were seated immediately and got drinks right away, but it took our server almost 10 minutes to take our order as she had three tables of food come out all at once. Once she was done, and she did apologize, we ordered. I got the pork chop and eggs and my wife got a Denver omelette with egg whites. We each got the pancakes. The food came out in good time, and was very tasty. The pork chop was moist and tender, and the Denver Omelette was stuffed with fresh vegetables, ham and cheese. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and very tasty. Our coffee cups were never empty, either. I highly recommend the Sunfield for breakfast when you are in Ottawa. read more

The food here is ok, the fresh soup reminds me of canned soup, but again was ok. I got the ribs they look great, and we're seasoned good, but smothered in sauce. I was up here for the weekend and this place was a last minute decision. I would eat here again, but it wasn't anything special. read more

Sunfield Restaurant - Rack of ribs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

This place is awesome. The breakfast that they served was really good. I had the omelet that I really enjoyed and the prices are reasonable.

We stopped in here for breakfast before we went skydiving. Good simple breakfast, ambiance was typical of a breakfast place, everyone enjoyed their meal. Our server was awesome! She took great care of us and always made sure our water was filled up. She also told us of the legend of Bill Walsh, to which our friends and I still talk about. read more

Disgusting, over-cooked frozen food! The vegetable medley that came on the side was cooked so long that the colors of the vegetables were all wrong. The mahi mahi was cooked too long and tasted terrible! The positive: the staff! Everyone was very kind & attentive, you can't find that everywhere. They definitely are an asset. I truly hope they are valued there. read more

Recommended to me by a young, beautiful and friendly receptionist that works nearby in this area; I ordered the 1/2 Reuben sandwich lunch special. It was the best Reuben I've ever had! If you are looking for a light lunch, go to this place and you will not be disappointed. It comes with a side of soup, home made chips and a side of pickles. read more

Nice friendly atmosphere. Quiet. It was good food. Not great food. However the potato soup was delicious. I also loved that they served home made bread which includes home made raisin bread. Thats something I don't see very often. Usually they are heat and serve. The staff was friendly but the kids were kind of all over the place. Im not sure who was actually waiting on us. They were not that busy but they seem to spend a lot of time at the register talking leaving the workload for the young man running around. I will be back for the potato soup but Ill more than likely be getting it to go. read more

It reminds me of a Denny's. A large menu so you are bound to find something. Breakfast is available any time. I tried the lingonberry crepes and blt avocado omelette. Both were very good. read more

Don't eat here. Go further into town to find better options. Worst corned beef sandwich ever. It was processed, rubbery and bland. The signature Sunfield salad was tasteless topped with gelatinous Italian dressing. Burger and lasagna were dry, overdone, uninspired and tired. Staff was friendly but the food was a joke! Blah... read more

This restaurant had pretty good food. I would say that it runs with a bit of an older crowd. However don't get the lunch half sized paninis. The normal ones are a dollar more and you get twice as much. read more

Great atmosphere, great service from waitress Amy... and great food! Would recommend to anyone who asks were to get some good down-home cooking!!! We had the fried and breaded Walleye, then some homemade Chicken noodle soup.... we came back the next day and had liver and onions, broasted chicken and homemade Chicken rosemary soup! Topped it off with a yummy piece of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a cup of coffee!! Need I say more???!!! read more

Pretty good. I had the light Iron man omelette and it was perfect with a fruit cup for breakfast! Very tasty!

Great food friendly service and the cooks were very speedy. A very large breakfast menu to choose from .

Stopped on on my day off for breakfast the meat lovers skillet was excellent service was fast and friendly will definitely have to stop again before I go back home read more

This place is fine dining food at casual dining prices. The service is excellent. I have been here about 10 times. It has become my stopover on my way to Chicago. I have tried several plates and all have been great. The soups are outstanding. read more

I am a vegatarian and love the Mediterranean style cuisine. My favorite is their homemade spinach pie with Greek salad and fresh fruit. It is to die for!!! read more

Sunfield Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

We'd spent a long, busy day in Chicago and were traveling home when we stopped off the highway for gas and decided to grab a quick bite to eat. This was the only restaurant nearby that wasn't a fast-food joint, so we decided to give it a try. Sometimes, you just get lucky and find a real gem! Sunfield is one of those homey, family restaurants loved by locals. The decor isn't fancy, but the food is great and affordably priced. The staff was also very friendly. We'll be sure to stop back in the next time we're traveling through Illinois. read more

Amazing Mediterranean skillets. Great service too! Fast order to table delivery. Reasonable price. All around great experience.

Best service (friendly and quick) and breakfast around the area! Reasonable prices and good portions. We were frequent visitors when we lived in the area and look forward coming here when we return. read more

My mother and I have been here twice now and this second time was a lot more enjoyable. I do want to apologize to the waitress though, my mom doesn't seem to grasp offensive jokes and who she may get away with telling them to. Sarah was the name on the bill and I hope she reads this. I felt awkward when she told you her first joke but our seemed to roll with the punches very well. Either way the food was good but the service was better by far. When we come back I hope we get you again :) read more

This is a well run restaurant. Good food and service. Close to I-80. Breakfast all day if you are interested. Extensive menu. I will be back for sure. read more

I love this place. They have something for everyone on their menu! I get scared when I go to a restaurant and see so much on the menu because the quality usually suffers. Not here! Everything I tried on the menu has been excellent! They have great specials everyday and every weekend too. The staff are always nice too. I usually try to go there to eat or carry out once a month. read more

Wife and I always go here for the breakfast. Never disappointed with what we get. The service can be slow at time but is not to blame since they are always busy in the mornings. read more

This place used to be our favorite go to resturaunt. Paid 21.00 for a fatty prime rib that made my husband gag there was so much fat. Told waitress who was newer and she let kitchen know and they made excuses saying we still got the same weight meat There was a teenager working the register who asked us how things were which I dont know why bc she clearly knew nothing about customer service and was just going through the motions. I told her to tell the cooks they lost a customer of 3 years she was fine with letting us walk out as was the kitchen staff AND the wife owner took my call the next day only to tell me she wanted to find out what happened, no apologies, took my number only to blow me off. Obviously the wife owner doesn't care either. I will be sure and spread the word of this restuarant that used to be a great place to go. Wont set foot in there again when there are establishments that truly care about their customers. read more

Great dining option in Ottawa, Il. The staff that I dealt with was all super friendly. The food was hot and fresh and tasted homemade. I had the Italian beef which is more of a French dip, but it had a good flavor. You get bread, crackers, and cracker breadsticks with every meal which is a nice extra. Plenty of variety on the menu and breakfast served all day. If I was back in Ottawa, IL, this restaurant would be a top option. read more

Food is good. Menus is large so selection is not a problem. The service was great and price is moderate. All in all I really like this place.. read more

We can't say enough about this wonderful family restaurant so happy to of tried it the one time a couple years back we have been back there since several times since. Service is an A+ constantly checking to make sure everything is perfect and so is the food everything we have tried has been wonderful. We highly recommend this place. read more

Had a great experience, food was tasty and served very quickly even though the place was packed. The servers seem to have a great team working system going on. I would come back. read more

Not a bad place for basic diner-style cuisine. Food was decent but nothing spectacular (though they do serve crispy-coat fries, which were pretty good). Service was friendly and fairly efficient, far better at least than the place that used to be here - Country Kitchen - where we always waited forever for our food even when the place was almost empty. read more

My daughter bought her wedding dress in Ottawa and she ate lunch here and came home raving about it. Our servers name was Allison and she was one of the best servers we have ever had. My wife had the cobb salad and my son and I each had the skirt steak and I can say without a doubt it was the best skirt steak I've ever had in my life. I will definitely be back and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. read more

Excellent food a lot of homemade items on menu. Not frozen prepackaged food!! The soups are always on point. Awesome gyros And great breakfast. Prices are very reasonable read more

Sunfield's is new to Ottawa (they have a place in Yorkville) and I'm soooo glad they're here. Overall it's a clean, family style restaurant but the service is good and the food is good too. I especially love the gyros platter. The gyros meat is moist and flavorful and it's served with triangles of pita, feta cheese, olives, cucumber sauce plus onions and tomato. I had friends over for lunch and picked up 4 orders! What a hit! read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast while visiting my inlaws. I was washing up when the waitress brought our order. Immediately my husband notices she brought french toast instead of pancakes for me, he pointed it out the the waitress politely and she said "No, she ordered french toast" At this point I came back to the table and the waitress asked me "Did you order french toast or pancakes?" and I answered "pancakes" She replied "I wrote down FRENCH TOAST" and showed me her paper as if this were proof. I don't even like french toast but when she sighed heavily and asked if I wanted her to get me pancakes instead, I told her it was fine, I'd keep the french toast. I didn't want the hassle and we'd been waiting a while already. The scrambled eggs that came with my order were so overcooked and dry they were brown. Completely inedible. The french toast was cold. My husband had a skillet and his eggs were overcooked as well and the potatoes were very cold as if they had been frozen. There was no way either of us were eating the food. We didn't try and complain because just wanted to get out of there and go to Cracker Barrel for something edible. We paid the check and left. $20+ to learn the lesson that they can't even cook at a beginner's level. read more
